UT Athletic Department Is In Capable Hands

  • Tuesday, June 6, 2023

Thanks to Mark Wiedmer for his article on Danny White. It certainly appears that Dr. Danny has the UTAD clicking on all cylinders.

I would also say kudos to the current university administration. Randy Boyd and Donde Plowman are responsible for hiring Danny and bringing him to Knoxville.

As a fan, student and alumnus for over 70 years, I have never seen my alma mater in such capable hands. Donde is the Andy Holt of the 21st Century. If you attended UT in the 60s you know there is no greater compliment than being compared to Andy Holt.
