Buzz Peterson Interview: Part II

I had four years left on my contract at Tennessee. I thought if I didn’t get the job done in five years, they needed to make a change. I loved the place. My father went there, I had a lot of family there. I would have stayed there and worked so that they wouldn’t have to pay me the balance. I would then have had three years left and I would have just worked to help raise money and help the next coach out or help anybody out in the athletic department. They decided they wanted to make a change real quick. I also talked to Coach Smith, Coach Williams and Coach Fogler. (College Hoops Net)
