He would have had all the tools to be successful there and he would have been paid handsomly if he were. If he really wanted to go back to Ole Miss if the HC opportunity opened up, he still could have done that. I think UT has far more potential to be a consistent player than Ole Miss though.

Anyway, that opportunity is gone, so I'll be interested to see who shows interest in his this year. Someone definitely will at least interview him.

It was how they structured the guaranteed money -

Over the a FOUR year contract - the GUARANTEED money at Tech was more, over a million dollars more...

Outside of Bruce Pearl, look at the run of UT basketball coaches and how many have made it 4 years

UT did not make that mistake with Tyndall and risk being turned down again

Actually, it had more to do with a poor buyout structure that heavily favored UT and an athletic department in monetary flux than guaranteed money in the contract. But you're entitled to state your opinion tirelessly even if it is wrong.

Semantics...

Buy-out structure and guaranteed value of the contract are tied at the hip -

When the man sits across the table from me and tells me he was guaranteed more money by Tech, I tend to believe him...

Don't trivialize semantics. They make all the difference. So I guess he also told you that he asked Mizzou to take his name out of the hat when first contacted?
