The host of the show used to write for the Star-Tribune and is a credible journalist.

His source this morning was that Tennessee Media reporting it.

Wow. That is a huge move considering the trouble they are in right now.

This just shows you what a competent AD can do.

Maybe the Minnesota Defensive Coordinator can reach out to LSU. #WishfulThinking

That is a strange move for a guy who could have gotten a better gig in a year or two without the pending NCAA violations.

Interesting if true.

Behind the rah-rah personality, Fleck seems to be a decent HC. Wouldn’t be my first choice to lead a Big6 SEC program, but it does appear that UT will have made a far better hire than expected if it happens.

The question is, how much will it cost them? Is it really worth, say, 5 years @ $7 million per guaranteed to “Row the Boat”? (not any actual numbers, just wild speculation on my part).

Don’t have to bring the Knicks into it. But they’d be irrelevant in the SEC too

This is a boom/bust hire. He’s a rah rah guy, but that may be what they need.

This could fail spectacularly. Has a Butch feel.

not sure why he would want to get himself embroiled in what is going to be a crap fest when the NCAA levels punishment. His schtick wont play well in the SEC. You are only as good as the croots you bring to campus

I heard it on the radio from a guy who said Tennessee reporters are saying it and links to a tweet saying "Fleck steam." This seems like a 1996 coaching rumor.

I’m not a huge fan, but he’s a much better coach than Butch.

We'll be able to get him. Tennessee will be a springboard to a better job, like LSU. Think Bill O'Brian at pedo st. That's Fleck and Tenn. Most of those hillbillies have no clue what shite shape their program is in. Players bailing out, sanctions coming and an unrealistic fan base that thinks Tenn deserves national championships. Tenn has been crap for 15 years. Dumpster fire and it's on,y getting worse when you can barely field a team of 3 stars. Fleck goes 6-5 and it's a miracle there.
