Except my post was referring to the entire athletic department there and

the fact that AD has a sustained revenue stream regardless of how individual HCs perform. You will have go back a few ADs to find the last AD at Tenn that really had to worry about the revenue stream drying up or the need for Tenn to revamp its booster club because it isn't donating close to its full potential. Tenn Athletic Department is at place where it can simply plug 'n play who sits in the AD chair while it continues to count those checks.

Schiano was a terrible idea for a hire at Tennessee
SMU Pony • 06/23/26 08:49 PM ET
