Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

Either is times better than no match up.

And we were near percent certain to have no bowl game just a month ago. Amazing.

These Vols didn't choose how their season would start, but they are deciding how it will end. These guys are putting a STAMP on this program.

Tell it, Chargerman!

 

[Jackcrevol]

I would pass on it if I were him.

Dooley needs to stay in SEC.

he is pure unadulterated garbage.

 

[Pepe]

That job is much much harder imo

Why, they have an entire state to themselves including Memphis

[LA Vol]

Dooley isn't a great recruiter. He doesn't really like it and it's definitely not his strong suit.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Told you guys you were selling Ky short but no no it was all RAH RAH
Better hope we play better on both sides of the ball in the 2nd half.

Chaney's play calling was sorely lacking in the first half
Better find a way to spy that QB with someone who has some speed.

Nailed it....

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I want Michigan in the bowl game

Horrible home recruiting base
They have to play A&M, LSU, Bama, and Auburn every year
They have a crap brand as well

TaxSlayer Gator Bowl
TIAA Bank Field, Jacksonville, Florida
Jan. 2, 7 p.m., ESPN
Bonagura: Tennessee vs. Illinois
Schlabach: Tennessee vs. Iowa

Thoughts????

Remember last time a 7-5 UT team played Iowa in the Tax Slayer bowl????

Yeah we know...

Yeah butch jones made a bunch of promises he couldn’t keep and derailed the program.

They were far better than we were during the 60s and 70s on average

 

[MoCo_Vol]

@MoCo_Vol That said, I think the idea is correct. I went through the same page and just counted on hand and came up with...63. They are discounting projected RSs and injuries. Doesn't feel honest, but whatever.

I mean, if they are RS or injured they can't play. So I don't think it's dishonest for the staff to say "we got about 63 guys right now"

But again, I went by the 247 scholarship distribution page...so who knows how accurate it is and how many they list are even actually on scholarships right now.

Thought you lost your mind at first, but there is a possibility. OSU will run them and Indiana could beat em too, leaving them 8-4. Knowing their instate rivalry, Mich St will play them tough as well.

If we win out and they lose 2 or more, the chance is there. Would be cool. 100x better than Indiana or Iowa or Illinois.

 

[85SugarVol]

I would love to have him as the slot WR..OMG..the dude is slippery as an oiled up eel and a tough runner on top of that.

Bowden was a Top100 player from Ohio coming out of HS. Would have loved to have him at Tennessee.

How in the world did he end up at Kentucky?

[Cosmo Kramer]

Same way Justin Rogers is

Kroger bucks are hard to pass up

 

[Batman1948]

I believe they stopped paying bielema though. Something about him not looking for a job that would pay the same?

He's an assistant coach in the NFL. He has Butch beat.

Big difference between saying we have 63 guys that can play and 63 scholarship guys. But, I really believe I heard the original statment as 63 healthy scholarship guys.

SECN just said we have 63 scholarship players which is bs and makes us sound like a scrub program. Stupid.

Fwiw 247 page lists a bunch of walkons as their mods have stated in the past, idk why..but note they are on the 2019 page, if you change to that. Stay on the deafault 2020 page and things are correct.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Dudes. I hate heights.

 

[JCP201]

Michigan or Texas would be interesting but one game at a time. We need to beat Mizzou.

Vols Appear in Several Bowl Projections After Kentucky Win | RTI

 

[Batman1948]

Wonder if Jerry Jones will push for Dooley to be the next head coach of Arkansas?

Didn't he fire Dooley? He was the WR coach for the cowboys for a few years after he was fired from Tennessee.

 

[Pane di mais]

He would absolutely get my 2nd place vote if we win out.

Orgeron
Pruitt* if we win out
Mullen
Malzahn

I think have been the best coaching jobs this year. Auburn’s schedule was absolutely brutal this year. Maybe the hardest in the last few years.

I agree with Hank on this one.

Also, your guy at Minnesota did a great job beating Penn St. Just because I call him "blow my boat" doesn't mean he didn't or that I don't think he did. Giving you props on that one.

No. Dooley left on his own.
