Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Dykes get hired yet?

Ironing out the details.

 

[rekinhavoc]

I’ll wait for our announcement of the next head coach before coming to any conclusions. But if it’s underwhelming, this University still hasn’t learned and it’s time we all take a big step back from it. I know I will. But I’ll wait to see who is at the podium.

If they paid 2 million for an AD to "Trot out a coach " like the last three all they have proven is they like to over pay.

 

[UTSuave’]

I don’t disagree... I hope I’m wrong but think booster pride and not ‘integrity’ will keep us from the guys that bring the most excitement to the players and fans...

That’s the tennessee way man for sure.

 

[drvenner]

Here is what's going to happen. DW, for whatever stupid reason locks in on Dykes. Plowman and Boyd say hell no. DW resigns. Steele is named interim for 2021 by our interim AD and we are left in here wondering WTF just happened.

 

[BruinVol]

Give me BOB now

 

[Vol4ever]

Im finally coming around. Hire Freeze damit

 

[omghulkhands]

Its why we need Kiffin. He wants to play him.

lol he already does

 

[SLICKYINC]

I’ll be glad when this is over so we can start handing out these rando GIT shirts.

 

[Ashevolle]

I'm not even worried. This hire is going to be a home run. DW's a toast to another notch in his belt as we speak.

 

[volfan1631]

Clay Travis just click baiting people. No coaches called him.

If any coaches called him it was Franklin. They are good friends i believe.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

AV said listen to Low. We did, not what we wanted to hear. AP, not what we want to hear, Feldman, not what we want to hear, Thamle, not what we want to hear, TB is stupid. All of these guys are telling us who the actual candidates are but we don’t want to believe it. It’s Elliot or Dykes and I wouldn’t be surprised if Elliot gets cold feet and it falls to Dykes

 

[Ace]

Kiffin still wants the job

Kiffin is a troll

 

[Catbone]

@Atlanta VOL and @MetalVolunteer saw today F U Money will only get you so far. We have SIGNIFICANTLY underestimated just how difficult and bad of a job Tennessee is right now. It is NOT attractive or near top tier.

Unfortunately it's nearing the time to accept we will end up with a mediocre hire. If we had our big fish, we would've known today.

All JMO

 

[drvenner]

Pal's is there still. University has built a nice on campus football facility. Summers family has bought old Model Mill and is reburbishing it. Old Second Level bldg just sold. Maybe last available bulk parcel downtown.

Watauga Brewery just opened a roof top bar.

Unfortunately theres no jobs for twenty and thirty somethings

I am way older than that. We get to JC about six times a year when it's not Covid season. I went to a football game in 2019 and really enjoyed it.

"
I’m going to give you my best read on this based on a good deal of inference. Im not getting this from my friend or his sources, but I’m connecting dots. I think we made a big offer to Franklin or Campbell last night. I think it got very close, but probably didn’t happen. That deal has been in the works for weeks. I believe it failed due to investigation.

I believe they flew to a neutral location today, met three candidates, and settled on one.

My friend has talked about Elliot and his relationships to players and coaches here since we hired DW. I think DW has a high degree of comfort with him. That said, I think boosters and and chancellor prefer an HC. That may have pushed us to choice 3.

I believe my friend that we have a deal. I believe we missed on 1. I genuinely hope it’s 2, and they bent to let him hire a coordinator. If we get to 3, I don’t like the choice I’ve heard, but they are current HC’s.
This is all conjecture."

 

[VOLED]

Yes

Dissension will not be allowed

 

[Paper_Towel]

I'll give away my likes at will, but I don't have a damn clue who the HC is going to be. The only thing I'm to trust is the introductory press conference.

 

[volamite86]

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

Was that the same reason Hubbs just so happened to be Tyson when the Gruden fiasco was going on? I believe they WERE plugged in, I also believe they’ve been shut out of this coaching search. Their info is coming from other reporters speculation, I.e. C-low and crew.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

I really don’t think money matters. We couldn’t give the job away in 2017 and we made Gundy the same offer we’re rumored to be giving out this time around.

This job is not what we think it is, and somehow we forget that every 3-4 years. And I’m not throwing stones - I’m as guilty as anyone.

We could have Freeze, Kiffin, or Chadwell tomorrow. We can still get good coaches. We just go after bad ones or unrealistic ones. It’s a booster/administration problem. Not a University problem and viewed as undesirable.

 

[KPT_VFL]

I’m just baffled you will go all in on a man who was part of a rape case but in the same breath say Freeze is untouchable. We are a fraud and were lied to.

 

[tnmarktx]

I would have similar concerns if we hire SD or TE. How would the defense be?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Its why we need Kiffin. He wants to play him.

He doesn't want to be here. He likes attention

 

[volfanhill]

Its why we need Kiffin. He wants to play him.

Nothing to suggest he wants to coach here. He was laughing at the whole idea on Twitter earlier.

 

[lilesrt]

I've been meaning to tag you and ask. I believe. However, if it's Dykes, we are all taking numbers to throw down with you at Waffle House.

No way the coach is introduced to the team and it not get leaked. Not a chance.

 

[m1al]

WTF is happening up in here?
