WATE Reporting New Coach Announced Tomorrow. [unconfirmed]

[NEVolFan]

My sources say Jeff franklin and it is a 4 year 28 million NOT including incentives

Makes sense, maybe he's onto something with that hire...

Will run the FullHouse backfield.

I am hearing 1 pm and Leach

Welcome to Knoxville Coach Petersen...

I can only hope and pray.

Nothing about this their website.

Understood. This was from the News broadcast going on right now. They seem to have some real info about the event; but, were just as in the dark as us as to who.

I wish we had a link, so there would be more than just a poster quoting a TV.
No offense to the OP, but stuff like this gets posted all the time in a coaching search.

And, did they say a coach WILL be announced tomorrow, and not just COULD or MAY?

 

[volsteel]

Just praying it's not another Forrest Gump of coaching type of guy!

 

[Volteacher]

Is Jeff ben’s boy? Never heard of him

He is James franklin's younger more talented brother. Where have you guys been?? Never heard of him that is on you.....

Mullen will do no better than 3rd place.

BS

Better announce it now, before he changes his mind.

Heck new coach is probably even more excited after watching this garbage staff, He and his staff will look like The Real Best Staff in America.

They didn't seem 100% but seemed to be breaking the news that there would be an announcement tomorrow with the new coach. Almost as if they were still trying to gather info as well. I'll guarantee others on here heard it.

LOL....Mike Leach? Walking on the wild side. I hope he brings his own recruits because he will have to stand at the end of a long line of SEC coaches.

 

[Cartervol]

Had a buddy say Leach earlier. I just can't see it.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Praying for Petersen. Will be matter of factly unexcited and not surprised if it's leach.

 

[KBVol]

Nobody gives a flying ****

 

[fundamentals83]

BS

Their reporting may be BS but I can assure you, they reported that there will be a UT coaching announcement tomorrow.

Jerry Sandusky has been awarded work-release.

 

[Remy]

I hope it is not Leach. If it is prepare to see a UT that will intentionally play no defense.

More than likely they were ritterating the report that talked about the clean up crew being told to get it clean immediately after the game and the OP thought they were saying there will be an announcement tomorrow.

Welcome to Knoxville Coach Petersen...

Wouldn't that be awesome! Instant HOPE!

 

[slobberknocker]

Anybody else see it on WATE? I apologize to OP if wrong, but I think that's BS.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Welcome to Knoxville Coach Petersen...

Bingo

 

[JFBanicki]

If it’s leach then I will not watch another game nor buy anything UT until he is fired in 3-4 years and even then we would need a new AD, one that knows what a good coach is.
