Nope. They can't.

Because Dan White knows Josh. Knows him well enough to ask, "Josh, how much will it really take to keep you here, no bargaining, no coy responses, just the truth?" They know each other well enough and like each other enough that Josh will answer honestly. They're friends. They get each other. And then Dan will go out and find the money to keep Josh happy. Because Donde supports Dan, and if he says that's what it takes, she'll trust that he's right.

This isn't the UT administration of the 2000s or 2010s. We have some of the best in the business at each level. No one in the country can take from us the coaches we want to keep.

Go Vols!

We finish in top 5-6 again (different qb) it will be hard to keep coach. Too many rich college programs out there wanting what we have.

Ugh…Many said same thing about Butch and Pruitt… let’s consistently become a winner first… no reason we can’t keep JH. We have funding to compete w anyone. NFL would be my only worry as far as losing him but that will take a few more years for NFL to come around on his brand of offense.

Damn, after the last 15+ years, you really must have a terminal case of BVS if you are worrying about a top 5 finish costing us our coach. If that's the first thing on your mind, what's the point of even grinding on a weekly basis unless you are an out and out masochist? Find another hobby and enjoy your life.

I saw a podcast the other day where a guest stated that in the last decade only four (4) SEC coaches have left an SEC program to go to another program outside of the SEC. I think he said there were forty-four (44) coaching changes in the decade. Most retired or quit due health reasons. The next highest number was being fired.

So, four coaches have left a SEC program for perceived greener pastures in ten years. One that he mentioned was James Franklin. Franklin left an anchored down ship and landed on his feet at Pedophile U.

Coaches don't leave this conference for greener pastures, when the pastures in the SEC are the greenest. History shows that. There is zero evidence to uphold your concern.

Good post and point Halph!
I can’t fault Vol fan for being paranoid though. The past 15 years has made me jumpy too.🤷‍♂️

If he finishes in top 6 as you suggest. What other programs do you think would currently be more attractive than playing in front of 102k crazy orange fans?

I just think at most there might be a small handful of programs you would leave for if it include a truck load of money and those programs seem to be stable.

Don’t forget even the booster politics seem to be stable with White running the show.

I don’t see him leaving if DW shows him the Re$pect he will deserve.

These threads are always annoying for many different reasons.

1) We’re a rich program who can pay whatever we need to keep our coach if we want to keep him.

2) It’s been 2 years. We haven’t even played our season opener against Virginia. Can we please stop with all the doom and gloom about losing our coach? These exact same threads popped up for Pruitt and Butch.
