Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[CoachClick]

This is a 5 am post, so in a few years I can look back at history, and realize how much this coaching search fired me up.

Its almost time for 1st shift to clock in. Its Campbell or bust

 

[Volsfaninva917]

I have a feeling it's going to be Franklin, from a football standpoint he's a hell of a coach. He is an *******, there's no doubt about that. With the Vandy stuff, he was actually cleared by the DA and the state of Tennessee. He had his day in court. Stay off twitter and don't be running down to campus with a bullhorn acting like morons. I promise you if there is another Schiano Sunday this place will NEVER recover.

 

[UTProf]

I dont know how to feel about him.

We aren’t using UT planes. We are using Pilot Corp.

 

[BldnOrngNAtl]

Clocking in. We back to Campbell, I see. Any evidence presented overnight?

No but...

Still don’t have specifics, but the general feeling I got tonight was that our offer to our #1 candidate was accepted.

Should be a fun morning ahead.

 

[Kid Deezy]

It's Bob Stoops till it ain't. I don't care what any of you say I'm waiting for John Currie to make that announcement on the podium.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I think it’s kind of safe to assume it’s gonna be an offensive guy. So that eliminates guys like Fickell and Stoops.

Night shift failed us last night with all of the negativity. Here's hoping to tomorrow is today.

Perfect!

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Was he criminally prosecuted? We have a justice system you know? Innocent until proven guilty.

He lied about it. The stench of it is enough to never want him anywhere near our kids and our "Beacon of Integrity"

The proven FACT that his program was so filled with rot that something like this happened..is enough for me to want him no where near my Vols

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I never paid much attention to the case, so I can't speak anything to it. But, if Franklin is truly clean of something like that, he would be high on my list. Back to back 9 win seasons at Vandy is all that man should have to say. He is the only coach in the last 50 years to have a winning record there. That's mindblowing.

He is a good football coach...if it wasn't for how I feel about the whole rape incident I would gladly accept the guy.

 

[rekinhavoc]

Get er done DW!

 

[volbeast33]

Alot of people in that area thought Campbell was gone at the end of this year...
He’s more focused on rebuilding, doing things the right way, and changing cultures.
Iowa State is there.
Dude is legit...
I honestly believe he would coach circles around 90% of the other coaches in this league.
Money isn’t important to him, but this situation has to be right and he’ll definitely want to bring all his coaches over.
We are currently the poster child for the text book rock bottom rebuild..
If White somehow pulls this off he’ll be a Legend.
The Pittsburgh, & Iowa State thing also makes it cool as hell if it does happen.

If he says, “no”... You keep dropping more money till he says, “yes.”
The people saying he can’t coach on this board are certified idiots.

I liked that the defense was struggling and he put in a new defense in the middle of the season.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Let’s ask this of the names mentioned who would make the majority happy?

Campbell I think..

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Do you still practice witch trials?

That wasn't a witch hunt and you know it...I know why you defend the guy, and it is typical of people like you...disgusting.

 

[m1al]

Campbell I think..

I agree. A Campbell hire would be like the White hire. With the exception of a couple of contrarions, the whole fanbase would be happy...

 

[BigALWiLson]

Believe....

 

[m1al]

That wasn't a witch hunt and you know it...I know why you defend the guy, and it is typical of people like you...disgusting.

Come on McGill, some actually defend him because he was and will never be charged for any wrong doing connected to that case. That and they believe in innocent until proven guilty and choose not to judge on the basis of hearsay..

That said, I never have liked the guy, mainly because he's a cocky prick.

 

[Dudleys87]

If it’s Franklin guarantee I’ll walk away and not lose any sleep.

 

[Catbone]

Win at all cost.

I agree I am not a Franklin fan but he is a great football coach and was cleared. If a big scene is made we will never be able to hire a good football coach and it would be a total embarrassment to the university of Tennessee.

Don't think he will be. IMO, Franklin is a smokescreen and we've rung our hands over this all night, for nothing...

 

[VFLPastor]

Good Morning, Vols! Happy Monday/New Coach Day!
In early to see what night shift dug up while we were sleeping.
Whatcha got?

I just hope it’s someone that makes the team exciting again.
