We here at Football Time are immensely proud of our coverage of the Tennessee Basketball Season in general and the Coaching Search in particular. The MVP of that coverage was clearly one Reed Carringer, who absolutely nailed it here and here. He was also consistently excellent on Twitter and seemingly a step ahead of most of his competitors. On behalf of Football Time, we appreciate each and every one of you who visits this site and enjoys what we do. On behalf of the rest of the Football Time staff, Reed, you are the man. That bit of housekeeping aside, we bring you now your reactions to the news that this seemingly hyper-charismatic new Head Coach who fits the template to succeed in Knoxville will be prowling the sidelines for your Tennessee Vols. If you haven’t seen this video, do yourself a favor and start there:

Onward.

Per @GaryParrishCBS, Tyndall will be Tennessee’s next coach. Like we reported yesterday, he wasn’t going to turn UT down. — BasketballTime in TN (@BBallTimeMag) April 22, 2014

FYI, @rcarringer, the man behind @FootballTimeMag and @BBallTimeMag covered this coaching search like a real pro. Kudos deserved. — Ryan Wooden (@Ryan_Wooden) April 22, 2014

@BBallTimeMag By the way, you need to keep up with Tyndall’s twitter followers. He’s already added 700 since I followed him abt 8 mins ago — Ricky Bretherick (@utstick) April 22, 2014

Like I said when Arizona got Sean Miller, Tennessee will eventually be glad that it stumbled into this hire. Donnie Tyndall is a great fit.

— Gary Parrish (@GaryParrishCBS) April 22, 2014

Hopefully UT fans will get on board with Tyndall. Fan base has been divided for 4 years now.

Our new coach’s twitter handle is @coachtyndallusm. FYI.

Go look at Donnie Tyndall’s tweets from March to see how important the fans are to him.

Tyndall has listed Rick Pitino & Bill Self as some of his coaching influences. He incorporates a fair amount of press & some zone on D.

‘Donnie Basketball’ I love it!!! I love that he’s had an NCAA past. U must get down on it in recruiting. #Vols

Tomorrow there will be approx. 750,000 “Tyndall won the press conference” tweets and approx. 750,000 “so did Dooley” replies.

The amount of energy generated by Tyndall and Pearl during the Tennessee-Auburn game may blow the roof off Thompson-Boling.

— Doug Brooks (@DesertVol) April 22, 2014

2pm press conference set for tomorrow @ UT per WVLT

— Tony Basilio (@TonyBasilio) April 22, 2014

Some nerd numbers on Tyndall: He had the best AdjO rating (offensive efficiency) in Conference USA last year.

— Ryan Wooden (@Ryan_Wooden) April 22, 2014

Defensively, his team ranked fifth in the Conference USA in AdjD, per http://t.co/YGal4P30Tr.

— Ryan Wooden (@Ryan_Wooden) April 22, 2014

Tyndall’s buyout at Southern Miss. is about $500k. Vols got $1.3 million from Cuonzo, so +800k in that category.

— Daniel Lewis (@DanielNooga) April 22, 2014

Donnie Tyndall stood on tables asking USM students to come out to games!

That’s a 10-4 RT @VolRumorMill: But can he recruit? pic.twitter.com/SvOqUXaAqF

To the recruits, #VolNation wants you all next season! @JordanCornish5_ @LifeisDeep_ @_LarryAustin2_ @1_turman! #VFL

Southern Miss and Donnie Tyndall used the phrase “Rise to the Top” in this season’s promo video. Sound familiar? https://t.co/eoQ6NhQHdg
