He bungled it and the boosters don't trust him anymore as a result. He's probably safe as long as Plowman is around. But if something happens to her...

That’s crazy talk. If any boosters are out after 4 months on the job, then we just need to fold up shop and quit fielding teams. He was a home run hire at AD. We got serious arrogant assholes if that’s the case. No one would make them happy.

"Attention should turn to Jim Schlossnagle and Tony Vitello. Schlossnagle's success at TCU has been well documented. Hiring Vitello would be like hiring a Lincoln Riley-type at Oklahoma. He's hard-nosed and very energetic. I would not expect the coaching search to get past those two names. I would be shocked if it weren't one of those two."

Which coaching search was Kendall referencing? TAMU or LSU? This sounds like TAMU.

I just hope DW, the admin, and boosters have had the foresight that this was coming and aren’t scrambling at this point. Fans have seen this coming for a very long time and have been very vocal about it.

You would think that’s the case, but then again, this is UT.

Last sentence, yeah, that’s a thing.

The past 15 years have proven to me that our administration is typically 2 steps behind where they need to be at all times. Fans have seen this coming. Heck you’ve had college baseball writers writing daily articles about it for months. But….wouldn’t surprise me if our admin didn’t think it possible.

This is their chance to prove me wrong.

You know what I want see in my lifetime? A coach stand up and say no thank you big $$$. It's not just about money to me. My current job is going to take care of me and my staff. We're building something special here.

All CTV has asked for is that commitment, more importantly he and his staff have earned it.

Kendall Rogers write up on CTV concerning the LSU job.......he also had similar "glowing" writeups on O'Sullivan, Godwin, Schlossnagle, and Jarret from Notre Dame.

Tony Vitello, Tennessee

He’s the hottest commodity in college baseball right now. Vitello, 42, has worked wonders during his short tenure at Tennessee. In addition to guiding the Volunteers to an NCAA tournament appearance in his second season with the program, he was on track to do the same last season (15-2) before the season was shuttered because of COVID-19. This spring, Vitello is continuing to work wonders, as the Volunteers had a terrific campaign and are in line to get a top-eight national seed. In addition to being a hard-nosed competitor whom his players fight hard for, Vitello is considered to be one of the nation’s elite recruiters. He’s the son of a highly successful high school baseball coach, and he knows all the intricate details needed to make any program successful. LSU might have to fight off Texas A&M to get Vitello, depending on which direction A&M athletic director Ross Bjork goes with his search.

Hopefully TN will fight both of them off. Anything less would put DW in poor favor before he even gets started.

Poor favor? There will be literally nothing he could do to earn back my trust. We all know the Heupel experiment ain't going to result in an SEC championship, so let TV walk and DW is toast in my eyes. A glorified figurehead is all he'll be.

It will be worse than that too.

For what it's worth, there's chatter on the LSU message boards that former players have been told that O'Sullivan is on the way.

Take it with a huge grain a salt, because rumors are flying. But definitely good news for us if true.

I agree that I was kind with the poor favor. DW needs to show that he is the fundraiser that many claim he is and find a way to make this deal happen.

I think I'm more worried about TAMU than LSU, but this would be a good first step.

Now why on earth, seriously, why would he leave UF? Just asking?

TIFWIW, it's from a message board with lots of insiders, just like VN

I’m told former players of Skip’s era have been told Kevin is coming

KoS has kids and a baby momma in LA. He also wants to be at a place where the fans care as much as they do at LSU

The guy I spoke to is closely connected

Working on a second source now


ETA: multiple sources confirmed. If this isn’t true then it is a very elaborate ruse.
