KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Tennessee's coaching position had just become available when Donnie Tyndall received a text message urging him to pursue the job.

This particular message did not come from Tyndall's agent. It instead was from his 11-year-old daughter, Grace Elizabeth. Her note said in all capital letters that "THE TENNESSEE JOB IS OPEN. HINT, HINT."

"Certainly this is a job that was on my radar - and Gracie's too," Tyndall said Tuesday at his introductory press conference as Tennessee's coach.
