[SECProudUT]

You can remove John Chavis, it would cost UT over 3 million the first year if he even wanted to come back. His buyout of 1.7 million plus he makes around 1.3 million if memory serves me correctly.

 

[Burger]

Let's make this the news only thread.

 

[MustafaRasta]

You forgot to add the Lovie Smith suggestion.

 

[DD4ME]

IIRC 1 - B1G is Shoop

 

[gobraves101035]

Over half of these will never be contacted by Tennessee.

 

[Lefteye]

Anybody got Shoops buyout with Penn St.?

 

[BearCat204]

60% of these arent even considered rumored......seriously, Lance Thompson?

Lance has been a steady position coach for quite some time. He's also one hell of a recruiter with lots of SEC experience. I'm not saying he'd be the best DC, but the guy is by no means a scrub.

Rumors out of control.

 

[BigOrangeLoyalist]

I've heard the name Nate Woody mentioned as well.. I didn't recognize the name. He's the D coord at Appalachian State. Runs a 3-4...

 

[Voldirector11]

I heard that Saban was tired of all the toothless people in Alabama and is going to become the defensive coordinator at Tennessee because he said since he lost his boy toy to U-Gay that he is afraid that he will never win another game. Plus his wife ran off with Lane Kiffin and he can't bare the thought of having to marry a woman from Alabama with their beer belly hanging out of their shirt. But this just a rumor since everyone else has their two cents. Good day my friends. Sit back and watch as "Days of our Live" will happen before our eyes.

 

[mocfan]

It was reported that we reached out to Coach Tucker who was hired yesterday by Georgia as DC.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

I heard Luther Van Dam was coming in as DC from Minnesota State, but that we were also getting Michael "Dauber" Dybinski as special teams coach as part of the package.

 

[BearCat204]

Who reported that we reached out to Coach Tucker?

 

[Ut_Airade_Attack]

I loved that show way back in the day

I say, "Hire the man."

 

[landscapingvol]

It's quite clear nobody knows what is going on and that is exactly the way CBJ wants it to be

 

[OakRidgeVol]

I heard Luther Van Dam was coming in as DC from Minnesota State, but that we were also getting Michael "Dauber" Dybinski as special teams coach as part of the package.

That is an apocryphal rumor. They would never abandon Coach like that.

 

[Chilmonty]

Narrowed down to these 3:

Lovie Smith - Rumored, Now follows me on twitter so he is a lock!
Wade Phillips - Rumored
Romeo Crennel - Rumored




.

 

[Vol_til_I_die]

Who reported that we reached out to Coach Tucker?

Coach Tucker's agent

 

[Vol_til_I_die]

I loved that show way back in the day

I still watch it on Netflix every now and then.

 

[ddubb76]

Maybe Dan brooks of Clemson after the game


More in line of the way UT does things

 

[volmanbill]

A field stating source of said rumors would be relevant.
