Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Unconditional Surrender]

Steele got boat raced by Northwestern earlier this month.

 

[BloodShovel]

If You build it he will come!

 

[Kingston Vol]

Just like that week when Pruitt was allowed to hire Steele which meant him being fired wasn’t happening?

I never bought into that because I knew why Steele was coming in - and this seems different.

We'll see. It's just a very weird to go about this process.

 

[KeyVol14]

Been busy all day...what’s the word about potential HC? Please don’t tell me Steele is the option

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Good Lord WNML has some complete buffoons as personalities. Each show has one person that is complete dead weight. Ivens, Rice, Heather, and Jimmy are impossible to listen to each for their own reasons.

 

[orangerush]

Guys, it's steele.

Perhaps. If I’m a potential AD and not allowed significant input on the head football coach, why the hell would I come to TN?

Now it's a job search...

 

[volsnvikes]

AV's comments seem to indicate it would not be Kiffin.

Exhibit A:


Exhibit B:


Of course, opinions change and sometimes circumstances can change one's perspective, so who knows?

Did anyone else hear the Law and Order Duh Duh after reading this?

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Jimmy just said he thinks Steele is acting coach this fall

Jimmy is an idiot and only reads from his script.

We will come out of this in a better position in both AD and HC. Just how strong is the question. With Ingram, sky the limit.

The chatter seems to be that Gilbert is the favorite. I prefer Ingram, too. Just how likely is Ingram? Does he have a shot?

Mark* he’s a better coach than bob. There i said it.

It was only about 36 hours ago that everyone was convinced Pruitt was coming back next year.

Now we've already moved on to "They're gonna hire Steele! We're doomed!" I've never seen anything like the herd fear mentality that sweeps through here several times a day.

36 hours ago I was convinced JP was gone.
At the moment I'm convinced just as much Steele is our next coach

Rob Lewis:
"I would be fine with Lane but don’t believe Plowman will consider him, don’t think he’s a realistic option"

So Derek Dooley?

 

[yourstruly23]

The reining AP coach of the year wants this job.. you have one of better D coordinators on staff...
take your swings at the big fish, but don't over think this... if you swing and miss, call the guy this job is going to mean the world to..
this job is not going to be anymore attractive next year than what it is now.. candidate pool doesn't change at all next year IMO.. make the move now and lets roll

 

[VolInNorthCack]

That is the worst looking gumbo I have ever seen.

[InstrumentalVol]

Guys, it's steele.

You literally said for 4+ weeks Pruitt was coming back

 

[I4Jay]

The Fulmer praise was a way to not trash our only coach to win a modern era title. Phillip Fulmer was fired...in a nice way, but that was plainly clear.

We only hired Kevin Steele because we know that we need someone baby sitting this thing after 10 people got fired and players come back to campus. None of these moves to me resemble prior incompetence.

The extensions and bonuses happened on their watch...

we hope for the best, but what I’ve seen hasn’t convinced me the problems up top are gone

Me no want no mo Bama homer

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Serious question: why isn’t mark stoops a candidate?

He’s not leaving Kentucky when getting to a Bowl Game is like winning the National Championship over there.

 

[tn88volfan]

Remember back in December when we were ragging Auburn, about how dumb they were for firing Gus..... just to hire Steele? that is the life of a VOL fan my friends.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Ah, screw it, just let Steele be the guy - get this mess over with.

Let him hire a new OC or let Chaney do his thing 100% on his own.

Hire a DC you like or keep ansley and roll.

Manage the coaches.

lol. There it is. Submission. We are dead

 

[ClasslessVol]

People already assuming it’s 100% Steele and we don’t even have an AD yet. Lmao

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Happy to be wrong about that. Scared to be right about this one.
