I'm not so worried about the financial health of the department. Yes, we are in poor shape. But, we have endured basically five very, very uncharacteristically bad years in our football program. We have a 102,000 plus seat stadium that is at least 1/3 empty most games. Tennessee apparel is not flying off the shelves any more. Get a coach in here who can win, recruit, and bring hope and excitement back to this fan base and the revenue problem will take care of itself.
I was so happy after we beat NC State that I went out and purchased a new UT shirt. I was ready to believe again. The loss to Florida hurt. I'm ready to believe again. I'm ready for that Tennessee pride to return. I want my team to be able to compete against Alabama and Florida again.
