You have to admit. The amount of effort White is putting into this “No Leak” policy is quite ridiculous. If they put half the effort in finding a great coach as they do secrecy/misdirection then it would for sure be home run hires.
And what's the benefit of saying that?I don’t think there’s anything wrong with saying. “We interviewed ‘said subject’ and they have declined.” Leave those egos at the door.
I would much rather have every sportscaster in town say “breaking news” 20 times a day and be wrong, than to have leaked information about every coach that turns us down. That has been the problem in the past. That’s why we have been the laughing stock of Universities.You have to admit. The amount of effort White is putting into this “No Leak” policy is quite ridiculous. If they put half the effort in finding a great coach as they do secrecy/misdirection then it would for sure be home run hires. It’s also pretty childish and smug to do this in 2021. I understand there has to be some confidential information but Auburn and other teams did not do this mess. You’d have less problems just giving a little information like normal administrations. JMO
Whoever thinks the Shiano hire leaking wasn’t a good thing I really have to question your mindset . I know Pruitt was a disaster but Shiano would have been a horrible 3 years also. The point I’m making is Tennessee fans are desperate and battered to death! You want us back in seats? Throw us a bone every now and then. Make some good PR videos, get us excited again and include us a little. We’re not asking to be insiders. Shutting the fans out is how we’ve gotten to where we are now.
If asked by the media, “hey did you interview Scott Satterfield?” there’s nothing wrong with (yes that’s right) telling the truth. Bro this is College football! They kind of signed up for that. Comparing this to our regular jobs and girlfriends is foolish..And what's the benefit of saying that?
If you're looking for a new job, do you add to your resume every interview you had that didn't lead to an offer ?
Or when asking for date, do you proclaim all of the rejections you had before?
Throw you a bone huh? So you can piss and moan that it was flavored, wasnt big enough or it was a generic type instead of name brand?Whoever thinks the Shiano hire leaking wasn’t a good thing I really have to question your mindset .

Sounds like someone needs to leave his ego at the doorIf asked by the media, “hey did you interview Scott Satterfield?” there’s nothing wrong with (yes that’s right) telling the truth.

That’s all Volnation is these days. Mainly folks complaining. Am I wrong? I mean we haven’t had anything to brag about for 15 years. I’m happy with the JH hire. Do we need to check the estrogen levels in this thread today? Wow! Y’all bent over and out of shape on this one.Throw you a bone huh? So you can piss and moan that it was flavored, wasnt big enough or it was a generic type instead of name brand?
I disagree with the OP. The way people react to wild and unsubstantiated rumors is the very reason we DW needs to try to keep things close to the vest. I have no problem whatsoever with attempting to keep the rumors and innuendos to a minimum, although I recognize that's impossible for many.
They either like the offer or they don’t. We are kidding ourselves if we think these coaches have to time to sit around watching the news, checking headlines, trying to figure out how many people a university has interviewed before them. They don’t even have time to see their own families for Christ’s sake. Much less see what number in line they were on our call list.Agreed. The very fact that a rumor gets out can affect your negotiating position.
He’s given me 0 cause for complaint at this point. Very professional and apparently proactive.
I disagree with you. This is backwards logic. The only reason there are wild and unsubstantiated rumors is exactly because of the secrecy. In the absence of clear information people will invent their own.
If you say the truth and are transparent then people cant invent their own rumors.
Thank you! This is my point aslo. It’s what got us here.I disagree with you. This is backwards logic. The only reason there are wild and unsubstantiated rumors is exactly because of the secrecy. In the absence of clear information people will invent their own.

I dont know what any of that means in real terms.Do you have any reason to believe that any RELEVANT information will not be shared by leadership in a rational timeframe?
