UT would not comment on why it has opened the bidding process for a search firm for the athletic director hire.
Parker has helped UT fill at least 11 leadership positions, including four in athletics, in the past nine years.
The Atlanta-based firm aided UT searches that resulted in the hiring of Hart, former basketball coach Cuonzo Martin, former football coach Derek Dooley and current baseball coach Dave Serrano.
Parker has been involved with some controversial athletic director hirings over the years. Former Minnesota athletic director Norwood Teague stepped down from the position in 2015 after sexual harassment allegations. Parker disputed a suggestion by school president Eric Kaler that it didn’t do its due diligence during the search process.
In 2013, Parker helped Rutgers University hire former Lady Vols volleyball coach Julie Hermann as athletic director. The firm failed to discover Hermann was accused of verbally abusing UT players in the 1990s, according to USA Today. Hermann was fired by Rutgers in 2015.

Reported for the 100th time in the span of 2 weeks. If you're following our media, and I know you hang on their every word, then you're doing it wrong.

All worked out just great, lets go ahead and hire that search firm again
Jesus we have the most ignorant, idiotic, tone-deaf, and incompetent administration in the country, this debacle just cements that. Its like they don't even see how much a negative light this is painting on UT. Bama gets rid of their AD and has a new one...LATER THAT DAY. Meanwhile it's been mnths since we've known Hart was stepping down...and we are still hiring a damn search committee.

Hart & Dooley were pitiful. Cuonzo is a good/slightly above average BB coach but was a terrible fit at Tennessee (though anyone might have been following Pearl). Serrano was a great hire who is coaching in a terrible no win situation with what SEC baseball has become at Vandy, USCe & UNC all surrounding it.

Sad what they've become...

Did LSU really need to snatch up Orgeron even though he would've taken the job months down the road? Dumb stuff happens everywhere
