Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Catbone]

Gruden was the betting favorite in 2017. You're listening to probably the most wrong reporter when it comes to the Pruitt firing right now. Why?

Doesn't matter. Avi bet is on the table. I've already got an idea what I'm going to make you use. Some variation of your spirit animal.

HANDS. OFF.

That's mine

 

[BruinVol]

No.

Would be a proven winner and takes FU money to make Happen

 

[Batman1948]

So in all the massive firings and gutting of our football program they couldn’t find a reason to terminate Chaney or Weinke

They may be in a union. You have to pretty much kill someone to get fired from some unions.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Me and Bass know they gonna trot out Steele as the next head coach. We've been through this before.

 

[VolInNorthCack]

Don't think that would be a good move. Huge risk.

Why?

 

[FranklinVFL]

I fully expect us to walk Steele out.

I will let myself out then.

Via SportsLine oddsmakers: Who will be the next full-time Tennessee football coach?

• Billy Napier +300
• Jamey Chadwell +400
• Kevin Steele +500
• Tom Herman +700
• Hugh Freeze +800
• Bill Clark +1000
• Gus Malzahn +1200
• Doug Marrone +1400
• Dave Doeren +1500
• Tony Elliott +1700
• Jeff Fisher +2000
• Bill O'Brien +2200
• Joe Brady +2500

who you got? T

I think they’ll flub it up and go with Chadwell, Steele or Clark. I believe this job is much too big for Chadwell at this time. Needs bigger experience for a longer duration. Steele or Clark is a trot’em out with a mask on. No way either of those 2 work out as HC.

Crazy not to put 20 bucks on O'brien or Herman or Steele.

 

[05_never_again]

he also said proven winner, not someone who went 1-33 as an HC in the Big 12......

Like I said, you could spin it and say he's a proven winner because he's been a part of good teams. People said that about Pruitt because he was at Alabama. He'd "been around" great programs, so that means he "knows what it takes to win." Yeah right.

However, it'd be really hard to spin him as not being a tryout, because as you said he was a head coach once 20 years ago and was terrible. That is the criteria that really means something, IMO.

James Franklin should have gotten the Briles treatment for trying to cover up rapes at Vandy.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

No to Bill O’Brien. No to James Franklin. Bring me someone else.

 

[Batman1948]

All they could prove is that Chaney provided the actual bags from McDonalds.

McDonalds new slogan for their money and prize game is gonna be----"It's a Tennessee thing"

Bass keeps on trucking after being udderly wrong...that you too?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

What was I wrong about?

 

[05_never_again]

James Franklin should have gotten the Briles treatment for trying to cover up rapes at Vandy.

That's something I've never understood - how he largely has escaped scrutiny from that. On the surface at least, those 2 cases seem really similar.

 

[BruinVol]

And what is that reason?

And what is that reason?

He has a past that isn’t clean.
He also coached a colorado during a time there was some serious rape issues iirc.

The bottom line Colorado didn’t reach out to him with their openings. That’s telling

 

[jp1]

Why?

No HC college experience, although I do think he is a recognizable name to recruits. His past at Colorado will keep him from a job like this in the position we are in. Just can't screw this one up.

 

[Weezer]

I'm gonna go to the McDonalds on the strip and order some McCash.

Why do you think Clark wouldn't work out?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

 

[SPEDVoL14]

AP said he would take the field for now until he sees who may have interest. Without an AD, I am not shocked that his stance would be Steele. If Boyd sticks to his words, Steele does not fit the bill. He is certainly not a proven winner and would have to learn on the job as a HC.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Sounds like this guy is getting a serious look

Colorado actually did reach out to him and he reportedly said no, but you are correct as to why he hasn't gotten a job.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Ok bring me this AD and her coach

I don't want anything to do with anyone that worked at Cal-Berkley. No to Frank's and beans either.
