Official: Danny White hired as AD

[VOLanooga]

Hold up, what board am I on? I thought I was on the TN Vols message board, where the sky is always falling. This news sounds positive so I have to be in the wrong place.

 

[vollygirl]

Just something to keep in mind. Urban Meyer went 12-0 at Ohio State the year they were banned from bowl season. Not saying that's what we will do of course. I'm just saying that sanctions do not have to be the season-wrecker that so many think they will be.

How many players did they lose?

 

[EODVOL]

Ok so if he is such a great AD then why is he at UCF?

ummm...have you not seen UCF trajectory under his leadership? UCF isn't a small school either.

ABSOLUTELY TREMENDOUS!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

THIS IS A GREAT STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!

 

[Myrtleturtle]

You never know. White has connections to Freeze. It would be huge if they had already worked it out amongst themselves and they drop the news tomorrow. Would really legitimize the program if you ask me.

Freeze ain't coming. What don't you understand about that?

 

[BP4Prez]

Home? hahaha

I agree lol. I don’t think there’s much of any chance but i would be for bringing him back.

I don’t even know the connection between White and Kiffin.

 

[kbowersjr]

This is actually why I voted Boyd for Governor, man of action! Great hire

 

[vanillagorilla]

Let’s bring Lane back home boys!!!

I'm hearing things. It might be fixing to get interesting.

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

I like the hire, could been way worse!!!!! Go vols let turn this thing around finally!!!!!

Dang we opened up the vault for an AD

 

[Chilmonty]

We hired a man who actually knows what the hell he is doing, that's just Crazy!!

 

[Brave Volunteer]

How many players did they lose?

I don't know but we haven't lost a bunch of players yet! Let's get a coach in here and see if he can retain some of them. I'm not saying we're undefeated this season but lets keep a little optimism here!

Danny is the opposite side of the AD spectrum from Phil Fulmer

 

[tennesseeduke]

Is Danny White a good choice. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I really just don’t know anything about him.

ummm...have you not seen UCF trajectory under his leadership? UCF isn't a small school either.

actually, UCF has the largest enrollment in the country!

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Coach within 2 weeks. . . or sooner.

 

[TBvol]

Boom!
soon.

Looks like you have been right on target Skippy congratulations

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Outstanding hire.

People keep clamoring for Kiffy.
So you guys are okay with Lane pulling a one and done at Ole Miss just like he did at UT? That's not a good track record.

He left Tennessee after one year for his dream job that had him as their 5th or 6th option. Kiffin wasn't even on their radar until they started getting told no.

And no one on this board or fan base would have a problem if was the other way around where someone left a job after one year to come to Tennessee because it was their dream job.

People still hung up on something from 2010 are not smart people.

Apparently it's only a bad thing if a coach is doing it to UT. If they pull that stunt with any other school it's just "business"

 

[utvolpj]

I like this guy already

 

[jmacvols1]

The consensus seems to be Volnation likes Danny White.....................for now.

 

[rocketskates]

Freeze ain't coming. What don't you understand about that?

We suck. We just went 3-7 and are lucky to have even gotten 3 wins. Lighten up. Speculation is as much fun as we get these days.

He had them headed for Power 5 consideration if the opportunity was ever there.

I'm so floored. We did something right.
