Former Tennessee AD Hamilton finds second career in Africa
Former Tennessee AD Mike Hamilton had an eventful reign, having fired Phil Fulmer and hired the likes of Bruce Pearl, Lane Kiffin, and Derek Dooley. He's now taking a break from athletics management and working with the charity Blood:Water Mission. It aims to help fewer children in Africa become orphans by increasing availability of clean water and reducing the rate of AIDS infection.
Regardless of what anyone thought about how Hamilton ran UT's athletics department, everyone said he's a good man. He's proving that to be true.

Wow... good for him.
I have to be honest; it raises my level of respect for him about a hundred-fold.

Go Dawgs!
I suspect...
that Mike Hamilton may have been a little TOO NICE to really make a successful athletic director. It seems like we almost always hired the “best interviewee” when looking for a coach. Lucky for him, Bruce Pearl was great coach and a great interview.
Despite all that, if you ever get the chance to talk to him… I’d advise doing so. He’s one of the most fascinating characters, and just about the best person you could ever hope to meet.
