Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Sounding like it’s headed that direction

No way. We didn't hire an AD and pay him that much to hire Steele.

"I’m hearing there has been a reset in the search. Three people have turn the job down. We know Franklin is one. I got to think Elliot was another. Sonny Dykes may have been the third but I’m not sure if he was ever offered. "

"Yep. We have struck out in the bottom of the ninth and headed to extra innings. Reset the search. "

This guy knows nothing.

 

[PA Vol]

Is Fulmer about to for real get his way and Steele be the HC?

I want it to be Kiffin more than ever just to smite Phil.

 

[ETennGal]

Hire Freeze or Herman.

If not, shut it down.

Maybe I‘m just wearing Orange-colored glasses but I still think it’s Matt Campbell. If it’s not, someone from UTAD needs to be sitting in Hugh’s driveway asking him to get this thing done together the right way.

 

[Brillovol]

Lol, some of y'all are the most depressing aholes this side of the nuthouse. Meanwhile, I'm just waiting...

 

[Jackcrevol]

Sounding like it’s headed that direction

If it's Steele...i just...15 years was a good run.

Maybe this is the fates saying its time to not be on VN all damn time. To pursue other worldy pursuits, like reading

I swear if I have to start reading...

 

[VolGee4]

Winter is coming

Nah it was 73 yesterday.

 

[InstrumentalVol]

AtlantaVol; "Yall gotta chill, we are getting a HC with experience winning & price is no issue. Just be patient, we got this!!"
Bob_Vol:"No one say yes"
VN: "IM READY TO HANG MYSELF AND DRIVE INTO A TREEEEEEEEE"

 

[ChattaTNVol]

Will be glad when the coach is hire because:
1) we will finally know who the coach is and the disillusion (typically FF posters) will start tearing him apart and
2) the FF posters will return back to their domain and leave the RF forum.

If we hire a coordinator I'll be worse than anything the FF could send our way.

Let’s see 400 or so pages behind...won’t be able to catch up and don’t have much time been quite busy since sat. Everything is still progressing as planned. Don’t let any of this smoke from anyone in the media fool you. Everyone has an agenda. And so do we. DW knows EXACTLY what he is doing. This will wrap up quickly...negotiations and papering deals of this magnitude don’t just happen quickly especially when you are talking about the state our program is in. Be patient and be positive. I have been asked to respect the privacy of this search and I will...protecting that process makes us a better program long term.

Bump for the birds in this thread.

 

[KeyVol14]

This guy knows nothing.

Well we never offered dykes or Elliot so idk what to believe anymore

 

[VEKZY]

Everyone is refreshing VN.

 

[UTMVol76]

No fanbase can come to more conclusions with less information than us.

 

[Rizzo924]

Two things...
1. how is it this hard to get someone to work for 7-8 Million a year... don’t even care if we get the step before the death penalty
2. Wtf did a Jamey Chadwell do to not even get a sniff at their job

Exactly!! The most obvious answer to all of this is DW already has a bigger fish on the line!

 

[Dudleys87]

No way. We didn't hire an AD and pay him that much to hire Steele.

Goes to show there are people who don’t come just for money

 

[VolGee4]

Hired him away from Oregon.

Within a month on the job.

 

[Skizer41]

In the words of Aaron Rodgers we all just need to RELAX. We really have no clue what is going on. Maybe DW has a tiers of coaches. Ok so the top tier (Franklin, Campbell, Fleck) is out of reach for us. We as fans rank coaches by wins and losses. It's possible some of the guys we want (Kiffin, Freeze, Chadwell,Herman) aren't his top tier but are on a second or third tier. Let's set the pitch forks aside until the hire is made and enjoy the ride. No one really knows and the longer this goes on it becomes more apparent that no one will and DW is tight lipped.

EDIT: As proof of my post some of us don't even know when National Signing Day is..... So there's that.

He got labeled early on and got the shaft. Imo

 

[Jackcrevol]

If it's Steele...i'm catbonin'

 

[beneVOLence]

We didn’t offer Elliot. We didn’t offer Dykes. And yet Volzown is sticking to his 24 hour time. We have someone we’re not talking about or Franklin is still in the picture. Could be good or bad, idk, but DW has someone

 

[MarcoVol]

You figured it out and I'm not being sarcastic. He is not what you all thought.

Post less

 

[volbeast33]

It’s time to panic now. Franklin, Elliot, and Dykes all turned us down...tell us AV how are we supposed to be positive now. Just offer freeze or Kiffin and call it a day

I’m not AV but it’s bc that info is false.

 

[731Vol]

Herman is available. Malzahn is available. Freeze would accept. Yet we will fall back to Leipold or Dykes. Cmon UT.

 

[Kingston Vol]

At this point, it is going to be someone we haven't heard seriously connected to the job. And I'm very skeptical it'll be someone we're universally happy to have.

 

[Dudleys87]

I said we needed to make a real big boy offer to TE. Did we lowball him like we always do on 2nd tier guys? We never take 2nd tiers seriously.

If he went around asking assistants their interest in following him to UT and then turned around and said no never mind that tells me there’s more working behind the scenes and it’s not good. Imo
