All I have to say to AP is...

“Dance for me clown”

“Here’s another $10” - @jakez4ut

Best quote ever

 

[gardners_51609]

To me there is only two options at this point:

1. We have our coach and there is reason we are waiting to disclose who that is due to preference by one/both sides

2. We have not offered anyone and therefore there is literally nothing to report.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

He was over the moon that Pruitt and Fulmer were gone and TN was willing to pay money for a good coach. Had nothing to do with a specific coach

Makes perfect sense now.

That AP update is hilarious. No way it’s actual real information. I mean...

- We know White met in Atlanta with some folks but don’t know who. But names that “pop up” are Sonny Dykes and Elliott. Lol what.

- There were in deep talks with James Franklin but he’s staying at PSU because of locker room upgrades. what?!

- Oh and White better not take Steele for granted because that will hurt his feelings and he’ll go elsewhere.

Is this real life? That has to be 100% made up nonsense. Not a chance AP knows anything relevant to this coaching search.

Turned down over locker room renovations that were announced in 2019.

Just saw this and laughed. This reeks of desperation...on VQ’s part. They truly sound like they are way out of the loop.

I‘m expecting a follow-up demand that Steele be interviewed or else.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Not making a run at freeze if all this missing is true... they don’t want to win. If we are actually
Offering legit money and being told no, then you lower the moral standards bar and get a rehabilitated freeze and spin that. The entire college football community is going to know we are dead if they trot out another coordinator. We are the only
Ones too stupid to realize it.

 

[Volsfan895]

How are we deciding on Elliot or Dykes when we have the freaking AP coach of the year that would take it before we went to bed?

 

[ndubvols]

I’m thinking we get some actual leaks tomorrow evening and press conference Wednesday.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I leave with a nugg from @vol81 saying promising things and come back to Kevin Steele talk.?!?!

This is unacceptable. I would like to speak to a manager please.

Sir, this is Wendy's.

 

[nate from decatur]

We've been bad for a long time. Why not give one of the young guys a try? We can't get any worse.

 

[Bigorange123]

WTF is happening up in here?

waiting on Danny

 

[hotcypress]

Here's a nice highlight of Dykes first year at Cal - In Dykes' first season, the California defense surrendered the most passing yards in Division 1 college football history, leading to it becoming the worst defense in the nation.[

"
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."

First, I'm skeptical on all of this. But I will say this - this isn't the way it works. DW does not appear to be the kind of guy that takes a job and then gets pushed around and told not to hire the guy he wants, particularly given his track record. If this is how it played out, if I'm DW, I'm on a plane back to Orlando to take my old job back and forget the whole thing. (and yes UCF would take him back no questions asked). Further, DW never takes the UT AD job without it being understood upfront that he's calling the shot on who gets selected - yes, Boosters and Plowman have say in the contract and that can affect the outcome. But this silliness about them being a HC or not, would not be something DW would cave to. This is all nonsense.

Campbell

Haha you crack me up..... Do you set a timer as a reminder to post this every 45 minutes I hope you're right btw

 

[BearCat204]

If it’s truly between Elliott and Dykes. You just overpay and roll the dice with Elliott.

Elliott will be a tremendous head coach somewhere soon.......I hope its here.

 

[KB5252]

Why can’t we just have a coaching search like a school that wants to win?... example? TEXAS

Texas has multiple advantages that we simply do not. They also are not about to face sanctions from the NCAA.

 

[gardners_51609]

I think we can all agree we will ha a press conference no later than Thursday.

 

[VOLED]

James Franklin turning down UT because of locker renovations is the most far fetched thing I’ve ever heard. Complete nonsense and made up

Lots and lots of disinformation being tossed around. Could the Russkies be involved with this?

 

[De La Cloobs]

If we go by our insiders and what they have said, that means Dykes would have been one of our top 2 choices and we would have been in talks with him for weeks.

Do we believe that? And where did all the Dykes talk start at?

 

[ACvol3]

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.

Wouldn’t that be so UT

 

[snowvols]

Here's a nice highlight of Dykes first year at Cal - In Dykes' first season, the California defense surrendered the most passing yards in Division 1 college football history, leading to it becoming the worst defense in the nation.[

They gave up like 750 yards in one game, an NCAA record.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Elliott will be a tremendous head coach somewhere soon.......I hope its here.

I think so too. He’s bright young offensive mind who players will love playing for.

 

[berryvol]

Not groundbreaking info, but just got a text from a current player who said the team is still in the dark and doesn’t know who it’ll be. Sounds like we don’t have a hire made yet if they still know nothing.

 

[Memphisvol87]

We may be in some big trouble if Elliott turns us down.

They better roll with Steele before hiring another coordinator. One year deal and re group next year. One season and recruiting class is not worth our permanent demise. This is the last chance to get off the laughing stock of college football Groundhog Day.
