The only thing that makes me doubtful is Monte says it is all speculation. I guess he is not going to come out and admit it, but I would think recruits would like to know who their DC is going to be before Tampa Bays season is over. If it is true, I am not sure how long he can deny it.

Welcome to the board. It's strongly encouraged to read the front page prior to making a new thread.

Also, there's a "search" function that is a great tool for new folks.

Sorry for the hazing, it's your birthright!

OK, I found your posts on 11/28 and also found the following responses. I did not see anyone who said they did not believe you. What did I miss?

Apparently the players have known since last week Lane was the coach, and have been told Monte is also coming.

I think he's coming to help his son out. He only has a few years left but a failure at UT would almost kill LK's coaching career before his 40th birthday. Take the defense out of the equation and just run the O.

PS, I am not doubting you or your source. Just your assertion that nobody believed you, since this has be widely speculated.

PSS, Welcome to the Board.

I hope the fans appreciate the sacrifice Monte is making to come here. From what I read, he was the highest paid D coordinator in the NFL making 2 million a year. He probably won't make half that here. I hope we all can give him the time to build something special at UT, and not have too high expecations at first.

Hey I do not have a link, but Monte spoke after the Tampa game today. He said something like it is just speculation about Tennessee, like it was 2 years ago when Lane was hired by Oakland. He said our team is 9-3 and this is not fair to the players, or coach Gruden

You probably already know this, but Lane wanted to bring him in at Oakland but Al Davis wouldnt let him get rid of the DC at Oakland.

I will not believe it until I see him here, I read he already makes more than all of our assistant coaches combined salary.

I believe he's coming hence the termination of the entire defensive staff. Plus I'm sure Chris Mortensen wants to keep his job.

You know the biggest hint to me that Monte is coming is that Hamilton hired Lane at all. I don't think he would have taken such a risk if he didn't think that Kiffen was bringing a top flight staff with him.

Word is that he will be with Lane at his press con. I would say it is a pretty safe bet that Monte is here to stay.

That's not the word I've been hearing. I don't think he'll admit to that until Tampa Bays season is over.

ESPN just said Monte is coming to UT and will announce it at the conclusion of the Tampa Bay Bucs season. He's coming

I heard the same thing. Is ESPN basing this off the assumption of Chris Mortensen? Or is there more we have yet to hear? I'm guessing they trust Mortensen.

Awesome. I wasn't denying that he was coming, I just don't think he'll be at the press conference.

This quote about Monte makes me excited:

But a funny thing happened before the Bucs could bolt. All of the sudden, they got very good. Kiffin came in preaching aggressive defense and showing his players movies with animals attacking one another to fire them up the night before a game. He brought the "Tampa 2 Defense'' into the NFL's vocabulary and watched as former assistants Herm Edwards, Mike Tomlin, Lovie Smith and Rod Marinelli went on to head-coaching jobs.

That is what I am talking about. Coach O is pretty fiery as well. I like this alot better than hand clapping after an interception.

Anyone else see Sportscenter this morning? They were discussing Monte to UT BUT mentioned Monte stated "just speculation" when directly questioned... Anyone else hear this?
