Breaking: At the conclusion of the NCAA Tournament, expect #Vols Assistant Coach Kim English to take the Head Coaching job at George Mason. All signs are pointing to him taking the new gig and leading a program for the first time! #GeorgeMason

Do we believe it?

I believe John Brice. He’s very connected.

Do we believe it?

Based solely on English’s Twitter activity I am saying yes ... should be a press conference early next week.

When Patriot 1 heads out of Dulles to Knoxville I will believe it.

Anyone know the tail number of any University private plane?

I believe it is already airborne

From John Brice on Twitter:
“ICYMI: Would be an upset of 5-12 proportions at this point if English isn’t @MasonMBB next head coach, per multiple sources including college hoops coaches”

Still want Archie Miller.
Or the coach from Vermont who does nothing but win.

Trey Wallace with Rocky Top Insider confirming Brice’s report. Wallace is reliable as well.

These reports indicate that Mason is interested, but is English?

If he isn't, then he's a closet Mason fan...

There's two of them.

Well DJ3 it certainly seems that way...

Please explain. He was coaching in the tourney less than 12 hours ago. I doubt he was answering many questions about leaving

Who just happened to start following two assistant coaches with deep roots in the DMV and Lamar Butler. Yeah I’m sure it’s purely coincidental ...

 

[bravesfan]

Please explain. He was coaching in the tourney less than 24 hours ago. I doubt he’ was answering many questions about leaving

Look back earlier in this thread. He's been following Lamar, Jai, Tony, and others for over two days now. Was following Dr. Washington before the Paulsen news was announced.

His Twitter activity leaked the news well before these Tennessee insiders did.

Y’all might be proven correct.
But I don’t want to jump to conclusions. Perhaps he was contacted and he’s doing his due diligence.

It's not over until he gets up to that podium, physical or virtual. Just ask Pat Kelsey.
