BREAKING...Donnie Tyndall is the new Tennessee basketball coach

[tennrich1]

Tyndall is OK. White is the future star, in my opinion. Hart is just terrible at these searches.

Not sour grapes here at all...but if true all the "leaking" about the way White handled this I don't want him here....

 

[VolsSportsFan]

....nah. I'm good.


This basketball team is one less thing that will disappoint me. Football is enough unnecessary stress.

Catch y'all at the next coaching search.

Ok, if we win, don't come back.

 

[Manvol]

Boom.?

 

[bnhunt]

White was my first (legitimate) choice from the beginning and Tyndall doesn't excite me at all. However, he's the HC now, so everyone should give him a chance (no petitions) when we start 6-4 next season.

 

[JohnMarxism]

It's a good thing our fans don't conduct coaching searches. UT's AD would have been bankrupt a long time ago.

I believed this during the last football hiring process. So much truth to it.

 

[Honky]

Glad the coaching search is over with... Now... time for damage control...

 

[bleedingTNorange]

So where's he going? Mizzou?

NEXT YEAR. He will be at LT this year.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I wonder how long before criticism is not allowed and the "get behind the coach" crowd starts making every excuse in the book.

Depends, is the criticism going to start tomorrow.

 

[Headfootballcoach]

Does what again? Hire a good coach? This is his second hire and butch jones is working out so far...

He replaced Pat with Holly. Not sold on that one.

Any chance we'll incorporate "Tyndall Town" for those who watched the Harlem Shake video (above the student section)? I like it.

 

[PennVol]

Regardless of how these hires work out, Hart somehow makes Hambone look like a Navy seal when it comes to these searches.

 

[ka3ky5ko8]

White was leaking info to put pressure on Hart to cave into his demands...Hart didnt cave and played hardball...he must've weighed his options and thought better of it...
Hamilton would've caved and we would've had a $5 million buyout the last 3 years...

Ding ding ding! We have a winnah!

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

I'm sorry but WHO?

Rickey Tidwell d-mmit.

Go Vols. ETP.

 

[jmkvols]

What are the odds Hart didn't give White the buyout he wanted because of the fact so much leaked?

I read an article that stated White had 4 starters returning next year and that he is an alumnus of Ole Miss where the coaching situation is shaky. That the buy out was maybe too large in his offer. Truth? Possible?

 

[volfanCLT]

Depends, is the criticism going to start tomorrow.

It'll start the moment someone doesn't like his tie at the opening press conference. This is Tennessee.

 

[GOVOLS 1]

Some of you "fans" amaze me

 

[DownTheField]

Stuff like this is why our fan base is so terrible.

Our fan base is amazing. You shouldn't let dumb comments dictate to you the makeup of our fan base.

 

[87Vol]

How low do we have to sink, before somebody rids us of this garbage administration. Booger eater ButtCheek and Hart need to be sent a moving van.

Man we might as well rehire O'Neil, Green or Buzz, as to hire this goober.

 

[BigSteve09]

Glad to have him.

 

[Unimane]

Not sour grapes here at all...but if true all the "leaking" about the way White handled this I don't want him here....

Why? Who cares about any of that crap except that he's a good coach? The only reason that Hart didn't like it, probably, was because they prefer coaches who know who the boss is. We weren't getting any alpha types who might deign to be big time egos like a Pitino or Calipari.

 

[Velo Vol]

Meh.

 

[Orange And Garnet]

I want a coach that wants us - sounds like Tyndall does.

This. Butch wants to be here and loves it. Embraces it. I hope Tyndall does the same

That's the spirit.

All fan bases have idiots. more fans = more idiots

Irony.
