With the hiring of Pittman, it shows that no one knows what's going on in UT's hiring process anymore. Why people continue to try and guess and make themselves look like fools (especially the Knoxville media) is mind-boggling.
I would tend to agree with the OP. However the was some rumbling about CJG before he was hired and the ink hadn't dried on HH resignation letter before another coach was hired. Not alot of time for speculation.
I don't know who the heck we get as DC, but Sam Pittman seems to be a great coach based on being named a dual HC at UNC for a bit and a name recruiter. He's developed some talented kids...if Dooley bombs next year then at least he's trying to get some legit replacements. It seems like he'll be an upgrade over HH.
