If I unstand it right this does mean that 247 sport doesn't know what they are talking about?

[Vandysmith]

He has to understand that most of us want him to stay.

Yes, and he's also taking a pot shot at those of us who are concerned about the rumors. Stack showing more of those world class PR skills...

Does that statement qualify as a non-denial denial?

He apparently thinks it's about 94.2%.

[Foreverhopeful]

I'm still really glad to see this tweet from him.

[Vandysmith]

Why should we care, but we do.

[FayetteDore]

Interesting post by CJS.
1) It didn't flat out deny anything.
2) Who are these 5.8 percent of irrational and divisive VU fans? 8-)

[3rdFloorDyer]

5.8% sounds low

[Obvious]

5.8% sounds low

It’s 10% that will mess it all up for the 90%

[Vandysmith]

Is he calling the 10% that care about our program we love clowns ?

He’s saying a small percentage will start rumors and gossip, while he and his program has not mentioned anything about leaving Vanderbilt. If you don’t feel like you’re in the 5.8 % then don’t worry about it.

100% want success. He does great PR by attending the Masters to cheer on Sargent and by going to other Vandy sporting events. Then shoots himself in the foot by taking a shot at part of the fan base. - He's such a fighter that he can't help it, but its not as though he has proven anybody wrong.

Someone maybe oughta explain to him what this program went through when James Franklin left.

Vanderbilt fans have been through a promising coach who left before, and not all that long ago, and it was pretty awful, and it dragged on for weeks and weeks.

But I'm glad that he seems to be saying that he's not going anywhere!

[Obvious]

On Stack’s behalf there are probably people on social media already calling him a quitter and traitor based off of the 247 tweet. We don’t know the amount of hate mail or threats coaches and athletes receive.

I do like that he roasted the rumor mill media and us. I also like that he picked an arbitrary 5.8%. Recommend we make this a meme.

Also makes me feel like these rumors are actually affecting his ability to do his job. Seems like good PR. Even if he *was* under consideration and "the metaphorical pistons" moved on...Still tweet you're sticking with it when you know you are sticking with it!

[Vandysmith]

He can come out and say it not true, and not insult some of the fan base, if it not him saying this he need to have better oversite on who tweets for him.

[bernstml19]

I wonder if this is social commentary. We are the 5.8%.

[bernstml19]

Sure he COULD have done that. But it would be less funny and have less snark. I mean the guy dunked on people for 20 years. Why should yall be exempt?

[dorepleganger]

Please let "beguilement" live in Vandymania's lexicon for years to come!

I would have liked to see a donkey emoji before the clown emoji, though that is a style critique.
