If Austin Thomas is already planning to be here, there’s only one name that makes sense.

What's Austin's connection to Mullen (I assume this is who you're talking about)?

I posted in V&S's thread on SEC rant that Thomas has the complete trust of Orgeron and his staff and has a big role on player evaluations. I don't see him making a lateral move unless he was 100% confident he would also have the same level of trust from the UT staff. I'm sure the money of what UT offers and a potential LSU raise would be a wash. But, obviously, Knoxville is a better place to live than Baton Rouge, so you have that going for you.

Mullen turned down their request to interview when Cohen gave him an extension for 6 mil/year and a 1.5 mil raise for assistants.

Sexton did his job.

How dumb are you? Thomas is a valuable member of the staff, but nobody is rustled about him leaving no matter how much you want that to be true.

Not understanding what his motivation would be to make that move does not equal "rustled".

It's okay we will not play LSU unless you slip into the SEC title game. Gruden will take the podium on rocky top soon.

Does Knoxville have a high end cancer center? One of the reasons he chose UW was the hospital there had some special treatment center for his wife.



Not a cancer center but the Patricia Neal Rehab Center (named for the actress known for Breakfast at Tiffany's) specializes in rehab from stroke, brain and spinal injuries. His son is past cancer now but the center could help with any lingering issues given he had a type of brain cancer.

No, Tennessee never pursued mediocre Mullen.

Who and where has this been reported? Dude, the Mullen interview was cancelled by Currie on Wednesday.


You got Butt Sexton'd and you feel like a winner

No, just no. It's his son and he fully recovered before they left Boise.

Rumor out of Bell Buckle, TN (population 512) is the new coach will be Lane Kiffin.
