I hope to a big boy in Iowa

You can be.
Just eat your veggies which would be corn in Iowa. Plus, lift twice your body weight each day.
Then you be a Big Boy.

Gird your loins for James Franklin.

 

[VFL1993]

Someone with inside knowledge please let us know whenever a team meeting is called with White. That means we definitely got our guy

 

[SmokinBob]

Completely hypothetical of course... but how would we feel if it was James Franklin? Lots of success, knows the state, but obvious baggage from the Vandy scandal.

I might’ve said this once or twice....nooooooooooo

 

[franklinpence]

lol dude reeeeellllaaaaxxxx. Our AD was hired a few days ago and nothing is leaking. Questioning anything before someone Is hired is ridiculous. Just breathe, take a walk. Find something else to do for a bit.

For reference, Nick Saban makes $9.3 million, Dabo Swinney makes $8.3 million, Lincoln Riley makes $6.5 million per year, and Ryan Day makes $4.5 million per year.

Who could it be for $8 million per year????

This suspense is killing me.

Campbell.

 

[Wickman]

Is it Lincoln Riley?

 

[Devo182]

But...is it a coach that will unify this fractured fanbase?

Very unlikely. Have yet to see a "unifying" name except Campbell and he's nearly impossible to get if NFL couldn't get him.

Feels like Fleck and TE are 50/50 guys. Half will dislike and half will like.

 

[Smokeyshowl66]

I’m game for all of this except the amount of the $$$$’s getting out before it’s accepted. You’re giving your backup plan leverage if primary target falls through.

 

[BigSteve09]

surely not Gundy??

Only others that fit that criteria for 2017 are Brohm, Gundy, Campbell

Miles and Chip Kelly didn't have a buyout at that time
Stoops, Petersen don't have a buyout now

 

[Power T-Rev]

WELCOME TO ROCKY TOP GREGORY SCHIANO!!!

Banned for life

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

No question.

I will say, I’m not sure why you throw massive money at one coach and then just say “**** it, Tony Elliot” if it doesn’t work out.

I still think we may be all guessing at names here. I dont have any doubt we're trying to pony up and pay, but I'm still not convinced on the names yet. Hopefully find out soon enough.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I heard that we addressed NCAA concerns by offering a rolling five years plus any penalty and over 40mm. Things are squeaky tight, and I don’t know when I’ll know more. I heard that Boyd, White we’re together about 6. I don’t know who it is. If we miss, we go straight to two, and still have a coach tomorrow.

Sounds like #2 has already agreed in principle to the terms.

 

[jakez4ut]

We just made a big boy offer.

 

[ATC_VOL]

Looks like I won't be paying any attention to the 2nd half of this game. Has to be Campbell right?

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

 

[Bigworm87]

There’s only 3 guys worth over 40 million.

Jimmy Chestnut, Joey Freshwater and Lane MF Kiffin...

 

[BruinVol]

Gird your loins for James Franklin.

It would take that kind of money for him too

 

[zjcvols]

No question.

I will say, I’m not sure why you throw massive money at one coach and then just say “**** it, Tony Elliot” if it doesn’t work out.

I would say two reasons:

1) Signing Day is 9 days away. They want to get someone in.

2) They don’t want to start the process of public reactions.

 

[volswillrise12]

My goodness that’s Matt Campbell’s music!!!!

Campbell

 

[rekinhavoc]

He ain't worth it.

 

[jakez4ut]

I apologize in advance for what the alcohol im drinking now, may or may not say later.

Noted

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

I may be wrong here but I bet the booster situation is worse in Texas than here by a long shot. Maybe they are giving him everything including the money.

Our terrible issue that kept coaches away was poor leadership at the top of the University and in the AD. That perception is changing quickly. You also can't discount being able to coach against Saban, Smart, Mullen, and Fisher. Some coaches will get scared off by that and some would love the opportunity.
