Serrano has been available for a week. Somebody wants to get Holbrook in here. He's one win away from the CWS.

That's what I've been thinking. It seems to me that UT really wants Holbrook and will settle with Serrano if Holbrook ultimately turns it down.

Hyams...boy oh boy. The easiest thing to do is go along with the Hyams "always get's it wrong" or "always late to the ball game". That might be correct, 'cept for the late part.

The one thing that has to be figured out is this...Is Dave Serrano in Knoxville ready and waiting to do an interview? Hyams says he is. Josh at Scout says he is. Kendall Rogers says he's not, PERIOD.

The timing of this tweet by Hyams has/had me baffled, and after biting the bullet for an SC paysite, it has them "perplexed" as well.

My theory is that Hyams was told what he tweeted or a very close approximation to what he was told. Once he let it out into the world, whoever told him was in a rough spot. Everyone shut it down, denied it...that Serrano was here AND more importantly that there is a "scheduled announcement to name the baseball coach on tuesday." That's important because of Holbrooks time table. I'll do my best to back it up later, but that's the theory.

TitanCentral.com A poster has posted Serrano to be named HC Tuesday...no link...fwiw...IF IF IF that is true it MAY mean Holbrook has taken his hat out of the ring.

The Warren Commission wasn't as thorough as you.

I'm fairly certain he has taken his name out of the running at this point from what I have heard.

I think Holbrook is going to get a pretty good financial boost from SC.

If he stays, yeah and an assurance that he'll be the next coach. They won't tag him with HCIW because it would matter with recruiting.

Which I believe he will get. I'm honestly 99.9% sure it's Serrano at this point.

Well, I'm just trying to put what's out in the world on VN. The truth is there may never be a "link" that says Holbrook took his name out of the hat. I'm not sure of anything, but I don't know anyone either.

The removing of his name from the hat has actually made it's way to some coaching circles. I would expect either he or Tanner to say something tomorrow or Monday at the latest.

Whittle:"As of late Saturday night, Holbrook has not withdrawn his name for consideration for the Tennessee job and, as of this writing, does tentatively plan to interview for the position"

stay tuned.

Twitter required reading...

- @johnmwhittle corrects the Jimmy Hyams report - Serrano did NOT interview today. Scheduled to interview AFTER Holbrook this week.

Travis Haney
As I've been told, Holbrook pulled ahead of Serrano as candidate when Hamilton "stepped aside."

We shall stay tuned.

I honestly think both Serrano and Holbrook have put themselves in a tough situation. One of the two are going to have to answer some questions when they don't have the job.

That's why these rumors of Holbrook removing his name actually carry some weight to me. He has much more to lose at this point in his career.

May be true, bunch of people trying to save face right now imo.

According to Whittle: Depending on the win/loss situation tomorrow, Holbrook will interview monday or tuesday. He says Serrano is NOT in Knoxville and won't interview until wednesday. That would gel with the fact that he thinks Holbrook is the #1 candidate for the job. Again please, this may be Hubbs or it may be Rucker....it's the internet.

Whittle: " Given the interview schedule for UT’s top two candidates, the Tuesday press conference is clearly inaccurate. A press conference to name a new coach has not been set."
