Recruiting Football Talk VII

[LA Vol]

And even then it’s only a small faction.

Most are in wait and see mode.

Oh, I think there's a pretty sizable contingent trying to find their spot on the disappointment to outrage spectrum. I'd hate to be UT interns weeding through that all that email tomorrow.

Are hardcore LV fans really this big of snowflakes?

There are some LV fans that think that if a person isn't connected to Pat somehow then it is an insult to Pat's legacy. My opinion is that Pat was a hard tough coach that cared about her players, the LV Program, WBB, The University of Tennessee, and people in general. She would want someone hired that fits those standards because they fit those standards, not because they are somehow related to her coaching tree.

That’s an analytic based system(NBA also believes in doing it that way…. It didn’t work against UCONN as well due to clingum in the middle.

Analytics are good "tools"...until they are not and your stupid rigidity gets your ass beat.

The NBA plays little defense and has no elite defensive teams...College still does.

No. I think very few people are mad UT went outside the LV family. It was time. They're mad about the person he hired.

They don't want a coach that has demonstrated the ability to win?

 

[InVOLuntary]

Lol, Cal Starks.

 

[Vols4us]

Tony Voltello and Josh Heupel - both young up and comers that are innovative with a history of winning where they have been.

Welcome to Rocky Top, Coach Caldwell.

I'm sorry to reply a 2nd time to your post but it's kind of bothering me. Are you saying Heupel is "kinda hot"?

Hahahaha just a joke.. it’s funny cuz everyone knows TV is the ladies man. At least I got a laugh out of it

This thread had a similar reaction when DW made his first hire here (myself included).

DW hires based on a coach's perceived hotness level.

I'd say it's working out pretty good so far...

Big Cal showing out today. Grand slam and a bomb three run HR.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

If Cal Stark hits 2 HR’s with 7 RBI’s it is definitely in the cards for TN to win

The last two coaches were more of an insult to Pat's legacy than this coach.

Dude...that is awesome...my grandaddy made me a John Wayne fan when I was a little boy and I remain one today, I have bought a ton of his movies digital copies and DVDs and sometimes me and my mother-in-law have a John Wayne marathon day.

The Searchers? Need to give that a go.

"I guess it coulda been worse..they could have asked me to dress up like a Liberal"....lolol..

He’s doing a damn good job

Winning in a less competitive conference with less talent is not the same as winning in the SEC. She'll have to recruit at a much higher level and she does not have the relationships with the kind of players we need.

Baseball team going for another 7 inning day.

 

[Glitch]

Bases juiced. No outs. Top of the 3rd.

Vols - 10
War Teagles - 3

 

[BearCat204]

I have learned to have faith in Danny White's vision in coaches. That and I dont care that much about womens BB, but probably should see how this hire turns out considering who did the hiring.
