Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Volsfaninva917]

Basilio's source is John Brice, just an FYI

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I know the AV post overshadowed any talk of what SF posted last night but I’m surprised it hasn’t gotten more talk.

he said those involved in the search were trumping DWs second choice of a Coordinator in favor of a HC. If that’s the case DW wasn’t hired to do a job at all. He’s just a puppet for the Haslams

And AV said that isn't true

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

Justin Syder as well

Haywood D’Jblomi also

 

[UTK]

We're going to be overpaying, no matter what. And the deal is going to be so loaded with sweeteners, finance and legal will choke while reviewing it.

Just like UT did for the AD. Ditto for any high-level assistants we attempt to hire. We're going to pay and pay and pay for years.

If it results in big wins down the road, there is no over paying

I'm told the talks with franklin are not dead yet

Were you told by your PS4 buddy?

 

[Chuckie]

I heard Mike Hunt tured us down. Too much baggage

They’ve now shifted their focus to Jack Doff.

I don’t agree with this. You can get away with this at a middling MacAttack school where no one cares. We have a roster that can win some games and continue the climb out of this pit. Recruits need to see improvement. We’re still a very attractive school for football players.

Kevin Steele will kill this program. We couldn’t attract a better candidate three years from now IMO. No way we can recruit with a coach whose been given three years to live.

We didn’t need Danny White to usher in a new era of football. Plowman could have done that and not even hired an AD.

Danny White would immediately resign if he had to trot out Steele. Lol you wouldn’t even need a press conference! Haha, that’s how sad the prospects of a Kevin Steele hire is.

If campbell, Fleck, Franklin, Fickell, Eliott, Napier, freeze, and Kiffin aren't options, Steele and Dykes are not even close to being out of the realm of possibility.

I’m just not worried about the hire, I have the utmost faith in DW.

I do to. The problem is, as good as he is, he can't make people take the job. From the talking heads, it sounds like coaches are legitimately turned off by this job, be it the previous horrible leadership, the willingness of current leadership to investigate themselves in order to get out of paying a buyout, be it the reputation of the fanbase, or the fear of the impending investigations.

On top of this, money doesn't always talk. Coaches everywhere are making money. Sonny freaking Dykes is making 3.5 mil at SMU? What? We'd have to pay him 5 at least to get him to consider leaving and he's not worth the 3.5 he's making there. Everyone is making money now.

 

[drvenner]

I hope that hurts them somehow. Georgia, I mean.

 

[eVOLve]

Basilio is gonna bring us down boys.

 

[Hawaiian Hammer]

Check these out guys. Sent from a friend.

 

[UTK]

Good sign from Knox news to be putting out articles

That's uh interesting to say the least

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

AP really is a loser.

He is a total loser. Maybe White can usher in a new era of Tennessee Sports Personalities, just like we have the new money boosters leading this charge.

 

[engineerVOL]

If all these coaches are gonna hold the NCAA stuff over our heads, then you might as well higher Freeze.

After Sonny D turns us down, Danny (head hanging low) having a stiff drink at the local watering hole, hears a familiar voice from a dark corner in the saloon...

“Alright, Hugh... you win”

 

[Power T-Rev]

Heard anything on Phil McGroin?

Past sexual harassment allegations. Wouldn't play well with the media

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

If its Franklin, even though he is not in my top 3, it's a hell of alot better than we've had the past 13 years

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Check these out guys

what is this?

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Were you told by your PS4 buddy?

I was just trolling about that lol. I'm telling the truth. I was told the talks with franklin aren't Dead yet. Trust the guy who told me but that doesn't make it true. Just throwing this out there because it's what I heard.

Almost anybody can be a journalist. Just need an internet connection.

We didn’t need Danny White to usher in a new era of Vol football if it’s KS. Plowman could have done that and not even hired an AD.

you saw who you were responding to, right? cause, that was the point. lol.

Listening to Mike Farrell on Full Ride w/ Childers and Neuheisel right now and he’s saying that we are now 5 or 6 years away from contending in the East...Gross
