Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[SugarCC]

Wow. To watch, from the moment Danny White was hired, being called ONE OF THE FIVE BEST ADs IN THE LAND, and the best AD hire we've made since the first coming, and we all are happier than hell...to JUST FIVE DAYS LATER, and he's the biggest "liar", "fraud", "idiot", "tone deaf", "pushover" "whatever", "whatever", "whatever", dipsh!t since Hamilton, Hart, Currie, Fulmer, Dooley, Jones, and Pruitt (all rolled into one giant dipsh!t) walked thru the door.

Some of you truly need help, and I sads for you.

I am not following how we allegedly go from Matt Campbell to James Franklin then to Sonny Dykes? From a pure coaching and on the field perspective Campbell and Franklin are light years beyond Sonny Dykes. Pretty big gap between these candidates which makes little sense to me.

I would have to think Herman is above Dykes and he's available (may not be interested but we don't know that and are hearing very little)

So how about Herman, even Chadwell who has less experience and not power 5 but is a sitting head coach. I'd rather roll the dice on Chadwell than Dykes.

Herman, Malzahn (he can ask Steele to leave if needed), make another run at Fleck, etc before trotting out Sonny Dykes.

As others have said, I'd roll w Elliott before Dykes. Dykes has proven he is not able to put together a winning record while at a Pac 12 school.

Heck I think I'd rather give Dana Holgorson a shot vs. Sonny Dykes. Lance Leipold would make me more excited than Dykes, I do believe.

Something seems amiss here...

Coach Dykes is a hell of a football coach. Neyland’s win record would be in trouble.

Let’s see 400 or so pages behind...won’t be able to catch up and don’t have much time been quite busy since sat. Everything is still progressing as planned. Don’t let any of this smoke from anyone in the media fool you. Everyone has an agenda. And so do we. DW knows EXACTLY what he is doing. This will wrap up quickly...negotiations and papering deals of this magnitude don’t just happen quickly especially when you are talking about the state our program is in. Be patient and be positive. I have been asked to respect the privacy of this search and I will...protecting that process makes us a better program long term.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

So AV says one whale turned us down but the other hasnt.
And you guys get all happy and ****.
The 2nd whale will turn us down, too.
Prepare yourself for that.
Whale 2 wont accept and we will be RIGHT back to where we just were.
Go ahead and accept it.

 

[yourstruly23]

I took that as contract is being written which means terms have been agreed on, settling on the finer print in the contract.. we’re back

 

[mr.checkerboards]

What we have confirmed tonight. Franklin was one of the whales

 

[Vol_sanity]

So who are legitimate white whales? I’m trying to keep up and failing miserably

 

[Vol4ever]

Or until after signing day.

Interesting.

 

[MIT_Beaver]

Whale is back on the menu, boys!

6 years at over $7m, it may happen. Keep your fingers crossed because the alternatives aren’t great.

 

[lilesrt]

Dave Doeren or Sonny Dykes..

Who yall got?

[volatil]

Lmfao Matt Campbell was never an option. "Hey, I'm turning down a handful of NFL jobs....Texas....but Toxic Tennessee...about to be under penalty...SIGN ME UP"

It was more delusional than Gruden. Let's be honest with ourselves.

Agree with Herman/Chadwell, though each is a bit questionable in his own right.

Unfortunately, I think Plowman's morality clause had cut our list in half. If not more. How many spotless coaches exist?

 

[VOLSONLY]

Ok. Im back to Bob Stoops being the hire

Lol

Go back and read his post again.

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

Told y'all to keep the faith. Campbell is our coach.

 

[Smokeyshowl66]

MIT Beaver chiming in minutes after Atlanta VOL is ...something.

He’s just riding AVs coat tails trying to repair the credibility he lost in the last search

 

[Vol4ever]

What we have confirmed tonight. Franklin was one of the whales

Damn cone to Knoxville CJF.

 

[Frankwillie87]

I see the nightly down spiral is happening after the daily optimism.

We just hired an AD Thursday. Maybe we should give him at least a week maybe even, god forbid, 2 whole weeks.

People can gnash their teeth, but there's millions of dollars and years worth of investments involved here. I'd consider anyone an idiot for not doing their complete due diligence.

I don't think AV said anyone turned us down

 

[Z06VolinWV]

And with out tidbit, I’m out on trying to keep up. Back to normal life and I’ll anxiously wait until I see.

 

[lfvol]

There are two “whales” White is authorized to make a $7+ million offer to. One said no, the other is still open.

Please tell us SD is a no regardless of the whales.

And with that goodnight. Night crew keep this ship on course.

He didn't say that. MIT Beaver said that.
