Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[OGbabyaviVol]

Yep he made a move to a place that he can’t recruit consistently to his scheme. It wasn’t the right move. You see bits and pieces where his imprint is showing as some of them boys will lay a damn lick in that Nebraska defense. He just can’t get the guys he needs there. He should consider a business decision and move where he can get the athlete he needs again.

NV31, do you think he would win big here? He can get those athletes consistently at TN.

UTK's Coaching Hotboard. Let's start with 10 names because lol why not. Obviously a lot has gone down and perception has changed drastically. I trust AV when he says current head coach, so no coordinators or former HCs.

1. Lane Kiffin
2. Matt Campbell
3. Luke Fickell
4. Hugh Freeze
5. Lance Leipold
6. PJ Fleck
7. Jamey Chadwell
8. Tom Allen
9. Billy Napier
10. James Franklin

How about Kiff kingsbury would he come back to college

 

[scienceteaching_vol]

Well I don’t know why AV would give the clue of Chris Low if he didn’t expect us to run face first into Kiffin.

This search is super tight lipped like the search for the athletic director. It might be the Low hasn't got the goods yet but AV is saying to listen because he will.

In dying on the Kiffin train. (Lane Train)

I will die on that hill beside you waving the lane train flag

Makes me wonder if White knows Frost is a winner and just chose a bad situation with his heart. Maybe White knows he would win big at a place like Tennessee, where he can get that elite talent to succeed? His name hasn’t been thrown around any.

I had it bad for Frost last go around. I still believe!

Maybe, an interesting name, but I trust AV that it will be a current HC. So he doesn't fit that criteria.

How many of you were logged on VN the night Kiffin bolted? Man what a wild time that was. I think the board crashed within minutes. My brain doesn’t have the capacity to even begin processing the thought of Kiffin coming back. Hiring him would be VERY polarizing but no matter which side you fall on, it will be extremely personal to every Vol fan. Maybe a chance to heal a deep wound and close out a long dark chapter of Vol history. Sign me up.

Frost is probably better than his results at Nebraska but I just can’t see hiring a coach that is failing in a major college program over coaches that are excelling in lower tier programs. It’s easier to sell a winner.

Kiffin
Freeze
Fickell
Top 3 after those don’t really care

[Deebowbear]

If you had to pick one of the follow as coach who would it be?

Sweeney, Day, or Riley

For the record this isn’t serious.

Hard choice but probably Sweeney 1 Riley 2 day 3

 

[UTK]

Kiffin
Freeze
Fickell

Campbell deserves to be in with that group. Then I think there's a drop-off for sure.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I honestly think that’s an indirect shot at Bama and Georgia. Mark knows they are cheating way above everyone else, and he’s probably hoping with this happening to Pruitt that a target will eventually get put on those 2 programs to level the playing field a little.

Why do I keep hearing AC/DC's Thunderstruck intro in my head but instead of thunder! It's Donde! Ahhhhhhhahhhh Donde!

There is no proof that Frost can win big at Tenn. Big 10 is not the SEC and he cant win there. That would be a big let down if he was the name.

 

[tnvols72]

James Franklin?

No way, if Schiano was a no Franklin is a no and I do not like neither one

 

[VFLPastor]

Here's an interesting list. Take the current NCAA HC list on Wikipedia. Sort by career win pct.

Any names that are NOT being talked about jump off at you?

That’s the spirit!

The timelines don't match.
AV has made it seem like the hire has already been made. AV even mentioned candidates had been getting vetted for weeks. Basilio has been spot on and 1 he does not seem high on Kiffin 2 if Kiffin just reached out he is behind in the game.
3. Ingram and Gilbert were the names the media ran with before White came out at the 11th hour.
I don't think Kiffin is a foregone conclusion, but if it ends up being him I would be extremely happy with it.

Who is to say Basilio timeline isn't delayed to reality?

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

What’s this in the war room about Eric Gray possibly coming back?

Hubbs.... buddy..... no sources here but it seems pretty damned clear the young man is one of the kids that we’re getting in trouble for. You come off as clueless and out of touch by not acknowledging that this investigation is what is leading to these kids transferring out.

 

[RikidyBones]

I spend one season coaching at ole miss and these impostors think they can build up their credibility by pretending to be me. There's really only one outcome here and it involves a waffle house.

You made your avi in MS Paint and expect zero competition. Your time is done here.

 

[drylo]

Hubbs and VQ either have no idea because they are out at the moment of close contacts in the AD or they are running interference and misdirection for the real hire.

Smokescreen for sure.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Could it be sure...... But Basillio in his blogin his blog pointed out Kiffin reached out this week..... He has also said Kiffin reached out the day Pruitt is fired. He has been spot on so far with his information.
