Also liked Matts post about Ingram.

Also liked Matts post about Ingram.

And another one about Kiffin.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

He helped hire Donnie T and was part of the renaming of Lady Vols. Also he has done nothing at ECU.

Sounds like a real winner.

So, why is he the betting favorite? Oh, because we're Tennessee.

Most of us want Ingram so of course he wants Gilbert. If we wanted Gilbert he would want Ingram. That’s his entire trolling game. Pick the worst side and argue that side relentlessly with anyone that will pay attention. He’s been doing this for many years. Blows my mind he’s not on everyone’s ignore list.

It blows my mind the amount of emotional energy it takes to argue endlessly with everyone!!! Even light hearted stuff argued relentlessly would wear a normal person out.

And another one about Kiffin.

Ffffff, nvm... Abort!

Sadly, UT ALWAYS makes the wrong decisions in regards to football. So being contrarian means you're gonna hit on most of your takes if you wait long enough. Doesn't make it any less annoying, though.

To be completely fair, the prior AD at ECU (Compher) was pretty bad and is why ECU went so far down hill. Compher isn’t even an AD anywhere anymore, last I read he started working for some Chicago firm. I still think Ingram is the better choice for our AD spot.

 

[BruinVol]

Bruin has notably bad takes. The very fact he supports Gilbert pushes me even more in the Ingram direction, and that's where I was to begin with. No one here should want to revisit Tyndall or that whole Lady Vol catastrophe.

Wtf are you talking about ?


I firmly in the Ingram camp. I want Ingram over gilbert

is that easy enough for you to read ?

 

[BJWeeks]

No...Reid Sigmon.

Ok thanks

 

[Catbone]

Yep. Next year might end up being the best year. It’s going to get worse before it gets better

For once we agree

 

[Orange Studs]

I missed Matts post. Did he feel that Ingram could be the one?

 

[BeecherVol]

Not just Oklahoma he's had to contend with recruiting-wise. TAMU has that SEC draw for Texas recruits, not to mention several other good programs in state.

Yeah he has more schools to contend with than in the past for recruits but its not like he hasnt found enough.
His last 3 classes were #8, #3, and #3.

His problem was losing games to schools recruiting in the 40's and 50's.

You know I respect those that ignore me and don’t post about it


This a pathetic post from a guy that doesn’t even read my post but then post about what I said.

and guess what?

I didn’t say it!!!!



I am not for Gilbert!

I want Ingram!

now stfu about things you don’t know

 

[DustyRockSolid]

He helped hire Donnie T and was part of the renaming of Lady Vols. Also he has done nothing at ECU.

Oh? Sounds like a tennessee man to me.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Hiring Steele with Kiffin and Freeze available is the biggest nut punch imaginable. And something UT would totally do

I've already prepared myself for it. If we actually, somehow, some way make a decent hire, ill be pleasantly surprised.

Ingram -> ???? -> Kiffin = profit

Accurate in its entirety

 

[drylo]

Peyton won’t go after Lane. If he has a say in this, as many media have alluded to, you really think he’s gonna poach Kiffin from Ole Miss and the rest of his family? Not a chance. We’d all be better off to accept that fact now.

Lane back to UT, Freeze back to OM.

Probably not likely, but while we Steele have hope...

 

[Jimmy Football]

Also, if it’s true that the Haslams had a hand in deposing the Fulmer regime, there’s zero chance they’re going to install a Fulmer guy as the next head coach.

 

[Weezer]

If Steele is ultimately the guy then I will initially be underwhelmed with the hire because I think this job needs someone with significant head coaching experience at Power 5 conference, but I would reserve judgment until I saw what staff he hired; especially on the offensive side of the ball.

His record at Baylor was 20 years ago and done with both hands tied behind his back and blindfolded from an institutional perspective because Baylor just didn't care about winning. If he doesn't take that job 20 years ago I'd imagine he would be a much better looking candidate.

And he is older and seemingly calmer than Pruitt; someone coaches would want to work for, players want to play for and fans can embrace. He doesn't strike me as a hot head who will shoot first and ask questions later.

If Steele is the hire I fully suspect we will suck forever. Not even an all-star staff hire will convince me otherwise. The only thing that would sway me is is results on the field and I don't see that happening. I'll always cheer for my Vols, but I might actually have to find other ways to spend my time because I can't continue to kill myself getting upset by all the suck UT has given us.

Don't forget that Kevin Steele faints before/during games and also had a mental breakdown mid-game when WVU hung 70 on Clemson

Well dang....how many of yall don't have a mental breakdown mid-game?

 

[m1al]

I realize this is asking an awful lot, but for once, can this place see what happens first, before it freaks out?


Thanks in advance.....

 

[yabo]

Ingram - AD
Kiffin - HC
Chaney - OC
JG - RB Coach
Steele - DC
Garner - DL Coach

Would be an absolute winner IMO.

 

[Garren04]

They are going to trot out Gilbert and Steele, but we’re serious about winning lol.
