There is not a shot in hell Ryan leaves Ole Miss for Tennessee. It's like the wild west there and he can do whatever he wants. Why would he make a lateral move to have less money to work with and have to be under someone else's supervision??? He probably makes somewhere around what BAS made at Tennessee (which was doubled for Ross). Connie gives him all the money and freedom he ever wants. The only reason Ryan would leave Ole Miss is to start a pro group. Period.
Ross will not bring in a big name distance coach... that would mean he would have to share scholarship for distance runners.
