Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[nashvol1]

Feels like this is a true search and I am surprised by that.

Unless it’s true that Campbells buyout ends on 2/1

Or they don’t want to get lost in the playoff news today.

We really hired a coach coming off a 4-8 season at LA Tech.... Still can’t believe it

 

[Vols2DaWall]

What the hell kind of list is that

I’ll never get that 4 minutes back. That was a sad attempt at a show

 

[BruinVol]

Well we hired a HC 3 of the last 4 tries. So there’s that....

I just don’t see any evidence out there that says a head coach is the better way. In fact I see it as the opposite

clemson
LSU
Ohio state
Oklahoma

Are all coached by guys that weren’t sitting head coaches

 

[731Vol]

1. Campbell
2. Fickell
3. Fleck
4. Elliot

I think they could all be successful at UT.
Elliott may be able to help w recruiting the most bc of connections to 2022 kids.
If that’s the real list, that’s really good considering it’s late January and we’re looking for a coach.

 

[Orange Studs]

Ole Sab is back.

That dude is a psycho

 

[Volsfaninva917]

He was a senior in ‘08 IIRC and one of those who carried Fulmer off field after UK game. I can see him holding a grudge. Awesome guy though.

Good guy but he needs to text a buddy instead of putting it on Twitter

 

[pismonque]

I don’t think we’re generating enough positive mojo for a completely outlandish, unrealistic, megapowerball hire like Chris Petersen. Because why not? Reel him in, Danny!

 

[UTSuave’]

Spill it hoss

 

[TrippieRedd]

But also... welcome aboard!!!!

Watched some motivational pregame videos and I have no doubt he would bring life to this program and every kid over there would believe they could beat Bama 10/10 times.

 

[buffaloblue]

Very quiet today it seems.

Fickle Fleck sounds like a jab from the 1800s.

Feels like we have swung and missed and are getting a 3 year rental again.

 

[nate from decatur]

Isn't there anyone with orange blood that can right this ship. Surely some quality coach who hates bama, florida, georgia, etc... wants to be here.

 

[captainfalcon777]

As a lifelong Bucs fan, I’m extremely nervous right now. Didn’t expect us to have a chance at Lambeau in the cold

 

[TheDeeble]

If Campbell is the guy I want I’m not going to wait a couple weeks and let 1 million delay taking action if I think he’s the guy that can bring us back to winning seasons and NC contention. Having a winning program will more than pay for that.

 

[m1al]

Boys we are getting played. Not really DW’s fault. Quality coaches just dont want to come here. Hire Elliot and call it a day. I’m tired of hearing about Dummy Dykes, Will Helly, Scott Shitterfield and the rest of the toilet bowl bros.

Stop....

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Ole Sab is back.

Lol that guy needs to disappear

 

[Helton1]

The being really tall didn't apply to the HC, it applied to the fact that the fleets aren't using tiny cessnas. He's also got the best team in the PAC-12 with Nike money. He's not leaving.

He is from Miami. Taking the Oregon job was a no brainer for him as it was high profile and a jump up. Now maybe he wants to be closer back to FL and this would offer that opportunity.

I’m not saying he is leaving, I’m just saying there are more factors to look at.

 

[Govolsman98]

I think Tom Brady is gonna get his 7th ring

 

[BruinVol]

This is common sense

Yet it really isn’t.


The last 4 really bad NcAa issues I can think of were Miami, usc, Ohio state and penn state.

Miami and USC hired sitting head coaches and failed

Ohio state allowed an assistant a year to be an intern and succeeded

Penn state hire an assistant and succeeded

so no it’s not common sense. It’s the opposite really

He’s in a conference that’s not been in the playoff picture in a long time. You are in the SEC you win a SEC title you are in the CFP. If I were looking for a college football coach in the Pac12 looking to compete at a high level I would definitely look into it.

Isn’t that Freeze (and Chadwell)? Especially Freeze.

 

[RockyTop411]

It’s fashionable to think this is the only way to go but history doesn’t agree

USC hired someone with head coaching experience in Lane and failed

Penn state hired a coach without head coaching experience in BOB and he succeeded.

Ohio state allowed an assistant to be an interim for a year and succeeded

Miami hired a head coach in Al Golden and failed

Give me some examples they prove hiring a head coach is the way to go????

Every situation is different. I think it’s a lot easier to hire an assistant, and preferably an assistant on staff, after a successful coach leaves or retires. Like when Urban and Stoops left they replaced them with Day and Riley because the culture and expectations were clear and already set.

When OSU and Alabama were in tail spins, post Tressel and all the pre-Saban coaches, they went out and hired proven winners that got them back on track. I know these are specific examples and nothing is a sure thing, I just think that’s where we’re at right now and why I want a guy that’s been the one running the operation and has had success doing so

 

[KPT_VFL]

Just because the search has been ran properly with no leaks doesn’t mean the search went well. You can run a textbook search and miss on your targets and still land on a mediocre hire.
