I havent seen much discussion on this, but according to rivals, Lance Thompson was recruiting Ambles. Was he recruiting Da'Rick too? If so, I think he could be up for recruiter of the year. He has 7 commitments now. If he helps to land both these guys, that's two 5 stars, Three 4 stars, Three 3 stars and one 2 star. Not to mention the work he did after Kiffin left to keep players on board. Just my opinion though and correct me if I am wrong on any of this.

Just keeping Ambles away from Kiffin should get him recruiter of the year.

He should get head recuriting job for Tenn with the job he has done and a raise.

Lance Thompson is a great recruiter and coach. If someone deserves a raise its him (and Chaney) for sticking around through this mess and really keeping UT from completely falling off the board as far as recruiting goes...

Yeah I agree. They really worked hard to keep this class together. I hope MH has the backbone to give them some money the next time another team comes knocking.

i would fix CLT and CJC contracts to give them more years and a raise and keep them on board for the long term. The really saved things.

And give him a shot at DC. He is the man. :bow2::bow2::bow2::bow2:


GBO!!!!

Apparently a little too late for that, but he should be recruiting coordinator and have an extension and a raise in his future, Chaney as well.

Definately agree with you guys, I think he saved this years class. Thank you, Coach Thompson!!!!

His abilities won't go unnoticed......schools will be coming after him this next year.....maybe as a HC somewhere. Good hire for some small school, and a little surprised his name didn't pop up for some of those jobs this passed year.

CLT for Heisman!!! oh, uhm, well RC then and a raise :biggrin: this guy can recruit lights out I don't see how he doesn't get recruiter of the year IMO.

I think he could be promoted to RC in time. And I hope he keeps that in mind. He could be Dooley's right hand man while he is here. Here is to many fine recruiting classes ahead!

I'm all for giving him a recruiting coord. title, but not so much for giving him a shot at DC. We are Tennessee, we aren't a school that gives people their first big break. We need someone who's done the job before.

i am hoping there would be no issue with him not getting the DC job, if its true and he doesnt get it. he has truly done an amazing job in the wake of all the BS

I was going to start a thread saying basically the same thing, that LT and JC need to be credited and awarded for the work they've done since kiffy and ogre left. I would have said it more eloquently and from a much better looking OP, but still.... :)

LT already makes like $375 thousand a year I think. That is a pretty high salary for a non-coordinator position coach even in the SEC.

My first post here, and I believe these two guys are Hero's during this trying time.
They deserve the best, and its up to the fans to plug them every chance they can.

Dooley is what the Vols need, lets crush the opponents on and off the field.

Lance Thompson, thank you from all Vols' fans.

We very much appreciate how hard you have worked. I (personally) hope you get a large raise in salary...and if you're a "I want a title" guy....I hope you get that also. You have been such a pleasure to watch as a coach and a recruiter. We are proud of your efforts. I hope you get recognition from every direction...but mostly, I hope you stay and work for the University of Tennessee. You are needed and appreciated. :eek:k:

TOTALLY AGREE!!! The main reason I was against Cutcliffe and the reason I was for Dooley was keeping these 2!
