Not exactly, Shannon himself denied the rumor to Chris Low today, who reported it on his radio show.
I'm not saying it's going to be RS but doesn't almost every coach that gets a new job usually deny it up until the point when it's officially announced?
No he didnt; Low reported that Shannon only said "I must have a twin"
and Low never stated how he got that info. Whether it was said to him or reported to him by somebody else.

I was on the record a week ago saying absolutely nothing reliable was pointing me toward Shannon as the hire. Nothing has changed my mind.
With Dooley, the only leaks you're going to hear are those that come from close to the candidates, and that's what was missing here. Everyone wanted to say their info came from major boosters or those inside UT, but those people don't have info under the Dooley regime.
If Dooley was as good at coaching as he is controlling information, e'd have won the SEC this year.
So RS decided to talk to Chris Low. Of all the people from Miami to Knoxville, Low is the only person to actually talk to RS? find that hard to believe and even if he did, why would he tell Low if he had taken the job before UT had announced anything? Not saying Low is lying but that is really hard to figure.
From all accounts, it seemed RS was the guy. Footballscoop reported it, ESPN insider reported an "ACC coach for DC" and even Hubbs was going back and forth about whether he was contacted.
Now we are left with some possibilites, however Skeeter has said that the hire will surprise people. Zook seems like he is headed to Auburn, and Bennett seems like a logical hire, but maybe Dooley has someone else. Skeeter, LWS, SpringBok, DeerPark, please comment with info that you have. Let's hope this thread becomes reliable.
