Sounds like a good hire for them.

Vol Nation did a complete 180 and is loudly proclaiming that it’s their time now. Visions of championships abound.

There's now a thread on Vol Nation about a rumor that Henry To'o To'o was paid $50,000.00 during the middle of the season to not transfer...

Danny White makes sense. He was mouthing off about UCF's "national championship" in 2017. Seems like he had some comments about Alabama.

It's not going to make a difference though.

My goodness. Seems like if true he would be ineligible to play anywhere.

Apparently the rest of the sports world is very scared now. According to them anyway. Personally I had to be reminded who he was.

Say what you will, like him or not, Danny White is an excellent hire for Tennessee. He is an experienced AD, and has a good hiring track record albeit at the G5 level. The real question is can he find a good head football for UT? He hired Lance Leipold from UW Whitewater a perennial NC at the Division III level to Buffalo, he promoted Nate Oates to Buffalo's head basketball coach, now at Alabama, and the last two HCs at UCF. The key takeaway from those hires is that they came from smaller programs where they won and moved to bigger programs and have also won. Does this mean the next HC hired at UT will win the SEC and a NC, probably not, but anything can happen if he lands the right HC.

Someone has now convinced the UT faithful that Joey Freshwater has reached out to the UT administration showing great interest in “coming home” to be the head coach.

You can’t make this still up

Fair enough. I trust Coach Saban's judgment in all things football.

You and me both. Henry is a stud. Though, I see where you are coming from.

 

[JayBama_in_PCOLA]

Of course that would come out since BAMA is one of the landing spots.

Good points, but... has he needed to hire a coach for a school that's under a potentially devastating NCAA investigation?

Amazing what hiring an AD from a G5 school can do for you!

Will they now claim an NC since Danny White is there?

Comments lately? Bless his heart

Yeah, my post earlier In this thread, if they were paying players, there has to be players that were paid! who are they?

No, I think he said something after the 2017 season. I can't recall exactly what. He was overt in making sure the whole world knew UCF was also 2017 "champions."

At first I thought they hired the former Cowboys QB whose now selling security systems on infomercials. I had no idea who he was until someone brought up his whining about the 2017 NC.
