Derek Mason to South Carolina

[BigOrangeTrain]

SIAP but looks like it’s basically a done deal. Wish we had an AD that would make a great hire like that. Yet we are stuck with Ansley.

I like DM. I'm glad he's still in the SEC

 

[SpookyAction]

Dedication to improvements. I'm very impressed.

 

[TJVol95]

Meanwhile we suck!

[tenascvol]

Haha
Usc lite beat vandy 41-7 and they hired Mason. No one here in Columbia is reporting it, but if so good for them. I’d stick with cornbread over this dumpster fire. They went 2-8 and kept half the staff. We think it’s bad on the hill, you should hear the fans here.

Yea you know it’s funny.
Everyone wants to say Dooley was horrible, one of the worst UT coaches ever.

Yet On Dooleys staff was Ansley, who coached DB’s.. nobody back then said Ansley was so great.... in fact Ansley was part of Famous Sals horrible defense, worst at UT of all Time!

Now Ansley is back at UT As the DC, and he’s supposed to be some kind of guru all of a sudden... and we can all see he’s below average at best!!!

Fulmer will permanently kill this program if he isn’t pushed out ASAP.

Some programs are dedicated to getting better, and some want to save money

Some think they can live off the nostalgia of the past.... and use their loyal fan base as an ATM.

!st thing's first, The administration needs to give a damn about athletic (football) excellence. Because no matter who's the AD,very little will go right if the admin. doesn't care.

 

[Nasavol]

Mason is a good hire. Beamer, while not a sexy hire, is solid, he is no idiot.

 

[BreatheUT]

Mason to SC. Good. Hard pass for the Vols. Vandy's defense has been a sieve. Mason was so full of gimmicks at the end that he brought in a girl and Vandy fans wonder how far back he set their program, and that's saying something.

I’d rather make a run at Muschamp over Mason any day of the week. Just makes more sense given Pruitt and Muschamp’s personal friendship.

Also I wouldn’t say we are stuck with Ansley. NFL season ends tomorrow and he may have some suitors.

I don't think Ansley is going anywhere but a co-defensive coordinator would do him some good.

I think Kevin Steele is out there as well.

I think if Ansley leaves, its to go back to the pro's. Gruden and the Raiders have made and are making moves on defensive side of the ball.

I sorta hope Ansley does leave. The DC candidates out there are nice and I think Muschamp would likely come if even for a year or 2 with Pruitt coaching for his job given their personal relationship
