[zachpack]

Pretty interesting article on Vandy's save leader and DH:

“Reed loved the UT coaches, but they couldn’t guarantee him anything outside of pitching,”....

But it wasn't a Vandy Tennesse decision at all.

you are correct. It was, however, a bad decision by our coaching staff if what he says is true.

I'm SHOCKED that this staff would make a bad decision when it comes to talent evaluation.

Wonder why the Knoxville News Sentinel felt the need to run an article about why a player didn't choose Tennessee?

Same guy hired them. Serrano has been an unmitigated disaster at UT but people want to hold out hope that he was great before he got here when he inherited two great situations.

Imo seranno should have been fired for his first hires of coaches. Once he got a mulligan he got it right.

He might have gotten it right. We don't have any proof that things are trending in the right direction yet.

No. The current head coach made that decision. The bottom line is that he has to sign off on those decisions.

The News Sentinel ran it in today's sports section. I understand the Tennessean or the papers in the Tri-Cities area running it. But, why would the KNS run this article?

Probably at John Adams behest.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal, Tennessean, and News-Sentinel are all under the Gannett corporate umbrella now. They share a lot of sports stories due to cutbacks in local staffing. Gannett, of course, owns USA Today and they have all pretty much become "local" editions of USA Today. Not really much local to them. It's mostly regional or national stories.

It's things like this, the KNS site, GoVols Xtra tweeting about Josh Smith's arrest over 20 times in one day, and most of John Adams' articles that make me wonder what kind of business model suggests that you continually stick your thumb in the eye of your customers.

Its about getting clicks on the Interwebz. The media isn't a non-profit entity. Fans or not fans, doesn't matter who is doing the clicking.
