Any buzz on who they are focusing on?

With our track record....we are most likely waiting on the lowest bidder.

Other than that I have no idea.

How dare you use the word "buzz" when discussing basketball coaches?!?

Dooley noted. Such slip-ups must be avoided.

Houston, we have a problem!  You need to stay in your Lane and cut that crap out.

I honestly have no clue right now, but if I had to guess, I think White.

Tony? I'd be good with that. Reggie would have been fine too.

I question James A.'s ability to relate to players,  fans, internal combustion engines,  the media, or pretty much anything. Native American and British players are most likely not options.

Is that a name?

He is preferable to Tyndall.

Supposedly Donnie Tyndall, Michael White, and Richard Pitino are in the mix. Chris Mack, Mitch Cronin have been mentioned. I don't see an "upgrade" in that group. I really do not want little Ricky Pitino. Tyndall looks like a cartoon character. I hope it is White. I don't understand UT philosophy. Go all in on facilities, and skimp on coaching salary. I suppose it is a function of current revenue stream.

After this latest round of facilities enhancements, maybe UT should rethink its philosophy. Clearly teams with lesser facilities kick our asses routinely :dunno:

That's funny right there. I don't care who you are.

It's a name, and a race, in this search

I see a couple of upgrades in that group. I don't want Pitino, and I'm far from sold on Mack. I don't know enough about Tyndall to comment on him. But IMO Mitch Cronin has done a heck of a job at Cincinnati, and I would take White in a heartbeat.

Cronin isn't leaving Cinncy......Mark him off the list.

Jon Gruden. His wife is a former UT cheerleader, he was a graduate assistant under Majors, and he and his wife on property somewhere in East Tennessee.  He is the obvious choice.   :naughty:

It'll be Cronin.  We took their football coach, we'll take their basketball coach, too.  Then, we'll take King's Island and Gold Star Chili. :biggrin:

Gold star chili sucks.

I'm hearing White

IKR?  But everyone up there thinks it's the greatest chili in the world.  I think it tastes like reheated leftover spaghetti.  :hurl:

But I'd take King's Island all day.  I'd even trade them Dollywood for it. :biggrin:

FWIW, Parrish is reporting this morning that White has emerged as the leader.

Yep.  Been a while since we have been there, but that is the theme park our kids preferred over all of the rest - there and King's Dominion in Virginia.

Now that I have Grandsons I have feeling we'll be doing that again before too long.   :clap:

There isn't a whole lot to love about the state of Ohio, but between KI and Cedar Point, they have some awesome roller coasters. :thumbup:

Daughter's going there with her school Orchestra trip. We've been a few times, only a  1.5 hr trip for us. It's fun

I prefer my chili spicy, hot, and with no spaghetti in it.
