Might take that much for Peterson but not sure he was contacted.

They said sitting coach so no stoops or Peterson I would think

It seems Basilio's error is probably believing all the smoke screens.

If Danny White is using misinformation to smoke out the leaks in the AD office, we're going to hear a lot of things that simply aren't true. Totally made up. If Basilio is sweeping all those things into his basket and treating them ALL as true, he's going to end up with a laundry list of "failed offers."

In reality, White has been on the job coming up on three days now. Half of Friday, the weekend, and now 6 hours of Monday.

I think the truth is, he honed in on the top option very quickly, and has been at that top option ever since. I think there have been discussions with Backup Plan A and Backup Plan B, but of course those triggers wouldn't be pulled unless the first shot misses.

Meanwhile, maybe Basilio is caught up in the misinformation.

I don’t think so purely because he flat out says in his post (paraphrasing here) “lots of smoke and the media heads no nothing, including me”. So to say he’s caught up in the misinformation, I’d have to disagree with. I think he’s reporting what he’s heard, or at least what Orange Throat has heard. Similarly, it’s close to what Fumbles has shared. Making me wonder, could be the same source??

Edit:
I do agree I think White has zeroed in one target and making that guy say no. But that doesn’t mean others haven’t at least be talked to and they’ve said not interested, which is why I think his comment about lots of people saying no is more along interest than an offer.

Please don't lump me in with the conspiracy nut-job crowd. I was just answering a question. I spoke with some friends who attended the game, and they did not see him there.

I’m talking Volnation as a whole. Are you a Vol fan? I am too. That would make us both, conspiracy theorist, nut jobs as well!!
GBO!!

Could Stoerner be Basilio?

Neither of those coaches are coming out of retirement to takeover a Tennessee that's been down for a decade plus, and soon to be under NCAA sanctions to boot.

I sort of doubt Stoops wants to coach directly against his brother if he can help it.

 

[BondJamesBond]

See, $8M/year for 5 years doesn't even sound Campbell level to me. Campbell would come to Tennessee for, say, $5M/year. At most $6M/year.

No, $8M/year is a Bob Stoops level number.

To me, at least, that's how it seems.

I think that is the way this has to be analyzed. Who commands that kind of salary? Just as importantly, who commands that salary and might turn it down??That narrows the field substantially.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

I'll say it again, Campbell is making 3.5 now, and he is not one that chases dollar signs. he leaves that to the agent. IF he wanted it... that is a HUGE IF... he would do it for as little as 4.5 i bet, but the agent would go high, and you would wind up around 5 is my guess.

40m over 7 years or just under 6m per year is what SF is posting.

He doesn’t have an agent. I think he manages himself

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

That would make sense, as to why he would come at a lower cost, but I know he has made it a point to make money the last priority to a job.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

No. He has explained his connection.

To get him here would cost more IMO.

 

[bleedorange9995]

Yeah but doesn’t explain who he is, Basilio been spot on too,

2) what if the reason the money is so much is because of the buyout?

I think that was reported here...assuming its true that would make sense

 

[bleedorange9995]

Which puts it close to being Cristobal which has a 8 million buyout

 

[BondJamesBond]

You'd think people would get tired of slinging around baseless out of nowhere rumors and reacting like methheads everytime a crumb of dried up glue hits the table , but they eat it up like a bunch of drunks playing Tonk for the 100th time.

Impressive use of similies. h/t

I think every media person is in the dark until it breaks.

Take a look at Basilio’s new blog post. He claims we’ve offered a nice sum to a few coaches, all have said no. He also said several others said no, but I took that as “not interested” instead of no to an offer. Claims the plane was also in Myrtle Beach (Chadwell) over the weekend, but not sure how true that is. He did make it seem like a hire would be soon. However, it worries me at the pessimism I get from the blog when it comes to people saying no.

Hopefully we hear something today or @Stoerner Fumbles has an update by mid-morning. Fingers crossed we get this right. I’m tired of drinking to drain my sorrows on Saturdays in the fall, I need celebratory drinking back!

No coach is offered the job unless they are going to say yes.

 

[bleedorange9995]

I believe we have the coach and he has said yes

 

[Mightyvol]

From my perspective, based on DW’s short introduction speech, he will go after a coach who wants to be challenged. An offensive innovator who wins with less and who has high standards for himself and players. A fierce competitor who hates to lose and doesn’t play favorites. To me this screams Campbell. I have no idea if they can get him, but at UT he could win a NC. Interested to see who he lands but I would bait the line with conference and NC challenges verses money to hook Campbell.

It’s factored in according to SF.

So which coaches has the big buyouts?

Dykes and Elliott hasn’t been contacted, Fleck won’t get interviewed, who was the other one vetted? Franklin

Exactly.
