[PaperTrail07]

[Louisvillekid1]

Just called friends from u of l, seems like a done deal but might not be announced till after bowl.

i was just listening to the radio, and there are leaks its Strong definatley #1 choice now, but not sure he has accepted anything yet

(but im sure he will if offered the job)

it will be announced soon one way or another....

im tired of listening to all the coaching talk here wish some1 would get hired asap...

[balls2wall]

5 years 3.7 or 3.75 mil per year

Not announcing anything tonight because Phil Fulmer is being inducted into the Hall of Fame tonight.

That is what they are saying on Nashville radio this afternoon. Nothing official, but that is what they are saying.

A guy called in from the road in KY and that is what the local KY radio station was reporting. Other people were calling in saying they talked to people in KY saying the same thing.

Vols lose their whole entire redneck fan base with this hire

[balls2wall]

Vols lose their whole entire redneck fan base with this hire

please explain even though I know where you are going

what an ignorant statement

[5mike5]

Vols lose their whole entire redneck fan base with this hire

not true and ignorant statement (not suprising)

alot of the fans here wanted him as coach

besides Gruden, he was #1 fan choice by far

[Louisvillekid1]

I know some of the fan base will be unhappy with a black coach, ie wade Houston

[doublej95]

please explain even though I know where you are going

what an ignorant statement

it's not an ignorant statement it's the ignorant fans of Tennessee. live around vol nation and you would know.

He was my guy behind Gruden

The "redneck" fan base seems to love Cuonzo Martin...

[5mike5]

i love morons who say thinbgs that are clueless

what do i know?...LOL

i just actually live in the town

[balls2wall]

it's not an ignorant statement it's the ignorant fans of Tennessee. live around vol nation and you would know.

I live south of Nashville and have been a Vol fan all my life and know tons of other fans. I don't know of any like you are talking about.

[doublej95]

try again

are you a redneck? I doubt it. you know the fans i'm talking about.

try the western north carolina fanbase.

[5mike5]

im a little redneck, just not a racist

there are dumb fans everywhere

but majority of fans want a good coaching hire, dont care what color he is

[zacharyj53]

I have been thinking he was going there from the start. He is a good coach and would recruit well there. I don't want him to go there as I would prefer Tenn and Auburn both stay down.

[balls2wall]

try the western north carolina fanbase.

It's cool man

If he is hired I doubt you will see a drop in ticket sales or attendance. I would expect to see the stadium full again for most games next year after a drop in attendance under Dooley.

[5mike5]

its a great hire

our last hire was dooley, enough said

this fanbase will be more than happy with strong

[5mike5]

hes a definatley 1 of the fan favs here to get the job

it will fire up the fanbase.....

much happier place to live when they arent terrible....

I didn't say it would hurt and it want it. will just disappoint some ignorant fans and I will actually get a kick out of it.

petrino homecoming?

strong badly wants to be coaching in the SEC and this is the perfect opportunity for him.

You are correct that some will not be happy with the hire and that is funny to see them suffer over something so stupid. I think the same could be said with pretty much every fan base in the country.

I re-read your initial statement and it read different from the first time. I initially thought you were saying the entire UT fan base, but now I see you are talking about one segment. No problem either way...

Won't happened, he already fukked over Tom Jurich once

Petrino wanted back in the SEC badly, but he got the cold shoulder.

I don't see how they can take him back. Didn't he leave them high and dry?

[5mike5]

he was the 1 guy who was mentioned earlythat had no chance at vol job either

[paranoyd androyd]

Won't happened, he already fukked over Tom Jurich once

yeah, kidding. so who's on the rumor radar?

[Louisvillekid1]

I hope Kirby smart

[5mike5]

I hope Kirby smart

great coach

[rkellyatrecess]

Taggert?

[paranoyd androyd]

I hope Kirby smart

that would be an unbelievable coup. apparently kirby will only leave bama for georgia once richt inevitably gets canned or will stay at bama until saban retires.

[Cuse0323]

Might be better off without him.

He does bring in talent though, which will hurt if he leaves but I don't think he's a great in-game coach.
