Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Ten_Titans]

You have no faith in the guy that we just hired as AD? The guy that was probably more qualified than any dummy they we’ve had as AD? Ok.

It's like the Wes Rucker tweet from a few days ago.

Danny White vs a decade of dysfunction.

Elliott would land every one of those instate 22’ kids. He’d do much more with the talent than Pruitt ever did.

There is zero basis for this statement. I hate to dish out some reality but in 2021 Clemson without Elliott would have a much better recruiting class than Tennessee with Elliott. If Clemson, Ohio State or Alabama were heavily after the top 10 players in state. We would be doing fantastic to get half.

Said the same thing about Pruitt.

News flash

every assistant coach isn’t Pruitt

 

[Kristy*]

Before you guys make the same mistake I did. Look up the row the boat saying by fleck. Look where it came from. I feel bad now.

Some people have and still have a ****** take.

I think it’s sad and disgusting that he exploits the story of his son and uses goofy phrases to raise his profile. Screams Butch...but worse.

 

[Batman1948]

Moreso the fact that Dabo hasn't had to replace a coordinator since they made their first playoff appearance in 15'.
Venables apparently has had HC options he has turned down more than once.
And the OC has only changed once since Morris took the job 10 years ago.
Which is odd for a team on that has been at or on top for extended stretch.

Saban on the other hand has won NCs with completely different staffs

It hasn't hurt Saban because he has 5 stars in his 3 deep rotation. No one wins National Championships without great players. If Saban didn't have 5 star recruits, he would just be another head coach.

man, 2007 was a ling time ago bra

 

[VFLPastor]

Ok. We made it through church. Who did we get? Well???

 

[Weezer]

have there been any Yabo or Nick assistants who went on to be successful head coaches? Kirby dumb, notwithstanding.

Napier has worked for both, hasn't he?

Said the same about Pruitt...

joking but true

 

[Bigworm87]

You're right about Tennessee having tradition. The only problem with that statement is that our tradition was 20 years ago. If you're hanging your hat on our current traditions, you're hanging it in the wrong place.

Have enough tradition and resources where you dont have to hire a coordinator. Yeah.

I’m still waiting on a Freeze revival

Still dont understand what any of them have to do with Tony Elliott.

 

[1world1love]

Wow. The Elliot hate seems more than a little irrational.

On one hand, I definitely see the benefit of having an experienced HC, but I would much rather have TE than some of the HC names being thrown around. He has been kicking our ass in recruiting for a few years now, runs the perfect offense for us, and would come in highly motivated and energized. That is the culture at Clemson and he has been a big part of it.

If we can get Petersen out of retirement or pull Campbell from ISU, then great, but even then there are no guarantees. Frankly, I think it is a moonshot to try to get a top tier coach here right now, no matter what we offer.

But having DW in place would automatically disqualify any comparison between TE and Pruitt. Having the right AD in place can make all the difference and PF was never the right AD and any coach he hired would have failed. Culture starts at the top.

Headed to Florida it looks like.

Lots more BS, rumors, flashbacks, done deal, and no deal.

 

[VFLPastor]

Are we still fighting about coordinator vs standing hc. Someone bump the jukebox, it's skipping again. Aight?

 

[volatil]

Ok. We made it through church. Who did we get? Well???

Preacher man is funny

 

[herkyvol]

Bring on Cutcliffe 5 year, $15 Million. Elliot AHC/OC

Adds respectability during the sanctions.

Does Daddy Kevin a favor.

Lands Arch Manning in 2023

Familiar with much of current staff.

Urban Meyer it is.

 

[Smokeyshowl66]

Where are you getting that from?

An agent that works primarily with NFL players - he doesn’t have info on specific names, but is aware of certain parameters in play. As well as some of the games Sexton’s team is playing

 

[manndingo]

Yep, I've turned down projects that aren't what I'm looking for at that particular time. And I've taken a few projects just because the money was too good to pass up and they, predictably, weren't the best experiences. Coaches are no different. They could pass because of timing, location, family, fit, personal goals or any number of factors. We need a guy who wants to be at UT, is up for the challenge, meshes well with our personnel, wants to win and is ready to rebuild.

I can think of a couple of guys that fit that criteria but Tennessee won’t even touch them...You’d think by the time you got told no by your top 5 it’s time for a new top 5 and we shouldn’t hire another coordinator in that top 10...If we do either White is fos or everyone turned us down without even trying to get a raise from their current employer.

 

[drvenner]

Fleck is now my number two. Followed by Ellliottt.

 

[Power T-Rev]

Yeah Elliott has done impressive things but let’s be honest - Clemson has elite SEC talent playing ACC competition. Numbers are skewed.

Like playing Madden on Rookie difficulty

Danny White going back to UCF after the first 10 candidates said hell no.
