I see no prediction by deer park either way, hard to be wrong if you don't bet, nothing wrong with that of course, prob wise to remain silent, but I don't believe he wasn't contacted somehow thru some lawyer. Too much smoke around that time.

From the DC prediction and sources thread

Before the announcement, lets get it on record who predicted who and what "source" is actually accurate. I thought it would be interesting to finally see who is legitimately bringing information to the board.

Here is what I have after a short search:

VQ Poster Predictions and Inside Sources

Quote:
"As I posted since early Monday, UT has been in contact with Shannon for about a month. Looks like it could be announced this week. Shannon wants a lot, but he commands a lot. IMHO he'll fit in real well with the VFL part of the program. So that's it. I THINK it will/should be announced by Friday due to us having a few visitors this weekend.

Problems arose over details and terms...AND other teams coming calling. Plus Shannon has shown no problem walking away from the table if he's not assured on every last detail (see Arky). I think, but have not been told, that UT contacted Shannon right before the "deal" with Arky when Wilcox was floated for ASU.

I have posted a lot of hints and stuff about this Monday/Tuesday. This will be my last one until it's announced."
Quote:
"I posted last night that I am close to someone at GMC & who knows McCullers personally. I got a call from him yesterday telling me McCullers is a Vol.

He just called me back & said Shannon is the DC & Dooley said that to McCullers. McCullers may go public tomorrow along w/ the hiring of Shannon."
Quote:
Randy Shannon will be the new DC

- He is brining Barrow with him

- Pender and Diggs are Vols

- As some have posted, McCullers and Borque are Vols

Other stuff:

- There is some worry about Pig, but Joseph and Thompson will talk to him after the UA game and the feeling is Tennessee should be fine there

- Santos and Peters will remain Vols

- Joseph to TE/ST(don't know who will coach db's)


Feel free to add to the list anyone I have missed. I will update this post if anybody wants to add. Also, those with "sources" feel free to add your own name.

Mods - hope this is alright. I really just want a record of who was saying what based on what source. For all the rumors and sources flying around, it would be good to get it on record who actually said what.

Derek Dooley: "The best example was the national fact that I hired Randy Shannon as defensive coordinator. It was a fact. Some great, respected media outlets reported it, all from one tweet. I never talked to Randy, still haven't. You end up having to defend things that are not only baseless, but there is absolutely nothing to it."

I'd imagine they followed the script so prevalent now in cfb. Our agents contacted many agents doing their due diligence in a coaching search. Doing it that way gives plausible deniability to both sides. The coach can deny he was turned down and schools can deny they were as well, saving face. If Shannon was looked into, it wouldn't take long to uncover a connection to Shapiro , which would be too risky and a deal breaker at a school like UT.

Saying he was close to being hired is absurd which is the premise of this thread. The media would have had a field day with Dooley's comments if they were not true. But they had no solid source so they finally stfu. Randy Shannon's camp didn't have a response to Dooley's comments did they? Didn't think so.

Didn't say he was close to being hired, said I BELIEVE he was contacted. Of course there's no way to know that for sure. He might never have been contacted but a lot of our boosters believe he was.

So this thread went from

Offered HC job to

Offered DC job to

Serious Contender for DC job to

Contacted by Dooley for DC job to

Contacted by someone for DC job.

Personally I BELIEVE he wasn't contacted by anyone.

Not saying you posted all this crap but this thread turned into a big fail.

Calm down, we just discussing tn football in July , I can't wait for it to get here either brother. I just thought the dc predictions thread was interesting. Our insiders got it wrong a lot guaranteeing he'd be announced in the next few days and whatnot. Just seems to me that something was going on and we dropped consideration of him considering our normally reliable "sources" . Another far fetched idea is that hart used the situation to monitor leaks and to find out who runs their trap concerning the program. Toss something out there and see where it ends up. He did fire some people not long after.

Temp job so he can be our head coach next year. He is still working out his contract with us for next season. That was the hold up last time.
