Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

I think she's very smart. A master manipulator.

I hope she is smarter than she is looking right now.

 

[jakez4ut]

Correct. Everyone is overreacting

 

[butchna]

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.

How much hammering? They miss a bowl and...what? The only example of a death penalty in CFB history occurred because the AD and bigwigs denied everything and got busted live in local television by Dale Hansen. SMU here in Dallas if you’re a different generation.

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>

In the arms of an angel, fly away from here

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Correct. I’m in Memphis, working planes over the mid-state.

Best of luck. Come hang out with me and @Tri-CitiesVol in the Pub if you want to talk aviation.

I lurk in there every once in a while just never post.

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

Has he said he will not coach in the same league or division as his brother? Keep seeing this.

Bob Stoops would be like hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the 9th with two outs in Game 7 of the World Series down 3.

Except in this circumstance, Tennessee isn't the New York Yankees. Tennessee is the New York Mets.

So, essentially what I'm saying is that this is a pipe dream and this is not going to happen.

 

[pierce60]

SIAP....thanks PAC-12 for taking a bit of heat/attention off of us for a few minutes.

 

[engineerVOL]

Y’all some chicken littles. These players won 3 games. A good coach could easily make a bowl (I know probably bowl ban but just saying) next year. We have a two QBs with promise on the roster still. Stop crying over transfers, only Kevin Steele as HC could kill the program.

[jakez4ut]

Everyone simmer down. We have no idea how this will all play out until we know who the new coach is.

 

[daj2576]

I like Clay but he will say anything for clicks.

Breezing through here hitting the highlights of the posts...I read yours and incorrectly imposed a "d" for the "cl". I had to go back and check to see if I just read what I thought I did. laughed.

Dang man

I guess in the next week or so we will see if they truly care about football.

Tennessee is more likely to hit a weak grounder to second base and trip and fall face first trying to leg out a single

 

[zjcvols]

I'm unsure that Bob would come for $12 million

I’m not sure he’s coming if we renamed Neyland after his tequila company

 

[TheRain]

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

 

[volfan1631]

The Bowden father and son coached against each other.

We are the Braves and Mark Wohlers pitching to Jim Leyritz in '96

 

[SweetasSoda]

Need an AV drop in

He may be busy.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Donde says it ain't happening. I'm sure legal told them UT have a strong case to not pay it. And yes, if there are illegalities I would hold them over his head and tell him to go pound sand.

We had better save the $12 million buyout after all of this mess!! It’s going to cost us 2-3x that by the time this is all said and done. Would have been way cheaper to uncover a few of the infractions, tell Pruitt he’s in trouble, but we can make it go away if he wants to negotiate a buyout. Pay him $6 million, get a slap on the wrist, fire Phil (which is what happened anyways), and go hire a great AD and HC without losing half of our starters, and without getting the NCAA hammer come down on us. As always, Tennessee does everything the hard, stupid way!

 

[White Bread]

If they’re offering me 5.5-8 mil I’d beat the dog s*** out of my brother. Then once he gets fired, I’ll bring him on staff.

 

[engineerVOL]

UT looped them in.

Thanks, Donde.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Never thought people in the recruiting form would be on the side of not paying players.

A bunch of blind fools. These same buttholes will be bitching and moaning wondering why our team of two stars gets obliterated 5-6 times a year.

 

[jakez4ut]

I decided to make a graph of salaries versus this last season's Sagarin rating.

Basically, those on the right side of the point cloud are those that are underpaid relative to how well they did last year.

Lot of familiar names that we've batted around, but this gives you a way to visualize how much of steal Chadwell, Liepold, Fickell, and Campbell are.

And you can see that UT basically got what it paid for, a coach drawing a middle of the pack salary pulling down meh results. This tells me that he must have been a regal prick and the violations substantial for them to pull the plug, because the admin basically could have written this season off as a fluke because of COVID and the SEC schedule.

Also, how annoyed would you be if you were a Michigan fan?

Edit: Added Louisiana/Napier

Let’s just logic this thing out. Why would Bob Stoops come to Tennessee...but not even listen to Auburn when they have a better roster, just as much money and facilities, better national prestige and don’t have looming NCAA violations? Plus not have to play his brother every year?
