Josh Elander Named Tennessee Head Coach

[barney]

anyways a lot of supposed fans came out of this looking awfully dumb

 

[madbamahater]

Wonder if the players rallied and said this is our guy? Typically you don't weigh too much with what players want as far as long term coach, but with this roster and incoming class, we can't let it fall apart.

Imagine everyone bailing out right now.....that would be a disaster that would take a few years to recover from.

This is probably the best case scenario right now. It hopefully keeps all or most of the roster and recruits on board. It also gives him a shot to prove he's the guy and we'll know fairly quickly if he's not, which would lead to a full on new coaching search anyway.....

That was the fastest any search firm has ever operated in the history of collegiate sports. I’m happy with the decision but why the smoke show? Only makes me question the entire narrative even more.

Might have something to do with state law regarding hiring at UT. Just may have to interview more than one person before a hire is made. Search firm just puts a nice bow tie on the process

What happened to bad Danny?

So much unnecessary gnashing of teeth in here... I’ve got receipts, but I’ll have mercy.

So many idiots in here. We'll be just fine. Like us sane people already knew

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

But but Danny won’t hire home because he wants to hire his own guy and look smart or some crazy ****! Lmao

Bunch of dummies

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

I know who I hope gets his old job.

Your son?

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Is he going to shave and drop some weight?

According to the legion of the miserable, yes.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

So happy DW did this. Thanks for keeping our program together!

Now you love him again?

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Danny still sucks. I’m not gonna applaud him for making the easiest coaching decision in any sport in my lifetime

You people are

 

[tennrich1]

I think this was more than likely the plan all along if TV left for any reason. As DW said…JE was the clear choice!

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

Who is likely the infield coach?

… here. You can borrow mine…

 

[Godfatha]

This makes me relieved! This was the right choice

 

[Christian Lowe]

Who is likely the infield coach?

I’d imagine Ross Kivett will take elander’s role over

 

[mackievol]

Keep this train moving one dong at a time. Lets go!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Legion of Doom]

Hoepfully Frank Anderson keeps coaching.

Not sure, but thought I heard in the past that the Athletic Dept was not required to follow those rules…… anybody know for sure one way or the other?

I’d assume that goes without saying. Sensei.. it’s hard for that type of personality to retire.

 

[ETNVolunteer1]

Anderson is sticking around a few more years. You all can stop worrying.

Think it has to do with UT being a state university

I think you’re right. I think it’s all an optics game. Probably knew he wanted Elander the entire time.

For all those worried about recruiting taking a hit with Tony V gone
