Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Jimmy Football]

If DW gets desperate, he’ll hire Leipold, who won’t excite anyone but is an excellent coach.

 

[turdherder11]

Would rather keep Steele, Chaney and the rest of the current staff. Fill a few vacant positions and get through 2021. The sanctions must be a lot worse than what people expect. Phill Pruitt really dug us in a hole.
Hire fisher, dykes we will be talking buyout in 3 years.
There's been zero talk about Chadwell being offered, i would rather have him than most that have been talked about.

 

[Devo182]

Please don’t let Elliott say no

Gotta make him an offer he can't refuse. Bring with him as many clemson coaches, assistants, analysts as he can drag here.

 

[NMVol]

That doesn’t add up. “I was thinking of leaving, but ya know, maybe I should stay to see those locker room upgrades through.” Said no one actually ever.

It was a dig, and the predictable attitude that made him a bad fit in the first place.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Yay!! We have an AD that doesn't suck up to washed up media wannabes.
PLEASE--quit freaking out every time one of these yahoos throws something out there.
How many times have they been even close to correct the last few months?

 

[Souce]

 

[rekinhavoc]

I mean how do you not land Chadwell at minimum?...

Honestly. If you cannot land a whale roll the freaking dice and get the next Urban Myer. Maybe that's Chadwell maybe not. It isn't a coordinator or Sonny Dykes.


DW was hired and paid handsomely to get this right.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I have no clue why they wouldn't go after them.

DW is not stupid. He isn't going to just skip over Jamey Chadwell and be like "Welp, didn't get Franklin time to hire Sonny Dykes."

We're being fed BS to distract us and people are eating it hook, line, and sinker.

 

[jordan4vols]

Rather give Chadwell a chance than Dykes or Elliott

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

What is this magic lesson the university needs to have learned?

How to chose a coach. How many other programs find lightning in a bottle? We always chose the wrong hire.

 

[JT3]

No way Franklin was the whale. I refuse to believe that ...

 

[mickeyvol]

Wow! Just 48 hours ago Plowman was the queen, a gilf, and rockstar.
Gotta love a coaching search.

"
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."

Lol

and yea we are so much better off then we were before

Good grief

 

[ikevol]

Not enough head room.

Please tell us this Dykes crap is not true!!!

 

[OrangeDrip]

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.

This is how far we’ve fallen, coaches don’t use us for raises anymore instead they just try to upgrade their facilities.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Chadwell, Elliott, a steaming pile of ****,










Sonny Dykes.

 

[volbeast33]

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

AP has put all kinds of BS out there

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

It's Matt Campbell until Matt Campbell comes out and says it's not Matt Campbell.

 

[Smokeyshowl66]

WTF is happening up in here?

My opinion - there are some folks in her deliberately spinning things in circles. Not sure I trust anything that's being reported at this point.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

@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

I mean, this is the reality and if we're all honest with ourselves, we kind of knew it. This just isn't the job it was in 2008. It's fallen far and hard. I don't doubt that DW really tried to land us a great coach, but we simply aren't a good program right now.

 

[RiotVol]

What day did DW get hired? It's all a blur.

 

[KPT_VFL]

I mean my god at least Elliott is young and respected get Sonny Dykes out of here!

 

[TNDCVol]

-AP

I want to believe in this DW and team but if James F***ing Franklin was the top choice I have no faith in what we are about to get. Don’t get up and tell us about doing things the right way and hire someone connected to a rape case. But not talk to Freeze or Art B!?!?!?

 

[Devo182]

If Elliott says no, it's time to Men In Black flashbang everyone's memories and go after Freeze and Kiffin.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

lol he already does

Obviously missed my point. We want the type of coach that doesn't shy away from playing the best. Kiffin doesn't which is why I wished we stop all this nonsense and hire him.
