Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Hank liked this. @HankHill you know something?

Never had any inside info and probably never will just connecting the dots, you don’t pay a $2.5mil buyout for an AD then pay him $1.8per to hire someone like Napier or Chadwell or even Kiffin for that matter and guys like Fleck and Campbell don’t feel like great fits here.

No i really don’t have any idea but i could see that being a possibility.

 

[BruinVol]

I don't think Fickell because he isn't offensive minded. The other 3 maybe. Campbell's name has been beaten to death.
So its Cristobal or Rhule, Cristobal is a bammer so not sure we go that route again.
So, Rhule, im in.
With the Haslams back in power, ive had this feeling whoever it is will have NFL ties.

Why is MC a Bamer ?

Eric M. Bieniemy. I would love that Kansas City offense here.

I couldn't put it into words how much I would love that hire. Guy is a damn genius. Just not sure he would stay here long term.

 

[HankHill]

Would love to see the look Michigan fan’s face if Harbaugh is able to put it together and lead the Vols to the playoffs instead of his Alma Mater.

They act like they he’s the worst coach on the planet lol. It’s so weird

 

[Squoshua17]

I don’t think this could realistically happen - for starters because he has never coached college before - but what are the chances we kick the tires on Sean McVay? I’ve seen it posted that we were thinking bigger than Kiffin... Well, that would certainly be bigger. Offensive minded, young, proven winner... We could literally double his salary, as he only makes about 4 million a year, and it would be warranted. I know he’s a career NFL guy though, so I’m sure this will never happen. I’d sure try though.

Why is MC a Bamer ?

I know he coached there for a few years.
I have very strong Bama PTSD right now. TBH I don't want any coach who has touched that program

 

[Blake25p]

I asked this question earlier though, would Kelly want to come here and play Saban every year?

Maybe if he feels he can recruit the same caliber player he can beat him. You know these coaches egos are huge and want to prove they’re the best.

Andy Reid runs that offense

my god if this was in neyland.

Sorry Hank- no thanks to Fleck. He doesn’t excite me at all

Don’t worry I’ll save you a seat on the boat after his opening presser

Rhule already tired of the NFL after one year?

 

[HankHill]

Eric has a lot of say in the play calling and game planning. He’s not being hired Bc of his stuff back in Colorado.... which is dumb.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Eric M. Bieniemy. I would love that Kansas City offense here. Not sure he’s worth 7 mil though.

That’s not his offense be real.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Rhule already tired of the NFL after one year?

Who knows, but maybe he will be given 7 million reasons to be.

 

[VolDaddy87]

Do some of you ever sleep? I've been following along for the better part of 16 hours today, and some of y'all have been here the whole time. I'm impressed.

Ive read Eric is the play caller

 

[Blake25p]

I’m sure he wouldn’t Rhule it out...

 

[UTwild82]

Haven’t really thought of Kelly leaving ND but maybe he knows he can’t win a championship with the type of guys he has to recruit, maybe he wants to come to an SEC school and prove that he can win.

IF the 7 million number is in fact legit, maybe he listens. I don't think he makes anywhere near that at ND does he?

 

[Volnut]

Do some of you ever sleep? I've been following along for the better part of 16 hours today, and some of y'all have been here the whole time. I'm impressed.

You weren’t here for the Grumors?

 

[BruinVol]

Ive read Eric is the play caller

Don’t think so

here is a quote from recent article


Bieniemy clearly has demonstrated play-calling abilities throughout the past two seasons in Kansas City, even though Reid is the primary play caller. Whether Bieniemy's involvement in calling plays is unclear, he downplayed the entire situation.

 

[tomq_123]

Auburn people were told by their insiders that Lane wanted their job too.

That's because Lane wants attention.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

So here's food for thought.
Who were the early favorites for the AD job? Ingram and Gilbert. Scott Carter was mentioned as well.
We have new leadership, on the hill, things have been extremely tight lipped. How many radio personalities were talking about Danny White? Literally besides @BruinVol being random as hell, I don't think I heard white mentioned until just before the hire was made last night.

I like Kiffin, I wanted him back in 17. But I feel very confident in saying we haven't brought up the name of who the coach is going to end up being. Or at least beat the dead horse on their name over and over.
