I'm not sure he's deceptive, he just doesn't disclose any info until things are done, which leaves others to just speculate and run on rumors

Oh no. He is deliberately deceptive.

Put out info that he flew up north this week while he really went to LA tech and had VQ run it.

A coaching search is a great time for an AD to test those he wants to trust. Leak info and see if it quickly comes out. Toss out random off the wall stuff to random people and you will quickly know who you can trust going forward.

Fair enough lol

All the usual sources were making it sound unlikely, Rucker, 247, Hubbs, VQ....but then some LT sounding like they thought he'd take it...had me wondering if maybe our usual guys were getting fed BS. I then got a text from someone who would likely know saying he was ours, so I felt better about that theory, but not so much now.

As you said, coaching searches lol

Why is it seeming unlikely now after the text?

Got another one lol


Don't known what to think, we'll see what happens tomorrow. I want White, and as a Vol fan I've learned to realize what I want usually doesn't happen, so I'm gonna guess he sticks at LT.

I spent my entire Easter waiting for "sources" to break the Mike White story. Seems the sources were confused. I now go to bed disappointed

Easter Sunday brought about full discussion of will he or won't he in regards to Louisiana Tech's <b>Michael White</b> and the Tennessee job.

As we noted on Saturday, White and Tennessee had conversations throughout the day. However, no deal was
reached in large part due to some security in the contract with regards to what would be the buyout by Tennessee, according to multiple sources, once a deal moved beyond the first two seasons. Much like with the proposed new deal that Cuonzo Martin would have received, a lower buyout on Tennessee's side remains a focal point for UT officials weary of paying coaches exorbitant buyout sums to not coach on Rocky Top.
The talks from Saturday continued into Sunday. At mid-day it appeared that the two weren't close to a deal; however sources say both sides were still talking, although how much with it being a holiday is debatable. Sunday night, it was rumored
that White had turned Tennessee down. However what's unclear as we head into Monday is whether or not the two sides have moved on or if they are still talking with each other.

White was with his family this weekend in the state of Florida.

If White, who has a good team returning next season, decides he's definitely not coming to Tennessee then where Hart goes next is an interesting move. White emerged as the frontrunner been Friday and Saturday and he has been the focus for
Tennessee. But White also is seen as a strong potential candidate a year from now at his alma mater, Ole Miss; Andy Kennedy enters the 2014-15 season squarely on the hot seat.

As we reported last week, Tennessee and Southern Mississippi head coach <b>Donnie Tyndall</b> had a conversation and Tyndall has clearly been interested in the Tennessee job. Sources have indicated that Tyndall is interested in the job but that he also as of Sunday evening hadn't heard from any Tennessee officials since last Thursday.

On the bolded, if true...good luck convincing any good coach to come here with a contract that says....if you don't do good enough in your first 2 years I'm gonna make it real easy to fire you.

Gotta find a middle ground. Hammy killed us with buyouts. Dave Hart may do the same in an opposite manner. Rather than strap UT with financial burden, he may saddle us with lesser head coaches.

Absolutely

This is speculation on my part, but seems that it's over what Tennessee would owe him if he were terminated early. I think it sounds like he's looking for a strong 4-5 year commitment not necessarily in salary, but in how easy it would be for Tennessee to part ways before the end of the deal.
