I really appreciate the professional manner that this search has been both conducted in and reported on. The UT Athletic Dept. has kept the info close to their vest, and W/R/K have done their best to only report credible information. I am so glad that the UT search has not become a laughing stock like the Arkansas search has. Thanks guys.
That being said, I think Strong is the best option out of the three, but I've wondered why Butch Davis and Dabo Sweeney aren't higher on the list.
Thank you, jmaddox82

Every hire you make has its potential for problems. Look at the one we just suffered through. Put some tight controls and oversight in place, put some conditions in a contract and get rolling. If Davis did not get in any hot water at Miami (look at what he did there with scholarship restrictions because of Dennis Erickson's laxity. Look at his graduation rate there and everybody knows what a minefield of a program South Beach High is) then he can run a clean program in Knoxville. Sorry but we aren't in a position where we can't make a risk free hire. See Lane Kiffin, Derek Dooley, and IMO Al Golden and Larry Fedora)

I'm sure he has. That's why Davis has gotten no traction in this search.
He LOST his job at UNC because of the NCAA investigation. Somebody at UNC thought he had enough responsibility for what happened that he was let go. That's enough reason for me to stay away from him if I'm Hart, particularly since we are already on probation.

He might have lost his job because the pres was willing to sacrifice his HC in their minor sport to appease the NCAA and forestall investigations into improprieties in the major sport-----basketball. As another here said we disagree. I know you hope your reasoning prevails as I do mine. Meanwhile Hogs and Tigers have secured Beleima and Malzahn----2 pretty good coaches. We're still looking.

Recruiting is the thing I like least about Strong..His best showing was a #22 rated class in 2011..I looked up his 2013 class and to be honest it's pretty pitiful..I do like that he has stronghold on the best high schools in miami ..These are the same schools Jimmy tapped to build a hurricane dynasty..
