Parrish: UT focusing on Mike White for HC vacancy

[ElDoDawgFan]

Jimmy Watson has been tweeting about Mike White's integrity. Said yesterday that Mike White had too much integrity to take that job. Love to see that be the story here.

In any case Tech SIDs need to promote, promote, promote throughout the offseason. We need 8000 in the TAC a couple times next season. We have to show this coach some love!

The great story here is that Mike White didn't take the money and run like SD and Dooley did, but, you won't read that in the Shreveport Times. This is a real rare thing in college sports to find someone that shows this kind of integrity.

The problem with that story is what happens if he then bolts after next season? I don't think this has anything to do with Mike's integrity. He was courted, he listened, he deliberated and after deciding it wasn't the best fit, he stayed for at least one more year.

I guess we know where you stand now. You should apply for a job with the Shreveport Times. Lang will love you. He won't even have to edit your articles.

Coach White turning down UT is great press for TECH and just plain awesome for Da Dawgs!!

Hey Prof. You think we could at LEAST get a box score next year in The Town Talk? Please don't use the excuse "you have to give the readers what they want". I'm from A town and there are plenty of TECH grads there.

Been following quietly all weekend. THANK YOU, Coach White! I hope we can stop worrrying now for a while, instead of living in fear. I would love to see a deep NCAA run and him STILL turn down other jobs next year - stating that he wants to make Tech the new Duke in MBB!

A source told @CBSSports that Donnie Tyndall's deal at Tennessee is for six years at $1.6 million per year.

Here is the lead-in quote from the top ESPN-MBB story on the Tennessee hire:

"Tennessee, hours after being turned down by Louisiana Tech's Mike White, has hired Southern Miss coach Donnie Tyndall. The school will introduce him in a news conference Tuesday afternoon."

Pretty cool

Isn't Mizzou still looking for a coach?

Media claiming that they have their guy. Ken Anderson, Division II coach with high major assistant experience.

Wow! I had him as #3 on my "short list" if White jumped. Kim Anderson won the D-II title this year and coaches at Central Missouri. He served as an assistant at Baylor and Missouri under Norm Stewart. While a lot of fans wanted him, it had appeared that his time was past, he is an older guy and it looked like it was a very long shot for him to get the Missouri job. If he does, I think that would be a great hire for them.
