Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[eVOLve]

Look at it this way. A lot of you had talked yourselves into being ok with Marrone being the “bridge” hire. Look at this the same way except for jH offense is more fun to watch

 

[Rizzo924]

Has AP mentioned that Heupel isn't 100% signed, sealed and delivered? Basilio said its on the doorstep but not there yet. Gives me a little hope

Yes he & Hubbs both said that it wasnt a done deal, just talk heating up - the actual video was posted in this thread - & still everyone freaks out like it's a done deal. smh

 

[Jimmy Football]

In all seriousness, if it's JH, we must have missed on every single target. No way DW was expecting this. I don't think he takes this job if he knew he'd end up where he's at now. That's a really bad look to poach your last hire too.

CORRECT

Yes. It isn’t done

 

[cnick14]

Recruiting is going to be terrible

 

[Weezer]

I want the big names. I want Freeze. But we aren’t getting them. I’m just putting out there what we know to be true: Heupel is a brilliant offensive coach. He is a great developer of QB’s. He’s done this as both an OC and as a HC. I think that if you pair him with a great DC he could be successful. That’s all. If nothing else the offense will be fun to watch.

I don’t know how any of that is a bad take or even debatable

@BruinVol

You've been challenged to debate. Don't pass up this opportunity. Use your contrarian abilities for good, just this once.

Basilio and Jon Reed are both unhinged on their basketball postgame shows

Basilio didn't seen unhinged. In fact he said he wasn't sure this was true. He talked about the 50 violations and mentioned the perception vs reality of what our program is.

 

[Ten_Titans]

I’d like to know what it is they don’t like about him. Recruiting is basically the same as it was under Frost. He’s also only had one bad year there and it wasn’t that bad. 6-3 in the covid season with 10 opt outs. I don’t get it

It could be after Frost, they think they should be undefeated every season or bust.

I would think they have more sense than that. But it could be possible. But damn. He had the exact same season in his first year that Frost had, just with a bowl loss.

 

[goooooovols]

I’m not saying it is. Don’t freak out over something that hasn’t happened yet.

We’re ****ed guys

 

[m1al]

I mean I still wouldn’t be surprised if Campbell walked across the stage tomorrow

Me either.

 

[jakez4ut]

Basilio said hes not sure

FYP.

 

[De La Cloobs]

Imagine if we had just gone the route many of us have been spouting for months by just firing Pruitt and going after a real winner.

We wouldn't be getting turned down by quality coaches because we have sanctions looming over our heads. Auburn dishes out 20 million to get rid of their coach.... South Carolina dishes out 15.

Glad our incompetent administration decided to extend and report Pruitt in order to fire him for cause all in the same year.

Why does our admin love making bargain bin hires, yet give them absurd contracts and buyouts making their removal highly difficult? Maybe if they started hiring winners ages ago we wouldn't be a national embarrassment of a program.

Tonight wasn't that bad, but he was a little wilder earlier in the day, although I only got to hear a little bit.

 

[buffaloblue]

maybe you leak the name to measure reaction. Remember the Sumlin deal fell apart late to with White.

 

[Dudleys87]

So the “let this play out” guy just did a drive by but can’t offer up any hope to the fans?

Wow.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

So... 2:00 AM press conference?

 

[nesbuddha66]

So the “let this play out” guy just did a drive by but can’t offer up any hope to the fans?

Wow.

Very pretend insider

 

[SweetasSoda]

Got home from work and skipped a lot of pages trying to get caught up. In less than 5 minutes it went from Freeze to Steele to Sutterfield to Cristobal to #%%/÷÷#%^^&<_%$":&&$"÷×+........ I couldn't scroll fast enough to make sure we had not hired Butch back. So UCF's head coach? Hey, he has a great offense.

 

[4chrissy]

Heupel is the sacrificial lamb for us to make the right hire in 2024. Hope the buyout won’t set us back.

What a waste of millions of dollars for (a) getting Steele for 2 months; (b) hiring an investigative law firm to kill our program; (c) buyout of old AD; (d) buyout of new AD from previous school; (e) hiring the Parker search firm to screw us again; (f) hiring another rental coach. There should be an investigation into money wasted since November.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t give him a 5 or 7 year deal, I would rather have Steele for a year than make a long term deal with the sacrificial lamb.

 

[Skizer41]

We could have kept Fulmer and gotten the same result.

Don't be like this guy.

 

[VFL92]

So the “let this play out” guy just did a drive by but can’t offer up any hope to the fans?

Wow.

Because he doesn’t know shat. Just last week, he said the AD search was down to Ingram and Gilbert.

 

[The Comb]

@Neyland Rising i would follow you into the depths of hell

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I cant say much about the freakouts, Ive had a mini meltdown

 

[TNDCVol]

There is no way Chadwell turned it down. He makes $375k!

Also he grew up a TN fan. Who could walk in and become the hero if he saved the place.

 

[BigSteve09]

This feels like Oceans 11...

This can't be all...
