And just the whole subject of this story is gut wrenching.  Tennessee is not spending that much money.  Tennessee is able to hire Lane Kiffin, Monte Kiffin, Ed Oregeron, David Reaves and James Cregg for the amount of money that Nick Saban at Alabama makes.  Tennessee's whole staff that has just been hired doesn't make as much as Bob Stoops alone.  Write about some legitimate news.

A coach who was celebrated for telling his players to break legs, arms and even necks to get ahead on the field. Also, don't forget a few years ago when no less than 10 starters were not expelled, suspended or investigated despite being caught cheating red-handed on final exams, and the NCAA looked the other way. Any other school in the country would receive the death penalty for ONE of these infractions. It's repugnant how awful the violations are over at UcheaT. But nobody cares.

VA schools are half that.  aint earl, what in the world does the coaching staff have to do with public schools?  tennessee doesn't use a dime outside of the revenue generated by the football program and private donations.  i think UT is one of four or five universities that do that with their athletic department, and can do that.  BTW, there is no such thing as "state universities" anymore, just "state assisted".  UT system only pulls about 30% of its operating costs from state funds.

Give the underpaid AD credit for putting Kiffin(who could have made more $) in position to succede.

If Delany would get the metal pole out of his rear end and do the right thing, then we can make some progress. Hopefully, Obama issues an executive order at midnight on January 21. you know, a playoff would give the Vols even more money. A playoff is not only necessary, it will help fill the coffers of everyone.

And OL coach James Cregg. Bammer got one coach for 4 Million, TN gets 5. Hmmm who is spending their money more wisely? Oh and they have hired a LB coach, Bama's old LB coach and Ace Recuriter Lance Thompson. Do your Homework. They have already hired an OC Jim Chaney. And OL coach James Cregg.
