Tennessee is not on Tim Miles' radar. Hadn't heard about Missouri, but I don't see any way that Tim would leave for what they have to offer.
I'm not buying it. You don't convince a guy to quit his HC job to be your assistant just to up and leave shortly after.
No, there's genuine chatter about it. KC Radio guys were suggesting Miles as a replacement for Haith and Miles has been suggested for UT http://www.cornnation.com/2014/4/16/5619386/tim-brando-suggests-tennessee-pursue-tim-miles
why could he not just keep his new assistant? and mizzou is a pretty good program. that might be tough to turn away.
