Becoming a dad next week. Just picked up my pair from Kohl’s.

I became a dad New Year’s Day... sleep as much as you possibly can until the baby comes. I’m getting ready for work and think I only got an hour and a half max of sleep.

Congratulations on your new baby and best wishes to the guys that got new shoes.

Incorrect. It's easy being a coordinator with a generational QB playing alongside superior talent in an inferior conference. Half of us could call plays and still win games at Clemson right now.

I seem to recall the same situation with a certain DC.

Stoerner:

"I don’t have anything useful this morning, and I’m hesitant to speculate given how pitched things seem to be around here. My friend said that signing a coach prior to late signing day/Spring practice will cause problems for the school that gets left. Trying to take staff etc is a particularly delicate thing given that it is still a reputation business. It sounds like they’re trying to get those details sorted. He still thinks the team will hear today, but he has no information on time etc. It remains almost impossible to get any details right now. I apologize if I created inaccurate expectation on timing. I assume they’ll be a team meeting today followed by a presser, but frankly I can’t get anything solid right now."

I pray this is the case...I have to get some work done eventually this week.

Sounds like to me they have their coach. But there will be stipulations.

I don't think that signing day is as big this year as other years. For one, Early Signing Day has already wrapped up 90% of recruits. The other angle is that the transfer market is going to be INSANE this year. I think that the transfer market is much bigger, and lucky for us much longer, than anything having to do with Signing Day.

After 12 years and four coaching-search cycles later, UT has finally found a way to make planes untraceable. Coming soon to a runway near you.

Good luck tracking that!

I assume it's been mentioned and that I'm not breaking any news here but I'm just reading where Charleston Southern committed multiple NCAA violations when he was coach there. Had to vacate 18 wins and the Big South championship. Could that keep him from getting the job since we're acting like Kiffin and Freeze wouldn't get a look for that very reason?

debunked already. those violations were across multiple sports and were the result of compliance department issues....not the coach.

not trying to go all defense here for JC...but if he's not considered/hired, it won't have anything to do with this.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

What airport? Just making sure it isn’t one of the smaller regional ones we have.

Not sure, can't track it now

I think the key to Campbell isn't just his salary. I think you throw in a hefty signing bonus but even more than that I think you double the pool of money available for his staff. According to data from USA Today, his current staff is paid a collective amount around $4.6m. Ours was a bit over $6m. Make that $9m so it's not just about Matt; It's also about the men who work for him. I could be wrong but I don't think ISU can compete in a bidding war with us if we went that direction but I also think the difference has to be more than just a bit higher. Again, I could be wrong, but I think Matt is the Jon Gruden of this search and at some point if we don't catch lightning in a bottle we may have to make someone the highest paid coach in all of college football if we want to get out of our rut. Hopefully that would be someone that almost everyone thinks can do the job and not someone we all have to hope can survive. We need a guy who is universally perceived as the absolute best hire of the season and we shouldn't be embarrassed by what we have to spend, if we do in fact have FU money to spend. jmo.

I don’t love the idea of paying him that level money. But you right I think that you have no chance of getting him otherwise. Look at what A&M committed to Jimbo. That’s the neighborhood we’d have to be in...

 

[BigSteve09]

Haven't we been told multiple times that flight tracking is a waste of time? But then again, didn't our fans track those meetings in Atlanta through flights?

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Someone on here has to know a current player. We just need to know when the team meeting is scheduled. That's all that matters at this point.

Congratulations on your new baby and best wishes to the guys that got new shoes.

Thank you sir!

 

[MrVolton]

Jeff Fisher is publicly begging for the job. Get him the best college OC and DC money can buy, and let’s ride.

 

[KPT_VFL]

I don’t think this SF guy knows anything.

- Callahan

Hmmm This is word for word what @Stoerner Fumbles posted this morning. I wonder where Callahan received his info?

 

[UTK]

The three C's! Who's it gonna be?

Campbell
Cristobal
Chadwell


The suspense builds

 

[jakez4ut]

This all day. Reasonable fans, or even unreasonable fans should expect this and hope for much better.

i think you mis read my post then...lol....or you're just seeing what you want to see....lol.....

 

[WarMachine]

I hate this roller coaster. Why do I keep getting back in line?

Got it. Didn't see it addressed previously. Trying to keep us as best possible. lol

Overlaying the stealth technology no doubt an afterthought.

 

[jakez4ut]

I would argue this is just about the perfect time to hire someone like Chadwell. He's going to have a built-in excuse the first couple of years if things don't get going right away.

"Well all the good players transferred." "Pruitt wasn't developing any of these guys." "There are scholarship reductions, he can't compete right now." "COVID really stunted spring practice." "We've got a two year post-season ban how could he get his guys to play hard when there's nothing to play for?"

The list goes on and on and on.

agreed.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

I don’t think this SF guy knows anything.

He has been right for the last 3/4 weeks.

 

[bpvol]

If I remember correctly, during the Auburn search, there were lots of names mentioned. They ended up fine. Isn’t this the same search group?

 

[Catbone]

A 15-year dumpster fire of a program + (potential) severe NCAA sanctions makes this job a tough sell, even when offering $8 mil/year.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Watching the Chadwell pivot is an amazing thing in real time. Lol

Let the record show that I've long supported Chadwell
