Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[SweetasSoda]

You're wrong on this one. The AA wasn't involved to those dipshits got them involved. This was a hit.

If we had a good coach and good AD that were winning, I would be a little more upset. We didn't. They did what they did. If it gets us a good coach and a good AD that wins, then I will care less.

I feel like Kiffin is the absolute best option if you want a quick fix with recruiting.

With a structured contract that basically makes it impossible for him to leave and has all kinds of morality clauses in it, I really think this is the best option. You have to be willing to tell the media to F off if you are UT leadership and not care how this looks.

I agree an interim at this point tanks recruiting worse than sanctions would. An interim only works during the season - you really need the the real guy in place for the offseason. There really aren't many guys that can come in and generate enough buzz to bring in recruits, but Kiffin is one of them.

We are standing at the gates of hell with one foot already in the door, and y’all think we’re going to get a coach worth a sh!t to agree to terms like that? The ONLY chance we will have at a coach that excites us is to over pay...by a LOT...and every f$&#ing clause in the contract will be to their benefit.

Gilbert staying at ECU according to TOS...

Ingram me, TODAY!

 

[UpstateVol613]

Yay!!

Sorry...only let me like it once.

 

[Girth Brooks]

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Its down to 2, I think Danny White wins out

But he is Mike Whites brother.

 

[appyvol]

I don't think Chadwell should be our first call at all. But if we swing and miss with our top targets, Chadwell with Steele as DC is a hell of a safety net.

Does Peyton like Kiffin?

Idk but Erik Ainge sure was singing a different tune yesterday talking about Kiffin.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Peyton being heavily involved in this coaching search makes me feel a bit better about them not messing this up. The University will do its best to keep the embarrassment to a minimum. We don't want an Auburn situation.

He needs to sit this one out.

 

[eVOLve]

We thinking Mullens at this point?

 

[Rishvol]

He needs to sit this one out.

Exactly. Don't need another Schiano

 

[Volsfaninva917]

So you think it's White vs....? Oregon or Minn AD?

White or Maggard

[Volsfaninva917]

Does Peyton like Kiffin?

Very much

 

[SLICKYINC]

If there is anything I know about Lane. It’s that he loves to keep his name out there. He’s using us to recruit OM, ffs.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Peyton wasn't involved in the last coaching search. He simply rubber stamped the hire. He was going to rubber stamp whoever they trotted out there.

 

[Bigworm87]

I think hubbs would consider lane more realistic if it fit things Boyd/plowman have said are major factors. Can you really see us talking about integrity/compliance then roll out someone that almost got us in that mess his first time around? I get he has learned a lot but it’s a risk when you need a clean one for NCAA to forgive you

Bottom line is any coach worth a damn has "almost" gotten into some trouble with the NCAA. Thats just the nature of big college football.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

But he is Mike Whites brother.

It'll be OK

 

[UpstateVol613]

So why did they think Schiano was an acceptable hire? I am not talking about the Penn St. stuff because a lot of that is hearsay and God can judge him...not me. But he was a mediocre at best coach that took a crappy program in the worst conference to mid-tier in that conference. Literally Ohio St. chose a young an up and comer over him...literally no decent job wanted him.

 

[VFL92]

Does Peyton like Kiffin?

We don't really know how he feels about Lane now. But after Lane left UT, Peyton was not a fan. When asked about what he'd say to Lane if they had a chat, Peyton's response was simply "It'd probably be a short conversation."

On top of that, don't expect Peyton to poach Ole Miss' coach. His decision to go his own direction and choose UT was one thing. Actively recruiting their HC away after one year isn't something Peyton would do to his family.

Bottom line: Peyton's involvement doesn't increase the likelihood of Lane.

 

[jpope9]

Idk but Erik Ainge sure was singing a different tune yesterday talking about Kiffin.

thats because Ainge is a tool.

 

[Volfanatic_20]

If Ingram can be our fall back option for AD than we are going to be in good shape with this hire.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Payton wasn't involved in the last coaching search. He simply rubber stamped the hire. He was going to rubber stamp whoever they trotted out there.

True, he was trying to get involved in an NFL front office so at the time he was kissing the ass of the right people

 

[SweetasSoda]

He didn’t ok it. They asked him to help calm the masses. It’s not like he isn’t a good coach. He just wasn’t the right coach. People love trying to make Peyton the villain in that but all he was doing was saying give the guy a chance and support him because at that point things were signed and ready.

Guess he thinks if he's going to get blamed, he might as well get involved.

 

[Lofton/Durant4 3]

Idk but Erik Ainge sure was singing a different tune yesterday talking about Kiffin.

How so?
