I don’t think he overplayed his hand. He got exactly what he wanted.
I don’t think he had any real leverage, but I agree that he got what he wanted. I actually think that Yow got what she wanted too. She didn’t want DD to walk away. Do that and she likely would not have been allowed to pick the next coach. The best thing for her would be if DD were still around.
The question became how to get the $$$ people to agree to a bigger deal. Tennessee and the rolling ticker on the bottom of ESPN last night evidently got that done. Win/win/win for Yow, DD and his agent.
I suspect we’ll revisit this in a couple of years. I could be pleasantly surprised though.
My question is to the Greys of the world. Do you still love all things DD? I pretty much view him the same as I did before.
