Parrish: UT focusing on Mike White for HC vacancy

[Blue Dawg]

UT fans are severely underestimating our program as a whole. They can't believe White wouldn't jump at the first boat out.

And Gary Parrish's latest:

But a source told CBSSports.com that, after speaking with Tennessee officials, White is now leaning toward staying at Louisiana Tech, where his current contract gives him more longterm security than Tennessee seemed willing to provide.

"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."


And then we can start the Missouri speculation....





UPDATE: Not offical just yet, but....

I am sure Speedy and others are on the phone with CMW pleading their case. Good luck guys!!! You better believe CMW has another job next year and hopefully we have a really good short list already.

As someone said their fan board is eerily similar to ours. I think all fan boards are virtually the same. That is why we are fanatics. When I go back to the old frat house...just like I always notice the faces and names change but there is always someone who comes along to take your spot. Same way with fan boards... LOL

On post 15, about halfway down, the poster says that Mizzou has offered.

Probably has not a clue, hopefully.....



On another note, seems a lot of the A&M fans would do anything to get rid of Kennedy now. He was my 1st choice to replace Rupp.

RT @GoodmanESPN: Mike White will not go to Tennessee, sources told ESPN. Has decided to remain at Louisiana Tech.

Sean Isabella ‏@ST_IsabellaTNS now Can confirm national reports that Mike White isn't going anywhere. He'll be back at Louisiana Tech. Bulldog fans can party in Ruston tonight

^^ I hope that means he would take himself out of consideration for the Missouri job.

Not a serious deal with mo according to local papers up there
