Yep, the article sounds like our guy. Who else would say, "We've got the best coaching staff in the SEC, no USA"...or something to that effect. Words tumble from him easily...but for some reason his words did not sway key recruits to TN. And yet he locked up another 'world class' contract and he's never won a game in the SEC. The obvious conclusion is Hart and all the other idjits who are in the decision making chain regarding UTK athletics need to go. The management of Dooley and the hiring process was very clownish and amateurish, an obvious indication of Hart's ineptness. I hope CJ does well and that maybe his blarney has landed him in a place he really wants to be. Lord knows, he's getting paid enough. But one really wonders if UT faithful got what we hoped for when you compare his recruiting results with the other new hires. How did CJ et al not knock it out of the park given the fact that allededly we have the best facilities in the country in addition to our great football history. Did Hart hire a man who hired a coaching staff with few NFL connections, probably the most important consideration in attracting top talent in the SEC? Hart swooned over Cincy's success in that league and guessed this is all that was needed to win in the SEC. It's a little early but as I've said before, the 1st measure of our new coach will be how he did in recruiting and so far it looks like we didn't get what we paid for.
"A LITTLE early" to judge Coach Jones's recruiting? You think?
Maybe if he'd had thirty-TWO days to recruit instead of 31, the picture would be complete, and we'd know once and for all that this is the worst coaching hire since Gerry Faust. Or Sunseri.
Not sure which is more annoying, the doomsday prophesying, or the certainty that you can predict the future in the first place.
