Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[matts42012]

not sure if you guys missed it, but @Atlanta VOL confirmed the AD search is over...

I believe that to not be accurate.

 

[BruinVol]

We have tried it with complete outsiders before. Disaster.

Sadly the Dave Hart years are our best in a long time. Nothing has really worked lately

 

[matts42012]

What are Ingram’s chances?

50/50.

 

[Nuctech777]

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.....

Request denied.

 

[BruinVol]

Accurate in its entirety

Lol

Except it’s not:
In fact it’s was entirely wrong since I have very clearly said I want Ingram.

 

[m1al]

I believe that to not be accurate.

Not sure that's exactly what he said... People also saying he said coaching decision was already made. Don't think he said that either..

You know how this place is, famous mountain maker out of mole hills......

 

[Weezer]

I believe that to not be accurate.

It's kind of an overstatement. AV was asked if he thought it was over, and he said yes. He didn't flat out say, "yes, a choice has been made".

 

[TN-POSSUM]

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

Would be an absolute winner IMO.

I still can't look at the letters "JG" together and not get a little upset. How about we use "Jay" for Jay Graham, just for a little while?

 

[m1al]

Request denied.

 

[jpope9]

I actually think that subject is why we should be open minded with him.

his “issues” are in the past and were very much a factor in his failures at Baylor.

now I know you're trollin.

 

[RiotVol]

Just watched this scene on YouTube and I wish I could send it to Plowman and Boyd right now

I love this movie and basically everything Michael Lewis has written.

 

[jpope9]

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.

then if he's worried about his family and OM and not whats best for this university, then he needs to not be involved....

Think about poor Jay. He forever gets to hear his initials associated with that.

 

[BruinVol]

now I know you're trollin.

You don’t believe Steele had mental anxiety issues that led to problems on game days 20 years ago and is over them now??

 

[90 Vol]

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.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

This...

It’s Ingram or bust. Don’t over think this.

 

[volamite86]

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

 

[Vols4us]

Also liked Matts post about Ingram.

Exactly. Gotta love VN. Cardiologists are making a fortune from the stuff that goes on here.

 

[AppStVol]

I’d want Ingram. The Dave Hart stuff turns me away from Gilbert. But my fear is Barnes has enough pull to make Gilbert happen.

Yep, also why you heard Barnes pandering to Plowman and Boyd in his post game presser last night.

"Leadership at the university, with Boyd and Plowman, is as good as it gets"... "I've been a lot of places and worked with a lot of great people. They're as good as it gets".

Rick is going to push his old Lenoir Rhyne buddy in as it is the comfortable hire.

Thanks in advance.....

That ain't how we roll around here M1, C'mon man!

 

[Smokeytom]

I don’t want Tee, Lane’s WR coach is better and has only coached the position one year.

Co-OC and Co-DC is never a good idea imo, never works out well, for us anyways.

Hubbs said that Kiffin is the real WRs coach. One of the best out there. He’d make tee look good just like at USC

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Think about poor Jay. He forever gets to hear his initials associated with that.

Every time I see "JG" I think about Jarrett and wonder "why is he back and coaching RBs?". It's going to take a while to get over #2.

I love Jay Graham though. He can stay as long as he wants.

THANK YOU #25

 

[Weezer]

You don’t believe Steele had mental anxiety issues that led to problems on game days 20 years ago and is over them now??

I don't think he's worth the risk when there are obviously better options out there. Taking a chance on an unproven commodity is what landed us where we are right now. It would be extremely stupid to make the exact same mistake again. Sure, there is risk associated with any hire, but better to hire someone that has actually shown they can win as a head coach than someone who hasn't shown that.

 

[drvenner]

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

Would be an absolute winner IMO.

In the future, please do not refer to Jay Graham as JG. Thanks in advance.

 

[Vols4us]

In the future, please do not refer to Jay Graham as JG. Thanks in advance.

I agree - almost threw up on my shoes.
