Rumor Is

Yep - and we've been on the coaching carousel ever since.

It is going to work out sooner or later. If we can just get someone the kids will respect then it may all work out.

[b]My roommate hung out with that Tyler Smith kid when he came up here last weekend.* Supposedly he's a good recruit out of TN...anyways, he said that he wouldnt come here is Buzz was gone.

I've read other posts by people "who know Tyler Smith's family very well" who say that Smith likes UT the School and will most probably come here regardless of the coach.

[UTVOLFAN]

well family or not, that came from the kid's mouth

How many players signed in the early signing period? Because if they did they can ask the NCAA for a waiver from there letter of intent and open there recruiting process again if your head coach is not there anymore!

we are still returning a good team next year. IF we can pull in a good coach that can get his players to play for him, we can have a pretty good team next year.

It's ridiculous to think that any player will leave the school just because Buzz left. If TN makes a dumb hire, then that could happen. But if TN hires a top tier coach with a tradition of winning and has been around long enough to have a tradition of winning, then nobody is going anywhere. As a matter of fact, our current players will probably be so grateful for the right hire that they will name thier first born children after Mike Hamilton. Let's just hope they don't look like Mike.

Hey, at least this is something new to beat TO DEATH until football season comes around.



I think I'll start a poll......

Good team next year what rock have you been living under. Crump was bad but his replacement is worse. McFadgon is gone, Lofton will be gone, Gordon will not come and T. Smith may ask out.

Hey, thanks for that little glimpse of sunshine!

I love all the hand wringing. Lofton should transfer to Louisville. He can play 9-10 minutes a night and carry the equipment.

At least we can hope for fundamentals and defense.

No talent with good coach wins over no talent with Buzz. That's making the big assumption that we actually make a good hire this time.
