Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[IhateGA]

We all knew how this search was gonna go. Same ole Tennessee. You can thank Plowman for making it hard to get a coach.

 

[Wickman]

If we went after Franklin, let’s go after Bobby Petrino too

 

[Blake25p]

We 5 days into the coaching search and everyone who makes their living covering Tennessee Football are CLUELESS

Are they clueless or are we in denial?

 

[lilesrt]

Lance Leipold makes alot of sense.

 

[OrangeGoggles]

Tom Herman is without a job, surely we can offer him something to entice him to come here. I mean he is collecting a $15M buyout but if he has interest in the Michigan OC position then surely we could interest him in being our HC.
I'd much rather run Herman out there than Sonny D.

Are they clueless or are we in denial?

They have admitted to being clueless.

 

[De La Cloobs]

Are we out on Franklin now? I can't keep up

Everybody is speculating

Lance Leipold makes alot of sense.

Cool our AD will be making more than our coach.

Bless their hearts, they really are throwing stuff at the wall.

3. Personal Attacks add nothing to the board. Healthy debate is expected and encouraged, but take the childish insults elsewhere. My philosophy has always been to attack the post and not the poster. Posts such as "your (sic) an idiot" don't add to the discussion. With varying opinions and viewpoints, most everyone will view some posts as idiotic. We have a great feature to make your experience here more enjoyable 'Ignore user'. USE IT.

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

I'm not clueless at all. It's Matt Campbell. Keep the faith.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Not angry, at all; just a...what do your ilk call it?..."realist".










Haha

I go off on people and call them names in long winded posts when I'm not mad, too. Haha? You mad and everyone knows it.

You: it's the same as it ever was.

Also you: blame someone who wasn't involved every time before.

AP has the most misguided sense of logical progression I've ever seen. I think he invents a new reality for himself with every new bit of "info" he turns up.

Dog we are SCREWED if Elliott turned us down.

No we’re not... Just hire Freeze, Kiffin, or Chadwell. They’re all better than all those clowns.

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

Calhoun or Monken let's ride.

Oh it's that simple, you should call over there and let them know.

Yep and a private plane landed in Atlanta about 15 minutes ago from Knoxville. Makes sense that he has been in the office all day & is now in ATL to finalize things. If Elliott is getting a raise I think that DW did him a solid & said "We're not going to hire you but lets make this look like we are so you can get that fat check." Then he will drop the bomb on all of us,

"James Franklin has agreed to an 8 year contract with $8.8M annually in CASH"

 

[tomq_123]

Well, at least Gundy hasn't gotten a raise yet.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Gruden has had to hitchhike from Vegas to Knoxville. But he's almost here and it's almost time.

 

[letsgoUT29]

There is no reason for a panic hire. The AP coach of the year would accept the job in a second. This isn’t like 3 years ago. There are good options available.

 

[AppStVol]

Relax. Elliott hasn't been offered and the sentiment with Clemson's boosters is its 50/50 if UT will offer.

His agent doing his job getting him a raise to market value.

If we go with Leipold after Vandy passed on him...boy oh boy.
