FWIW, All of you that say Oregeron is not going to UT.....

Rivals Radio heard the same rumor.....They are based in Nashville - and the host went to UT, and definately IS NOT a homer.

take it or leave it...guess we will know in a couple days

I hope he comes here but i'm seeing a lot of different outlets reporting the UT thing. Granted it could just be lazy journalism and just regurgitating the same bad info but . . . .

No, I think UT journalists are just living in the moment of new possible coaches daydreaming

Here's another one

Former USC assistant coach Ed Orgeron is expected to become associate head coach and defensive line coach at Tennessee.

From UT board this morning:

According to my source that has some very good connections, the Orgeron deal is just like Lane Kiffin's and Monte Kiffin's. I am not talking money terms, but it is a "done deal" they are just not announcing it yet. I was told it is pretty common knowledge, Kiffin has told him he will be "the assistant defensive coordinator" There is not a title for this, but it is kind of a gentlemen's agreement that he will be the guy after Monte retires, but that's a big IF Orgeron stays around. Look for the Orgeron hire to be announced as early as next weekend.





Amazing stuff

both side are pretty confident


What does this all mean?

Nobody knows nothing.

I still hanging my hat on LA007, because he is a coach and knows local coaches, and he reported what coach O told these coaches last weekend

That is a pretty decent source of info..

The entire process has been frustrating, at least Peveto and Mallory have moved on and we can at least put that to bed

I believe that O has been offered by LSU. If Tennessee is also offering, then O's agent is loving life...O will have a tough decision.

If O wants more than 400k to be the DL/recruiting coordinator I think you have to let him walk

Here is the deal...

Coach O making about 500k right now with the Saints...UT is paying Lane Kiffin what, 2 million or something, they are paying Monte Kiffin, 1 million...Now please do the Math here...With 2 guys making that much money, where are they going ot come up with big money for a 3rd guy?

The truth to the deal is....Lane Kiffin and Orgeron have the same Agent. The math just doesn't work with Orgeron and Tennessee.
