Shoop confirmed on campus

Love to see a couch burning today...

Just the usual, excitement, anticipation, fussing, mixed in with a few meltdowns.

Good too see everything is normal. Ha

Here's an interesting factoid. If/when Shoop's arrival becomes official, three of the nine assistant coaches working for Butch will have been head coaches themselves, however briefly:

DeBord (CMU, '00-'03)
Shoop (Columbia, '03-'05)
Scott (Miami, Oct-Dec '15, interim)

That's the offensive and defensive coordinators, plus the TE/?? coach.

Can't think of any college coach in America with more assistants who have experience at the top level. Says a lot that they're all willing to work for him. Makes him a "coaches' coach," imho.

Not a bad job of building up the talent for a dynasty. Butch's recruiting skills aren't confined to the player ranks.

That's a trend I'm seeing a lot of...I think have of Durkin's staff at Maryland have been head coaches..you can make a decent living as a coordinator

Let the games begin!

I believe I saw it mentioned that his son is a walk on WR at PSU?

I wonder what his options will be? I don't know much about walk-ons transferring, but I can imagine JF being a total tool if Shoop bails on him and likely seals his fate as HC.

Wait he has another level of toolishness?

Thought that was Bama

Maybe Shoop is going to walk out at halftime at the game today? Lol

CBJ decides when to announce.

Someone says CBS going home to talk it over with family.

People don't know if it's done or not.

CBJ says it's time to announce.

All makes perfect sense to me.

From one of the VQ mods:

"I don't know how it's a positive sign if he heads back today without signing anything. He wants to talk to his family about it so we will see what comes of it. I think there probably isn't as much confidence about this happening as there was yesterday. But, I don't think it's dead or anything like that."

If Coach Jones negotiated this hire before letting go of Coach Jancek, he certainly is observing delicate formalities.

@footballscoop - Heading to airport…from what I’m hearing…I think we’ll know later today whether Bob Shoop & UT will happen. Will update…

He can always transfer here if he wants. He just would have to sit out a year (wouldn't play anyway). And if Franklin wanted to be a major tool (so probably), he could try to cause him to lose a year of eligibility by banning him from transferring here, similar to Baker Mayfield. Franklin would not succeed though, as we're not in the same conference and don't play one another.

According to Twitter reports, Butch and Shoop spotted last night variously at Calhoun's, Cherokee Country Club, Fleming's, Cook Out and Gus's.

Busy night.

shame a Denton's catfish platter and Big Orange Drink would have sealed the deal

Gotcha, thanks!

fwiw...the guy that tweeted is headed to the airport, not Shoop...rest of tweet may be accurate, who knows.

From what I understand, Shoop was all in until they went to Gus's late last night. He was pissed this morning when he realized he had been drunk taxed the night before.

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

I think it would be mentioned and discussed more in sports media that day as part of the overall discussions about college football in general. I would have said it would take attention from the NC had that been my intent. I was not promoting that at all.

Wow you sure made a lot of assumptions by reading that post. I don't see anything remotely certain about it.

I laughed. I hadn't thought about that in years.

 

[RockyTop411]

its closed.

there likely won't be a PC. There was not when DeBord hired. I expect an announcement at some point but who knows when. Probably when Butch is comfortable.

he likes playing to fans emotions.

Just to reiterate.
