Tennessee Sports ‏@SportsNewsTN
'Rough crowd' at Tony Basilio's remote says if #Strong is not on the plane, bring it back empty - leave #GatorCheek & #BamaDave there too.

UT fans are crazy sometimes. I love all UT fans but some are just....

did it ever land?

What i just heard on the radio (Fox Chattanooga) was that the hang up is one of the coach's that Strong wants to bring with him. Sorry, don't remember name but they said UT does not want him near the program because he could get us in NCAA trouble. Said Strong wants him and that is the sticking point. Has anyone else heard this?

did it ever land?

looks like it turned back around

I don't think you guys realize that if Strong falls through UT will be down to the bottom of the list and wind up with another unproven coach. We should all be praying this happens.

If strong does not fall through, we will still be at the bottom of the list.

according to that the UT plane is on its way back to knoxville, guess we will know soon if it's empty or if UT made this happen

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.

It's starting to look like you need a new guy, with all the strong is staying put stories

in Louisville? I don't think so

 

[GatorBill]

[edit] is that Elizibethtown???

Also, I guess the bowtie at the top could be a landing and takeoff.

I just figured it would state the airport that it had landed at.....but could be wrong. It's been a long time since Ive paid attention to a coaching search. lol:

Coach in question that they are saying UT does not want with Strong is Clint Hurtt

 

[mcompton]

Has he signed a MOU...BTW, what's a MOU?

you're right. If you switch the map to the aviation view, the plane never made it louisville, looks like it was 5 mins out and just turned around..

not good news at all.

Falls through? I thought it was done already....

So does that make you and the other guys on the Strong train OSs then.....

Like the OGs in the Gruden thread?

 

[Volstylexx]

Before you guys all trash me...

Basilio post

'Tony, i was told a few minutes ago, the biggest problem here is Strong doesn't have a agent and it shows. I have confirmation he did give us every indication he was taking the job. He did backtrack, and i was told he's really torn on what to do. Hart better get it done, him and all of his ****ty information and knowledge that nobody else has.'

Whoever is flying that plane needs to lay off the sauce

Its a 1969 model Cessna 401 from an aerial Survey company. Doesn't seem to be what UT would use.

 

[KappinSpaulding]

in Louisville? I don't think so

It didn't go far enough north. Off site meeting maybe?

[philly1972]

Would they even leave knoxville if they weren't sure? Just make a phone call!
