So . . . yes . . . we are stuck with him. Too bad they couldn't offer a transfer to someone like this: http://www.knoxtntoday.com/big-mike-is-moving-on/

Of course after you read what he was offered at his Gannettzoid newspaper you'd know why he retired.:

From Knoxville:

"Mike Strange has chosen retirement from the News Sentinel over a demotion cooked up by the foreign ownership group, Gannett.
“My role was being redefined as a non-columnist, helping out on football and being responsible for men’s hoops. I told them that 67 is too old to go back to being a beat writer.
“Their idea of helping out on football is shooting video, doing Facebook Live segments and, by the way, writing a little bit. The game story is going away and that is something I always put great stock in doing.”
