Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Campbell, Fleck, and Fickell in the 1st tier?

Leipold #1 in the 2nd tier, IMO. The guy is a winner. He’ll win in the SEC given the chance.

One of my favorite Matt Campbell tidbits, he quietly took additional pay cuts this year on top of his standard institutional 10% paycut to keep his staff from having to take as large a paycut...

Meanwhile our staff... well we know what happened here.

What kind of offense does campbell run?

One that WINS at Iowa farking State!!

Atlanta Vol says he is over the moon and said something about head room.

Re over the moon - that is where the stars are. The starship Enterprise travels among the stars. Captain Kirk commands the Enterprise. Kirk was from Iowa. Matt Campbell coaches at Iowa St.

Re the head room comment - it's not about size/height, but ego. Matt Campbell has turned down NFL opportunities. Some think it's his ego.

The person behind the mask is Matt Campbell.

Ken Jeong has nothing on me.........

I’ll just say it: I trust Danny White period. Whoever the hire is outside of Steele or a 60 something former NFL coach. He knows what he’s doing.

 

[Catbone]

I bet something leaks Monday and it's official by mid week

 

[engineerVOL]

AP just said after feeling ok about Wanya, things seem up in the air now. He is unsure about Henry, but vibes seem to be positive in that camp.

feeling OK(lahoma)? as in he’s trending Oklahoma or feeling okay like he’s trending back towards Tennessee?

 

[lilesrt]

I like Chadwell more than Napier.

No way. Napier all the way.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Ok, I'll take a stab at it. Lets see now, moon, cow jumped over. Texas has lots of cows, so are any of our prospective coaches from Texas? If so, there's our man.

We did that and came up with Herman so we moved on lol.

Yea that still pisses me off about this staff. Can’t wait to see them go except Jay.

Everyone trying to decipher @Atlanta VOL’s message about head room....anyone considered that he was just talking about himself?? Maybe he is like 6’8” and doesn’t fit well on that particular plane

 

[SweetasSoda]

Holy hell. When I saw "Elliott" earlier I thought you all meant Shawn Elliott from Ga St

Now...Tony Elliott..is a name I can get behind. Thank god.

Getting every 10 posts gets confusing!

 

[Smokey123]

If it’s Campbell I might cry tears of joy. Home run hire, instantly a top 4 coach in the SEC

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

I need @Atlanta VOL to drop in with a and just walk away.

Probably means enough room for everyone on the plane. Gotta bring back a family?

 

[Vfl2407]

My top choices are now:
Lou Holtz
Skip Holtz

 

[amazingGRACE]

So we went from Kiffin to Riley to Elliott to Campbell now to Napier in a span of about 6 hours. People measuring the dimensions of private jets & googling the height of coaches around the country.

What an absolute thrill it is to be a part of another Tennessee coaching search. It’s like drugs but better. I really missed you fools.

AV is Doug Atkins son confirmed

I don't think Wanya was accepted at OU due to academic issues. He can just go somewhere else IMO.

Earlier things seemed like Wanya could be considering staying, now its not so ( Rumor was Wanya didn't have the grades to get into OU)

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

I know we’ve occasionally used Alan Jones’ Falcon 900. You would have to listen to Chattanooga’s frequencies to hear where that aircraft is flying.

 

[Catbone]

No way. Napier all the way.

Ehhhh idk

Big Darel looking to be stepping up as a vocal leader. Definitely something this team needs. Good on him!

was thinking the same thing
