I don’t think it can be seen as a negative how he interacts with people. Everybody has a different personality. Some are very outgoing and others reserved. I think the important part is how he builds relationships with recruits, players, coaches, and the fans. I think he knows this, but he does not have to be Tony to be loved. And a different attribute that he will have than Tony will be how he interacts with his wife and his beautiful kids.
For our family we have a different bond with him and his family than Tony. His older daughter always finds Kirby and wants to hang out with him at practice. Kirby‘s girlfriend babysits them.

Glad Kirby’s gf has a job to keep her away from him.

We need Kirby to focus on the important things, like Tennessee baseball.

Right on the heels of Scnall’s decision… 🤔. Is Kendall suggesting that the job was Scnall’s to accept only to be given to Elander as the backup option?

He said in a response to Jon Reed on Twitter that he was implying it was a mutual decision between DW and Schnall to not move forward.

I guarantee you there are a lot of teams unhappy we made this hire. Why? Because the second we didn’t, a big-time program, and probably one of our rivals, was going to snatch him up and put him on their staff.

Let's let it be his team now, reminding ourselves that the tradition of this program is that each team's players determines their own unit personality and their own rituals. Go Big Orange (& Cream) ;) !

Cincinnati is my team after UT and I always had wanted Fickell to move on before Marcus Freeman so that Freeman would get his HC shot at UC and I thought the same would happen here with Elander getting poached before CTV eventually left. Glad it didn’t happen!! The Vols are going to continue to be freaky good!!

Kirby has come such a long way from seeing him as a youngster running around at football games. Hope he has a great future with the BaseVOLS!
