AD's are rated on money brought in, results, grades and hires. His history says average for sure. Go Vols

Both Pearl's and Kiffin's players (since he arrived) are doing better in the classroom. Money raised is up. Pearl is the man and football will be exciting again. Outstanding job by Hamilton!

Anyone doing building projects in this economy and keeping the ship afloat is doing fantastic work IMO.

I think that Hamilton deserves kudos for firing Fulmer when it was way overdue. That took some big balls and I think that it will pay off in the long run.

he has no class-dickey deciple another joke-dd pobably should have been prosecuted-a least fired-can you say "shakley"-hamilton has no class-i am no fulmer fan, but the way he handled that was classless-a 3 week funeral-baseball hire a flop and in 3-4 years he job will depend on kiffin-so long mike-go back to south carolina

It took some gonads to fire Fulmer (whom I do not hate, by any means)... He brought in Pearl and he brought in Kiffin. Granted, Kiffin was all but beggin for a job, but he has definitely stirred the pot and kept it interesting. I think all in all, Hamilton has done a pretty good job thus far. We'll have to wait and see how the Kiffin hire ends up. Could be great, could be bad. Who knows. One thing is for certain, athletic revenues are up as us the fans are spending our money to see our Vols. Go Vols!!

Still can not manage a budget in bad times. Just keeps on increasing "taxes" as a bureacracy does.

His only bad mark remains the baseball team and that moron Raleigh. MH, put that program in your sights and go clean it up. We'll support you. Right now it went from mediocre embarrassment to raging disaster, but you can get it straightened out by hiring a legitimate coach and promoting the program. Can't hold out for Todd Helton forever. He's not ready to coach yet.

Mike is outfrickinstanding. I travel the country and I can assure you that Tennessee is known near and far as are their coaches. We are in the Top 5 favorite programs because of our teams, our coaches, our fans, and our Athletic Director. The two types of people who have a problem with MH seem to either have a real problem paying more money for a ticket than their grandfather did. (Those big venues that you sit in don't build themselves and yes, keeping good coaches happy DOES matter.) The second type of Hamilton Whiner doesn't understand why we don't beat everyone everygame and has a little trouble with spelling and punctuation. My advice? Expect the best. Look for the Good. Support the Vols. Oh yeah, get off Mike's back...he's doing great.

Ernie G. dropped Bruce in Hammy's lap. - No credit for that.
Phillip should have had another year sans the Clawfense. One losing season in 16 1/2 years! - No class Hammy!
Todd Raleigh? Yeah Hammy you get all the credit or that one.
Putting J.J. Clark over Men's and Women's CC as well as Men's and Women's Track? I like J.J. but we'll see about that one. - Looks like a cost-saving move to me.
Coach K has a good Golf program but we can improve. - Hammy has nothing to do with it.
Don't mess with Trembley or Parrington, Swimming & Diving are fine. - Hammy had nothing to do with it.
Tennis...great staff and excellent hire in Winterbotham, leave them alone! Hammy gets the nod!!!

Im glad hes not Summitt's boss, he'd have probably fired her for not reaching the Sweet 16!
