Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[jakez4ut]

I think if you look at the supporting cast that lsu had and what burrow did in the nfl with no OL and a nobody HC.... i think for me it’s safe to say burrow was a late bloomer and that’s not to take away from joe Brady. I think Elliot is definitely more “ready” to be a head coach... whatever that means.

If we hired joe Brady i would be very happy too just like i will with tony Elliot. I love the thought process in terms of hiring either one of them and quite frankly the balls on Danny white to be willing to go that route. If there one program that we should replicate ourself after its Clemson. I think they are most comparable to us in terms of structure/footprint.

That's fine. I just think Brady actually has a more diverse resume... And plenty to sell himself on.

Doesn't matter, he's staying in there nfl

Amateur hour. See y'all on the runway #GBO

Hmmm maybe Campbell?

Back on the Campbell Camel

 

[Ron Swanson]

Yes!!! Bring me Campbell!!

Aaaaand Bass is back up the rollercoaster!

 

[I4Jay]

Dabo aint Saban.
the assistants bring tremendous value to Dabo.
Saban makes his assistants look good

Don’t ever confuse the two

I have no doubts Tony and White have probably spoken. But Tony has to be no higher than 4th on the list. Surely

 

[NMVol]

better.

There was a master plan? Pruitt played the role of the Judas Goat?

 

[Volsfaninva917]

HC: Elliot
OC: Martin
RB: Graham
DC: Steele

Fulmer, you glorious bast*rd!

Martin failed at SC as OC with a roster full of 5 Stars, how do you think he would do with this roster

 

[HankHill]

Saban took over a dumpster Alabama didnt he?

Eh that’s over blown. They went to a bowl game 4/5 years before he was hired and two of those years they won 10 games and finished in the top 10 once. People who act like he walked into scorched earth aren’t really being honest.

 

[RikidyBones]

I want to like Napier so bad but man that guy reminds me of Dooley from a personality aspect. I think he thinks he’s a lot bigger than he actually is. That scares me.

That's my contention. He's offensive minded Pruitt and Dooley mixed. That's a big no for me. Napier can stay at bum ass wgaf what LA college he's at.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Then explain to me how joe Brady is that much better of a candidate than Elliot? Because his resume certainly doesn’t back it up.

Joe Brady more than Elliot. No way. Elliot resume way more impressive

 

[Batman1948]

Why is Darnell Washington making this hire?


Wait, never mind.

Volnation is gonna go rogue and make this hire. It's been in the works for years

 

[swampfoxfan]

Productive! Who got voted Treasurer?

Not often but sometimes you do make me laugh, stay safe, I survived covid at 67 with a long history of heart disease. Hope you and yours avoid it, its rough.

 

[JCVol00]

What if we hire Bob Stoops as hc, Toney Elliot as Assistant hc, stoops says he is only staying for 3 years to build the program up, then retires again then we hand the reigns to Elliot

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Aaaaand Bass is back up the rollercoaster!

Campbell is at the top of the coaster. Elliot is lower near the bottom, Steele is the coaster has gone off the rails and crashed with lots of death

 

[zjcvols]

Somebody give me a modern example of a coordinator who walked into a similar situation as us and brought them back into a national contender.

Butch Davis

Key difference being Fooley never won before we hired him. Literally had a losing record the year we hired him from La Tech

 

[LotteryPick]

Facts! Elliott has been with Dabo for a decade. He pulls weight in that program.

 

[NMVol]

Diversion is loyalty, all the pieces are coming together. Y'all are right tho. Campbell would be a good hire. Make his eyes light up young money!

 

[Deebowbear]

I’m ready for the Herm Edwards era at Tennessee

BACK TO THE HUNT LADS

Agree. I have tried to be open minded about a lot of candidates and i know that annoys people but it’s really because i know how powerful our brand is and what it can do for coaches.

I mean my god there were times when everyone on this board thought that butch and Pruitt both were the real deal. Think about how close we were with butch to being right on the cusp of greatness. Imagine what an actual good football coach and leader can do here.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Kiffin is too big of a risk and there is bad blood.

Riley is a pipe dream.

Napier wants too much control and wants LSU.

Campbell is happy where he's at.

Fickell is staying up north.

Freeze is not going to fly with the NCAA on us.

Elliot doesn't have HC experience.

That leaves Brown, Satterfield, Leipold, Frost, Chadwell, and Fleck.

It's gweoing to be Chadwell and I'm fine with that. I'd also take Satterfield and Fleck tbh.

You dont spend $14mil on a AD to hire Chadwell. I could hire Chadwell.

 

[DeepPurpleFloyd]

Aaaaand Bass is back up the rollercoaster!

Bass needs an animated GIF that morphs between his top 5 or so coaches as his avatar to save himself the trouble of changing it on the daily (or hourly).

 

[Govolsman98]

I can't wait to have Campbell here. We would immediately have the best coach in the East
