Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[orangesoda]

What OL coach? You talking about that mouth breather Jim Turner? UT isn't letting that happen

Chris Strausser from the Colts

 

[volinbama256]

watching the game last night.....

No matter who our coaching staff is next year, I gotta think things will look a lot different on Offense without JG... sorry, but true.

Watching Harris run the ball--- Crouch just needs to say F' it and move to RB... I know he's not anywhere as good as Harris, but he's good enough with the weight to be a bulldozer ... surely we can get someone at LB to replace him... Can you imagine having Crouch and Beckwith pounding the rock as a one two punch?

 

[Vols2DaWall]

It’s crazy how many coaches have already been fired that are better than our current coach who has done just about everything under the sun to get fired.

It's the sunk cost fallacy.

 

[rikberry31]

Again, how do you know they didn't talk to him?

When was he hired? They must have gotten a really big fish if they passed over Freeze.

i have never seen anyone like that

You telling us that Walmart is not in your town

 

[HankHill]

Some free advice. Until this investigation is wrapped up and Tennessee has made a public statement, I would be cautious on reading too much into to any information AP or Hubbs puts out.

This. I know for a fact they have lead on more than they know about the investigation. I understand why they aren’t spilling really any of it, but the way they are doing it is lazy. You mean to tell me there has been an internal investigation since November and The head coach hasn’t been approached yet?

Then you got Price....... I’ve never seen some Stan so hard for a flat out bad football coach.

 

[jordan4vols]

He won’t be fired until Friday at the earliest.

 

[VolGee4]

Doubt that. The job he wants is about to come. Open. Would be stupid to take another before seeing if he gets a shot at it.
This time next year he’s at a power 5 school.

You guys are getting sucked into what Hugh is creating himself. I don’t have a problem with him as coach because he is good. But it’s all generated by his own PR machine.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

When was he hired? They must have gotten a really big fish if they passed over Freeze.

You're moving the goal post again to try to win an argument, the original conversation was around whether or not Freeze was contacted/ interviewed by these schools.

 

[bullet20]

Ole Miss tried Freeze. Frankly I don't think Freeze is the coach that a lot of people on here are making him. I mean some are making him it to this elite coach and there is really no justifcation for it. He was an average coach at Ole Miss who had one really good season. Then toss in the baggage. He is the new Gruden.

I agree with the new Gruden part just because I know the admin is to stupid to hire him. But as far as his time at ol miss he did beat lord saban multiple times and thats better than anything pruitt or any of these other rejects can say or probably accomplish.

 

[OrangeDrip]

I'm sure there are people calling him but none of the open spots in the SEC are willing to take a chance on him.

Why do you think that is? I know the violations, but he’s good enough for Liberty, a Christian school. He’s good enough for the Finebaum show. He’s good enough to be on ESPN breaking down the National Championship. I just don’t understand myself.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Chris Strausser from the Colts

Why would he leave Indy for the same position on the college level that is a 365 day a week job?

 

[Batman1948]

No answer for #2?

Ansley was the highest paid DB coach in the NFL before we got him.

I originally said no one wanted Freeze and it is still true. Maybe next year.

He was morals when it fits his narrative, as if Pruitt doesn't have skeletons in his closet

 

[Volsfaninva917]

I originally said no one wanted Freeze and it is still true. Maybe next year.

You said no one even talked to him, thats not true. But in terms of him getting a P5 job, I don't see that happening any time soon

 

[Batman1948]

Freeze is begging for any job.

He's making a cool $3M at Liberty. I doubt he's begging anyone for a job.

 

[orangesoda]

Why would he leave Indy for the same position on the college level that is a 365 day a week job?

No idea.

 

[drvenner]

I’m actually hearing things could get interesting today between noon and 9 pm.

I am heron what you're saying!!

 

[volfan1631]

The only way i see Steele coming is either he has been promised something or they know who the next head coach is and he is fine with Steele coming and being the DC

 

[VolGee4]

Again, how do you know they didn't talk to him?

This was literally hours before Harsin was named as coach. I listen to a local radio guy who followed Hugh as a journalist at OM. He said this is Hugh’s MO to get info out.

 

[yabo]

Nobody -

UT Admin making decisions -

 

[TheBigOne10]

Opportunity is nowhere.

I don't think the upside out weighs the risk for most of major programs. The only thing worse than losing is major scandal.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Freeze said no. He has a very easy gig at liberty who not only is paying him well but gave him
His second chance. He’s not leaving for anything he doesn’t really want.
