Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[volfan1631]

That's where I'm at.

1A.Freeze- not sure if UT will, after Plowman's press conference. Still my #1.
1B.Kiffin- I don't trust him but I know he would turn us around quickly.

2. Bill O'Brien- I'm impressed with how he handled PSU

3.Chadwell- I like him but this ain't Myrtle
Beach.

I'm out on Napier, Malzahn, and Herman.

*Ingram needs to be the AD hire.

Chadwell intersts me. He could be a dud but could also be great. All great coaches were up and comers at some point. Does UT roll the dice with him?

I‘m still trying to figure out why they took questions yesterday. I thought the statements that Plowman and Boyd gave were enough, probably overkill actually. Then you have Fulmer up there having to answer questions describing Pruitt’s tenure and having no place to go with any of the answers. I really don’t understand why we keep repeating the same mistakes. They did this same sort of thing w/ the Title 9 round table deal. It’s comes across as very uncomfortable.

If it were me, I'd have just released a statement. Every unplanned sentence is a risk.

Meanwhile, they let Fulmer say that recruiting was good...

 

[Weezer]

Well they didn’t jump into the ncaa issues like we have


but the higher ups there wanting steele over Gus says a lot to me about what kind of coach Steele is today as opposed to 20 years ago. I’d be perfectly fine with him being our HC

Why? Higher ups make bad decisions all the time. How do you think we got into the mess we're in? Believe it or not, but sometimes the fans know what they're talking about. Our motivation is more about winning than theirs tends to be.

Recent Tennessee coaching hires.

1. Kiffin: Good coach, but bailed before he could build. Would have had us on probation
2. Dooley: Good staff evaluator, poor recruiter, wanted out
3. Butch: Good salesman, let things deteriorate beyond his control and had bad staff hires
4. Pruitt: Good coach, stubborn, poor program builder. Dirty recruiter.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

A random on Basillo's show said they are hearing 8 level 1, 10 number 2. Basillo said we should hppe its just that, he's heard worse.

Here is what you want. Mark Ingram for AD. He is incredible. Look at his record. He would be AD for YEARS and YEARS. Dream job.

HC wise will depend on AD. I like Lane with Steele as DC. Haslems with Manning leading search. Haslems close with Lane.

So put a number on it percentage-wise. We won’t hold you accountable (except for maybe Bruin who will set you on fire, hypothetically speaking, of course).

Does Ingram have any loyalty to Fulmer? That could be worrisome if they are really close

He played for him as a walk on

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Saw “Dan W...” and started balling fists.

Penny is triggered at your post

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Realistic options knowing what we know and who is involved:

Steele
Marrone
Gase
O’Brien

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

If you can't get a Herman or Neal Brown. How crazy is this, you go with Steele on a 3-yr deal, then you get a up and coming OC (Rhett Lashlee at Miami?) as head coach in waiting? Three years goes by, you get though santions, then you hand over the reigns.

I like this. This is a good scenario.

 

[orangesoda]

1 year bowl ban. 10 scholarships over 3 years or something like that

Just take the same punishment as LSU and North Carolina got

 

[Geronimo]

I like this. This is a good scenario.

Somebody credible run with the rumor and see how far it goes!!

I’m all in on Ingram. My dad works with a guy that is really good friends with him. Both were walk ons at UT. Great guy.

I trust those that get paid to make decisions more than us fans

I mean 3 years ago us fans loved Chip Kelly, scott frost, willie taggert and others That suck balls now.

Truth is all of us have been wrong many times on this. Both fans and administrators

the hires from within have worked at a much higher rate than others lately from
What I can tell

Has Fulmer ever taken any responsibility for anything he's been involved in? He takes all the praise and glory he can and sits there with his right hand stuck out in front of him like his ring is a shield.

Even as the house was burning down around him during that press conference he showed no responsibility for anything. He just accepted more praise.

You’re absolutely right.I am so mad with the praise they heaped on him yesterday.
Get his glad-handing ass out of the office and away from this program.

He’s so out of touch and has been for 20 years.

Thanks for the past but move out of the way and let’s work on now and the future.

Yes I’m being harsh but turning to him as AD was a major blunder. But it’s no shock coming from the people who have been continuously effing things up

 

[amazingGRACE]

I’m back for the coaching search boys. Couldn’t miss it.

 

[Playdo]

 

[advancedrescue27]

Not his best effort.

The blue font is not working

 

[FBtime]

Napier isn’t an exciting hire anyway.

We could do a lot better.

That's what everyone kept saying during the last coaching search and then we were turned down by nearly everyone we went after.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Feels like a Kevin Steele is our Matt Luke bridge.

We may absolutely need to settle in and take our medicine while we wait 2-3 years for the dust to settle
