Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[volswillrise12]

I don’t like James Franklin. I don’t trust his character.

I’d still take him. He can’t be any worse than what we’ve had..doubt it’s him.

If Campbell isn’t the whale, then I can’t imagine what other candidates would be considered one.

Fleck isn’t. Franklin isn’t (and he sucks as a human being). Lincoln Riley is but seriously doubt he would come here. None of the other SEC coaches fit the bill.

If it ends up being TE, I hope we at least get confirmation on here from AV on who the whale was because I am dying to know lol.

Fickell or Christobel could be.

 

[SLICKYINC]

I don’t like James Franklin. I don’t trust his character.

He hits zero bullet points of integrity, trust, moral compass etc.

 

[vmivol00]

Longer this goes, the more I’m liking the thought of Cristobal.. big time recruiter, offensive minded, brings the toughness you want in a head coach... checks all the boxes

I don’t understand the Cristobal hype. His record is not very impressive. One good year...that’s it.

 

[Govolsman98]

Wrong Elliot. It's going to be Shawn Elliot. Dude can flat out win here.....

No

 

[BearCat204]

When is Joe Rogan gonna stop being a coward and finally enter the octagon?

Dude makes exponentially more money doing what he does than having to train to fight in the UFC.

 

[NeverWe'llSever]

I don’t like James Franklin. I don’t trust his character.

That’s fair.

 

[MarcoVol]

How much is it?

Cristobal’s buyout to leave UO, presently $8 million, increases to $9 million through Jan. 14, 2022, and decreases annually to $6.5 million, $4 million, $2 million and $1 million, respectively, and $1 million again if the additional year is enacted

 

[Weezer]

Doubt any Vol fan would object. There’d be some idiots that object on Social Media, but they’d be doing fist pumps deep down.

I'm a Vol fan and I'd object. I don't think it's idiotic to hope a guy who covered up rapes at Vandy doesn't get the job.

Can you imagine Auburn if that happened???

 

[NoogaVol96]

SIAP

 

[JT3]

Hard pass for me with James Franklin.

 

[pismonque]

Would love to have Cristobal. Not sure how realistic of an opinion he is though.

I don’t know, he’s had a couple good seasons but it’ll be interesting to see how he does without Herbert.

 

[james_govols]

Bob_Vols from 247 seems optimistic (not):

If it is then that means we missed on others and he is the best available. I would take Elliot over a lot of sitting HCs and that includes some in the SEC currently. Bottomline is it won’t be for lack of trying. Money or not, our situation is not attractive. If White pulls out a good coach he should have a street named after him.

 

[RockyTop411]

How much is it?

Details of Mario Cristobal's extension with the Oregon Ducks revealed

Signed an extension a month ago for 6 years, $27.3m. Buyout is 80% of what is left on his deal. Not exactly sure

Ain’t my money. Back. The. Truck. Up.

 

[SweetasSoda]

White interviewed Elliott for the UCF job last time and went with Heupel. What did he think? Elliott is too good for this job...Let’s hire a worse candidate instead? Of course not, if Elliott wasn’t good enough for the UCF job, why would he be the guy for this job?

I've been wondering about that.

 

[BearCat204]

How much is it?

$9M

Damn. Would need some serious FU money to pay that, his salary, and his staff ...

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Imo, Dustin vs Chandler, winner gets Khabib

Dustin vs Oliveira for title (if Khabib is retired)
Chandler vs Justin/Tony
Connor vs Tony/Hooker

He could at least do one fight against Poirier. It would be very entertaining

 

[Orangeredblooded]

That’s fine Pruitt did a ton for him. He just sucks as a head coach

That picture just reaffirms, that while JP was a mistake and I’m glad he’s gone, that I hope he and any HC really makes an impact on those young men’s lives.

 

[SweetasSoda]

I don’t like James Franklin. I don’t trust his character.

He doesn't check the integrity and leader of young men boxes.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

It won’t be James Franklin.

He’s a POS that changed his story during the rape scandal that went on at Vandy.

Bob Vols knows nothing. 48 hours ago he was talking about how he really thought Kiffin had a good shot at the job. Kiffin probably hasn’t even received a phone call.
