Taj79 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Wade was an assistant under Shaka from 2009 to 2013 when he moved on to the HC job at Tennessee-Chattanooga in 2013-14. He went 40-25 while there including 27 - 7 in two years in the SoCon where he was the 2014 SoCon COY. Kind of an internal hire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like more of a gym rat than Shaka, which should meet the approval of some on this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheA_Bomb Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Looks like a good hire. The Mocs are often a buy game for SEC schools. It's a HBCU, I think. VCU had this thing working for them so it's nice to see if they can keep it going. Players won't have to transition to a new defense and offense (I'm assuming).

I'm living in TN, and UT Chatt is a school for white hipsters that want to go rock climbing and eat hummus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACE Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 What's up with making this about race???? You would have to ask MB and others what they meant when they described Shaka as playing "thugball" or "streetball" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hsmith19 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Even getting past the gym rat thing (because I don't see color, obvi) Wade bears a passing resemblance to Archie Miller with better hair. So maybe the Dove sponsorship will still be in play after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slufan13 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Wade is a good hire. Young, but actually has a good amount of experience as an assistant and a couple years as a head coach. The problem is that if he does well, the power 5 schools will be calling in another 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
