I guess he and the AD were a package deal.

 

[BamaNation]

So in 2.75 years when they fire him for not beating us, will both he and Championship AD Rah Rah both be gone?

 

[Padreruf]

I hope he got a good deal...if there's any money left in Knoxville after the last few years...he will earn every penny...

 

[TriCountyTider]

So, will White hold a press conference today announcing him as coach and 14erC as National Champions?

Potentially solid hire.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

Did they even interview anyone else? Did everyone else say no and the AD just went to what he knows?

Dang! i would have taken that job for a 3 year, 1 million a year deal. I wouldn't care if I got fired or not. Just show me the money.

So, Danny White hired a search firm to help him hire his previous HC hire...

This is the most Fourteenessee thing ever.

Rumor has it they were turned down by two other coaches. Don't recall who, but I think Elliott was one of them.

Oh yeah. I even posted about Elliot (it was a rumor though). I completely forgot.

I received a text from a friend of mine in Nashville. He said, "I think they just hired Chumlee."

 

[TideEngineer08]

You can’t beat the two for one special at Denny’s.

I received a text from a friend of mine in Nashville. He said, "I think they just hired Chumlee."

Should I know who that is?

 

[DogPatch]

Realistically, they couldn't have gotten anyone with better record.
