Coachery

I just don’t like the guy. Same guy that flipped off the stands at Neyland.

He was just saying we are #1 knowing he was going to coach here eventually

Seems a stretch that Dr. Plowman would be ok with this. That pesky integrity thing, and all.

 

[VFL-82-JP]

We still think players are gonna be told before it's announced?

Almost positive they will. That seemed to be Danny's whole vibe.

Outside of Tennessee, perception is the Vols luring Franklin away from Penn St would be an absolute home run.

Stealing a Successful P5 HC from a top Big 10 program, one that had a successful HC stop in the SEC and in the same state.

One of the biggest hires in recent memory. Not quite as good as Bama getting Saban, but that’s the only one bigger. In terms of college to college, the biggest “flex” in 20 years

A&M stealing Fischer was pretty big.

Also on Franklin are we just not going to talk about this year at all..?

 

[VFL-82-JP]

Folks, it's not Franklin. It's not Fleck. It's certainly not Freeze or Kiffin. Can save breath even discussing those four.

We thought that was going to be Pruitt

No, actually we didn’t. Nobody I know expected anything but what actually happened. There is a reason he was never considered for other jobs.

If I were Stoerner, not only would I not directly answer your question, I would follow up later calling the source his friend's "barber." Or "butcher" Or "baker."

The more Stoerner can help obfuscate who his buddy and his buddy's source are, the better, I think.

Agreed dont dox anyone. Its morally wrong.

For OC?

Poster said it’s not Franklin, was asking if the plane be going after Yurchich then? He’s been interested in HC jobs at smaller schools. He’s a really good OC, I don’t know about him as HC tho

 

[BeardedVol]

A&M stealing Fischer was pretty big.

A&M didn't steal Fischer so much that the FSU admin pissed him off, and he'd finally had enough.
"You can have Vince Lombardi, Tom Landry, Chuck Noll — you can have the greatest coaches in the world. But if your administration doesn't see things the way you see things and allow you to do things that way, nothing can be achieved."

There is no plane we can track connected to any moves being made to secure our next head coach.

How do we know this? Because Danny White has in previous lives on previous coaching searches proved that he is a wily, canny dude who strongly prefers to keep his cards right up against his vest. He wouldn't in a million years use or allow others involved in the search to use any plane that we fans might consider tracking. It's not like it's a great secret that fan bases try to track planes, after all

This quote by Jimbo Is exactly why comparisons between the coach we hire and the previous 4 coaches should be avoided. The AD matters.

But we had PLAYERS flip off the Bama fans in the stands. Remember Gauldin? That has little bearing on whether he can coach and HE CAN COACH.

Classless move by Gauldin, too.

I expect more from an adult leader like Franklin. I think he’s a turd.

UT has been more the opposite. We have money, we have facilities, we have the fan base, the admin has been terrible at hiring the ADs, and the ADs have been terrible at hiring the coaches.

Danny white may be good at deception, but he better not underestimate the vol fan base lol

A&M stealing Fischer was pretty big.

Sort of. Fischer had a known contentious relationship with FSU, and FSU lacking in resources, I never viewed that as a coup. More like getting out before the fall kind of thing

LOL. He was able to "achieve" a national championship with that administration.

I don't think he's underestimating us. That's why I'm pretty sure he's not using any planes we'd be able to track. He has great faith in our ability to sniff things out hehe.

Then again, I don't know if he knows about the periscope.

I agree with you. I’d lean toward that plane is not flying anywhere today. Just booked a flight plan knowing it would be picked up.

It's also possible the $75 Million contract had something to do with it.

Are these from today, or from the last ‘leventy-seven Big Announcements?

Today according to posters on The Checkerboard, several different guys are saying it. TFWIW obviously, I'm just passing it along.
