Didn't UT just hire a new coach this semester? Didn't Dr. Scarborough see this coming and couldn't he have warned administrators about the need to contain salary costs? Didn't Chuck Lehnert retire April 30, 2009 and get rehired on May 1 2009 (which suggests that he may be drawing his pension as well as a 160k salaray)? COuldn't we have just let him retire and then hire someone else cheaper, thereby saving a few jobs? Couldn't some of the higher level administrators go on a furlough one day per week? The 20% savings could then save lots of lower paid jobs.
