Yeah--it's definitely more common in the academic world than in the college athletics world. That's why I listed the major disadvantage--the coaches probably would leave with no promise of security.Quote:

Mike White, stay for Speedy!
Whatever link you're looking for to support your argument of he's staying or going you can find. The only thing left to do is wait it out. Oh, and beware of those who stir the pot.Quote:

Multiple reports say that Michael White may be the new head men’s basketball coach at Tennessee, reports Ally Tucker (writer for Kentucky Sports Radio). White is currently at Louisiana Tech. He has had a successful season at Louisiana tech, leading his team to a 74-31 record. He has also had some SEC experience, having played at Ole Miss and later as their assistant coach.
this sounds like yesterday news. nothing new here.Quote:

Phil Jackson "may be" the next coach at UT. Any idiot blogger can write that. Shame on these sports writers for not practicing their craft correctly.
Blogs are designed to create traffic. Nothing more, nothing less.
I swear I should just start taking PTO days during situations like this. All I do is hit refresh on BBB, BTB, SEC Rant, Vol Nation, and Twitter 15 times every hour. Absolutely zero productivity out of this guy today.
lol - same here. It sucks that even if White decides to stay, we all know that he will be gone next year. DFM said the best thing thru out this whole process, we should invest in the program more - not just paying our coach more.Quote:

Gary Parrish, who broke the Tennessee-White talks, is now tweeting those talks "have cooled" and that White is "likely to stay at Louisiana Tech."

BBall Time Magazine guy just wrote this
Quote:
Several boosters at LA Tech have maintained throughout the weekend that White will stay there one more year. Likewise at least one high level booster was told White is staying as recently as this morning. Still, sources close to the program urged that nothing is official and White will be in play for the Tennessee job until he either publicly turns UT down or the Vols start to pursue other candidates. Talks between the two parities have cooled considerably since yesterday, but a deal is still not officially dead. Expect a final decision sometime this afternoon.
