Are we just never gonna pay the $$ it takes to hire away the better coaches? I'd hate to think that we just kmart shop everytime we go looking for a coach.
It seems like the Vols were at market for the two guys we know about (Strong and Jones). We have no idea how much they would have been willing to pay (or what might have been offered) to others. Heck, if some rumors are to be believed, they offfered over double the $3 million for Gruden. I think they would have paid a lot more for a coach with a better overall background. I just don't get the sense that money was the big issue in this search.
