Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[mrmax86]

I was hearing Elliott last night, but not 100%.
Fan negativity is a real deterrent to hiring a sitting coach.

AP^

It's crazy when you HONESTLY think about it.
We talk about a "pattern" but the only real pattern is not landing the proven absolute winner and that covers 90+% of programs.

We've tried endless other things that's worked for all sorts of others.

The young electrifying NFL coach
The safe offensive minded coordinator
The smaller program winning recruiter
The defense minded, knows fb and the south winning program guy

Not only did things "not work out" like they did for other programs, we straight up hit scum sucking bottom each time.
I mean, come on, give TN fans a freaking much deserved break for a change.

I get it but I also think we gotta learn some patience & realize we’re not close to where we use to be & of all the teams in the East we always have the hardest schedule due to the big 3 as well as the other rotated schedule teams in the west

Laughing at the idea that DW put out Sonny Dykes's name to soften the blow for other candidates when their names come up.

Poor Sonny Dykes. Dude is so terrible that floating his name out for 24-48 hours is enough to make every other candidate seem palatable.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Yes ONLY AV thinks Danny White is an elite AD...

Didn't say that. I'm just saying, because everyone thinks he is a good AD doesn't mean he is gonna come here and make a brilliant hire. If all the good coaches turn him down, what can he do? Hire a guy like dykes or elliott. Or kiffin/freeze/chadwell. And if he hires a dude like dykes or elliott then he clearly isn't as good as everyone thinks.

 

[MarcoVol]

Don't know how old this is but it really makes Freeze seem like somewhat of a possibility

Zero chance

 

[Vols_Life]

Talk **** to me all you want.
Doesn't change the truth of my statement.

I agree! From your perspective, if it is not what YOU think it should be, then it is wrong... gotcha

Good luck with that in life, hoss!

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Wait did people really think Plowman’s twitter handle was “@VolsPrez?”

 

[Skizer41]

I think the dykes talk was just people connecting dots to DWs sister who is an AD at SMU. I don’t think he is or was a candidate.

Or DW needed a cover story for a Texas link. Like Hermann

 

[Weezer]

SIAP: Kress also mentioned on his show this morning that someone told him today is a BIG day for Chadwell. He wasn't sure if that meant final interview or offer. Just that today was important.

I'm willing to give Chadwell a shot, but if he's the hire, it means we whiffed on several targets. Even with sanctions looming, not a good look for DW when he reportedly has an open checkbook.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Where’s his info coming from?

Ryan Callahan, 247

 

[Dudleys87]

Being that fresh may mean something. Feldman is highly regarded and for him to put Freeze in the convo at this point in the game is interesting.

Haven’t seen anyone shoot his name down yet.

Unless I missed it somewhere from yesterday

Maybe we can use the money we save by hiring Chadwell to bribe the NCAA.

 

[mrmax86]

My insider source says we've ruled out every coach in the country but Matt Campbell. We good.

Why is Daniel Hardman your AVI? He's probably in my top 5 TV Villians, next to Red John, Benjamin Linus, Nina Myers.

 

[engineerVOL]

One major problem with Tennessee is that it has a fan base that thinks it can make better decisions than the people in charge... and they probably aren't wrong.

Hey, I resemble that!

 

[matts42012]

I think everyone needs to sit back, take 10 deep breaths, and relax.

DW is going covert. Done believe everything you hear. We know they offered 8Mil. So if they are playing that game, just sit back and enjoy the ride.

[RockyTop411]

Hire Herman before you even get to Elliott, Dykes, Chadwell, etc.

 

[Newman]

Hope Trey does well and goes in the 2nd Rd.

 

[NoogaVol96]

VQ point blank said theres a connection to Sonny

VQ knows nothing besides what is posted on this board lmao

Franklin?

Jessica Pearson FTW.

 

[RikidyBones]

Can we agree to leave the Callahan, AP and Hubbs updates off the board? They are not only worthless but the ignorance of them raises the temp in here.

 

[AnchorDown27]

Anyone else straight up not having a good time?

 

[Adam2014]

Hope Trey does well and goes in the 2nd Rd.

The hell are those units of measurement?

 

[DustyRockSolid]

I'll never understand people who say "UT doesn't care about winning" after offering coaches $8M to come.

If they didn't care about winning, they could easily hire a "respectable" candidate with $4M. You could have announced Dave Clawson last week, who would run a clean program and finish like 7-5, 8-4 yearly (and never win the SEC). But they are aiming higher than that, even if it costs more money.

They are swinging for the fences, and might strike out. But that wouldn't mean they "don't care about winning".

If they hire elliott or dykes type coaches instead of kiffin/freeze/chadwell.... Then it's blatantly obvious they don't really care about winning. That's all I've said and it's the truth.

 

[Jackcrevol]

We offered Franklin top 3 money in all of CFB & he still said no

he makes 7. wed have to go 9 iyam to get him. Why not?
