Fans were getting restless over the OC hire so possibly Fulmer told Matthews it was 95% locked up so DM would share that info on air and calm the masses. Basilio said it wasn’t even close to being over. The superfans all believed DM and the negaVols didn’t. We now know who was right.

Either way Tennessee is still sh1t at public relations and needs to do a better job with their narratives. The UTAD simply needed to release a statement saying “We’re interviewing many top candidates and will have a guy by NSD”. Then folks aren’t asking why it’s taking so long for that final 5%.

Hire the right guy and no one gives a **** when it counts.

I don't think it was the plan. I think the plan was to hire Freeze and when that was overruled, then Yurcich but that also fell through with the OSU opening. Based on what CJP has stated, it will be someone he is comfortable with and who shares his vision of how the offensive side of the ball fits into his plan. If it is an outside hire, they would have to be willing to work with the existing staff verses bring their own guys. Another hurdle to overcome, so again I think the new OC will be from an existing staff member or members. JMHO.

Lots of constraints here, and CJP knows it’s his butt if this doesn’t work.

Mr. Matthews is not the inside man he thought he was now was he? Doug probably just needs to cool his jets just like everyone else.

Do you guys see the advertisment at the bottom of the page?? Anime girls with the seemingly cream covered title “The Good Manager”. The caption reads “he has a secret power”.

What???

What does that tell you about our demographics?

Hilarious

I don't think you want me to explain what generates those ads that you see.

DM is a great guy who knows way more than just about any person on Volnation. He has integrity and doesn’t throw out stuff to see what sticks.

Maybe 100% true, but maybe he should seek more reliable sources before reporting all that information that he knows more about than about any person on volnation, then he wouldn’t seem like just about every other person on volnation that throws out stuff to see if it sticks!

Someone more reliable that Fulmer? Yeah. Makes sense.

What if said coach was 95% signed, then he backed out at the last minute. In that scenerio, Matthews was correct

How can you be 95% signed? Put all the letters of your name on a contract except the last 2???
News flash,,, you are either 0% or your 100% .on paper.
Verbal agreements are 0% until you put pen to paper, reporting anything other than signed 100% deals as anything is false reporting and just hoping when you throw it out it sticks.

You just dont get it. His source is reliable. Things however change. Kiffin would be our coach if USC did not call. Yurcich would be here if OSU did not call. Recruits change their minds after telling a coach they are coming.

Everyone wants the scoop however things are fluid until the ink dries. Same way in business. I am in commercial development, cannot count the number of times we thought the deal was done.

Agree however everyone wants to know where we are on the deal. So someone close to the deal tells us its almost done.

Are you saying that you do not want to hear one word on how it is progressing until the ink is dry?

There are coaches that have shaken the ADs hand on a deal. AD flys back and gets a call that they changed their mind. Not just UT.

We must have gone through the top 10 choices and are now into 11-20. Maybe by Memorial Day??
Jeez. Multi-billion dollar corporations replace CEOs more expediently.
