Headed to bed. something to keep in mind tho - ATL said to ignore the media except for Lowe. LWS said Campbell is diversion. I’d say those two are in agreement here.

Maybe LWS post is a diversion because it is supposed to be closed circle information about the hire and it’s leaking. Maybe he’s throwing us off the scent so Campbell doesn’t get spooked.

And that’s how you do coaching searches rookies

Late Night Thoughts on Candidate's Chances:
Just thought Id write up some thoughts on the candidates I saw today. Just bored so pay no mind if not interested.

Matt Campbell - No. I don't see us getting Matt Campbell. He is an Ohio man and honestly would only leave for a Big 10 job IMO. Making $3.7M in Iowa? He is set.
Luke Fickell - No. Same with Luke Fickell. He worked at Ohio State for quite a while and just recently had his son sign to play for him at Cincy.
Lane Kiffin - Maybe. With Plowman and White preaching integrity and character, I just don't see him pulling the trigger on Lane. I wish, but don't think so.
James Franklin - NO. Hubbs' dumbass said this on the podcast earlier today & you cannot be serious suggesting this man coming to Knoxville. Remember that whole cover up thing at Vandy?
Sean Lewis - Yes. White almost always hires someone not on anyone's list & I think given Kent State's ability to score, he could be considered. Hasnt had much success total wins wise, but is young and scores. Might like his potential.
Jason Candle - Yes. Almost word for word with Sean Lewis. Young guy, small school, scores points. Could be an option.
Tony Elliot - No. I think this is a leak for a raise from Clemson. No shot White doesn't give the UCF job to Elliot, but does the Tennessee job. I also don't see how someone with White's expertise couldn't recognize that Elliot's success by & large came from having generational QBs back to back in Watson & Lawrence.
Lance Leipold - Yes. Has a relationship with White & is clearly good at scoring points at Buffalo. Built Buffalo up and has had a nice few years.
Jamey Chadwell - Yes. The man can coach & score points. He has that bridge to Tennessee pride as well that I think White might see as a bonus. Its no Kiffin, but Id be happy with it ultimately.
Kevin McGiven - Maybe. If they were to go the coordinator route, which please God no, I could see this being a hire on not a single person's list. McGiven was at Oregon State when they were lighting up the scoreboards from 2015 - 2017 and helped San Jose State turn their offense into a highly effective one this year. Definite longshot, but could be a darkhorse here.

Im not an insider or anything, just my opinions from reading today. I really don't see White going after someone as big name as VN tends to think, but am happy to be wrong. White has a record of finding talent where no one else is looking. Fingers crossed!

Guys,
Matt Campbell played college ball. He was a tight end with Pitt before transferring to a DIII school and played on the D line. I would imagine his height would have to be 6’2” or taller. So definitely needed the jet mentioned earlier.

Just throwing that out there. Not sure if it relevant.

Played at Pitt where Majors coached. Majors coached at Iowa State. It's all coming together.
