According to TOS JR Sandlin is no longer the Director of Recruiting for football

[GiveHimSixGoVols]

Anybody know what the reason for his being replaced? Seems to me he was doing a pretty good job so far.

Guys doing an amazing job! We need him here...

 

[DocVOLiday]

Maybe he wasn't good by CBJ standards? And he wants to bring in a guy he likes better

 

[CA_Vol]

FSU probably offered him less money to jump ship. Oh wait, that's only for former players...

 

[ACvol3]

Is that the dude from bama? Maybe butch learned what he needed from him(tricks of the conference), and is done with him now.

 

[sammyhagar]

not a big deal.

Too soon!

Is the sky falling again?

 

[Cyclopskiller]

The moon looks closer.

 

[volfanCLT]

Fire CBJ!

 

[Boca Vol]

Sandlin doesn't "get it."

 

[volscb3]

Caught him taking a lunch break.

 

[oregonvol]

Maybe Byron Moore wanted the title

Shoot, give it to Thig!

My guess is the average age of the posters in here is around 10 or 11. Every conversation doesn't need to be turned into a joke.

 

[Majorvol23]

I'm going to continue to panic until someone convinces me otherwise ... Not quite 'couch burning' worthy, but, I'm not drunk yet either

 

[Catbone]

In all seriousness how big of a deal is this?

Unlikely to have much of an impact. It's not like he was going into living rooms

He handles a lot of the marketing. The "Rise to the Top" thing was his idea, the 102 letters to the recruit was his idea(he did it sort of at bama), as well as a lot of other stuff. Everything you see Tennessee doing right now is his plan. He's working close with Butch and advising on how to Tennessee more visible with recruits. Not saying he makes or breaks Tennessee recruiting, but he's done a VERY good job so far.

Boom!!!

Or

The sky is falling!! Fire CBJ!!!

I'm so confused on VN these days

But it's still essentially a marketing position

I just hope this isn't the result of some violations we haven't heard about yet.

What is this, the mafia?

Basically. He organizes how to effectively communicate to the recruits. He really is the best in the country. It's easy to get a program visible and communicate to individual recruits, but he does it very effectively.
