Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Ron Swanson]

No, I'm down and out on the candidates that seem to be the front runners. I'm reserving judgement until I see the hire.

Never go full bass.

 

[Orange Studs]

Dykes scares the piss out of me so if this is a traditional Tennessee coaching search he will be the pick.

White didn't get his good rep by making these kinds of hires. I think we are so use to getting those types of hires that its hard for us to believe that someone will actually kill it in hiring a new coach.

 

[WarMachine]

No other ADs could have provided that?

Not saying no, but we don't have a good track record of that.

 

[VolGee4]

I didn't say he sucks. I said we may have overpaid.

We actually did the opposite of what you’ve been complaining about for years- we ponies up for someone who was coveted. Now, you are criticizing that.

 

[Headvol]

How is this team so bad without a true freshman Springer? Shouldnt we have guys that should be able to carry his weight. We have no offensive or defensive identity anymore. So weird. Vescovi and Fulk are terrible

Bc vescovi can’t guard me!

 

[m1al]

No, I'm down and out on the candidates that seem to be the front runners. I'm reserving judgement until I see the hire.

I really wouldn't believe anything you're hearing right now.. White has this thing on lockdown. A lot of people that know nothing are slinging sh!t to see if anything sticks...

 

[DustyRockSolid]

The SEC is completely different

Its crazy people just assume because he did well in that scenario, he could just walk into the SEC and succeed, no questions asked.
I don't think he can do it, dude. He is a good hire if youre a smaller school with a weaker schedule and lower expectations. He isn't gonna win the east in the SEC tho.

 

[Ten_Titans]

I am a firm no on Fleck. Just can’t stomach him.

If you think Fleck can win the SEC with consistent 20-25 ranked classes, go for it.

But that isn't going to happen.

 

[amazingGRACE]

Lol, who are you hiring?

Tony Elliott is a great offensive mind

 

[InVOLuntary]

Wow you wouldn’t be happy with MC?

Absolutely would. He's an "A" lister for sure. I'm talking about the other coaches being mentioned. If we hire another coordinator, I don't care who he coaches for, we've learned nothing.

 

[Headvol]

So some y'all are convinced were gonna hire
Butch Jones 2.0, an OC or Sonny lmao Dykes. Damn

It’s called battered Vol syndrome

 

[SLICKYINC]

No other ADs could have provided that?

You’re my guy and all but how much of that money is yours.? I’ll be honest they get a few bucks from ticket sales, shirts, hats etc out of me. I really couldn’t care less how much they spend. The money is there.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Whats different about instilling the right culture?
What's different about getting back to a 9 win program?
Fleck can do both if those things.

He’s a bad fit here.

 

[turdherder11]

JJJ and VB scoring Pts. Now on the bench. Pember and Gains in.....wtf?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

He’s a bad fit here.

Lazy take. Butch wasn't a bad fit until he didn't win.

 

[SLICKYINC]

I think you've been awesome with your hires at UCF Danny White....... with that being said... This Is TN... Don't F@$k this up! Our fanbase is alot larger than UCF..Thanks

He ain’t gonna read this...

 

[BruinVol]

Absolutely would. He's an "A" lister for sure. I'm talking about the other coaches being mentioned. If we hire another coordinator, I don't care who he coaches for, we've learned nothing.

In our 4 hires since fulmer 3/4 have been head coaches.

I don’t know why we think we have to hire a coach with Head coaching experience

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Some of you have lost your minds tonight

Hey....we Tennessee...wait til they announce Sonny Dykes and everyone starts trying to spin it as a "we back" hire.

 

[TheRain]

So some y'all are convinced we're gonna hire
Butch Jones 2.0, an OC or Sonny lmao Dykes. Damn

White had a good run on the hill...

 

[InVOLuntary]

Not saying no, but we don't have a good track record of that.

There are many other ADs that could do that for half the money. We paid this kind of money to bring back football. That starts with a great hire. Let's see who he hires.

 

[PolkVol]

He ain’t gonna read this...

I know...but thought I'd try....blame the Makers Mark

 

[Devo182]

"Now Fleck is among the names that sources tell FootballScoop has been identified and vetted by Parker Executive Search for the opening at the University of Tennessee."

C'mon Danny Dubs we can do better

This may or may not be delusional.

I like to think the same, but outsiders say we don't get how bad this job is atm. And they may just be right. Sure were the last 3 times. Clemson board doesn't even think he'd accept our offer...and people here are hating that option...

 

[White Bread]

If you think Fleck can win the SEC with consistent 20-25 ranked classes, go for it.

But that isn't going to happen.

It’s just his act, I can’t even listen to him talk.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Lazy take. Butch wasn't a bad fit until he didn't win.

He’s Butch 2.0

Not arguing but he’s never going to win the East here.

 

[VOL608]

Anthony Lynn just went to the Lions as OC. He gets him a dual threat qb, watch out.

It’s still the Lions.
