The only caveat with that is both of the head coaches are exactly on solid footing these days, where as CBJ is probably only behind Freeze and Saban in the solid footing category... That is a huge factor, but 1 recruits should also recognize...

Didn't stop Aranda from signing up with LSU. Great hire by LSU. Don't find a way to demean the hiring of Shoop. TN fans rationalize too much. We had to rationalize 10yrs of putrid football I get it, but now is the time to stop. Shoop, possibly, chooses TN over auburn and lsu. We don't take a backseat to nobody. We fell down, in the mud isn't our place though

Personally I think it has been Shoop all along and he was offered and accepted before CBJ and CJJ had their "sit down". Butch is smarter than a lot will give him credit for and if it works out like I believe it will this will be a very very smart move.

Have you ever read the book "The System"? It's an in depth look at what goes on behind the scenes at big time college football programs.

You really should.

Not only is there a whole chapter devoted to UT (and it isn't pretty), but there are multiple little references to (and I'm paraphrasing) how coaching is a small fraternity and schools are often looked down on when they are trying to fill spots that aren't officially open yet. In fact, one of the anecdotes was about how Hamilton had contacted Mike Leach's agent in 2008, and Leach's agent wouldn't even discuss if there was any interest without the job being vacant (if memory serves).

Maybe I am alone, but I just don't think there is a great and powerful Oz hiding behind the curtain, and pulling all of the strings, of every decision made in college sports. While 24/7 sports coverage needs something to talk about, and these sorts of ideas take root in that vacuum, I tend to prefer Occam's Razor. The simplest solution is often correct.

So we get Shoop and we lose Thig and Martinez?


@TonyBasilio @VolRumorMill Shoop, Gattis, and Haslet. Thig and Willie M gone.. Latest buzz on these Vol boards.

If Shoop is in, then it's not surprising at all that he will bring his own guys. Thig will just be an innocent casualty.

We're talking about Jim Haslett here. He's not just bringing his own guys. It sounds like Butch is really going for that "Best Staff in the Country" claim

Would explain why their recruiting has dropped off so dramatically
