We always seem to swing and miss with A.D's

Winning does solve the problem. That and being able to bring in the top caliber players year in and year out. I like Strong personally outta the potential candidates left but I am concerned with his recruiting. I've seen post after post about how good of a recruiter he is but his class this year is currently upper 80's if I remember correctly. His class last year wasn't great either

Hard to compare a recruiting ranking for Big East schools to the ranking for any SEC team. That's like trying to compare the facilities at a D-III school to those at Tennessee or Alabama...

Hart hasn't done one thing wrong. The 50- cent hotdog crowd needs to the shut the hell up.

It is way too early to judge Hart's work at UT. Based on his past performance at FSU and UA, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.

agree Phlip...and everyone on this post saying give Dave Hart a chance to do his job. The guy has some serious "skins on the wall" and I really believe one day we will look back and feel very fortunate to have had him as our AD. I wouldn't want anyone else making this decision and glad no more Hamilton.

Please make me aware of what you know of or what Dave Hart has done that classifys him as a dang good AD. The fact that he has not even contacted the person that At least 90% of the fan base wanted for the new coach, makes me wonder if he even cares about this universtiy. I also find it hard to believe that one of the most important decision in Tennessee football history would be left for a man that has only been in Tennessee for 13 months. If he's so great , why isn't he
reaching out for all the help he can get .

Everything you just said was littered with speculation. Dave Harts record stands for itself. I posted it above.

You are absolutely correct I sould have asked, what has he done for Tennessee. Also, I was baseing the fact that no contact had been made, by the statement that Gruden's agent made Friday.

The only reason folks don't like Hart is because he does not leak information.

That was apparently Gruden's former agent who said that, not his current agent. Either way it is hearsay.

Sorry man, but this is a non-starter of an argument. He's going to be recruiting at Tennessee, not Loserville.
