Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Catbone]

Kiffin won’t happen and Brady isn’t even a HC yet. Not going down that road.

Freeze, Campbell, Napier, Fickell. Any one of those would be great.

 

[matts42012]

Do you think Freeze would get serious consideration?

Yes. But going to be hard to swallow with investigation ongoing.

 

[VolInDayton]

Its already been stated that he played there and wouldn't move and we just see things differently. I look at Coaches who have taken schools that you haven't heard anything from in a while and then see them have success like NW and Iowa State and even Costal Car. are worth a look. I think they earned that.

I understand what you are saying. I think we just have a difference in opinion on what Tennessee needs as a coach. I would not group Matt Campbell in with Pat Fitzgerald and Chadwell though.

Northwestern is a solid program in a awful division in football. They are never going to be great, but they will show up and play hard more times than not. Northwestern is a type of team that will win 9 games but get blown out whenever they have to play a team with atheletes. They don't do anything special but are fundementally sound.

 

[Volfanatic_20]

Hire freeze win 9 games min year one, stadium full and season ticket sales increase, fans take over bowl site for bowl game, pushes uga and fl for the east in year 2 and wins east by year 3. The answer is easy and HE WANTS TO BE HERE! Should be hired tomorrow.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I agree but muddy waters with our investigation. However with a freeze we could put some language in the contract to protect us.

Yes. And his issues were years ago. Who cares? And besides, Will Wade is at LSU right now. Hire a winner. It's long past time that we started winning again. freeze can win.

If word on the street is true, we could probably get an overall friendlier contract with HF

 

[SmokinBob]

I find this so funny because I have had a snake, field mouse and mole on the porch from the cats this week.

How’re you doin’?

 

[Volsfan895]

Kiffin won’t happen and Brady isn’t even a HC yet. Not going down that road.

Is the Kiffin thing because of Fulmer having a petty grudge?

 

[matts42012]

I'm really trying to understand why it was leaked to Trey Wallace of all people.

No leak. Even Hubbs said he had heard it but couldn’t confirm it. Trey could just confirm
It.

 

[matts42012]

Is the Kiffin thing because of Fulmer having a petty grudge?

We won’t go down that road...

 

[millst987]

I’m telling y’all, they hire Freeze and that buy out money is an afterthought next year

 

[volatil]

It’s so simple

 

[m1al]

Sounds like you hate him.

Nahh, I don't hate him. He just flips around like a flag on a pole.. I think it's been proven he's bogus and that he does it to annoy UGA fans.. Evidently they really do hate him..

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Bama trying to score before half? That's legal?

 

[KPT_VFL]

My list (no inside here as of now) would be:

1aFreeze
1bCampbell
Sark
Napier
Chadwell

Freeze would crawl here.

We all knew he would crawl here and now I’m sad because I don’t think our admin will hire him.

 

[Volfanatic_20]

If Bruce and Will wade are still okay to coach in your conference no reason Freeze shouldn’t be able to and as Matt mentioned you put the language in his contract to protect UT.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Yes. But going to be hard to swallow with investigation ongoing.

Boys (and girls) this is the best time to be a fan of TN vols football. Nothing better than lighting the beacons for a coaching search.

I'm assuming you weren't around in the late 90's.....

 

[Catbone]

Before the NCAA investigation was announced, I truly thought Pruitt was coming back. Now I'm almost certain he will be fired. UNLESS every one of our top choices at HC reject us

 

[PYSCHO]

Gruden can be a hard ass

He is a hard ass that was to be blue font.

 

[yabo]

I'm assuming you weren't around in the late 90's.....

I was born in ‘93 so not really haha

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

He can't even succeed at USC. What's he gonna do here?

Field an offense that can actually put points on the board. Hire a good DC and let's freaking ride!!!

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

My only reservation I have with the intentional leak theory is Trey would be the last person they would leak that to right? I mean, I’d be surprised if any influential member representing the interests of the University even truly know this guys name.

 

[escapegoat2]

Can anyone even IMAGINE an entire offseason with Pruitt still in charge? With the whole program under investigation? After finishing 3-7? With mass staff, if not player, turnover? Recruiting completely tanking?

I can't.

I mean I literally can't even IMAGINE what those 8 months would be like. Torture is the only word that even comes to mind.

Being in jail would be worse I suppose. But not much else. Maybe Prison?

This is not just a ho hum investigation here. General counsel of the university is involved. That’s above usual compliance and AD. I believe multiple ppl will be fired for cause and we will have some sort of reprocussion.
