Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Brent Hubbs on HT
"He's in town. School started today. He's communicated with the staff and hasn't entered the portal. Won't be shocked if he does. I think he's still looking at all options."

If Steele starts hiring offensive assistants then put your cups back on

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

And if that Stoerner report is true, man I thought Butch was petty. Holy ... how did Pruitt think this was going to go?!? I ... can't ... imagine this stuff is real, but ... smh.

Can't we give like a psychological evaluation before we hire these characters?

 

[Kingston Vol]

Normal schools don't fire their coach in January just as the team is coming back to start the offseason program.

You don't need an interim coach if the students aren't even on campus.

The off-season program is run by the S&C staff and we still have Tee, Chaney, Ansley, Osovet, Simon, Steele and a handful of others still on campus who can work for the next two weeks.

We've fired three coaches in the last 10 years, and never once have we hired assistants as placeholders.

 

[Wickman]

Hiring Rodney Garner is a great move. Totally contradicts everything they said they want representing UT, but a great move nonetheless.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Showing your ass bad.

Every search man, every search, I feel like it’s always Fleck with you. Dude. Is. Ass.

I’ll draw a picture and spell it for you.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Steele will not be HC. People are reading way to much into this. Before Pruitt got fired there was already talks that Garner was going to join the staff.

I am not arguing that all of these things totally point to us hiring Kevin Steele. The only thing I'm saying is we're going about the hiring process in an ass-backwards way.

Go ahead. Let’s hear it.

 

[Jimmy Football]

You can hire someone with a caveat that the eventual signed contract has to be approved by the new head coach. It’s not like hiring an assistant coach necessitates a locked-in, multi-year deal with a huge buyout.

When was the last time we did it right lol

 

[seaofORANGE22]

Steele is the acting head coach. He can't manage the program with no assistants even if it's only for a few weeks. He needs help. No reason to jump to conclusions.

If it’s real, methinks they’ve been working on replacements well before Donde went scorched earth in public. They knew they were going to fire him just needed the extra incentive to do it without a buy out.

I was in the didn’t they would fire him boat but it all makes more sense now.

 

[Volator]

Find it funny the lack of reading comprehension by VN posters. The earlier discussion regarding the AV's posts and now the John Brice article on Kevin Steele which states IF and when he would be able to fill positions. Consider what Brice's aim is: To create clicks to his site and what creates clicks for this fan base - anything about the football situation. He is spit-balling just like all the other media sources so go ahead and freak out over something that has not and probably will not occur. Return you to your regularly scheduled freak out...

How do you add coaches to a staff with no head coach?

It sounds like every coach we have hired post-Fulmer has had some major character flaw that wasn't identified or fleshed out during the hiring/due diligence process.

At least with Pruitt, you could tell straight away that he was extremely unpolished and rough around the edges, and if he struggled here that would be used as a reason to give him a short leash.

 

[MrVolton]

In on White, meh on Liepold.

If all of those rumors prove true, Jeremy Pruitt is the dumbest gump ever to get handed a head coaching job. Jeez Louise.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I want him as my head coach with Steele, Garner, Simon, and Graham on his staff

 

[BogeyVol]

If we hire Steele, Chadwell, Napier, Campbell, Fleck, etc., we are not bringing "FU" money to the table. There aren't many warranting even close to what has been mentioned.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Chadwell would be the best recruiter of the coaches we're considering and would immediately give us an identity to build and recruit to - instead of just building ourselves as Georgia or Alabama with worse players.

I hope very much that he is the hire.

 

[HankHill]

Again, normal schools don't hire placeholder coaches for stability during a coaching search.

You fire the head coach, keep a few of the assistants around who are already there through the transition, then the new coach takes over.

We aren’t hiring Steele bud. Smoke a cig

 

[Catbone]

In on White, meh on Liepold.

Racist

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

If you are ok with a Chadwell hire how can you be against a Fleck one?

Auditioning to be the mouthpiece for a possible head coach by dangling a "I can bring Garner if you hire me" article.
