Title: Re: Word is....UCF AD Danny White hired at UT? Post by: VinnieVOL on January 21, 2021, 07:01:19 EST I continue to feel better and better about current leadership at TN.
Title: Re: Word is....UCF AD Danny White hired at UT? Post by: Tnphil on January 21, 2021, 07:04:35 EST Looks like a done deal....Makes 1 million at UCF and said to have a 2.5 million buyout?
Title: Re: Word is....UCF AD Danny White hired at UT? Post by: Black Diamond Vol on January 21, 2021, 07:06:25 EST The former Cowboys QB?
Title: Re: Word is....UCF AD Danny White hired at UT? Post by: Black Diamond Vol on January 21, 2021, 07:12:09 EST 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.
Title: Re: Word is....UCF AD Danny White hired at UT? Post by: PirateVOL on January 21, 2021, 07:15:29 EST I agree, a most excellent hire
With his Duke ties, wonder if #16 had any input and perhaps supporting with $$$ Title: Re: Word is....UCF AD Danny White hired at UT?

Now let’s see if he can avoid the, um, outside influences common to UT ADs. 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? Title: Re: Word is....UCF AD Danny White hired at UT? Post by: VinnieVOL on January 21, 2021, 07:16:59 EST Perhaps this opens doors to potential coaches who would've laughed at us and said "no thanks" before?
Title: Re: Word is....UCF AD Danny White hired at UT? Post by: murfvol on January 21, 2021, 07:19:49 EST The former Cowboys QB? 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. Title: Re: Word is....UCF AD Danny White hired at UT? Post by: Tnphil on January 21, 2021, 07:23:49 EST 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. Title: Re: Word is....UCF AD Danny White hired at UT?

@TheChadWithrow · 18m This isn’t a home run. It’s a grand slam. Absolute alpha move by the Tennessee administration. Title: Re: Word is....UCF AD Danny White hired at UT? Post by: PirateVOL on January 21, 2021, 07:27:27 EST No...not the Cowboys White. So, let me get this straight: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. 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 ... :naughty: :dunno: :inughout: :rotfl: :evillaugh: :bow: :angel: :naughty: Title: Re: Word is....UCF AD Danny White hired at UT? Post by: volsboy on January 21, 2021, 07:32:04 EST Well it's definitely not a downgrade. Sorry Fulmer fans.
Title: Re: Word is....UCF AD Danny White hired at UT? Post by: murfvol on January 21, 2021, 07:40:58 EST 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.

Sorry Fulmer fans. lol There isn't a single person that would say it was, except maybe Fulmer himself. But I wouldn't bet on it Title: Re: Word is....UCF AD Danny White hired at UT?

Title: Re: Word is....UCF AD Danny White hired at UT? Post by: Cobbvol on January 21, 2021, 11:36:56 EST I hope he has the latitude to change anything in the Athletic Department he deems appropriate.
