KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee has selected a six-person search committee to help find an athletic director to replace Dave Hart, who steps down June 30. The committee includes UT alum Peyton Manning.
The committee also includes prominent boosters Charlie Anderson and Jimmy Haslam, vice chair of the UT board of Trustees Raja Jubran, faculty rep Don Bruce and associate athletic director Donna Thomas.
One source said Tennessee will “cast a wide net to try to get the best of the best” for its athletic director.
No action in terms of hiring an athletic director is expected to be taken by the committee until the February 15 arrival of incoming chancellor Beverly Davenport.
