Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[UTwild82]

I refuse to believe it’s true... yet

I'm with you. This CANNOT be it.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Bye. You clearly didn’t see who we just hired.

He's a good hire if he can bring in the right staff. Is he going to win the east? Idk but I think he can win 8-10 games a year here

 

[DustyRockSolid]

It's not a good hire, regressing records each year is a red flag

They will talk themselves into anything. This is a terrible hire in every single way. He will fail here.

 

[yourstruly23]

Can we back up and just fire Pruitt and pay the buyout? Then try this again

 

[Tnfan41]

🗑🗑🗑🗑 Go from Franklin to Heupel. Kentucky and Ole Miss would have better football coaches and that should never happen. Went from Big fish to a minnow.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

sorry man. normally im all jokes.

we fired our acting AD, paid a mother ****er $2 mill to hire his buddy. What the hell ?

I’m still holding on to hope that this is a smokescreen

 

[berryvol]

The silence of national media is giving me slight hope. I’m worried tho.

 

[Smokey123]

Honestly after all that has happened the last year, if we go 7-5 next year I'll happily take it, no matter who the coach is...

Personally I think he goes 7-5 in year two

 

[tnmarktx]

It wont be good in the SEC. Yall just trying to find anything to cling to.

It was ok at Missouri. I'm more worried about defense.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Does constantly bitching and whining like a two year old make it taste better for you?

Yes. It actually does.

 

[Dudleys87]

The same guy that said Pruitt would be back

 

[Bigworm87]

PLEASE. Once this hire is done everyone who threatened to leave get the hell out. Embrace the facts that this constant whiny Middle School crap isn't helping anything. NO ONE has any idea if Heupel will succeed here or not. Like every coach that you people have melted down over, he has strengths and weaknesses. If he can put together a good staff, he will be fine. Half of you people are going to gripe no matter who is hired anyway. Everyone in the country thinks White is one of the top ADs in the business except for the all knowing fans here. If you don't like my comments, put my a$$ on ignore.

 

[AppStVol]

So Lebby is good enough for Kiffin but bad for UT?

Lane is the talent.

 

[UTMVol76]

F-r-a-g-i-l-e

Must be Italian

...and Vol fan egos

 

[columbia vol]

He is friends with Heupel. He wouldn't fake this info and and this to his buddy.

And you know this how? Troll of the highest order

 

[Deebowbear]

Imagine going from James Franklin and an offer of $7-8m to Josh Heupel in less than 24 hours. Hard to believe that’s true.

Better be trying to work deal out with franklin if we want win

 

[Kingston Vol]

You all acting like VolQuest doesn’t know what they’re talking about is comical.

 

[ETennGal]

Message boards are for opinions. Opinions aren't what has killed this program. IF Heupel is the hire, I'll give him a chance, but given what we were promised by Plowman and Boyd, you're damn right I'd be disappointed. You don't over promise to under deliver and not expect disappointment. Personally, I won't believe Heupel is the hire until he's officially announced.

Still, none of this is the fault of the fans. I'm tired of seeing that BS spewed to defend the incompetence of our administration.

Agreed not fan‘s fault but fan reactions need to be better controlled. Whoever is hired, I’ll still be a VOL fan. I just may not give money to the program and instead watch from the comfort of my living room.

 

[Skizer41]

If Hank is this excited it has to be PJ Fleck.

What was his opinion on Franklin?

 

[m1al]

Where did this Heupel talk come from???

Out of AP's ass...

 

[Rizzo924]

That's the statement that gives me pause... cuz I think AP is lost for stuff to talk about. What exactly is @HankHill 's connection?

 

[Dooby15]

Bye. You clearly didn’t see who we just hired.

You think Heupel can win here if they can put a staff around him?

 

[Smokey123]

It wont be good in the SEC. Yall just trying to find anything to cling to.

Except he killed it at mizzou

 

[msanford52]

Price and Hubbs

That makes it more unbelievable
