Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[volswillrise12]

Any dank nugs out there on the search ya’ll? Or are we still wigging out preemptively and contemplating life choices in regard to Tennessee football coaching searches?

Ok. There are two Czech towns on the way.

Fleck does seem like a system guy.
Regimented, detail oriented, intelligent
Could translate well, seems similar to Saban in that respect. Obviously he’s not Saban, but perhaps the military like approach could work here? Don’t love his personality or the catch phrases but I don’t think it’d be a bad hire.

Just don't think a bratwurst in a flour tortilla is a hot dog.

If you do not own stock in Twitter, now may be the time to load your portfolio.

was gonna go with a Bowie quote here but...

 

[Lofton/Durant4 3]

Don't worry...I will piss you off at some point..lol.

O I'm sure, but you gotta reap the popularity while your trending, or so I hear.

I know you guys like plane tracking so I found a Pilot Corp plane landing in Atlanta at the same as the UT plane. Pilot Corp tail number is N1213P.
Edit: N865UT and N1213P following the exact same flight path.
ADS-B Exchange - tracking thousands of aircraft

Yeah but Arizona has been a tough gig for years. He had a good run in SEC. if people are saying Gus is on the list then hell Sumlin surely should be. He would recruit circles around half the names I have seen mentioned here.

You have got to be trolling. Got. to. be.

Yes, they're going to structure a deal to make the new guy feel comfortable. There's a reason Plowman and Boyd keep stressing patience-- they want stability and are subtexting that it's going to take time and we're going to ride this out with the new hire.

If that’s the approach — and I support it — you have to do everything possible to hire somebody that you have confidence you will still want around in 5 years.

Matt Campbell fits that bill (and there are others). Some of these other names don’t. The ones that do are expensive. Hope we pay up.

 

[Helton1]

Y’all are welcome. He’s our guy.

Wow.

 

[Vols_Life]

If going to Atlanta, maybe Saturday's come apart was focused on the wrong Elliott

It will heal soon. There’s worse places to put a staple. How’s that for positive.

I accidentally shot myself in the inner thigh with a pin nailer. I was installing rope molding on cabinets from a 6ft ladder and holding it in between my legs while fitting pieces together. I walked into the living room and dropped my pants to get the nail out... lady homeowner walks in the front door right in front of me.

Yeah, there are worse places.

For folks freaking out this is my opinion that should calm people down. Jamey Chadwell will take the job. If you can live with that, that’s the floor in this search.

Decent hire. If that's the best we can get then I am satisfied. Hope we shoot for the stars though.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

I don't think Fleck would work out here, but comparisons to Butch stretch only to being corny. He took TWO separate programs to new heights; Butch just took what Brian Kelly built and kept it decent.

 

[BruinVol]

I think Fleck might end up being a damn stud recruiter here. This is an example of what’s he’s done in Minn in our backyard

You are getting into pig-in-a-blanket territory.

Impressive can't deny that.

Got it, I used to live in a town that is home to the "World's Largest Pecan"...

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Ahhhh the old google result= Real life truth argument. That’s a new one.

**** off...I followed it in real time seven years ago, I didn'tneed to google it to know what happened...so ignore me or get ready to see it over and over and over to every dang time you smart off at me...



If you all want me to shut up about that dusgusting pile of dog excrement...then quit bringing him up.

 

[Catbone]

Dude can speak and Motivate circles around Pruitt.

Pruitt can barely speak aight

 

[delfonic]

I feel like we have better words to more clearly communicate what a hamburger is and that calling it a sandwich just leads to inefficient taxonomical vaguery. I feel the same way about hot dogs, though I must admit the bun being joined together does potentially create a situation where a hot dog could be judged to be a non-sandwich.

Also, I can't wait to see Will Healy run through the T. I hope he keeps his shirt on.

I think this underestimates a lot of things, mainly the few hundred thousand fans itching desire to get back into neyland at full capacity after a covid season, regardless of who is on the sidelines. Beyond that, White’s job is to hire someone to win football games, not popularity contests. He could trot out the ghost of Derek Dooley and so long as he wins 8 games next year— which he absolutely should based on the schedule— neyland will be rocking again.

That 19-30 record at Cal would be a tough sell. He had a p5 job and was very bad in it. A couple of other things that was make it disappointing is one of his Cal teams gave up the most passing yards EVER in a game and he was 1-11 vs Cal's rivals, which is very Pruitt like.

 

[UTMVol76]

PJ Fleck would be a hell of a hire.
