Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[TennSam]

$1.8 base.... Remember he gets a 5% raise every year and an extension every year.

With that hire I would say base is all he will get.He won’t reach any incentives.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Excuse me for watching UT's death throes and not reacting like you sheep.

Lol. Good night bro

Depressing

 

[yabo]

I said this earlier but ill say it again, there’s a reason we’re not talking to Sexton’s clients. I believe that reason is because the violations aren’t as bad as expected and they would have to dilvulge that information to the clients and sexton.

 

[volatil]

“FireHeupel said”

 

[drvenner]

Lol I wish y’all would get off Freeze’s sack.

No school is touching him right now. It’s a non-starter.

But, it's who they want or they will take their ball and go home. He is the only answer if the stupid AD would just listen to their yelling about it.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

False. He would come tma.

I don't believe that a bit. He likes to flirt

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I mean, we can all wear the orange tinted glasses I guess.

But we're in a terrible spot, coming off a 3-7 season, NCAA punishment pending, basically a week before NSD, just fired a HC and AD for the 2nd time in 3 years in the same off-season...maybe if we had lost Pruitt after 8-5 to him taking a different job or something we'd be in a different position.

Even with all that said, Heupel is still a solid hire, is he the "blow up social media" hire that Freeze or Kiffin would be? No, he's not. Is he a "big fish" hire that Herman, Gus, Franklin, Campbell, or Fickell would be? Nope. What he appears to be though is someone who knows how to coach, knows how to score points and has been successful at every stop he's been at.

Plus there isn't any bad press on the dude that I can find.

 

[VolDaddy87]

Go to the Liqour Store

I make terrible choices.....

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Excuse me for watching UT's death throes and not reacting like you sheep.

Can you offer an statistical retort to what Bass said or just the usual drivel?

 

[SweetasSoda]

Basilio saying we didn't even contact Herman.

How does he know?

 

[RockyTop411]

How do we know Basilio is right?

just a lot of smoke early he’d be interested. @Kingzport mentioned something early on a couple days ago and tonight, and some other articles mentioned he’s looking for a chance. Who knows if it’s true though

 

[eVOLve]

And?

We suck

 

[Dudleys87]

I was thinking this guy would fix UT athletics. I was saying some coaches need to start sweating a bit. If this is the hire they need not worry.

 

[sona]

I am infinitely more excited that @Neyland Rising has graced us with his presence than I am about this hire.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

So you just make stuff up?

Make what up?

That’s 5-6 and after we add the cupcake then 6-6.

 

[De La Cloobs]

So let me get this straight... We extended Pruitt in a covid year and by the end of that same year shot ourselves in the foot by tattling on ourselves just so we could save money by firing Pruitt for cause just to use that money we saved for a home run hire. We overpay for a topnotch AD to come in and fix our idiocy but because we shot ourselves in the foot with a 12 gauge, every good hire sees us as a crippled program and doesn't want to come so we settle on yet another bargain bin hire.

CLASSIC!

Our administration is Dog Ass and they are the only ones to blame for this mess.

 

[Ten_Titans]

I think an entire fanbase of a G5 team celebrating we took their coach is probably a red flag. A bigger rad flag than Aaron Murray saying Pruitt is a butt hole.

Also. It kind of pokes holes in the "Trust White because he has never screwed up a hire" theory.

 

[Weezer]

Sad, but not unexpected

Who would be MUCH more excited with Herman?

I'd be more excited with Herman.

 

["It's Time"]

Keep whining. It will eventually help

Doubt it.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

So did we refuse to talk to Sexton’s coaches????

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I said this earlier but ill say it again, there’s a reason we’re not talking to Sexton’s clients. I believe that reason is because the violations aren’t as bad as expected and they would have to dilvulge that information to the clients and sexton.

Uhm....what? Why would we NOT want clients to know the sanctions aren't that bad? The whole narrative right now is no one wants to come here because of the NCAA. It would make zero sense to hide that and affect the quality of coach willing to accept the job.
