Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Dudleys87]

Confirmed we are hiring Chaney

Damn I shouldn’t laugh

 

[seaofORANGE22]

If he can't handle the stress of Washington, he can't handle the SEC

He would smash here. He might only make it for 3-4 years but it would be glorious in my opinion. We would not be firing him.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I think I have cracked the code of who it is. I am not going to say, but @InVOLuntary @volatil and @Sugaray13 will be able to vouch for me when the hire is announced.

None of us are credible.

 

[90 Vol]

I can’t help but feel like we are overlooking someone. I believe at this point we purely need to be focusing in on someone who is a proven program developer, player developer and developer of young men. If you get someone of that mold on the hill they would have the potential to be successful as soon as year 1 with our current roster. I couldn’t give a crud about recruiting ties to the south and all that mess. Recruiting will come with success. But first you need a good developer to be successful.

I think Campbell meets that criteria but I also believe there is someone out there we are missing that also fits this mold.

Who?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

What do we think about Herman right now? His name has kinda fallen off the wagon

 

[butchna]

Cristobal was just a position coach. Oregon wasn’t in as bad shape as us, but they were down.

He’d been a HC. And he took over a team that had posted 7 wins but was 4 seasons removed from playing for the national title.

 

[Vols4us]

Hearing team leaders elected are Cade, carvin, Bailey, Velus, Taylor , butler, flowers, banks and Paxton brooks

Loving these choices. Alphas. Glad to see HB chosen.

 

[JFBanicki]

No bullets... Tennessee got a bad history with weapons and such.

We’re still shell shocked from all those “Boom”‘s that blew up in our face!

 

[Air_Force_Vol27]

I'm still on the Tom Herman train. I dont thing Campbell is realistic but would be an amazing hire.

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

There’s no way we ponied up the money we did for the AD we wanted just to settle on a 1st time head coach. Plowman and Boyd’s comments are almost guaranteeing that. It will be a proven head coach from either college or the NFL that has proven that they can build up a program. No way it’s gonna be Elliot or any other coordinator/first time head coach. This job is too big for that. Especially right now.

 

[BloodShovel]

If white thinks a coordinator has potential to be better than anyone who would need FU money then he should hire the coordinator. Bottom line is he is going to hire who he thinks will win the most games.

At this time in the program do you take that risk if your him? We will see.

 

[VolByLaw]

One thing I like about DW is how he handled the Josh Heupel contract after Frost left. $1.7 million per year but had a $10 million buyout until 2020 (signed in 2017). Knew his job was attractive and made sure his next guy couldn't jump ship. If only Mike Hamilton had thought of such a concept.

 

[tomq_123]

No one has sources on this. Agents, media, fans are all throwing names out there. No coach is getting a raise unless it’s the one that comes to Tennessee.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Watching random NBA highlights..bro if Allen Iverson was 3-4 inches taller, he would be the best player all time, firmly believe that.

If Shaq had a better work ethic and took care of his body, he’d be the GOAT.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

SIAP but @Stoerner Fumbles says Freeze and Chadwell will not be interviewed or hired.

*I hate that, I really wanted it to be Freeze

 

[Smokey'sHandler]

Who?

That’s the question of the day in my mind. I do believe that eliminates Riley though. Riley piggybacked success from Stoops. There’s a big difference in taking over a program in our state and taking over the program there at OU.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Huge that they selected HB

No doubt. Now if we can just get a coach that can develop him into a top draft pick. Would make the VOLS competitive early.

 

[Vols_Life]

Maybe follow this model:

HC: Bob (the builder) Stoops
OC: Elliot (HC in waiting)
DC: Steele

Other current staff remains as needed.

Would have been able to vet these remaining staffers with Stoops and no one would have been privy to such info....got to love coaching searches!

I still want Kiffin, but would totally be ecstatic with this FU money type scenario

 

[Dudleys87]

It wouldn’t surprise me if they threw names out to see the reactions...

nobody has a clue. Nobody is gonna get a tip. Nobody is gonna break the story.

Everything will be on DW watch and it won’t matter if we wait 7 hrs or 7 days.

 

[bpvol]

40?

I just want to win for all intensive porpoises.

Fixed your post...

David Shaw. Brian Kelly. Kyle Whittingham

With how this AD is appearing to work i don't believe anyone knows anything currently

I honestly think ponying up for White was as much about mitigating the potential NCAA sanctions as it was hiring the next coach. Hiring white helps protect the entire athletic department because of his family. We’re also on the verge of taking next steps and becoming powers in basketball, baseball, and men’s golf. I think White can elevate all our programs.
