A source is telling me that Mike White will be the next coach at Tennessee. Things can change, but he looks like the guy.

Late Saturday evening it was reported that the search for the Tennessee Volunteers in finding their next men’s basketball coach had turned to the young Michael White of Louisiana Tech. Now, a Nashville radio station is reporting that White will be the new man in Knoxville, barring anything drastic taking place.

@withrowzone: I wholeheartedly believe that everything is pointing to Mike White to UT. I also won't guarantee anything. These things are tricky.

Doesn't sound like this is going to happen. White apparently wants a large buyout if he is fired and Tennessee wants to keep it low.

Tennessee is missing out on a hell of a coach.

Apparently in Tennessee's offer White would owe Tennessee twice as much for leaving as Tennessee would owe him for firing him. That is the hangup. Doesn't sound like Tennessee will budge though.

Rumors starting to swirl around Ruston that White has pulled his name out.

Does his new contract have a hefty buyout?

Don't think this is an issue. Tennessee just received $1.3M from Cal.

Maybe Tennessee just had some Derek Dooley night terrors and decided to move on. Would work out for y'all

Yeah he's covered if the UT contract is bad because he's gonna have the Ole Miss job handed to him after next season when Kennedy is finally fired.

That doesn't make any economic sense. He shouldn't sign it. He'll have a good team next year and other opportunities will come along.
