OFF THE CAROUSEL: Tennessee Tech's Tobin Anderson on the upcoming season for the Golden Eagles!

In this episode of The Field of 68: After Dark Podcast, host Rob Dawson welcomes Tobin Anderson, the newly appointed head coach at Tennessee Tech, for his third appearance on the series. Anderson reflects on his whirlwind five-year coaching journey, including a one-year stint as special assistant to head coach Brian Hodgson at South Florida, where he gained valuable experience learning from Alabama’s fast-paced offensive system and refining his own coaching philosophy. He discusses his decision to return to the sidelines quickly after a coaching change, emphasizing his desire to grow as a coach and avoid stagnation. Anderson shares his excitement about joining the Southern Conference (SoCon), a league he praises for its competitive depth and passionate fanbases, and explains how he’s adapting to the culture of Cookville, Tennessee—embracing the community, building a loyal staff, and focusing on recruiting players who fit his vision. He also humorously details his new lifestyle, including daily lunches and indulging in local donuts and ice cream, while setting ambitious goals to revitalize Tennessee Tech’s basketball program and create a winning culture that galvanizes the town.
