BREAKING...Donnie Tyndall is the new Tennessee basketball coach

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

One coach removed from firing a guy for NCAA infractions, Tennessee hires a guy with multiple major infractions that got a school placed on probation. You know what, at this point Vols fans deserve what they get for continuing to put up with this ****

I believe he is a good coach. His record reflects that. But with his record with the NCAA, I am perplexed a little with the hire. When Hamilton hired Martin he passed on Chris Mooney because of a very minor violation. What Tyndall apparently did makes Bruce's lie pale in comparison.

Again, we settle. We settle for a bargain coach. We settle because he's an easy sell to become coach. He wasn't at the top of the list. We had others before him and decided we couldn't do as a program what was necessary to make those deals happen. Tydall may prove to be the second coming of John Wooden, but until we got publicly shafted by the freaking LA Tech guy, he wasn't in the plans. For once, just one damn time, I would like to see someone with some gumption, some foresight, some moxie on the Hill to get things done.

Very well said. You get what you pay for, and we just bought another "up and coming" pile of crap from a 5th rate podunk school. That's all we ever do.

2 year probation, 1 scholarship, no post season ban....I wouldn't say it stung too bad.

So, you don't care that he committed major infractions either?

Hubbs

Brent needs to grow a set and embrace the chaos.

 

[MoreheadVol]

How did that probation he left you guys on work out for you?

? news to me. they havent been much of anything since he left. and if he had such a bad rep im sure he wouldnt have gotten a job elsewhere

Based on what I have read today, its shocking that Morehead got away with a slap on the wrist

 

[InVOLuntary]

100%

Parish and ESPN reported we reached out what? 45 minutes ago....now he accepts?

This has been in the works all day, just kept very quiet.

Sounds like White's side had to be leaking info

I guess my source was right all along. Sounds like he may have lucked into another one. Lol.

After hearing things began to fall apart with Michael White I started doing my research into Tyndall and the more I dig the more I like. That day in the life video was all I needed to see. but watching this video of harlem shake cracks me up, feel like hes the type of guy we need.

Holy crap, this guy looks like Terry Bowden and acts like Bruce Pearl. Lets hope he coaches like them. A total goofball--I like him.

Yeah, Southern Miss has never hired a guy with an interesting past before him, that's for sure

 

[Big Orange 98]

great hire

Just further enhances the notion that the NCAA had it out for Pearl. At least it seems that way.

 

[kentuckianavol]

The more i google and youtube the more i like the impending hire of donnie tyndall.... also before you read all of the posts people are saying about the terrible infractions he committed at morehead read this...

NCAAM NCAA puts Morehead St. on probation - ESPN

 

[Mullins2010]

What, you don't care that Tyndall committed major infractions at a previous stop?

If u ain't cheating..U ain't trying

 

[therealitytheory]

I hope Hart knows where the black curtains are packed away because he's gonna need 'em big time.

We'll be lucky to average 12k next year and 10k in two years. Our arena is gonna look like Auburn's and Mississippi State's has over the last couple of years.

No.

So, you don't care that he committed major infractions either?

Most have, some have been caught. He hasn't had any problems at Southern Miss so I'm honestly not too concerned.

What, you don't care that Tyndall committed major infractions at a previous stop?

Sounds like you care enough (way too much)...for both of us :salute:

 

[Volball6]

This IS a serious question. It's one of the most important ways to be credible with this fan base. Probably more so than actually knowing how to coach.

Tyndall doesn't so much yell at the refs, but he is constantly in their ear as they go by, just little hints and reminders as the refs pass.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Dave Fart does it again

Very clever. I can tell you really thought it through. Nice balance of logic and passion. Solid post.

 

[calban]

So where's he going? Mizzou?

Ole Miss of course.

[utvol372]

Welcome aboard!

Half of the individuals trashing this hire would not be able to explain a 1-1-3 without the assistance of the internet to save their lives and yet have anointed themselves hoops experts.

 

[RockVol]

Honest question, please no sarcasm, but what kind of coach is he? Is he up tempo or slower? Great defense or high paced offense? Hyper or mello? Either way I'm 100% behind him and will support him and his teams as long as he is here. Go Vols!

 

[emainvol]

Sounds like you care enough (way too much)...for both of us :salute:

Damn straight.

 

[BasketVoller]

Anyone have any insight into his ability to recruit at UT?

 

[VOLnMiami]

I want a coach that wants us - sounds like Tyndall does.

Of course he does, the guy makes like $300,000 a year, He's gonna make a bunch more here....Hell I would love someplace else if they offered me millions.
