Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[NochNoch]

If we hire Fleck i'll probably just lose interest in Tennessee football.

Sounds like a win for them

 

[SweetasSoda]

Exactly - he or his associates are intentionally planting names they don’t represent to drive negative reaction. Muddying the waters for DW in hopes it forces him to fold to influences of boosters who are tightly linked to Sexton

Thought someone said DW was going to be insulated from boosters.

 

[goooooovols]

Yeah I’d rather have Chadwell & I know that goes against what most are feeling

Agreed

 

[RDU VOL#14]

If he’s not going to be here, chance he get to stay are slim if new coach wants his own people

I’d prefer him not to be helping UNC recruit against us anymore than they already are.

 

[MarcoVol]

Sounds like some crap Chris Childers would enjoy saying. That little clown irks me.

No no Childers actually LOVES DW. He truly believes whatever hire DW makes is the right one.

Said he understands Vols’ fans skepticism of another coaching search but DW is the guy and we are in good hands.

 

[JCVol00]

You went through all that to end up in the middle of Fleck & Dykes. Might wanna go back to sleep.

Feels like a nightmare

 

[goooooovols]

Have you been laying attention at all to what's happened the last 15 to 20 years culminating in the disaster that just played out.

I mean we did well to get the best possible guy to fix it but these aren't the Vols of the 90's and early 2000's. Elite coaches aren't seeking this job out.

ADs probably don’t want the challenge either....

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Welp, got my hopes up for Campbell. It’s gonna be Elliot. Hope he turns out to be good. Didn’t think we would take this big of a risk but oh well

You really need to start drinking alcohol to calm your nerves

That’s good. I didn’t listen at all this week, but I’ve heard him trash the program in the past.

 

[goooooovols]

Elliot > Dykes

We have absolutely zero info to back that up, in fact the experience at head coach suggest Dykes is the safer hire

At lease he has enthusiasm unless our previous coach.

FLECK? Smh

 

[Fairacres Vol]

So we should assume a coach is good for UT based on personal life?

No but it earns my respect for him as a person and a leader of young people.

 

[Weezer]

Thought someone said DW was going to be insulted from boosters.

Why would the boosters insult DW?

 

[all_volz]

Off-topic: Has anyone ever purchased a bed from Helix or Casper? Quick review requested. My bride's back is terrible. Looking to make sleep less awful.

[BruinVol]

So who reported Fleck was involved ?

 

[VolGee4]

It's different in this job. It chews up and spits out inexperienced and unprepared coaches. If we were going to hire a "b" level or below coach, should not have went "A" on the AD.

You have to trust his process and hire. He has proven he can do it. This is not a “hope he can hire a good coach.” Literally his entire career as AD, he has made good hires. Not sure why we do this to people. Some were doing it to Plowman until they realized she could actually hire competent people. Except for Rick Barnes, Danny White is probably the best thing to happen in our AD in 10 years.

Fleck isn’t inexperienced or unprepared. Maybe not my first choice, but this won’t be his first rodeo.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Maybe DW is floating Dykes just so we will be so grateful it's not him that we will be very happy with Elliott.

I am kidding. I really don't think there's any chance it's Dykes.

Brice’s article is sourced from assistant coaches these candidates are calling to ask about the Tennessee job. It isn’t sourced from DW or someone at Tennessee.

 

[PolkVol]

I know fans don't choose coaches...I get what he said....But White has never been in charge of a fan base this large and crazy dedicated....I believe he will pick a good hire from his track record, but I still really believe the coach that would bring the most energy to fans and players is Kiffin... not vetting him regardless of how he left here in the past would be stupid...so I hope they at least talk to him

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

Has any media people in Iowa asked Campbell if he has any interest in the Tennessee job or do they not think about football 24/7 like we do in the south?

 

[CoalVol2020]

Don't understand the comparison of Butch and Fleck.

Makes no sense to me. They are literally two different people.

You mean they are two different 'individuals'

 

[Kingston Vol]

Welp, got my hopes up for Campbell. It’s gonna be Elliot. Hope he turns out to be good. Didn’t think we would take this big of a risk but oh well

I am operating like this is Elliott’s job as well.

 

[Girth Brooks]

Can confirm they don’t.

 

[volswillrise12]

Hey ya’ll any updates on the search other then we have some histrionics on hiring Fleck or Elliot? Keep calm. Let DW do his job.
