Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[UTProf]

Ummm...I doubt Ole Miss would rehire the coach that they fired for NCAA violations.

They would in a heartbeat. They didn’t want to fire him and don’t at all regret it. They hadn’t been relevant and were more than willing to pay the price. They’d happily pay it again. Talk to some of their fans.

Gonna tip my cap and call Donde Plowman my daddy

When is the last time we made anyone an offer they couldn't refuse?

 

[SLICKYINC]

I know this. White has lobbied for G5 schools to get more respect, to the point of being pissed enough to allow a fake NC parade with banners and all.

He’s going to do everything in his power to make TN a power house again just out of spite, imo.

I’m here for it!!

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Wait... we just made a hire that is universally being celebrated? National writers love it? Local media loves it? WE love it?

WTF is going on?! This doesn’t feel like a UT hire.

LFG!

Again, even not considering how great of a hire this is. Because White is a ****ing home run.

There was a plan. Nobody publicly turned us down. No flight trackers. No “scrambling around”. No booster interference. Got this done in 72 hours. Plan was in place and it was executed perfectly.

Donde knows what she is doing.

It appears she does.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Speaking stricly from the perspective of his past hires, I would expect: Kiffin, Chadwell, Brown and Tony Elliot are on his coaching list here. Probably Leipold too.

I like 3 of those 5. Hope they start higher, though.

 

[VolGee4]

@Stoerner Fumbles said that Scott Frost with the assist on this one. Plowman respects him and his advice.

It also means that Frost really respects Plowman too, if Danny White is willing to jump to a program that is under fire.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Edit: Okay, I went a little too far with this one lol

 

[Volfanatic_20]

Highest paid AD in country maybe?

 

[butchna]

I was rooting for Ingram because I was certain that we wouldn’t have the stones to go out and hire someone like White.

I didn’t know anything about him...read up fast!

 

[SmokinBob]

Did y’all see this? Makes me smile...

 

[Alwaysopen711]

Would this be a game changer for Napier or Fleck? May show to them that we are serious and open to bringing the check book?

 

[HankHill]

Leadership. We got it. @Ulysees E. McGill

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Shut up Jesse. You’d roll through broken glass to be in Steele’s position.

[KeyVol14]

There is no way we screw up the HC hire now

 

[Geronimo]

Ohhh! That’s a reboot from the BBC show that featured the daughter on Yellowstone. It’s on Starz for first run? Didn’t even see it on Prime...heading over there! Thanks.

I watched about a month ago. Only season one was available then. Prime is bad about only leaving stuff up for short periods of time or not offering all seasons. I understand the marketing but still sucks you pay for prime then have to pay for shows too.

 

[Volbucky]

We have the greatest fanbase in all of sports.

Hands down.

And now an AD to match

 

[BucVol98]

Some of you all are masterful at pulling stuff out of your rectum with no foundation in fact.

Not true it's well documented that Peyton is a big fan of Gase stemming from their time together in Denver, and Gase is jobless after getting fired by the Jets.

 

[Rishvol]

Daggumit yall I'm teaching here will you wait until after school?!?!?!?

 

[butchna]

I'm going to impregnate my wife tonight and I've had a vasectomy

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I go off and do some work for a couple hours at a barn, and y’all make a monsterous hire of Danny White as AD!!! KABOOM!!! Well done, Volnation!!! It’s about time we finally get serious about winning! Step one down.

Now, let’s complete this and hire a grand slam as a HC, and then go win a bunch of games and championships. Let’s go!!

By the way, this is probably the best hire in the last 15 years for our program. Now, he needs to top that and make the best hire since Fulmer, when the HC is announced.

 

[Pepe]

Well. Tennessee is just an upgraded job in comparison to Ole Miss. Even with Sanctions. Yeah, USC was a better job than Tennessee in 2009 in theory, but not really enough for someone to make a move like that. Especially because of incoming sanctions. It only happened because it was "his dream job". Think Kiffin just knows once the sanctions are over, he could be more successful at UT. Plus he knows unlike USC, he will get time to turn it around.

LOL

 

[Volfanatic_20]

I'm told SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey is impressed by White and endorsed this hire (not that Tennessee needed his approval) but Sankey and Plowman have a good relationship.

Remember Cutcliffe worked for White's father. Cutcliffe and Peyton are close.
