I guess he realized that UT was goin to stink next year and wanted to get out while he was hot. Don't blame him at all after how the fan base treated him

Gregg Marshall come on down.

Don't blame him either.

First call needs to be to Bruce Pearl. If/when he says no, call Marshall and/or McDermott.

UT Fans are going to lose their minds that he waited until now and didn't go sooner when they could have brought Pearl back!!!

 

Love it!!!

Gregg Marshall come on down.

 

You said it.

 

Would be a huge pick up for not only the Vol nation, but SEC basketball in general.

 

If UT was to over more than what he makes in Shocker land (any idea what his pay is?).....a few hundred K or more; bounce.

 

UT will always be like Florida. Basketball is always going to 2nd....but, get to the tourney most years..win a game or two here or there, and everybody 'Happy, Happy, Happy'.

I guess you don't feel a lot of love from the fan base when 30,000 + people sign a petition saying they want their old coach back instead of you. Don't feel sorry for Vols fans on this one.

Vol fans are already on the Gruden Watch!!!

Just under $2 million per year, I believe. Nothing to scoff at.

Never seen anything like this....Usually players are ticked when a coach leaves....Go check out the tweets from the UT guys.

I didn't realize they had 30K fans sign a petition for Pearl to come back. Pretty wild.
