Refunds are in the mail.

Hey now!
We are all experts here!

hah u make me laff !!!!

 

[chuckiepoo]

DW got one of his top 1-3 options officially.

…endless unconfirmed speculation.

 

[VolNExile]

Can you tell me who the great coaches back then were for lady basketball? Everyone in collthis forum knows that she put Girl's college basketball on the map. Now things have changed- ratings are skyrocketing for the top teams in the country-- we need to be in on that action. Tennessee Lady VOLS are the bluest of the blue bloods. We shouldn't be taking a back seat to anyone. That's the way I feel.

"Girl's college basketball" lol

Try "girls' high school basketball; women's college basketball"

Or "Boys' college football", I dunno

So @Stoerner Fumbles is Cora Hall?

Always seemed mercurial in temperament. Would explain why it’s always the same time of month.

Don't Who that poster is.
Cora Hall was saying first of next week that was guess/prediction

@DeerPark12 has been well respected on here for as long as I can remember. SO much so, that when he told me I was overthinking it about the PR signs signaling Danny White was going to fire Kellie... I actually quit posting for several days. That's how much I respect him.

My issue is when when posters build a reputation on being “in the know” and then go ghost whenever they’re wrong. It really is ok to own it.

If someone has sources/contacts that the average fan doesn’t, cool. But don’t make definitive statements as if you heard something directly from the source (aka Danny). And then back-track when wrong.

Kinda like what happened to our program after Fulmer was fired. I think there's a lot to what you said.

I think if you look at our team at the beginning of the SEC Conference games, one would quickly understand why we were looking for a new coach. However, I had begun to think, after the last two games against, South Carolina, she might survive if she had been able to get 3-4 commitments by the end of last week. Therefore I think the decision was made weeks ago and they waited until the anniversary of her contract to announce their decision.

I’ve spoken to 2 people who have knowledge of the situation. While they don’t know who, they’ve said we have been turned down multiple times.

That information is not vague------they should be fortune tellers

You’re definitely right that a “no” can be generated from either side and presented in the best light by a party as they desire. When you reference “interviews” that typically happens pretty late in the process. What happens early is that someone from our side vets possibilities through an agent. I’d assume several potential candidates were pruned there. I definitely agree that we have not been “turned down by several candidates”. In fact, I feel pretty comfortable that we’ve made either one or two offers only.

Good stuff. I got some places to be this weekend so I won’t post again unless some official news is leaked to a credible media outlet! I’m about to leave the rest to that fanatics crew from over on Twitter.
The Lady Vols are looking at a major deal and successful coach being announced according to my sources. The new saying is this, “what do you call it when your designated hitter is at the plate with the bases loaded?”
A grand slam! GBO.

I can't believe not a single plane has been tracked. What kind of amateur coaching search is this?

 

[Batman1948]

I mean, he owned 20-something acres of land about a half hour drive from Knoxville. How could he not have been coming?

And, his wife was a UT cheerleader.

Some have been hanging around the bus station.

Don't need a plane from West Virginia

150 pages and not a coach.

Wait, were we supposed to be making the hire this week on this thread? Oh man, we really dropped the ball posting here all week.

 

[VolSummitt44]

A good coaching search always has aircraft locations in it, that's all I'm saying.

Female. Guy. I started with women, but that sounds very mature. It's the point of the message that counts. Lady'? I called myself a "girl" in my description. I'm old.

It’s where I get my annual shots

Lead or buckshot?

 

[Batman1948]

I think that if you want to get to a higher level, you better hire a coach that’s been to a higher level than Harper. Otherwise what was the purpose in the change..

And from what I’ve been told, I believe wholeheartedly that we’ve offered multiple coaches and have been turned down multiple times. I don’t know who directly, but once we see who’s hired, apparently, that becomes clear (and I don’t even know that DW has picked yet).

Dude, you're just repeating yourself

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Wow, 150 pages and no announcement. Can’t wait to see the number of pages for CRB next year.

 

[LUVMESUMVOL]

When DW fired our coach, he said we wouldn't hear from him again until the next hire was made. In the absence of information, people just make sh*t up.

You must have seen my post when I said don’t spell your cuss words all the way but use a symbol. Good job Bat
