Is the new linebackers coach at TCU. I would guess that he would have been happy to take the DC job at UT if he had been offered it. Wonder if Palardy is aware of this...

He got off of the plane that he and Lovie Smith have been in circling McGhee-Tyson?

Didn't see this discussed yet, and I put it in the Vol's forum because there was so much talk about him being the Vol's head coach. IIRC, some posters said he was coming here for sure, and he turned it down. Did he really turn down the head coaching position here to be a position coach at TCU? Not trying to incite a Negavol riot, just thought this was interesting. I am one of the most optimistic VFL you will meet.

He was never in play for head coach here. Only DC.

Thanks, couldn't quite remember. So he turned down the DC position to be a position coach. I guess TCU being a new comer in the Big 12 was appealing, with the talent they already have.

Seems like your trying to make something out of nothing.

Well I wouldnt say turned down. Im pretty sure Dooleys 1st choice was to take someone qualified from Saban. He got his man in Sunseri. I believe Shannon was next in line if Sunseri turned it down. We will never know.

The other part of that equation was potentially Michael Barrow - who is in the center of the most recent AA investigation that includes Golden. Maybe Randy needs to stick around South FL long enough to get his old job back. They will be running out of options down there once the AA finishes up.

He wanted a guaranteed shot when Dooley gets canned.

Shannon wasn't even on the list of DC candidates. Not even considered. It was complete message board fodder. Not even a shred of truth.

His agent tried to stoke up speculation that he was in play for several DC jobs, and he never even interviewed for any of them.

I hope you realize there are official lists and unofficial lists.

I hope you realize that Randy Shannon wasn't on an official list or an unofficial list. Tennessee had zero interest. Zero. His agent contacted UT. They never even responded.

I don't care if you have a source that says otherwise, I like my source better. I posted here from the first time it was brought up here that he wasn't even being considered, even while some, I believe including you, said it was a done deal. UT never spoke with him or any of his representatives.

I never said it was a done deal. But you and your source are wrong or naive if you don't think contact was made. Albeit it was made through backchannels and involved Dooley getting his arse canned after the Lexington debacle.

Well, you can call me naïve if you want, but 100% no one from UT had any contact with Randy Shannon or his people. Period.

And I'm telling you that what they tell you in the light is not always what happened. Period.
