Hart and the Haslams have apparently had some disagreements throughout the search about the control aspect of the search. Haslams have let Hart run the show with Gundy, Strong, etc. but tonight's news has the big boosters riled up and wanting to take over control.

John Brice of VolQuest said that if Hart does not have the authority to make the decision on who is hired he has told people he may resign once a coach is announced.

Hubbs said there are conversations ongoing tonight about this.

He's pretty much universally hated there now, right?

He is an ego-maniac.

Unless he pulls something out of his arse, I don't see much chance he survives (or the chancellor of the university).

If a good hire is pulled out of our arse it will most likely be the doing of Haslam and Co. anyway.

Where did he come from? Is he a Tennessee guy?

I'm seeing now that the best thing we ever did was implode the local Good Ole Boy network when Nutt and Frank Broyles were put out to pasture.

He was the associate AD at Bama. Ran the day-to-day ops there.

Was mostly brought in to consolidate the mens and womens ADs and clean up Hamilton's financial mess. Has done a decent job there, but has royally fricked this search up.

sounds like a great situation for a potential coach to want to walk into.

Curious why the perception that he is botching this? If they are offering shite loads of money and keep getting turned down it's obviously not a very attractive job. How is it his fault? Did he run Fulmer, hire Kiffin, and hire Dooley?

You guys can't find a coach, now you want to try to find a AD too?

If you believe some Tennessee people, Hart didn't want Gruden. Hart's people were leaking Gruden wasn't interested while big boosters were putting out information that Gruden was interested under the right circumstances.

Now he is screwing it up because he slow played Strong, who was considered the floor for a new hire, while trying to get Gundy from OSU.

Maybe UT will call Alleva again if Hart quits.

Should've gone Strong from the jump. Literally and figuratively.

If true, that's another accurate prediction by the boys from the 8th.
