Shoop confirmed on campus

BREAKING: Tennessee has hired former Penn State DC Bob Shoop as Defensive Coordinator.

Senior Writer at GoVols247, covering Vols for 247Sports/Knoxville News Sentinel. Contributor at WBIR-TV. Paddy rock expert. My parents' third favorite mistake.

This is what was posted on a penn st fan forum FWIW makes m feel better but you never know. I always see the glass as half empty.
I'm thinking CBJ and team so far have been really good with PR. It would not surprise me to see it formally announced either just before or during Monday Night's NC game. Lots of free national buzz.

It would get swallowed up.

You think the announcement of UT hiring a new DC during the NC game and would take attention away from the NC game?

Listening to TonyB's show from yesterday, and they are convinced Shoop's been hired, and there is some good nuggets of info being shared:

The Tony Basilio Show

What I like especially is the mention that Shoop is a great recruiter. Chavis sucked at recruiting, himself. Janzek was probably average at best. Seems like an upgrade all the way around.

After reading 57 pages of this, I have a conclusion:

Shoop has been hired. He has been talking to Butch since Dec and everything was agreed upon in principle, this is why Jancek was let go. He came to Knoxville today to sign the deal.

Everyone here is a fan of Blazing Saddles.

Some of you here are awaiting a call to Freak's office.

And lastly, because of the past, we are nervous about our future.

Thanks for taking my call, I'll hang up and listen.

Psh! 50 posts per page FTW!

I thought I would share someone's opinion from SB Nation's Penn St. site on Shoop's possible departure ..

A move to Rocky Top is a step down. Lesser program, lesser job. Easier to recruit given how poor of a school Tennessee is.
