Looks like a done deal....Makes 1 million at UCF and said to have a 2.5 million buyout?

Just read up on him. On paper, I’m not sure we could’ve made a better hire. Now let’s see if he can avoid the, um, outside influences common to UT ADs.

I agree, a most excellent hire

With his Duke ties, wonder if #16 had any input and perhaps supporting with $$$

On paper, sure feels like a culture changing hire.  We've said it several times, but are we finally going to conduct business like adults?

Perhaps this opens doors to potential coaches who would've laughed at us and said "no thanks" before?

That's all I could think. No clue who he is, but hope he's good. We certainly turned down a lot of seemingly solid options.

No...not the Cowboys White.

Danny White's Dad is the AD at Duke.....His brother is the AD at FAU....He was Kiffin's AD at FAU.....His other brother is the BB coach at Florida too, IIRC.

Danny was the AD at Buffalo and hired Oats as his basketball coach...The Oats that's now at Bama.

This isn’t a home run. It’s a grand slam. Absolute alpha move by the Tennessee administration.

So, let me get this straight:
His brother's team stomps the ever loving crap out of your highly rated basketball team so that results in you hire him as our AD
Makes sense ...

I'm very impressed he's made multiple really good hires. Not sure if Heupel is one, but even if he's not that's solid work in multiple sports.

There isn't a single person that would say it was, except maybe Fulmer himself.  But I wouldn't bet on it

Maybe giving his brother a big win was part of the deal?  That would explain a lot

I hope he has the latitude to change anything in the Athletic Department he deems appropriate.
