Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[VolMike16]

Do you think the Head Coach search is done?

Hope he answers yes to that as well.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Jason Witten!!! what? why ??


Kidding, we'd be happy to have you bru. So long as it isnt Kevin Steele.

You would rather have Witten as a HC over Steele?

 

[RikidyBones]

Bridges burned

Not with the Haslams. Might matter heavily. Former players are on board too.

 

[BruinVol]

Yes

Ok its clear AV thinks the AD job and coach is already lined up and I hope like heck he’s right on this

If that’s the case the reports of plowman taking her time vetting the candidates using the search firm are wrong

 

[BruinVol]

It might

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Wish more guys had this kind of attitude

 

[Kingston Vol]

Yes

Got it.

I know Gilbert and Ingram have been contacted. Really hope it’s Ingram.

For any bettors out there. BetMGM TN has a boost on TN beating Florida by 10 or more (-9.5) at +200. The basic spread is -7.5 at -110, so it's a good deal for those confident in the vols.

 

[daj2576]

If they hire Steele then they essentially let Fulmer make the next hire

Maybe that was the trade off to get him to leave?

 

[Z06VolinWV]

Yes

So is the search firm just a PR formality?

 

[HankHill]

Got it.

I know Gilbert and Ingram have been contacted. Really hope it’s Ingram.

Sell me on Ingram

 

[BruinVol]

If he wants to go let him go along with any one else. I do not blame them a bit.

Agree

 

[RikidyBones]

Sell me on Ingram

Not currie or Hart

 

[Weezer]

Maybe that was the trade off to get him to leave?

I think the trade off to get him to leave was either retire or you're fired for cause.

 

[Jackcrevol]

You would rather have anyone as a HC over Steele?

Yes. Hell yes.

 

[Kingston Vol]

So is the search firm just a PR formality?

You could tell they were not using the search firm by the way Plowman addressed it in the press conference. They already had a target.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the firm was hired for head coaches and we released it as we hired them for the AD search. A little trickery.

And florida is without Scottie Lewis

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Yes

Is there a timeline for announcing the new AD? I would assume if what you say is true then the deal is probably in the finalizing phase. Maybe next week?

 

[blued125]

Yes

Do we think Steele will remain as HC?

 

[VolMike16]

Sell me on Ingram

Oversaw a literal dead program and revived it?

 

[Atlanta VOL]

I'm still scared @Atlanta VOL is going to be in handcuffs after the investigation is through

Thank you for the concern. However no laws have been broken...

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Yes. Hell yes.

Why?

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Yes

I know you get alot of questions. Can you at least tell us if the AD hire gets announced before the weekend?

 

[headhunter15]

TIFWIW Trey Wallace saying Henry T on campus with Family meeting with compliance to discuss future.

Did he or his family take benefits?

TIL the infamous "line" from Star Wars, "Luke, I am your father" was never actually said in the movie. As a fairly big SW fan, I sure feel stupid now. I never noticed that Vader says, "No, I am your father".

Darn you, Chris Farley. The Mandela Effect got me.
