Wes Rucker Tennessee Insider - GoVols247 - 8 minutes ago

One name continues to emerge above the rest in Tennessee's search for a new men's basketball coach. And that name is Michael White from Louisiana Tech.

Several sources have told govols247 the same thing that CBSSports.com's Gary Parrish tweeted a few minutes ago. Other names continue to be mentioned, but White's name has certainly been the most common one.

I REALLY hope not, but this rumor might have legs.

I think it has more than legs -

It's at a full gallop

If he has not been offered, he will be

More proof why it was important to focus on the other things regarding our MBB program and not just White's salary. We could have set his salary at $1.2Million instead of $600K and it wouldn't be enough. I assume since White's new deal has not been approved, the buyout will be the lesser amount?

He is gone

But we can hope tho

Left it better than he found it. That's all you can ask really.

I agree...much better

How many recruits will we lose. I suppose White goes with him to TN

Tennessee sure does like to steal our coaches. First Dooley and now White.

We took Summitt though (but it was her son).

depends on who gets our job

Jimmy Watson ‏@JimmyWatson6 13h Mike White has too much integrity to take the Tennessee job.

that means he is gone then
