Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Mario isn't worth 7+. Imo

What about Luigi? Hahaha

 

[eVOLve]

Dykes is worth 8-9 mill.

 

[Vols4us]

Some of you are pretty cavalier about OPM. $1 M is a lot of money even for wealthy people and UT. If it is Matt Campbell, to wait less than a week to save it seems wise to me with the reduced income stream of the athletic department with this COVID period. Nothing of great importance will change if they wait until next Monday to sign the deal. If it isn't Campbell, then they will go ahead and get it done as soon as they can.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Correct

They change their tune on that one

I think Hubbs actually said the flight to college station was no big deal.

 

[OrangeGoggles]

Dykes is worth 8-9 mill.

Maybe if we're considering a 16 to 18 year contract. The SEC would eat Sunny D alive.

Get behind this program...everyone. Stop bickering. Stop second guessing.
We have a bad ass AD...I mean one of the most impressive guys I have EVER been around. He is getting this right I promise you that.

And another thing...this stuff about whales and authority to offer this and that to two whales is BS. DW has been given a damn centurion card to hire whoever he wishes at whatever cost he sees fit....i have said it 100 times but some folks just can’t understand. Money is not and will not be an issue moving forward with this program.

Holy ****.

Yeah I’m good now

 

[Headvol]

Well AV tells me tonight that Franklin is still going to be hire

that’s what i gather

I’m not even sure he was or is a real candidate

 

[Volfanatic_20]

How close to deal with Franklin?

Pretty close I’m told. Have had further talks tonight....cementing facility upgrades is a result of this deal but the trepidation to not take it came from the uncertainty over the NCAA stuff. Went through some at PSU and likely didn’t want it again in Knoxville.

Tell him Volquest is worth $9.95 but people still pay it.

I feel it in my jimmies.

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... I just have to believe Dykes is a misdirection and/or down the list/courtesy interview (should it occur)

THIS!!!

 

[UTK]

Top Teir: Campbell, Fickell, Franklin

Fallbacks: Elliot, Herman, Malzhan

That's how I see it.


Kiffin should honestly be the main fallback if the top 3 say no, but I guess we still holding a stupid grudge.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

I'm starting to feel like @Catbone

Drink some Bourbon.

Coach Dykes is a hell of a football coach and a beautiful man. He is easily worth 10 mill/yr.

 

[Dustin4Vols]

Yes, because I have an amazing crystal ball that says one big target turned us down and minutes later the 247 article comes out.

I wouldn’t say fleck is a big target. I guess the Tennessee of today any coach is a big target for us anymore

 

[NMVol]

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

His appointment was for Sunday.

 

[Paper_Towel]

My favorite part about that quote/scene is that it implies orcs are familiar with the concept of restaurants

 

[BigSteve09]

I think the other whale is John Madden

All right....I’ll be the ignorant bastard to ask.

What’s a centurion card?

 

[drvenner]

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.

What if Whale 2 is Kiffin?
