For the first time in my lifetime, I do not care very much at all what happens to UT sports.
The people in charge have been so incompetent that I have lost almost all sense of pride and identification with the school.
The entire University sports programs have proved to be a disgrace to taxpayers in Tennesssee:
Mike Hamilton could not have been a worse hire if someone had tried to employ the worst of the worst. Hamilton's hires are the gift that keep on giving, in all areas.
Tax payers don't fund the University of Tennessee athletic program that money comes from revenues brought in by the athletic department and by donations from Volunteer fans.
Yes, Mike Hamilton made some horrible hires and he turned out to be 0-2 in hiring football coaches. And his worst hire was probably Todd Raleigh as the baseball coach.
Hamilton did however make a couple of good hires in basketball. Bruce Pearl would still be coaching if he hadn't lied to the NCAA. And, I think, Cuonzo Martin is going to do a super job with the basketball program for years to come.
Contrary to what some people might think, I don't believe the football program is that far from being back in the mix.
