0:00.0	You are Locked on Balls, your daily podcast on the Tennessee Volunteers, part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day.
0:12.3	Welcome in to Locked on Balls, your team every day. My name is Josh Ward. Thank you for being here on today's show.
0:18.9	Today's show comes with good news. It has not been a week filled with good news for sure with the way things started on Monday and some of the developments since then with players entering the transfer portal. But on Thursday, Tennessee found its new athletics director. Tennessee hired Danny White from UCF. He's one of the most respected ADs in the country.
0:38.3	It's official.
0:39.0	He will be introduced on Friday afternoon by Tennessee Chancellor Donnie Plowman.
0:43.7	Tennessee moved quickly.
0:45.0	We're going to get some information coming up in just a moment.
0:47.8	Ryan Bass knows the UCF Athletic Department program and school very well.
0:52.6	He's going to fill us in on what we should know about
0:55.0	Danny White, Tennessee's new AD coming up in just a moment. And I'll go through some of the
1:00.4	information you might need to know about Tennessee's hiring process. Tennessee moved very quickly.
1:05.6	Contracts done. He's going to be making a ton of money. This is not a cheap move by Tennessee,
1:09.0	but that was part of the plan.
1:16.1	Go spend money. Go send a message that Tennessee is very serious about what it's trying to get done with Tennessee athletics after moving on from Jeremy Pruitt and Philip Fulmer.
1:20.6	So the Danny White era is about to begin. And my guess is that he's going to go find a new football
1:25.4	coach as quickly as he can. He said as much in his
1:28.8	statement when it was announced by Tennessee on Thursday. So I want to welcome to the show now,
1:33.4	Ryan Bass, who is the main anchor at 10 Tampa Bay. He's an alum of UCF and covered UCF for 247
1:41.0	Sports.com. Ryan, I really appreciate the time.
1:45.9	I know you had an interesting reaction.
1:52.2	What did you think when you saw the news on Thursday that Danny White was hired to be Tennessee's athletic director?
1:56.1	I mean, if interesting is like an alumni meltdown, I guess. So, I mean, the entire UCF fan base, I wouldn't say we didn't see this coming, but I don't know if we saw it coming at this point because Danny White is synonymous with UCF success.
