Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

White is going to use his Ole Miss connection to do a swap.

Steele for Kiffin.

LFG.

I should clarify that I would like Steele to stay on as DC, but regardless, this would be acceptable as well.

That last sentence literally happened when Kiffin and Ed O were here. Ed through a projector through the hotel conference room wall.

This is why I can't not love the guy. LMAO

What’s the latest????

Plowman apparently has a giant swinging thigh slapper, and is making BDE moves.

 

[MarcoVol]

I mean I can't really explain it. I guess he's been out of the game for a while, not sure he would be great today. not to mention he's a defensive guy and we need offense in today's league. I just don't really think that highly of him. I think he was in a good spot at OU with little competition and did well. Not sure he could repeat that here.

So no Stoops who went 190-48 with 10 Big12 Championships and a NC

Not at all. Herman plus Steele is a home run

But you think Herman is a home run who went 32-18 in the Big12 with zero titles with the most talent in the league.

I’m usually with you on football takes.

Not this one.

 

[FiremedicVOL127]

White left ole miss in 12 n went to buffalo if I'm not mistaken. I ain't sure about that. Someone correct to make me feel better but I do think that's a stretch.

Sorry I misread the original post just ignore please. Sorry

 

[Orange Studs]

I went and took a shower for this event. I wanted to look good for our new AD.

Something that isn't adding up in my head still is the Steele hire.

Did they do this randomly and just allow it or was there a master plan.

Does a new coach come in and keep him and add Garner (or does Steele hire him now)?

Was this all already discussed?

Seems odd that Steele would come here just to be let go.

But again maybe they really didn't know and thought PF and JP were going to be here long term.

Something just doesn't add up.

Seems like whoever they are going after for HC is going to be heavily offensively oriented and they just went ahead and got a good DC to bridge the gap.

Or it could have just been some random hail mary by Fulmer and Pruitt

 

[Batman1948]

99vawl and Stoerner should hold cabinet level positions.

Stoerner has more solid information than anyone I've ever seen as a poster.
I'm gonna search his posts every time I sign on and not gonna waste my time with anyone else

 

[Dewey]

Steele as HC was a last second effort by Fulmer to have some old guard around. Get Fulmer out of Ktown!

 

[I4Jay]

You don’t pay the kind of money they did to get White just to step on his toes IMO.

Absolutely.

You are right...it just doesn't make sense. Right now, I am going with:

a. This has all been done for a while and the HC has also been unofficially hired and OK with Steele
b. Steele did this as a favor to his friend (Fulmer) knowing what would happen but happy for the extra cash
c. Steele was hoping to do at UT what he attempted at AU

Open to other options.

 

[Ace]

While VN is dreaming of Lane, he is busy trying to recruit Roc Taylor to Ole Miss. He offered him to Ole Miss today and is following him on Twitter. Merry Flipmas Part 2 (TE edition)

 

[ILVFL]

First things first with football obviously but hopefully this means White can finally fix the embarrassment of the Lady Vols also.

I like my theory that we hired Steele to send to Ole Miss for Kiffin.

Steele's getting paid by the barn either way. Is it possible he has been brought in as a consultant and doing "a solid" for his alma mater to help steady things during this transition?

What’s the latest????

We’re throwing around some dang cash

View attachment 341807

uh, yes please.

You're still negative.....after today?

he doesn't want Kiffin to leave Ole Miss, it's reverse psychology.............

 

[kemotoe]

Link to the press conference?

 

[SLICKYINC]

Thanks for the curse Phillip....

Take that back Germy

 

[TrippieRedd]

We’re throwing around some dang cash

Go ahead and bring me Bob Stoops.

 

[Rizzo924]

I’m still pissed he’s getting a check every months.

and probably about 20 free season tickets

 

[TheMookieMonster]

If Danny White is scheduled to be in Knoxville with his family tomorrow, and he knows who his guy is according to a VQ poster, what are the chances this is a joint introductory conference INCLUDING the HC tomorrow afternoon?

10% chance? 20% chance?

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

When is the press conference? I love new hire press conferences.

 

[05_never_again]

They scared me with the heaping of praise on fulmer.
Also signing off on the extensions still feel like a finger in the eye, but they nailed this. And I will give credit where it’s due.
Im excited yet still very cautious

I hope that Phil had praise heaped on him, and was present at the press conference to begin with, purely to keep a gaggle of boosters (Thunder, Jones, Anderson, perhaps others) happy and feeling like they are in the fold. All are personal buddies of Fulmer. I hope Plowman and Boyd found it almost impossible to publicly praise him for the job he'd done as AD.

Phil needs to be given access to his box in Neyland and then be given nothing else, ever again, from this University. He was a great coach 25 years ago but has wrecked this program twice. He's done, and never needs to be heard from ever again in any sort of "official" capacity.
