Yeah, that's simply not true. There was and still is a huge amount of butt hurt on the Tiger rant after UT & "Osama" embarrassed you guys this weekend.

I'll say this much. First, I don't believe that Tony is going anywhere. However, if someone were to get him, right now is the time. Anybody who wants him is going to have a very hard time getting him away from Knoxville after this off season. I've heard that UT is waiting until after the CWS to announce his new contract and major upgrades that are on the way to Lindsey Nelson. And they will be substantial.

He's already the most beloved coach in Knoxville and has a tremendous amount of support from the fan base, city and AD and it's growing by the day. He's both winning and recruiting at a high clip as is with some of the worst facilities in the conference. What do you think is going to happen if and when he gets all the upgrades he's asking for? He's discussed building a legacy. As much as your fan base doesn't want to admit it, a lot of coaches don't want to go walk in the footsteps of giants when they can become a giant in their own right.

Our insiders seemed to be more concerned about Ole Miss at this point. I would hate to lose him but man it would be hilarious if LSU hires Bianco and Ole Miss got Vitello

That's kinda how I feel about Wade even though he's never actually said that he would rather build something himself. He just strikes me as the kind of person that would rather build it than go maintain another program. I could definitely see Vitello wanting to do that as well. Maybe it comes down to how long the facility upgrades would take?

I have no clue what's going on with the LSU search. Yesterday I was 95% sure it was Bianco. Then last night we get news that Bianco may not have even been interviewed yet. Today we have one radio guy saying it could be a done deal this afternoon and another saying Bianco is all smoke.

Believe me. LSU fans are terrified that we are gonna get Bianco and Ole Miss is gonna get Godwin, McDonnell or even Vitello.

Actually, it is true. I haven't seen any LSU fan say they don't want him.

Doesn't mean they haven't, I just haven't seen it.

I've rarely been to the Tiger Rant except for yesterday and today so that explains me not seeing it.

Not sure how LSU got "embarrassed," they were a sub .500 SEC team who was lucky to even be in a Super Regional. Many didn't think the team would even make the postseason.

LSU may have their guy already and just waiting to announce this weekend at the startup of the CWS.

If not by Saturday then the 10RC HC just might be a real candidate.

You guys are all over the place when it comes to wanting him or not wanting him. Good grief.


Once they started floating Bianco's name, everyone loved Vitello all of a sudden.

The job is Bianco's if he wants it. If not, then Godwin is the #2 target. Bianco is heading to Baton Rouge already for the "interview".

I think if it's Bianco or Godwin, then we'll know maybe today or in the next few days.

If it's still open when the CWS, then it gets a lot more interesting from several angles.

Vitelleaux hasn't been named as a serious candidate yet.

This will make it even better when he stays.

Coaches always announce that they are resigning and going to another school while finishing the season in the CWS. Even more do it after they win the CWS. It happens all the time.

This is sad.

Lsu has went from wanting him

To them realizing he wasnt comming to that shite hole school and talking shite about how he is classless and they dobt want him

To them realizing no one wants that shite job and ending up with bianco or worse.

To praying they could get vitello again

So many stages of denial.. this is pathetic. Lsu will end up with someone no one wanted "yet they will all try and convince everyone its the best hire ever"
