GrandmaG threw money at every swinging piece from Johnson City to Memphis and got turned down more than he did on prom night.
More people in Knoxville turned him down than I can name. He, er she, was calling after first round of interviews trying to find anyone willing to take the job. They can offer money, non-TCRS and no insurance, mind you. But that’s all. They have no athletes. They don’t have the infrastructure to bring in athletes…
And then you have to answer to 500 different people.. and one of those has gender identity issues as well as split-personalities. But hey… this is their 6th home run hire. Pretty impressive for a program if you ask me. The 7th, next year, will be even better. heck, it might even be Buddy Cruze. Not sure what T$$AA thinks about ghost coaches, but as long as he passes the concussion and heat-related illness policy I would imagine it would be okay.
