It's Done - Strong will be announced [unconfirmed]

[DaddyChad]

I could have told you that, oh wait .... I did

But we were still conducting interviews when you said it was a done deal. In other words, you're fos or your source is.

Actually there have been no interviews since I posted this. Fedora didn't interview today. I wonder why?

 

[MFL]

This is not a dump truck hire like Ark but we got no choice but to throw in and hope for the best. Tennessee is not any more appealing than Vandy now. Giving away season tickets and no donation. Ready for recruiting to see what happens.

Heard also, not from CL, that he planned on keeping most of offensive staff.

I think that would be minus Chaney as he's interviewing.

Charlie strong is not the coach for the long term success of Tennessee football. Mark it down and quote me on this. Bad hire.

 

[volmiteer]

Take this to cliffs notes my man, I got your back!

I dont know how, I can barely type. I just like to read these forums.:good!:

Chris Lowe on espnu said Strong today/ tomorrow will be named for UT.

link?

In his defense O_C....he was talking bout me but just left some letters off....your a quality poster but we just have differing opinions....which is awesome....would be a dull board if we all agreed

I agree, and likewise, sir. :hi:

(And thanks. )

 

[HankHill]

Looks like Strong to the Vols, Like this hire too

tifwiw

 

[Weee'rre Baaccckk]

I hope so

He did have some good defenses down there with those nasty swamp lizards.

Well thank all the Grudenites and others that got impatient that helped feed the fire that got us into this situation. Don't understand why so many people couldn't see how all the job openings would effect us.

I really am not feeling good about the outcome and future of the program. And I'm the one that saw all the good stuff when Dooley was here so I'm really good at looking at the bright side of things. I hope Hart surprises me with whomever he gets cause I'm on the fence with him right now.

You guys crack me up....Would you feel better if we hired Strong after he goes 11-1 or 12-0 next year. This dude has been a DC at FLorida and USCjr. Was nominated 3 times as assistant head coach of the year. Urban retained him after he took the FL job. He has excellent recruiting ties in the southeast. If he brings in a top notch OC we could have a really quick turn around.

 

[UTHorsey]

According to wikipedia, he's already our HC... lulz.

[TNBV]

This really sucks. Now we know Hart sucks too. Fire him!

Go away.

 

[Rockytop1018]

My guy at UT says it's a done deal, will be announced Wednesday. Expects it to be around $3.75 mil a year.

I personally don't agree with this hire. Not impressed with what he's done at Louisville in a weak Big East. Others will disagree, say he's a great recruiter. I'm not sold.

But I do know it's a step up from Dooley.

Good call.

Then why did Fla hire an unproven assistant coach over him?

 

[yrock777]

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Vol4Real]

Yessssss!!!!!!!!

Legit question. I think it was a year early. I know its the Big East but dude just won that league with a QB playing on one leg.

 

[jacklikesbeans]

Very awesome!

 

[Kid Deezy]

This is my nightmare - YouTube

 

[AZVOLSFAN]

I loved the defense he had this year during the Syracuse game...they only allowed 45 points. AWESOME!

 

[GatorBill]

I wanted him at UF instead of Muschamp, and then I was content to let Muschamp fail so we could bring Chuck in...but apparently ol' Will is going to work out.

 

[Volfan8282]

How are people getting excited by a potential hire like this? This is baffling.
