Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[m1al]

We are not hiring Kiffin guys.

 

[SLICKYINC]

@Tennessee Stud is a coward troll and he's gone back to sniffing butts on dawgnation.

LOL

 

[MarcoVol]

Man, reading Grays tweet makes me feel like it’s really not his decision to leave but I could also be reading to much into it since he’s a really nice kid anyway.

Remember I told everyone that it was going to get worse before it got better.

The transfer stuff you saw today was purely a by product of those players not being eligible at UT moving forward due to things that will most likely come out in the investigation at some point....Nothing more.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Ready to here him speak tomorrow to see what he has planned

 

[RikidyBones]

"Thanks for taking my question. When you called Kiffin what'd he have to say about making things right?"

"Welcome to Knoxville Daniel. When you search for the next head football coach, what exactly are you looking for and how excited is kiffin to return to Tennessee?"

 

[scienceteaching_vol]

And then he said.............

That's because a poster responded by saying we already have a new ad. He was clarifying he meant athletic department not athletic director.

 

[engineerVOL]

Ok. I'm just saying most recently he said FU money was coming to the table. That's what got a lot of it going since the firing/retirement.

Gotcha. OP asked the origin of what FU dough meant.. Behold...

 

[MarcoVol]

And then he said.............

Bc someone said

Not sure if you heard but we got a new one.

 

[quadlee21]

Question: With all this portal stuff now, are players still considered VFLs if they leave before graduation? Or is it like in most marriages where ‘til death do us part really means tiI I find something better?

Not sure exactly, but my cousin has a cousin from the other side of the family who played in Austin Peays 3 games this fall and has transferred to UT Chattanooga and is playing in the spring and is eligible. He is a center. Originally went to Miss State. Think from Ensworth

 

[VOLSONLY]

Here is where I am, and I’m going to bed...

1. I don’t care if we go 0–12 next year. I don’t care if guys are transferring. I don’t care how bad it gets at this point. It’s already awful.

2. Hire an AD who doesn’t have an ego, has elite people skills, and is not easily swayed.

3. Hire a coach who is self-confident, great with people, has great strength of character, is genuinely likeable and respectful to the people in the UTK community, has strong convictions about his approach and philosophy but is humble enough to listen. If he is an offensive mind, all the better.

4. Then...leave them alone and let them do their job for awhile. Surely, after all of this, a new coach won’t have the fanbase and media breathing down their neck after a bad season or two. Let them have some breathing room and let them pull this thing out of the abyss.

Good night

That head coaching description sounds like me, where do I sign?

 

[zjcvols]

I seriously do not want Franklin. Why do people keep forgetting his ties to Vandy's rape scandal?

Weird how people brought up the moral issues when it was Schiano but yet the same people bring up Franklin and Briles

 

[SLICKYINC]

@MarcoVol I read all of that from AV but I also read what Cades lawyer said and it also makes a lot of sense.

 

[RikidyBones]

Bc someone said

"someone"? Put some RESPECK on my name, Polo.

LOL come on out big guy

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

@Bassmaster_Vol this is what short notice will get ya

my man!

 

[Ten_Titans]

Weird how people brought up the moral issues when it was Schiano but yet the same people bring up Franklin and Briles

Is it the same people? Is it really?

 

[Volfanatic_20]

His salary will be $1.8 million with an annual increase of five percent. He will be eligible to receive up to $300,000 annually based on team athletic performance, team academic performance and departmental operational goals. His immediate focus will be hiring UT’s next head football coach.

I'm ignoring anyone who says James Franklin in this thread again.

[BarrythesnoUT]

Cristobal til it ain’t!

I like that thought. Michigan State just went into the Pac 12 and poached Mel Tucker. They obviously have a problem paying their coaches. Could we pull Cristobal away from Oregon with Phil Knight's money backing them?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Didn’t Calbert play some tackle last year, or am I misremembering?

I forgot about Calbert. You could play him at rt and try Wright at LT

 

[Weezer]

I wish Jimmy Hyams would retire and move back to Louisiana.

 

[Kingston Vol]

I’m starting to believe.

 

[Big Orange#1]

Not a fan of this guy at all. He can get the heck outta here with that crap.
