I though it was an article of faith among Vol fans that Blackburn was a done deal.



That's what all the beat reporters keep saying despite the drawn out process. Now suddenly Barnes, Jones, Warlick are supposedly pushing for Gilbert out of the blue. I'm starting to think the beat guys are far more out of touch on this hire than they have been on anything in a long time -- don't even know if I believe the rumor about Gilbert or the coaches wanting him at this point. It wouldn't make much sense for them.

If it were Blackburn, he'd be here right now. He hired another coach at UTC, he doesn't have any pressing issues there, he could be ready to go tomorrow.


They're actually going to frick this up lol

They coaches want Gilbert because Gilbert is better for their job security.
