I would take any specific observations derived from White's past hires with a grain of salt, as you know he was picking candidates he actually thought would fit jobs like Buffalo and UCF. It's clear he has an eye for coaching talent across multiple sports.
I really think White's hire makes this job 2 or 3 times more attractive. Tennessee made a smart move going outside of the UT family for this one. It shows prospective coaches that we really are trying to change our culture and that we are serious about winning.
