Not leaving unless he gets a DC or HC job. Not worried at all. JMO

He may feel dis respected due to being seriously considered for the D.C. position. He may have been granted an interview but wasn't taken seriously.

 

[Tenacguy50]

Definitely...Gotta keep him

 

[volfan4evr]

He's already Asst. head coach, and he just got a raise. IIRC

^beat me to it

I thought he already was?

 

[YankeeVol]

He's not goIng anywhere

 

[GBOVOLS]

The guy is a great guy but no one is bigger than the program. If he leaves we will miss him but UT football will survive. A raise and promotion is offered because of good work not loyalty.

 

[Spartacavolus]

He's not go

ok tonto

 

[zach0105]

He's not go

Just terrific sentence structure there.

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

He's not go

Tarzan?

 

[Tux]

Lance is making the neighborhood of $600K I believe. South Carolina or any other school will not top that unless they make him the DC.

 

[JAEvans24]

He will be on the UT side line next year.

 

[VolWorld]

USC won't match his money, Lance doesn't want to leave his kids. Don't bet on this happening.

well if he got the raise and title...then not too concerned unless he gets offered DC somewhere else, and if so good luck to him!

 

[PennVol]

Just have the feeling that Lance didn't want the DC position. Just me though.

 

[Volsfan4243]

I think Hart may have wanted Sunseri. He is more familiar with him than Thompson. I think LT could be a viable DC candiddate. I wish they would have at least interviewed him. Just remember, Dooley didn't hire Thompson. He was hired by Kiffin.

 

[Los-Osis]

bones never lie

 

[jim285pro]

Hes not going to pump gas in South Carolina...trust me.

 

[VolWorld]

If Lance leaves it would be for a DC job, such as Maryland. He may be a candidate there, but even still not sure he would leave.

I can't find anywhere on here about asst head coach? So is he for sure asst head coach now, and they have just not listed it yet?...

The guy already gets a raise every time he walks toward his car.

Some guys are fine rolling as position coaches. Others become successful coordinators. Others take a stab at a coordinator position and regret it immediately.

LT likes what he does.

I agree. He's already had an opportunity as a DC, maybe he didn't like the responsibility.
