The season may be over, but there is always plenty to talk about on Rocky Top. And as the news broke that Bob Shoop was leaving Penn State to become Tennessee’s new defensive coordinator, Vols Twitter sounded off big time (and Penn State fans weren’t exactly silent about it either…). From fans to players to other influential names in sports media, it was quite the discussion. Let’s take a look at some of the best #Vol tweets, Shoop style!
I hope this PSU fan didn’t eat anything spicy beforehand.
If we lose Shoop to Tennessee I'll seriously throw up

You’re*
#BobShoop is a sellout. Glad your gone. Have fun screwing over UT with job searches after 2016. You'll look like a douche as a creamsicle

I think there were a lot of Vol fans like this yesterday.

Let the #StormShoopers hashtag begin!
I wanted us to hire @BobShoopUT not only cuz he's a great coach but also to piss off James Franklin #Vols #OrangeSwarm ##SchoopTroopers

On a serious note, how rare is it to get a coach to do this? Especially a highly sought-after one?

Not everyone was confident in the hire.
Not sold on Bob Shoop, I trust Butch and his leadership. Northwestern beat PSU and gave up 23 points to a really bad offense.#Vols #Shoop

Landing him will be one of Shoop’s top priorities for the next few weeks.

Even current safety Todd Kelly Jr. joined in on the Shoop puns.

One of Tennessee’s biggest recruiting targets knows Coach Shoop is for real.
Coach Shoop is legit.

Fox Sports personality Stewart Mandel thinks highly of the hire.
Tennessee just landed one of the absolute best DCs in the business, Penn State's Bob Shoop. And he walks into a lot of talent.

Bruce Feldman knows how big this is for Tennessee.
#PEnnState's Bob Shoop will be the #Vols new DC. Great hire for Tennessee.
