ESPN now citing FootballScoop saying it's Shannon...

  • Copied from ESPN Insider:

    Vols to announce new DC
    4:55PM ET
    Tennessee Volunteers

    Earlier in the week, it was believed Tennessee's Derek Dooley was holding a press conference to introduce former Miami head coach Randy Shannon as the Volunteers' new defensive coordinator. The report of such an occurrence was premature, but it appears to have been accurate.

    "Sources within UT athletics confirm that Tennessee is 'finalizing contract negotiations with Randy Shannon,'" FootballScoop.com reported. "(The) Plan is to announce on Monday. Sources close to Shannon tell us 'security for Randy' is the primary item still being negotiated."

    Shannon will replace Justin Wilcox who was named Washington's defensive coordinator Monday.

  • So espn can pretty much say whatever, not check the source, and say someone else said this, and not report later if it is wrong. I want a job at espn. I'll join a few message boards and search the web for my sources!!!!

  • Well, I think it adds credibility to the story. If they're willing to publish something from footballscoop.com then that website must be at least somewhat reliable.

    No problem. Just to be clear, it's OK to pass along a summary of the information and say where you got it. We just don't want to have anyone else's copyrighted content posted on our board.

    But again, no big deal. We're happy to have you on the board, and we hope to see many more posts from you in the future.
