Re: Parrish: UT focusing on Mike White for HC vacancy
More and more smoke:

A source is telling me that Mike White will be the next coach at Tennessee. Things can change, but he looks like the guy.

Re: Parrish: UT focusing on Mike White for HC vacancy
Yep, just caught it on a local channel. The focus IS Mike White !!!
Re: Parrish: UT focusing on Mike White for HC vacancy
He is not gone! He's already said, "I am not pursuing other opportunities". Also, it is more expensive to live in Knoxville than it is in Ruston. :rolleyes:
Re: Parrish: UT focusing on Mike White for HC vacancy
Enough of this foolishness. if he is leaving, say so already. Our AD should be on the phone now preparing for the search. if white doesnt leave this year, it will eventually happen. we are always caught off guard by these things. get you a pool of candidates on standby and when White states he is leaving put the new coaches name on the door the same day. Pardon my language, but damn this is frustrating!
Re: Parrish: UT focusing on Mike White for HC vacancy
I think the next HC already lives in Ruston.

When your head coach has just signed a six-year contract extension less than three weeks ago, you would think that would matter.
I know, I know. In "coachspeak", nothing is assured.
Re: Parrish: UT focusing on Mike White for HC vacancy
what about the recrutes we had signed for this coming year?
Are they still obligated to LaTech?
Re: Parrish: UT focusing on Mike White for HC vacancy
He is staying here until Ole Miss opens up.......when that vacancy opens, he is gone.
Why go to Tennessee, a mess, and take a huge risk to your future when you can win here and wait for Oxford. We are loaded for the next couple of years

Tennessee is a viable program. Ole Miss is much more of a mess, imo....

Exactly! They've also seen 3 years of modeling on how the program should be run in Ruston. No way I would go with a change in coaching culture with the team we have coming back.

Coming off a Sweet 16 run, young talent coming back and some of the best facilities in the South and country
Willing to pay $2 million or better -
Pearl won big there and ignited the fan base - White's charisma and personality would do the same
