Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Somebody make the case for Dykes.

 

[drvenner]

I am terrified that @Neyland Rising is going to run out of likes before he reaches us.

Edit your Friday evening posts and tell him to walk into the light.

@Freak , this is why we need DMs.

If he ever makes a post, it will get y the most likes ever.

 

[mickeyvol]

We really have to get it right this time. Next year will be the 30th anniversary of our last national championship. We really can't repeat a Dooley hire, or even worse, the great debacle of 2021. Goodness!

Check your math

LMAO y'all are entertaining....literally before Low went on radio everyone was on CLOUD 9.....he voiced his opinion and now you're ready to burn Neyland Stadium down....if I've ever seen a group that needs Xanax....it's this one. Chill out and act like you've been through a UT coaching search before.....damn amateurs.

 

[NMVol]

Am thinking ADDW is going to have to sell the intangibles at the presser.

 

[434VOL]

I think media members only know what agents are pumping out...makes sense that the lower tier candidates' agents are trying to will their clients into the job

 

[JohnnyD1024]

The problem with Dykes is that he's already been the up-and-comer who got a power 5 job, and he failed at that job. He doesn't have the potential that even coaches like Elliott or Chadwell have. His ceiling seems extremely low.

I think he would bring an exciting offense here, but I'm not sure what else. Can he recruit at this level? Can he staff at this level, especially on the defensive end? Sonny Dykes feels like a worse version of Chad Morris.

I think Dykes ceiling is being a good not great G5 coach.

 

[orangefreak21]

Legit forgot he was on the team

 

[Smokeytom]

'Former' indeed

You’re the amateur. It’s Xanax.

 

[VolInNorthCack]

So message board insiders say we have reached an agreement with a mystery candidate.

Lowe says SonnyD and Elliott are for sure candidates but there's probably at least 1 we don't know about.

If nothing comes out tomorrow we can never trust message board nugs again

That's not at all how this works!

 

[Devo182]

Brings truck for Elliott? Lol geeze

Yes. Like we should do for Fleck or any number of names. Otherwise we end up right back in Dooley, Butch, Pruitt territory.

We have to take our 2nd tier guys seriously. This place was already a dumpster fire...now we have the ncaa coming. Bottom half SEC job rn. Things are not good. We have to be proactive and go make a 2nd tier guy tell us no.

 

[hotcypress]

who?

 

[Vols4us]

It makes sense for nothing to be coming out of UTAD given DW's MO.

What doesn't make sense is how no agents/other staffs/candidate camps are leaking. We saw noise from elliott's camp... something happened there. I believe Parker reached out to gauge interest with his agent.

this is just wild. you can control our side of the equation if you're DW but you can't control everybody elses.

Maybe because he had his guy before he walked in the door. Thus, no leaks - only misdirection and speculation.

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

You can sell Chadwell to the fans and to recruits based on what he did in 2020. You can't sell Dykes at all. That guy would literally lose money for the program...in addition to a lot of games. Chadwell should be the floor. Maybe it really is Franklin and Dykes was leaked to make those of us that are against Franklin to suddenly feel relieved if it's him.

 

[columbia vol]

He’s told everyone he’s waiting on Big 10 position

Do you have to jump in about every 10 post with some negative bs that you are pulling out of your a$$? Jeez have a coke and a smile

Good point. This is what I'm choosing to believe! lol

 

[volbeast33]

Someone woke up JJ and let him know Pruitt had left

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

The MOU with Stoops may be in place. Got to get the sign off on the staff for final acceptance? Hardly a peep from the other side. No idea how the lid has been kept on.

lighting up tonight?

 

[Weezer]

Getting ready to enjoy some of this in Neyland next season.

The one we had in Knoxville closed down.


But I loved their all you can eat specials.


Still, it's a hell no to Sonny Dykes.

Just realized his name totally sounds like a porno.

Dang, this search had lasted longer than I realized...

Have a deviated septum from a run in with that in college. Can’t do it anymore.

 

[JayHud]

Glad to see Steele doing his job and keeping everyone from transferring

 

[TENN MAN 13]

It’s not Dykes
