Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Basilio talking about connections to Kiffin.

 

[InVOLuntary]

You guys do realize it would be totally Tennessee to nail the AD hire and totally flop on the coach hire, right?

Ok catweezerbone

 

[Volfanatic_20]

I bet the Ole Miss boards are nervous lol

They are lots of threads going up about losing Kiffin.

 

[Catbone]

My jaw is still hanging open

I've had my hand in my pants for a solid 30 minutes.

We still have to nail the HC though.

Stadium ranked him the 4th best AD in the country
Ranking the Top 20 FBS ADs With Jeff Goodman and Brett McMurphy - Stadium

Definitely. After all, how can you have you get your hopes crushed if you don't get them up in the first place?

Found this list - not sure how accurate: highest paid ADs

• #6 DeLoss Dodds, Texas — $1,109,041. ...
• #5 Shawn Eichorst, Nebraska — $1,123,000. ...
• #4 Barry Alvarez, Wisconsin — $1,230,000. ...
• #3 Jeremy Foley, Florida — $1,233,250. ...
• #2 Tom Jurich, Louisville — $1,411,915. ...
• #1 David Williams, Vanderbilt — $3,239,678

I think David Williams passed away in 2019. I think that list might not be updated.

Per Hubbs, Tennessee flew down last night to hire Danny White.

I got something right! You know what they say about a broken clock.

 

[Jimmy Football]

What a narrative-changer! Just what the doctor ordered.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I think we are done playing around

It’s about time!!! I’m excited about Tennessee football again, and we haven’t even hired the HC!

 

[Souce]

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

Just pop in a VHS of Mary Poppins for them...

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

I was just emailed a screenshot of a text conversation... I'm trying hard not to believe it. I have no idea where it came from. He just said it was sent to him by someone "in the know"... I'm calling BS on Freeze. Maybe the coach that kids want to play for is Kiffin and he just assumed wrong? I don't know. Don't hold me responsible.

that's not a believable nug. Pass

 

[bigorangecrush89]

It seems to me that White would be reluctant to poach Kiffin from Ole Miss given that he graduated from there. Especially after a year.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

I didn’t have much confidence in that fact that we could still get a great coach. That was before we hired Danny White. Now? I’ve got a truck full of hope.

Hire a great AD -
Hire a great HC -

Yep. They’re useless.

 

[VolInNorthCack]

I don't believe it either.

 

[VolMike16]

Wow! So maybe they finally are serious about football. Remember when @Atlanta VOL said no good coaches would come to UT with Fulmer there? Pretty sure White's rep is pointed significantly in the other direction. Big hire.

I love you

 

[90 Vol]

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!!

All together now!

Few years dated. Williams is dead and Dodds is gone. If Jurich is still pulling that down, it’s part of his settlement after being fired a few years ago.

 

[Ten_Titans]

You know what I like about the hire? It isn't a "Tennessee hire". New blood. That's what we need right now IMO.

Bring them cliffs and Tid Bits right ovaaa heeeeeeea

This is my favorite gif lol
