Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[UTSuave’]

Chasing known scumbag and noted Vol troll James Franklin for the weekend instead of just hiring one of a handful of guys who would no doubt take the job....

He’s a rookie obviously.

 

[Ace]

Why do they love Kevin Steele so much, and who are they to decide what he should do? Jeez man. These dudes are pitiful.

AP carrying Fulmer’s water now. Why would DW protect Steele and try to retain him? He is looking for a HC

 

[DWright39]

At this point I hope they do. If all this was done and we land on Sonny Dykes it wasn't worth it at all.

Agreed. And starting to hope players transfer out like a bat out of hell. Maybe if they really feel it this time they will get the picture.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Literally the only thing AP confirmed in that statement was that Steele hasn't been interviewed. Everything else was he BELIEVES JF was talked to. And the only 2 names they keep seeing brought up are Elliott and dykes. Meaning they have zero confirmed names and are Steele just guessing.

I’m sorry but VQ doesn’t put something out there like that without having reason to do so.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

He probably won’t comment on here for awhile just like when he goes MIA after we miss on a recruit he says we landed. I like AV but he should’ve known better. Especially considering what this fan base has been through to jump the gun and throw out that much optimism. He’s really disappointed this time... I really hope I eat crow.

It really is odd he hasn't been in here in a while. But you are right. Its like he already knows.

 

[BearCat204]

Lol people losing their **** over what AP is flapping is fat gums about. dude was all over the Pruitt firing............

 

[UTSuave’]

Hell add Herman Chadwell to that list

For f*** sake.

 

[Bigorange123]

So James Franklin used Tennessee to get locker room upgrades at Penn State?????

lawd

 

[05_never_again]

What’s the latest nugg...we’re ending up with Steele Dykes?

 

[Devo182]

Here are the possibilities, and it’s anyone’s guess

1. In spite of having all the monies, coaches are afraid of sanctions and we are going to have to settle and pray for a miracle or wait for the next hire.

2. Our target is middle of the road, and the blue is being softened with bottom tier names leaked.

3. All of this is noise to setup a big coach reveal.

4. Nothing is settled and it’s all just speculation

Mixture of 1 and 2 imo.

 

[PolkVol]

Bro!..Give him a call f***.LETS RIDE


Jeff Fisher would be 'ready to talk' about Tennessee vacancy

Read that he said he has talked to TN... but if he’s talkin... probably not the guy

 

[beachmaster]

A suspension from Volnation?

Yes

 

[SPEDVoL14]

I can support Elliott. He’s well-established and respected. Hard for me to see Dykes working

 

[amazingGRACE]

Everybody trashing AP, if he said ‘hearing talks with Campbell are going well, expect a deal soon’ you all would cheer the guy.

 

[Kingston Vol]

I’m not going to believe it. Don’t let DW start off on a bad note already.

The truth always comes out and Occam’s razor applies - this is not a highly coveted job but we wanted hope over substance. Franklin ate our lunch and used us to get better facility commitments from Penn State.

 

[RiotVol]

I am beyond impressed how few leaks there have been.

 

[FiremedicVOL127]

So James Franklin used Tennessee to get locker room upgrades at Penn State?????

So much could be said rite now.......

 

[Tnfan41]

If we went after James Franklin, then there’s no freaking reason why we can’t give Hugh Freeze a call.

He loves Tennessee, the atmosphere of Neyland Stadium, he took his wife there on their honey moon for peaks sake.

Just hire him and be done with it.

Do not settle for Dykes or Elliot.

The NCAA can go f*** off about Freeze.

Yes! so tired of losing. Wearing a Tennessee shirt out a while back and Florida fans saying Tennessee sucks and what can you say with the way the Tennessee administration operates. I hope they prove us wrong but I don’t think they care about winning at all.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

I’m sorry but VQ doesn’t put something out there like that without having reason to do so.

Yeah I think we need to go on and prepare ourselves for what was a decent to good possibility all along and that's either promoting Steele or making some other underwhelming hire.

 

[beachmaster]

It's usually not what you say but how you say it

Could be. all I said was RIP UT football.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

I would give a significant amount of money to Tom Herman before I'd consider trotting out Dykes or Elliott.

Mark me down as also very curious about Jeff Fisher if it's between him and Dykes/Elliott.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

In fairness those locker rooms have seen some sh!t...

 

[VolGee4]

I’m sorry but VQ doesn’t put something out there like that without having reason to do so.

The thing that I don’t get is that two Clemson insiders said a day ago that Elliott has never talked to UT. One was Anna Hickey, who has a great reputation.

 

[Bigorange123]

Where the hell is MIT Beaver when you need him most

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

Everybody trashing AP, if he said ‘hearing talks with Campbell are going well, expect a deal soon’ you all would blow the guy.

Bunch of sheep in here.
