If he waits until the championship game won't the game overshadow the announcement? I could see a press release coming this weekend instead of Monday. Jmo of course :)

Yes, of course the game will overshadow any announcement. But it will be listed the whole game and talked about probably very briefly with the whole country watching. If you announce it on another day, no one is watching and people don't care.

You would think posters would have learned to relax a little more given all the turnover in recent years.

Nothing is ever done until the official announcement is made from the school so why get worked up over it?

Yup.
And your screen name just makes the post better lol.

Or he wants to exit with class and tell people face to face (like his boss, coordinators, players, etc)

That's fair. I'm just saying I'd personally feel better about it if it were done/signed before he went back. But you are right - that'd be the right thing to do on his part.

LWSVol, do you have confirmation that Shoop actually SIGNED something or is this just a good ole boy handshake deal? Because him getting before Franklin and PSU likely offering a raise on the spot to keep him doesn't make me feel too confident. Appreciate all the info you bring!

Franklin needs Shoop bad. Hence the recent pay raise and large buyout. Look at the defensive rankings for Shoop and offensive rankings for Franklin since these guys have been together and tell me I'm wrong.

Maybe Shoop is smart enough to get off a sinking ship. The only worry I have is Shoop may go back and PSU may fire JF and promote BS.

If LWS (or anyone else with inside access) had that information, they certainly shouldn't/wouldn't tell publicly. Because that would completely undermine UT's efforts to give Shoop a chance to tell fellow cadre, family and players before the rest of the world knows.

The interesting thing is timing between the UT announcement and Shoop meeting with his players (assuming Franklin allows that meeting). Would think Tennessee would prefer to have the two events timed pretty close together; because once PSU's players know, the world will very quickly know.

I have a buddy that said he was reading that an introduction may be made at the basketball game today. No inside info or anything, just what he told me. He pays for VQ, so he may have read it there. I don't know.

Shoop has only talked to LSU. IMO he is just going back to say goodbye in person like a man. We may hate JF, but JF gave Shoop his first big break.

Good point. I just keep wondering whether UT will really pay his $800k buyout and give him significant pay raise. It would be extremely out of character for Hart and co.

No one knows that it has not been signed.

Hart was forced to save to build reserve, now he is upgrading.

Why would he stay at PSU?

He much prefers the SEC. They lost their QB. They Lost 3 talented players on defense. Only one returning starters on defense. He will get a raise coming here. Offense is garbage and has new OC. PSU’s schedule next year is significantly tougher. Franklins record is going to be worse next year. Likely no bowl game.

As for LSU and Auburn, Only aTm is more unstable in this conference. Those could be or have been one-year positions.

He’s saying goodbye face-to-face to Franklin and his players. Appreciate that.

He’s coming.

I hope he's on a damn jet then if he's going to get back from College Station that fast!

I agree with what many have said, Butch is a good dude and I think he would respect BS wanting to go home and tell everyone face to face. That is the way it should be done

LWS said it was a done deal. I believe that. I consider him a source almost like Fingers. Use logic folks, why would he still be here right now to hang out with the coaches to get a raise.

I mean a flight from Knoxville to College station only takes an hour or so. Who knows. I don't think the introduction will take place today, but from a logistical standpoint, it's entirely possible.

He is from Pennsylvania.

He has been with Franklin for years now.

There is no guarantee as of yet how much the Vols offered.

Unless he were a full-on cretin, he would have to leave temporarily.

Should be man enough to tell Franklin face to face.

Should be thoughtful enough to tell his players face to face, give them a chance to ask the inevitable questions.

Should have the family talk in the living room so that the kids feel they were consulted before being dragged across the country again.

It's just the right thing to do, him heading back up to PA one more time.

This I agree with. Plus he has to get his playbook.
