I swear - if all this Rocky Top chatter is based around an assistant and a DOVO, people will need to be banned from this board. You are missing the big picture. Last year Tennessee gave the head coach a 2 year extension. There is now 1 year on his deal. The DOVO is posted and now if an assistant position is vacant, it raises two interesting possibilities. -This is a coordinated and orderly evacuation and everyone is trying to find their next paycheck, including Rob Patrick and we'd expect to see him move on to a new school this off-season. However, if you are expecting a staff change the new staff would hire the DOVO and they got that DOVO posting up really quick. -Or Rob Patrick's plan was to stay for 2 years and try to save the ship - 17-14 isn't that bad and they have 7 rising seniors plus Schumacher, Hansen, Tieber and Grubbs. But now that people are leaving, who is taking those jobs when there is a good chance you are let go next December? So does UT or even Rob Patrick decide to scuttle the ship a year early and Tennessee moves in a new direction? I heard PJ Fleck is interested in UT VB job

But now that people are leaving, who is taking those jobs when there is a good chance you are let go next December? So does UT or even Rob Patrick decide to scuttle the ship a year early and Tennessee moves in a new direction? Tennessee':s AD gave Patrick a 2 year contract to keep him through 2017. That AD then announces he will retire effective June 2017. Would the AD "scuttle" this ship early and go through a hiring process, when he could just let keep the current contract and make it the next guys decison when the contract ends after '17 season? Tennessee has also had an assistant opening after the last 4 seasons, replaced Alan Edwards after 2013 season, replaced Rachel Cooper after 2014, replaced Jen Malcolm after 2015. Every year Patrick has been deemed "in trouble" yet people take the job. They'll find someone to take it.

A) The Erica thing wasn't a big secret. B) Fleck would be EXACTLY what UT needs.

You can be tough, as long as you’re not toxic. Some coaches don't know the difference.

You don't actually think that people in the know, always post their first hand knowledge on VT do you? I agree with Freeman... Erica wasn't a big secret, neither was the DOVO official listing.

No. I am not thinking one way or the other. I am saying that we shouldn't discount that to others it is a surprise. I didn't mention the DOVO, but the asst position was kind of a surprise. Maybe not to you, but to others it was.

That sucks. Anna is a good coach. I think the coach that she was initially replacing got a HC job somewhere else. I hope she gets some good help.
