Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[jakez4ut]

Is this the nut punch? A random name drop by Hyams? I would be so let down lol

hubbs dropped Dykes yesterday. i think they're all just dot connecting based on past relationships or family ties etc.......i don't think that's case of "real intel"....by either one, and Hubbs basically said that in a later post last night.

 

[Aesius]

With that list Hyams put out I'd rather we just dive back to 2010 and pull Troy Calhoun out of obscurity.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

There is no way it’s Sonny Dykes. Like ZERO.

But....

If it is Sonny Dykes and we hire him over Kiffin because of some dumb “Kiffin is immature” narrative then TN football is beyond broken and doesn’t deserve our support.

 

[volinbama256]

Hermans should be. I would still love freeze.

Yes---- look, I know the hesitation with Freeze and Kiffin.... but seriously--- these guys have proven coaching records and have both been successful navigating the SEC, they know it, breath it, and flourish in it. The main thing with me on these two are the fact that they aren't scared to be innovative and creative (would let staff do their jobs and not micromanage) and most importantly in this conference--- THEY CAN RECRUIT LIKE STUDS.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

Are y'all ready for JG to come back and begin his retirement tour?

VN needs to band together and block the interstate exits

 

[volbeast33]

Dykes is a really hard pass. Sigh.... All the names being thrown around by media don't have me very excited. It's just going to be more of the same if any of these hires are made

Might as well pick the staff off of volnation if we decide to go the sonny dykes route.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

If Tony Elliott comes here does he have to keep letting Dabo have sex with his wife?

I’m not familiar with how cults work, exactly.

 

["It's Time"]

We just paid 2 million for the arguably the best AD in the country, and are openly saying we’ve got FU money to spend.

I trust them to not hire a mcgoogle. Patience is key.

 

[jakez4ut]

Substance matters jake..... Throw some % in your posts and they’ll be received in a more positive light. Lol

well, if you read them..................................................

sigh.

lol.

 

[BJWeeks]

Based on past 10 years. I'm so glad things are changing

Boy that is an uninspiring list.

Comfort yourself knowing these are wild ass guesses from HIM. He’s not tuned in.

 

[bigorangecrush89]

Leipold is probably the least bad of those three Hyams names, and he hasnt even won the MAC after being there 6 years.

 

[orangeB]

I think the hire will be fast if they want to get the players out of the portal. Players in the portal have until January 27 to get to classes.

 

[Volator]

One thing about Leipold, don’t think he was in the mix at UCF when Frost left so doubt DW would consider him for UT.

 

[Dudleys87]

one thing that I can't wait for with White, is him not giving godly contract extensions for no reason to keep a mediocre coach.

If I were Harper I’d be sweating...

 

[BogeyVol]

You're headed down the wrong path by assuming we have to spend $7M on a candidate.

No, but if those are what you end up with when you CAN spend $7M, then we haven't improved at all.

Rucker is the go-to person for those types of questions

 

[VOLUNTEERSZN]

So clearly nobody in the media knows a damn thing about what’s going on rn

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Dykes?

Are you ******* kidding me?

Just shut the program down if they go that route.

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

Serious question, why? His record has been extremely meh...

Interesting IMO because he's def an offensive guru, and a developer of QBs. He didn't get W/L results at Cal, but who does? He developed the heck out of Jared Goff. He's had big success at two places that are traditionally pretty hard to win at -- La Tech and SMU. He wouldn't be at or really near the top of my list, but he certainly checks some boxes since he's an offensive minded guy with plenty of HC experience.

I think we could do far worse.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

If this is still the same old UT, they are dropping disappointing names to offset the incoming less than ideal hire. Let’s hope it’s not the same old UT

 

[Dudleys87]

Wildcard: Cristobal

He wants back in the south and is pulling 5 stars out to Oregon, has them looking pretty good and won Pac-12 coach of the year.

Interesting.

 

[Blake25p]

Keep in mind who @Atlanta VOL said to listen to in the media when it comes to potential candidates.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Just every other weekend I think.

 

[BSOVOL1967]

Wow, I hope it is not Sonny Dykes, he got fired at California.. If we got to him, would much rather have Chadwell, the guy at Buffalo - Lance Leipold or even the OC at Clemson - Tony Elliott.. Sonny Dykes being hired would be very uninspiring.
