The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
The job as an AD did itself for you. Just come in, make sure the program is making money, and make sure your coach(es) don't get complacent. WINS COME IN YOU SELL TICKETS YOU LOOK LIKE A GENIUS FOR DOING NOTHING.
Somehow in the Hamilton era he gutted the whole program. Fulmer got complacent, got fired, then the Kiffin debacle (which doesn't look like a great hire anyway), then Dooley. Hamilton gets ushered out, in comes Hart who runs a fukking coaching search like he doesn't even want a fukking coach. He can't GIVE this job away. The whole time all of this stuff is going on there are buyouts, there are coaching contracts, there are new hires, and fans aren't even going to the games.
Mismanagement at every level has cost a once elite program everything. Arkansas, Auburn, Kentucky already have their guy. Tennessee is stumbling around like a drunk at closing time at a bar getting declined by EVERYONE. Eventually we'll find another loser.
CAN'T WAIT.
