Is Charlotte central location for Chapel Hill and Knox?

Will Healy would be the exact opposite of what Randy Boyd was talking about. Said this isn't a "tryout" job.

 

[Smokeyshowl66]

Well, it is a nice city.

And also a major hub for American. Easy place to meet someone for final interviews and/or negotiations.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

AP said he’s going to bed now that his daughter is off to school. He’s so butthurt about this entire situation.

Poor guy

 

[Aesius]

Ok, so we know it’s a man

Was hoping for Beth Mowins. Screw this, I'm going back to bed.

 

[utkevdawg1]

Didn't realize the Panthers just got a new GM. Perhaps Rhule could be in play.

Probably not. He actually had a say in the GM hire. Rhule is Tepper's guy and on a 7-year contract. Doubt he's going anywhere unless he's absolutely miserable in the NFL.

 

[amazingGRACE]

For some reason I still think it’s Franklin & I wouldn’t be mad at it. Dude would win a ton of games here.

 

[McGeesPub]

Need a Neyland Rising update. Did he work through the night?

“I believe White has his guy. It’s just a matter of finalizing things. We know it’s not Fleck, Dykes, or Elliot. So that leaves Franklin, Fickell or someone from left field. My bet is left field”

No Elliott?

“I’ve always believed he was a smokescreen/backup plan. He still hasn’t been contacted by DW. He’s been vetted but no formal contact.”

 

[Vols410]

If it’s actually over today it’s Campbell, Fleck, or some other well-regarded HC.

Healy, Dykes, and others would need this to go to Currie lengths of crazy.

 

[Nuctech777]

Can’t deny what was never offered in public. This AD playing 4D chess

Meanwhile, we’re all over here doing mental gymnastics like we’re trying to make the next olympics.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Tony Elliot incoming

 

[EezyE]

Ok, so we know it’s a man

In that case, it’s got to be Mike Gundy.

. For that reason I'm hoping its my new home soon

So from his perspective Campbell is left field?

Why would he not mention Campbell? Does Campbell play LF?

Love the sound of that

 

[DustyRockSolid]

I never woke up to check in on the night shift. Did j miss any nugs? Who have we talked ourselves into and who are we protesting against?

 

[VolInDayton]

Wasn't part of the Panthers sell to Rhule that he would pretty much be the GM?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

If it’s Fickell versus Left Field that’s a pretty great group to be narrowed down, too.

I don’t care what Bob says, I refuse to believe James Franklin is a real option. It would make zero sense as he would not be a good fit here. And why would Franklin make a lateral move to a much harder job? It’s not him.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Left Field.... We bring the Ogre back

If it’s between Fickell and Franklin, give me Fickell all day. Absolutely no character baggage with him.

 

[BruinVol]

I know many of you have Lost faith in the Vq guys but with the AD hire they knew the announcement was coming. They told us the timeline had been moved up and it was.

Today AP is going to bed. They don’t think it’s happening today and I believe them

 

[CoachClick]

I just pray AV, or Metal Volunteer, or Mighty Mouse drops by and tells us it's NOT Franklin.

I am so sick of seeing that a$$hat's name.
