I'm hearing it all came down to some comments Strong was shown by Louisville administrators taken off the govolsextra site or something like that. A few hundred comments with, what I was just told, had something like 70% negative comments against Strong by people who claimed to be UT fans with some being ... dare I say it, very racist in nature.

Don't shoot the messenger. I'm trying to track down the page in question.

Well, that was fairly easy to find. About 148 comments. This is the first one that stood out to me ...

If charlie strong is hired it will be because he is black. cut and dried. And i will burn all my tennessee gear and become gator fan. There are much better coaches out there to be had than charlie. Hart is caving in to b.c.a.

There are not 70% bad posts nor 70% racist posts, but I can see where that might be handed to Charlie and he might say, "oh no, I'm not going there."

Here's the column from John Adams and the comments section in question underneath:

And here is the latest on Strong turning down the job and who might be next:
