Shoop confirmed on campus

Unless they have blocked the tail number, no planes have left Knox for anywhere in Pennsylvania today
 
Blocking the N-number is very common and probably done as often as not.

The fact that they didn't do so when they flew him down makes me think that they wanted the info to get out. As others have mentioned, especially Larry, Butch likes to control the flow of info and is pretty dang good at it.

@Goat, hey, happy to help. I'm still sort of surprised how the news (well, the apparent confirmations) was spread over multiple threads. It definitely snuck up on me.
 
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. :)

No offense to Debord but nobody was rolling out the red carpet for a guy who was 3 years removed from football altogether. He wasn't press conference worthy at the time. I would think Shoop probably is, no?
 
His youngest son is a JR at State College HS and as you say, the oldest is already on the Penn St squad, would Butch offer either kid a scholly? One would think if the parent is making $1 mil a year that wouldn't matter, but to some it matters pride wise as not being a walk on.

They don't need to...children of coaches have their tuition covered. Zak Zancek and Butch's boy this past year.

Apparently no planes have left from Knoxville to Pennsyalvania today according to multiple people on Twitter and 247. Maybe Shoop got a connecting flight home??

James Franklin took a flight down to Knoxville and kidnapped Shoop from keeping him going to Tennessee.

I like whoever said when UT wears white the defense will be the Shooptroopers. Or was it stormshoopers?

Imagine if we had him on 4th and 14 vs. Florida. Even if he makes a bad call, Shooperman could just spin the earth backwards to go back and change the defense.

I really don't know how good of a DC he would be for UT, but come on - he's worth the money just for all the things we can do with his name. I mean.... Jancek vs. Shoop, no contest. His name will be absolutely shooperb for this board.
 
Losing his QB, 10 starters on D, his OC and his DC may mean Franklin can return to Vandy as an assistant to Mason.
