Danny White needs to be forward thinking

[volgr]

I think Danny White has done a great job thus far and seems to be a forward thinking kind of guy. If I were in his shoes, I would be looking to setup my football program like a NFL team.

He needs to hire a football GM and some scouts.

Tennessee has literally had this for at least 10 years. The person‘s job may not be “general manager“ but that’s exactly what it is. You have people on staff in the recruiting office that only scout high school players, and you have people in the scouting department that watch film on players at all levels of college and have a list ready to go of players they would want to target if they entered the portal and players that they think will be available when the portal opens.

People in the industry were laughing at the Bill Belichick notebook deal when he was talking about first looking at the North Carolina job. Something like that would’ve been revolutionary 10 years ago, but it’s standard operating practice today. He may be successful at North Carolina, he may not, but What he wants to do is not the game changer it once would have been.

They dont need something like a NFL operation, they actually need exactly that.

Raise the talent fee to 20%. That will do it surely.

Doesnt matter what you raise the fee to be if there isnt an organizational structure in place first.

It is easy to see that our portal game is being terribly mismanaged and lacks any significant organizational structure.

Are you saying UT is set up in the same manner as how Belichick will set up his operation at UNC? If so, someone is struggling at their "GM" role.

How are they struggling?

I was wondering about this. Who is currently playing the role of GM? Identifying holes, defining budget, and then strategically allocating budget to fill holes?

At one time, Spyre was (I believe) a separate, independent entity. Is that no longer the case?

It is mindblowing watching people panic over something they clearly have no idea about.

Maybe they can bring in lil Wayne. Looks like he’ll be representing Travis Hunter.

It definitely turned out to be a lot different than what people thought they were supporting. The players definitely deserve a piece of the pie but it’s gone full blown ridiculous in a heartbeat.

You don’t think we have scouts? Who do you think watches all the high school film?

Heard we hired Connor Stalions.

I can remember when White Danny first got here, he had a hard time getting head coaches and their representatives interested in the Tennessee job, he even stooped so far as to reach out to James Franklin, which is better suited to being a Big 10 coach rather than an SEC coach, had to reach out to his old coach from Central Florida to make a hire into the boiling cesspool that Fulmer and Cornbread had created, such that White Danny needs to address various issues percolating through the program, the NIL concerns, the transfer portal so as to keep the Tennessee job "interesting" in the marketplace, particularly after having been blown out in the first round of the playoffs, a difficult odd year schedule coming up with trips to Gainesville and Tuscaloosa, where Heupel has never won, a problematic offense that will be severly challenged to do better on the field and on the scoreboard than they did this year.

That was one sentence?
