'25 NC OT David Sanders (Tennessee)

[TheMookieMonster]

The only silver lining of a Sanders flip is that it would hopefully ignite a fire under Josh’s ass to make necessary staff changes that he has been avoiding like the plague. If Sanders does flip and Glenn keeps his job, then at least I can rest easy knowing I have my answer to whether Josh can make tough decisions, which tells us more about our ceiling as a program.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Or swing that money back to the guy we lost to Oregon?

I was gonna say that but wouldn’t Oregon just out bid us again

 

[MrVolton]

Huepel has stayed in house for offensive assistant hires, but did not do that on defense. Defense has gotten better, offense has regressed. May need to go outside for some offensive hires to take the next step as a program.

 

[KB5252]

This isn't good. Particularly for the weakest link on Heupel's coaching staff.

So, we all of a sudden cheering for Indiana today?

I have to agree here. I don't think Sanders sticks with us. Not sure what Josh is gonna do but I don't think he will fire his friend.

 

[NighthawkVol]

lol I figured some guys would look around after that UGA mess.

Oh well. Nothing is a surprise for us Vol fans at this point.

If we lose Sanders, you have to GO ALL IN on that kid that decommitted from FSU

Who is that? I know there has been talk of Solomon Thomas flipping, but he’s a guard. Is there someone else?

 

[almirUT]

Yikes

I think too much is made of the friend thing. All of these guys are friends. Even coaches of different programs. Josh needs to do what Josh needs to do for the program.

Its different when the guy was part of your wedding.

Kid could potentially start here next year.

Guess he wants to waste multiple years sitting. OSU returns everyone on the OL next year.

Was talking about Thomas, says OT on 247 or thought it did….

Need to land a stud OL.

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Was this just completely out of left field? I thought the family had praised the staff throughout the process. Is it just money? If so then match the offer and move on.

He could be looking at whether Tennessee is really headed to the top more than he's looking at playing as a freshman.

 

[Frosty]

Ah haha. What a way to ruin my morning

What suggest we are not heading to the top?

 

[Frosty]

What suggest we are not heading to the top?

“Omg Heupel couldn’t close out against the most talented team in the country, In prime time. On the road, while they were also in an elimination game.”

Lol exactly. Also Georgia hasn’t lost a home game in 5 years I’d like to see teams like Ohio state or Oregon come to Athens and beat them if that is the barometer for being on top…

 

[UneducatedGuess]

Sanders is at OSU recruiting flips for Tennessee.

 

[GoodTimeVol]

What suggest we are?

Going 10-2 with a shot at a playoff seems pretty topish to me, idk what is your take?

I was just looking for your opinion. That’s all.

I have no take.

Someone said it was in the works the last few weeks. King said a lot of it is driven by his agent/handler.

 

[Vawlz]

This isn't good. Particularly for the weakest link on Heupel's coaching staff.

It’s a fireable offense if he flips. OL has been the most glaring deficiency since Heupel took over.

If Josh wants to keep his job, Ellerbee needs to go.
