Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[InVOLuntary]

Agree and it is even more than just current ncaa stuff. LA has stated we've had to overpay for years because we simply are viewed as toxic and not all that great of a job recently...now we are doubling down on all that. We absolutely have to overpay in a huge way. $6-8mm could be our range for a whole host of 2nd or even 3rd tier options.

I've said for the last two hires the only way out is to buy your way out. The longer it goes the more it cost. Hopefully they've come to that conclusion.

Do you really not understand the difference in hookers, parties and paying players, and covering up gang rape and physical assault?

Beat me by 30 seconds or so .

Seriously though, how can we even be having this conversation?

Dang. Wish @Atlanta VOL would chime in. Even if it’s not info directly related.

I mean...two consenting adults involved with paid sex acts is without question a recruiting violation.

But McGill’s right, there is no way that’s worse than actively helping cover up your players physically assaulting & raping NON-consenting women.

Campbell, Fleck, Fickell, Stoops, Riley, Cristobal sounds amazing!!!!

Easy girl easy We going need you to calm down a little bit lol

Not even a guy feeling or a candidate you prefer?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

It’s someone we’re either not discussing or have barely discussed.

Matt Campbell isn’t an 8 million a year hire IMO.

It’ll be someone we’re all psyched about but I think it’ll be a shocker.

But I’m gonna go to bed tonight and pray to 9lb 8oz baby Jesus all cute in his manger that it’s Lane Fkn Kiffin.

Lane Kiffin sure ain't a 7 million man. Campbell is considered a top 5 coach by pretty much everybody.

Yay, Freeze, Fleck, Franklin...... That leaves the 4th F Fickell... I choose to believe.

 

[KB5252]

So it's OK to "Schiano" Franklin for his past but not Freeze because everyone really wants Freeze? Got it.

Are you really trying to compare "selling it" and rape? Guess they both had it coming?

Freeze, fleck, Fickle maybe four f's

I think Aaron Rodgers has played his last game as a Packer. Would not be surprised if he forces a trade and lands in SF.

About 200 adoring fans patiently lined up along a downtown city block here to meet Matt Campbell on a hot August evening. When their turn came, they whipped out smartphones and snapped selfies with Iowa State’s wunderkind football coach. Campbell signed everything from paper scraps to ball caps before high-fiving many of his fans.

This hoopla went on for about an hour.

“When you talk to Matt, he makes everyone feel like you’re his best friend," Iowa State booster Jon Fleming said. "You talk to him, and after a while, he has a way of making you feel like you’re right there in the coaching offices with him and the players.

“That’s the kind of charm he has."

But how long can this lovefest last?

Listen to football experts outside of Ames, and they're surprised he's even here for a fourth season. In Iowa, the most-known case was when ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit riled up the Iowa State fan base two autumns ago on Twitter.

"Enjoy this team and this coach, in particular, while you can. He’s gone," was among one of his less popular tweets on Oct. 21, 2017.

I think the timing could be right for Matt to move on from ISU. He had 5 years at Toledo and just completed his 5th year at ISU. If he's ready I think we're ready. Let's get to the press conference.

 

[SugarCC]

McGill, refer to my last post, tell me what you think...

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

What is all this moral BS? We are hiring a football coach not a youth pastor.

FTR I don’t care if the head coach spits on babies if he wins like Saban. Give me the right kind of a$$hole.

You're not a good person if morals are a joke to you.

 

[volswillrise12]

Reading is hard I guess

Cool, well appreciate you appealing to me with the sparkling personality. You’ve won me over. Sexual assault bad? Read Good? Anyway you should use your amazing rhetorical skills on a legal blog, Vandy or Penn State board. Franklin is not going to be the football coach. Anyway on to crap that matters..

 

[rjd970]

Yay, Freeze, Fleck, Franklin...... That leaves the 4th F Fickell... I choose to believe.

Outside of Franklin I would be good with any of the “F” coaches being discussed so far.

 

[Lofton/Durant4 3]

Just kind of glossing over the operative word, there.

I am not glossing over it. It happened under his watch, and even the fact that there are rumors, players saying that he told people to cover it up is enough to not want him hear. Jesus Christ I cannot believe this conversation. Noah get the boat.

The most amazing thing about that is Iowa St has boosters.

Yep. Thinking the same thing...

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Lane Kiffin sure ain't a 7 million man. Campbell is considered a top 5 coach by pretty much everybody.

I love Campbell, but he’s not top 5.

Saban, Dabo, Riley, Day, Kelly, Mullen, Shaw all active guys I’d put ahead of him if taking into account entire careers.

Campbell is probably top 5 in the up & comer ranks though.

 

[Ashevolle]

Franklin telling that one player that pulled a knife that he should have put the knife up and got his ass beat... is sound advice.

So is telling the players not to talk to cops. Even if it were for a crappy thing, and probably self serving, don't say anything to the cops. Not bad advice. Those guys ended up being dirtbags and I'm glad they were found guilty, but sometimes innocent people get destroyed when they talk to the cops.

Sound advice by a smart man.

Fickel Freeze

 

[vol494]

Riley
Campbell
Fickell
Cristobal
Fleck

I’ve said Riley since mid December. For some reason I think he is the left field pull.

I hope it’s one of the 5.
