Top 5 post ever.

But Danny White said from his own mouth that the hire would be a sitting HC.

When?

I know he was asked that specific question, and I know he dodged it. Did I miss something else?

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

He will get tossed by halftime when he plays Bama

Then Elliot will have his chance to practice being a HC while we beat them in the second half.

I’m still way behind in this thread, so who knows what’s happened in the last 30 pages. I’ll say this-

Elliott seems to have a good story, and I’m on board. But we have to be the first school in history to hire both coordinators before a HC.

 

[SPEDVoL14]

I think based on Austin’s note regarding Napier and his openness to White, It is likely he could be the “whale.”

Can’t see Campbell turning down the NFL for Tennessee.

 

[jpope9]

Tom Allen at Indiana I believe fits the mold we are looking for as well. Although he is more of a defensive minded coach.

A guy that Pruitt beat with JG? Nah.......

Incorrect.

HC Campbell
HCIW/OC Elliott

The energy level would be through the roof

If Campbell came here I would hope it would be for a very long time.

 

[SoilVol]

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

Every position group except RB, and 2 OL.

Also, I'm sure the DBs had a difficult time figuring out who a CB and who was a S lol.

taken from the article:

“Earlier this month, ESPN's Josina Anderson reported that Elliott told the Tennessee Titans and Miami Dolphins he wasn't interested in making the leap from Clemson to the NFL as an assistant coach. The first connection that Elliott had to the NFL was with the Seattle Seahawks, who fired Brian Schottenheimer this month.

Elliott’s success running the ball could be a big reason why Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll initially had interest in Elliott for the position.”

Three of the best ran teams currently were interested in him. One being coached by one of the best coaches of all time.

Not as being head coach. You see to think that NFL interest is infallible. Kliff Kingsbury. How was he in college? How's that working out in the NFL?

 

[SweetasSoda]

A name that might not have been considered yet: Lane fkn Kiffin

You think that is possible?

 

[VolsdeepVFL]

Wonder if Price would consider Frost a “whale”

Lmao

Gruden?

Don't distract him from his sasquatchin.

Dang it! someone beat me with this

You’re taking one name out of all those people. Nothing is an exact science. I don’t love kingsbury but you can’t deny his track record with QBs. He’s also only 2 years in on a complete rebuild and they almost made the playoffs. They went 8-8 this year. Should be in the playoffs next year.

 

[Batman1948]

This is my first Recruiting Forum coaching search, thus my first with Kingston, and I am starting to see why he has a reputation for bad lists lol.

You should have been here for the Gruden threads. Those were epic

[GoBigOrange86]

Finally caught up. If Elliott is the floor and we have to go that direction, I'll understand. But I'm with @Bassmaster_Vol. I don't think it would work out. There is simply too much that needs to be done to fix the program, and a first-time head coach is not going to do it. Riley, Day, Fisher...those guys all inherited much better and much more stable situations than what we have going on here.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

What if it’s Bob Stoops?

Matt Campbell would be a solid hire. Stoops (not Mark, or Mike) would be a whale.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Wonder if Price would consider Frost a “whale”

lol no

Buncha Lisa Loebs up in here. They only hear what they want to.

There are a lot of head coaches who don't make it in the NFL and suck in college. Just because an NFL team expresses interest in a coach to be an assistant doesn't mean they are an elite head coach at a place like TN. That's ridiculous
