By the way, how about Tennessee paying a search firm $120,000, only for the AD to hire the head coach at his last school, less than 100 hours after the AD was hired himself. That's way more egregious than the actual hire itself 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Tennessee hires Josh Heupel as their new head coach.
The Vols have to rebuild their football program, so they’ve turned to the UCF duo to start the process.

The AP National Coach of the Year... who played HS ball, a mere 20 miles from Neyland Stadium...
Was never interviewed.
In order to make the lazy hire.
Try to not forget that.
Thoughts on Heupel in Knoxville:
* Offense will put up yards/points in SEC East. He's done it before
* Defensive hire is critical. His defenses spend a lot of time on the field
* Dealing with media isn't his favorite part of the job - and there are LOTS of media covering Vols
Paying millions of dollars for a brand new AD — who conducts a “search” — and then hires the coach at his old school is like going to prom with your cousin. Which makes Josh Heupel the perfect hire for Tennessee.
@Josh_Ward@SportsRadioWNML I wonder if anyone knows what the lowest number of viewers for a UT hiring press conference stream is. If we don't I suggest setting the benchmark with whatever the numbers are on this one.
Pointed out by a source: Danny White spent $120,000 of Tennessee's money to hire ultimately hire the guy he hired at UCF. #collegesports
