Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

No way he isn’t gone. Could you imagine Neyland next year with this guy? LOL.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

It’s been stated over and over it’s over his head. “Above his pay grade” so to speak

Even if the decision is above his head. The fact that his vote would be to keep JP—inexcusable

 

[SpringBokVol]

TB saying two names to watch are O’Brien and Marrone

This will absolutely be the kind of hire this admin makes. Get ready.

 

[GojiraVol17]

Bob Stoops needs to unretire and come to Tennessee.

I don’t see it but it would literally change everything

 

[HankHill]

No thanks on Mark Stoops. But anyone else, for sure yes.

Why not on stoops? He is recruiting better than Kentucky ever has before. Destroyed us, he’s beaten Florida. He recruited a ton of the guys at FSU that Pruitt reaped the benefits from. The guy won 10 games at Kentucky lol.

I get he’s not a sexy name or whatever but the guy can flat out coach and develop.

 

[UTSuave’]

Tony basilio wants Freeze.give us freeze

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

I do wonder where this Bob Stoops random name drop came from. That does have me interested.

 

[GojiraVol17]

I don’t disagree. At all. And I love Phil

 

[clt_tiger]

Freeze, Fleck, or mark stoops.
Would take gus happily.

Campbell trumps them all but i think that’s too unrealistic.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Lol good job BleacherReport

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

And they deleted my poll that had nearly 100 votes.

I swear they do this to every thread I post. @Freak hates me

Let’s discuss it on the podcast.

 

[UTK]

I'm sorry, I get O'Brien shouldn't be name number 1 or 2. But it wouldn't be a bad hire imo

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Basilio said there was a little incident 6 weeks ago they've been digging into. He said they've been trying to figure out how to get him with cause.

 

[appyvol]

I'm sorry, I get O'Brien shouldn't be name number 1 or 2. But it wouldn't be a bad hire imo

Meh. Would rather have Gus.

 

[UTK]

Lol good job BleacherReport

Enjoy Rutgers or Arkansas State lol

 

[GVol1966]

Doug Marrone Jags coached. Was on Fulmer's staff 20 years ago.

Anyone on Fulmers staff should be removed from consideration

 

[UTSuave’]

Tony B saying Pruitt firing is a hit job,the university has been trying to fire him with cause for about 6 weeks which fits the timeline of when things started going bad.

 

[revjayp]

Austin Stanley believes that Gray and Maurer will be entering the portal next.

 

[Catbone]

@Atlanta VOL @LA Vol so with us under investigation does that impact our POTENTIAL upcoming coach search in a negative way? Also, moving forward will we struggle recruiting because of the investigation?

 

[Weezer]

1. I don’t think lane is half as good of a hc as this board makes him out to be.
2. I think it’s more likely we hire gruden than lame.

Yet you're pushing Mark Stoops? I'd take Bob Stoops in a heartbeat, but Mark???

 

[BearCat204]

Please no. There was a group that formed in those Gruden threads that became insufferable thinking they ran it.

 

[Batman1948]

Did you see the time of poss.?it was double A&M[/QUO
The number of plays is what got me. I didn't think it was possible for another team to have an advantage of over 40 plays

 

[volatil]

“Several BIGTIME donors in town this weekend tells me the smoke is pretty real. I think JP has a good relationship with Charlie Anderson but not sure how well he has bonded with others. This internal deal is rough timing for JP imo.”

- Price

He gone

I think he is a good developer, but I wonder can his offense keep up. He seems a lot like Jimbo and old school Saban of control clock offense. I think he could win here and be consistently an eight win coach, but I don’t see him ever getting over the hump. But I wouldn’t dislike the hire. He is 100x better than Pruitt. I just like Freeze, Campbell, others more.

@Atlanta VOL @LA Vol so with us under investigation does that impact our POTENTIAL upcoming coach search in a negative way?

TB thinks it does. He thinks it rules our Freeze and Chadwell.
