Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[DustyRockSolid]

I want Kiffen as coach but aren’t you the one that was adamant that Pruitt would be coach for the 2021 season?

At least spell his name right.

 

[PolkVol]

Killed It IF Whites the FreakIN hire!

 

[Dudleys87]

Who?

ahh, I missed it. Damnit.

 

[drvenner]

already reported hes not gonna be the AD

LOL, I know that. Still not going to discount him until the ink is dry.

 

[johnfnkelly]

The chance of Lane returning and bringing UT back from the ashes he helped create would be the ultimate timeline. There will be without a doubt a 30/30 on it. Especially if he hauls in Archie.

 

[Stark_Vol]

Can someone please tell me the post that has us believing it's White? Sounds too good to be true

 

[KeyVol14]

Hubbs on White - I have confirmed that Tennessee was in Orlando yesterday or last night. He's clearly the focus right now.

Booooooooom!!!!

 

[HankHill]

His tune is going to change big time on Kiffin now that he knows were hiring Danny White as AD.

Pretty obvious who was feeding hubbs and especially price. They are playing catch-up now... the way it should be.

 

[Brick_By_Brick]

Why all the hype for Danny White? I’m not knocking the guy, I just don’t see where he has done anything all that substantial as an AD. Heupel has regressed over 3 years, and Dawkins is just a meh B-ball coach. What am I missing?

I'd say your opinion is firmly in the minority.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

NSIAP but a couple of things about Danny White that I find interesting:

1. His brother is Mike White (UFs basketball coach)
2. His dad is AD at Duke, brother is AD at FAU and his sister is assistant AD at SMU
3. Most importantly, his dad is very well respected across the country and has held numerous positions on NCAA committees.

Maybe dad has some pull that can help ease any penalties coming our way. Danny would certainly fit Plowman’s criteria of choosing someone that wouldn’t be learning on the job and will know how to do it the right way.

So Kevin White tell his son Mike not to take the basketball coaching position in 2014 due to booster meddling but he advises his other son Danny to take the AD job?

[UpstateVol613]

FWIW I think we will like the AD hire a lot more than the HC hire.

 

[drvenner]

Already took his name out.

Just like Saban took his name out of the Alabama search, amirite?

I am just kidding. BVS is very difficult to overcome, though.

 

[VolInDayton]

If we get White my confidence of us coming out of this circus will raise from 10% to 40%

Also a Louisana boy that at one time was associate AD at Ole Miss. so there is a definite Manning connection

 

[volbeast33]

If this all comes together with Danny White as AD and Kiffin coming back there should be a parade for Queen Donde!

I agree.... I would take back my negative comments about her.

 

[johnfnkelly]

New avi, how ya'll liking it?

 

[Squoshua17]

I'd say your opinion is firmly in the minority.

I actually don’t have an opinion of the guy. And I agree that the majority of people seem to be excited about him. I just want to know what warrants the excitement?

 

[sona]

Back in 2017 I think, Ainge slide into Kiffins Twitter dms and said he didn’t want him anywhere near UT again. Yesterday on the show he was saying he would love to have Kiffin back.

I don't think anyone cares at all what Ainge has to say. Knoxville would hand Lane the key to the city while simultaneously helping Ainge pack.

 

[Frankwillie87]

Would Danny White fire Rick Barnes so his brother can consistently beat TN?.... sorry had to

Do you have a brother? Danny White is probably coming here BECAUSE Rick Barnes can consistently beat Florida

 

[TrippieRedd]

FWIW I think we will like the AD hire a lot more than the HC hire.

what do you know ?

 

[Voltrapnbama]

What is White and Kiffins connection?

 

[m1al]

Alabama and Georgia..and hell everybody else for that matter do the same damn stuff...you figure it out.

I have figured it out, we AIN'T bama and georgia.. Pruitt & Co definitely ain't Saban & Co or Smart & Co......

Come on McGill, cut Plowman and Boyd a little slack. Give it more than day. they may have just saved UTs ass...

 

[I4Jay]

I’m sure you ask and put out feelers all over the place..... we should have already locked up who we were going to hire before we started this nonsense.

Truth, at the very minimum there should be a short list in the AD office for every job, with guys that they have researched and vetted and have contact with the agent on what it would take to get them there.
Our AD/administration seem to be very reactive instead of being proactive like a good company/organization.
