Danny White: Input from football team leaders needed before coaching search can begin

Danny White has arrived on Rocky Top. Tennessee’s new director of athletics was introduced today and faced questions from the media. Of course a lot of those questions had to do with his upcoming search for a new head football coach.

It’s something White has been very good at during his career, dating back to his days at Buffalo. White hired six-time D3 champ Lance Leipold, who has since turned the Buffalo program around and attended three consecutive bowls. He then went to UCF and hired Scott Frost to turn around an 0-12 football program. Two years later, that group went undefeated.
