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

quote:

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:

It wasn't race. There use to be a very clear difference in pay grade for HC's at places like Louisville and big time programs like UT.

But that's not really an issue anymore. If you are Strong what is to gain by taking the UT job if not money?
