Shaka Smart will/should be leading candidate to take over the head coaching job at UT. hmy: TIFWIW

 

[Thrasher865]

will or should? can't say both

 

[zjcvols]

Wow...

 

[VolFromNashville]

He mentioned that Smart would be a good fit for UT. I doubt we talk to him until VCU is done in the tourney though.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Interesting. He is the hot ticket right now...and Stephens.

He said he thinks Smart "should" be the leading candidate because of being an asst at Florida and knowing the SEC and in his opinion, is the hottest coach in the tourney. Have no idea why I put the will/

I like Shaka and wouldn't be upset if he gets the job, but I want Brad Stevens from Butler....I say pay him whatever he wants...

I'd argue that Stevens is the hottest.

I agree with you 110% but for some reason Katz seems to have a woody for Shaka.

Stevens...34 years old...8-3 in the ncaa tourney against teams with far superior talent...That's all that needs to be said. Don't know if he would be interested, but you try like hell to get him.

Shaka does makes the most sense to me, sec experience, no way he can be satisfied at vcu, plus easy relocation geographically.

Shaka's VCU team has looked extremely well coached in the tourney this year. I would love to see what he could do at Tennessee
