All but an announcement away from confirmation.

[PalardyLikeARockstar]

But the same source I spoke of earlier has informed me of two new things:


- this is a done deal

- Lance Thompson is 10 steps beyond angry.

 

[SDV]

Who is it

 

[AJeray4TN]

That's pretty angry.

 

[AJeray4TN]

Who is it

Another linebackers coach.

Fine with the hire, but gosh I really don't want to lose Lance

 

[SDV]

Not mad at this

 

[ThreatLevelVol]

Who is it?

 

[Govol111]

People but seem disappointed by this, and I am a little bit too, but this is not a bad hire. He has done well with Alabama and their Linebackers and defense and has won a plethora of recruiting awards and honors. No need for mattress burning.

Not mad at this

What's he mad at?

 

[orangepeopleeater]

Can you blame Thompson? This is like a major slap in the face.

 

[Spectator]

Throw some more money at Lance. Some kind of loyalty bonus. We need stability!!

Idk what to think about it if he is the man. I would rather have Thompson

 

[gordonr24]

Can you blame Lance if he is angry? Hiring a LB's coach from another school to be the DC over himself being promoted would be very irritating.

 

[AJeray4TN]

Who is it?

Lol. When I googled Sal Sunseri just now, a picture of Randy Shannon popped up.

 

[Swanny]

:rock: better give LT a raise!!!!

 

[Volgrad98]

This may have been covered before but here goes, was Coach Thompson lobbying for the job? Is that why he is supposedly upset or is he upset at the fact that he should have been offered the job based off of merit and tenure?

 

[Kurtastrophe]

I'm okay with this hire. I'm nervous about CLT. Players and recruits love him.

Name Lance Co-defensive coordinator. We can't loose him now.

 

[MiddleVol]

Who is it?

Sunseri. It's all over Twitter and message boards with people claiming a source.

Beyond all that e-cred junk, this is the only one Rucker and Hubbs have confirmed. Really anyone could safely come to this conclusion based on timing and the fact that this is the first confirmed guy.

I'll be surprised if Thompson stays.... Hell he might go to bama and take sals job

He should be.

 

[CountVolcula]

I doubt LT is angry. If so, would have been mentioned before now. He would have been mad at not being considered first
