Recruiting Football Talk VII

[knoxvol52]

Next Head Coach is doomed..

This is as epic as when John Wooden retired, UCLA has one title since...

 

[BSOVOL1967]

We should be able to secure a commitment now from George MacIntyre for the 2025 recruiting class... At least, that is what I think, logically speaking... That would start the ball rolling for our 2025 class, with George on board.

Going to be Lanning

All joking aside, even if a bunch of players do enter the portal, we don't have room without losing some ourselves. Even if we were to carry a full 85 (meaning we'd have to cut more scholarships another year with the sanctions), we would only have like 3-4 spots left. I think we were hoping to go with no more than 83 so we could at least count 2 against the sanctions. Sticking with that number, we have maybe two open scholarships? My personal opinion, we need those to solidify our OL. But who knows how the coaches will use them? Also, the coaches may know a few other guys from our team may hit the portal after Spring.

Dont pitch a fit

Scrolled past quickly, and then scrolled back and somehow knew this was you before I saw who posted.

I know we all know this, but @Freak is the man. Thanks for helping me figure out my tech issues today.

Cool. We only need 3-4.

Is Lanning dumb enough to follow Saban? Now for Kirby to go to the NFL and suddenly everything is up for grabs.

 

[franklinpence]

We must be using the same Zen playbook. It is what it is. We get who we get. Quid pro quo quo et quo.

This is great. I’m going to borrow it.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Ole Peanut Head Franklin would be a great hire. He can't win a big game.

 

[KptVFL]

Seems unlikely Bama was blindsided by this.

Think they already have their man?

I would not rule out Kirby.

 

[SugarCC]

He may be an alum, but he isn't a Tennessee fan, not really. He pretends to be when it benefits him, but he does not have fond feelings for UT. He has been approached many times to do things for UT and generally does not.

He's a fcukstick, and always has been. If not for Alabama inbreds, no one would've ever even known his name.

UT has it's share of stains...he's one of them. Any Vol fan that likes him, supports his show, shakes his hand whenever he's in town...you make me want to puke.

Blah Blah Blah, Facts, Facts, Facts, just get the best cruits and players and go kick arse and quit worrying about people's feewings.

Say what you want but this is wild

How? When you can cheat 10X what your competitors are allowed by the players you buy and the refs?

Yeah I'm hearing there is a successor but just a matter if he'll accept the job (hasn't been revealed who or whether he has or hasn't). As previously stated, Dan Lanning was at the CFP so take that as you will.

 

[GVol1966]

I've asked this before. Other than tradition, I don't see why the Alabama job would be better than HC at Tennessee. I can see why Texas, Florida, Georgia could be rated higher.

Because there’s no form of cheating they wouldn’t embrace, cover up or encourage,
And they have the help of SEC office there .

That would honestly be fine, we would be positioned well to run the East.

[Deebowbear]

The Tennessee coaches need to use this as leverage for Zalance Heard.

How about poaching some of the coaching staff I know some that need to be upgraded

 

[SugarCC]

I may be wrong, as I have been before...


Kirby Smart is not leaving Athens.

 

[Volnut]

Tune into to finebaum! Now

I’m sure it’s radio gold. I will have to listen to the podcast later.

 

[SpringBokVol]

I don't even know what this means:

 

[volinbama256]

Kiffy is killing himself right now... he would die to be considered, but he already pushed all his chips in by convincing the ole miss alumni to back the Brinks truck up and pay for this upcoming class... he can't go anywhere now! LMAO...
