Integrity? We are gonna beat Bama, Florida and you are going in the first round to the NFL. That is ALL you have to convince them of. These are 17 and 18 yr olds whacked out on ADHD drugs, video games, twitter and sexting. Integrity is not in their dictionary. All Saban tells recruits is " you will win the SEC and play for the NC at least 2 of the years you play and I promise you'll never see the inside of a cop car regardless what you do". #epicwin

What about the head coach being a role model for youth of E. Tennessee and the state? And, as a role model for the area in general? A school's head coach is better known nationwide than its AD, Chancellor, or President and ,therefore, helps define its reputation. If you really love the University of Tennessee, you will not want a person with Petrino's reputation setting its reputation. You will not want win-at-all-cost. That price is too high.
