Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[OSVolFan]

I have seen Scott Carter’s name floated here a few times for AD. I can say there’s 0% chance he’s involved in their interview/selection process.

 

[OrangeDrip]

my AD preferences:
Danny White UCF - Outsider and has proved he can build programs (football and other)
Mark Ingram UAB - Has resurrected the UAB football program but can he do the same for other programs
Jon Gilbert ECU - Familiarity with UT but not impressed with tenure with Dave Hart.

What are your choices.?

I like Ingram but UAB was coming back with or without him. It was basically back before he even got there. Ingram was my favorite but the more I look at White, the more I like him.

I’ve heard he may be back on campus lol

I saw that mentioned on VQ that he had been seen working out. It was from a random though so didn't want to believe it.

For as little as $1 per day, you can help bring hope to a Tennessee child who has never seen success <cue Sarah McLachlan music>

Another poster in that same thread on 247 said he heard from a good source they’re going all in on Bob Stoops. TIFWIW

Would be a home run...turned a mess around at Oklahoma

Need an AV drop in

We lost some underdeveloped players on a below average roster that won 3 games, it's going to be OK

No we are not..these guys were underdeveloped, but they are talented...

 

[ATC_VOL]

Yeah. As far as not using Knox though, im not sure what other airport they would use. But I agree they're not going to let anyone know until they want them to know.

Some of our previous administrators were probably flying Allegiant out of Chattanooga I’m sure.

This search be like....

 

[butchna]

Everyone I have seen..... I have asked several times when this has worked..... the only person gave me ole miss, penn state... and Baylor when all three of schools fought it.... lied about it.... and tried everything they could to get out of it...... do you have examples of it working?

None of those “worked”. All got hammered. There’s a reason no one gave you the name of a school that did it “like we did”.

Stop. Drop, and roll.

People are high as hell if they think Stoops is coming within 500 miles of this greasefire.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

If she is like Mrs Mullen recruiting won’t be a problem

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I think we end up with Chadwell. Calling my shot.

 

[KB5252]

We all know that ain’t happening. Especially with his brother at KY

Not too mention we fire a coach for NCAA infractions only to hire one with a record of NCAA infractions? I doubt it.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Just a reminder that FU money only guarantees the ceiling of the offer. It will not, nor never, guarantee interested candidates based on a variety of different conditions including administration and administrative support, ncaa penalties, opportunity cost of waiting for a different opening, personal and family opinions, etc. We could offer $40M/5yr as a max to multiple candidates and end up with Steele anyway (but for far less financial obligation than the FU money ponied up).

Hopefully that’s not the case, but having FU money doesn’t guarantee results. Just makes the odds better.

This. We constantly overpay and still get Schiano, Butch...neither of which were close to the first choice.

Lulz.
I think ive seen you mention, but you're not based in Knox, right? Just curious, im actually trying to get into aviation myself, im waiting to hear back from a company for a FA position final interview.

Another key step in the coach search process: “The Bob Stoops Phase” where we pretend Bob is gonna come to a full rebuild in the same division as Mark.

Missouri is the latest example to contrary..... they complied turned it over bc an advisor did some work for kids thinking they would get it easier.... they were pissed bc the NCAA hit them hard for the offense committed while auburn buys a national championship with cam newton and got nothing.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Bob Stoops?

Didn’t realize Stoops came out of retirement to coach an XFL....definitely still some juice in those veins to get back on the field in the right circum$tance.

 

[Headvol]

Someone posted an interview or something of Chadwell earlier today. If possible can one of you gentlemen repost that so I can watch it

 

[SweetasSoda]

Chadwell is going to fail here. Anyone that’s watched the last decade and thinks he’s a good fit because he is from Tennessee is going to be disappointed in three years.

We don't know. All we can do is hope they get the best they can unlike the past.

 

[Orange Studs]

She's already shown us. A tip of the cap to the Haslams for bringing her back and closing the circle.

Dang LA you really don't like her do you? LOL You been going on about her all day. LOL Never seen you like this.
