Michael White (La Tech)

A source is telling me that Mike White will be the next coach at Tennessee. Things can change, but he looks like the guy.

We are checking and digging. The hang up with White since late last has been buyout numbers. We are searching to see if something has changed in the last few hours.

That makes it definitely sound like he's got the offer, and things could get done soon.

I think at this point, if it isn't White, there will be a lot of disappointed people.

What buyout could possibly be so ridiculous that Hart is trying to negotiate it? What's the guy want, 2 mil?

Probably wants similar to what Zo had in his initial contract 60% of salary remaining.

If we hire this guy and he had a child would it be appropriate for him to name the child "Orange"? You know, Kiffin style?

 

[TechnoVol]

Important question... If we hire CMW, does he prefer Michael or Mike?

That doesn't seem unreasonable.

middle name "N"!

Of course if he leaves for USC, he will disavow any influence Knoxville had on his kid's name.

He has a new contract that it's $600k according to LT beat writer

Heisenberg?

That is the number. He signed a new contract for 3.6 million over 6 years is what I have read on multi reports.

Here's another thing to consider. At La-Tech, there isn't much pressure with the fan base/media or probably at the school to really succeed.

Imagine you traveled in a van, but you did some things to make it "pimp". After awhile, yeah you want to move up.

Do you go for an RV where you can settle in and enjoy life on the road a bit? You'll stand out more, but you'll still have your privacy. You'll get the handle on a much bigger vehicle.

Or do you go for the major bus? And the free hotel lodging? But with eyes whenever you have to change a tire?

Jumping to a van to a major bus is a huge learning curve. I personally don't have time to go on a bus ride if we get a bunch of flat tires down the line.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??? hmy: :crazy:

My bad, you're correct. La Tech gave him a new contract in 2013 and another contract in 2014. And he's still going to leave them.

Wouldn't guarantee that just yet

I wonder if Rommel saw vans or RVs?

@Ben_Fred: Looking at some Michael White stats. Impressive: His teams have gone 23-6 in games decided by 6 points or fewer. 11-2 the past 2 seasons.

Sort of an odd place to be if he is the new guy.
"White, who is on vacation with his family, has stayed out of the public eye since the Tennessee job opened up Tuesday."

Can he win a close game in Memorial Gym?

 

[Spartacavolus]

wonder if he calls timeouts after big shots late in those games or lets the team keep momentum. My guess is he doesn't zap his team.

Wonder if he pulls a player to settle him down after he hits a big three ball?
