Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[snowvols]

That's what's kind of weird. Wouldn't the Buffalo coach of made more sense if he was going to do a rehire?

Buffalo scored and ton of points, but it was almost al from their rushing attack. They were like 110th in passing. Maybe White didn't think that was going to work in the SEC.

How’s kiffy so much better then this guy
If he gets a defensive staff that can coach we’re gonna be pretty good
If he’s our coach this past year we win 7

Kiffin can recruit.

 

[InVOLuntary]

They are counting on the Vol Sheep Nation to eat this **** sandwich while telling you it's choice prime rib. Will they buy it, again?

 

[Vols2DaWall]

LOL

OMG THO HAVE YOU LOOKED AT HIS METRICS

 

[BigSteve09]

Hard to get a whale when everyone turned you down

I was just joking with them. I don't hate the hire and I think this says more about the trouble we are in with the ncaa.

Feels like DW struck out on finding a date to the big dance so he showed up with his sister

 

[Jimdog's Revenge]

Who knew FU money was going to be directed @ the fans...again.

 

[Frankwillie87]

LOL at Jeff Fisher. Be serious.

Any NFL coach immediately brings credibility to recruiting and has run a professional organization. There's plenty of failed, meh NFL coaches that have done very well in college. Still better than Heupel who was probably on the hot seat going into next year at UCF.

 

[Aesius]

Well, at the very least we know White will bend over backwards for Heupel. He has now hired him twice so clearly he thinks very highly of the guy and has a good relationship with him.

 

[nashvol1]

This is offensive. No more of my hard earned dollar will go there.

 

[VolInDayton]

Atlanta Vol is a clown.

I'm just happy all his dreams have came true.

So Penn State has the scandal to end all scandals and they hire Bill O'Brien and then follow that up with James Franklin, but we're such an unattractive destination nobody wants to come to Knoxville? I think all that malarkey we hear about this is just people around the program trying to justify their failure, some of whom post to this thread. I tell you this, they don't start off these searches in the gutter. No, they start off "over the moon". We just tend to end up in the gutter because they're FOS and incompetent beyond measure. jmo.

 

[JCP201]

I don't know much about this guy. Do you think he has the ability to beat Saban, Kirby and Mehlen? Or are we hoping we can come out ahead of SC, Mizzou and Vandy?

 

[nate from decatur]

How much longer will this forum be necessary?

 

[jakez4ut]

Low is on Swain Event. Sounds like according to him that we struck out on A LOT of coaches to end up with Heupel.

there's no way we didn't. we have struck out pretty big on every search. and that was w/out a complete overhaul at every level of leadership AND ncaa cloud and half hte roster in the portal.

it really shouldn't be a huge surprise....

 

[GroverCleveland]

It's Heupel. And I think it is a good hire, reserving the right to change my mind in three years.

We have to face it, Tennessee is NOT a destination job. We have been told "Thanks, but no thanks" by coaches all over the country. It is a pipe dream we were going to hire The One True Coach that everyone knew would have us in Atlanta in three years. The only ones of that ilk are Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Lincoln Riley, Dabo Sweeney, Ryan Day and Brian Kelly. And not one of those would do more than take the phone call to say "no thanks" and then laugh about it with their staffs. Geez, there are a lot of folks on here who would have balked and raised Cain if it was being announced we were getting Kirby Smart, who is a notch below that group.

We're a mess. Let's hope CJH's youth and energy shows positive results quickly. Frankly, given the coaches that have turned us down, we're lucky to get someone of this caliber.

Go Vols and Welcome to Knoxville, CJH.

AV and the Haslams

As soon as you say Av the vista gets amnesia and claims he didn’t say things he literally said clear as day

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Even still... no matter the number. We can’t attract big coaches because our administration is a joke. Who holds a three month investigation on their own coach and invites the NCAA in just to save a buyout? Coaches don’t want any part of that.

Agree. Realizing where we are as a program, I think we did okay here. As Nick said, dude might be Lincoln Riley. He needs a defensive coordinator tho in the worst way.

 

[Chuckie]

It can be an adult decision to not settle. This is beyond bad.

Don't you have some scotch to be drinking, golf to be playing, and old-ass Porsche to be driving? All while portraying yourself as some wanna-be insider? FOH

 

[84Volfan]

They are counting on the Vol Sheep Nation to eat this **** sandwich while telling you it's choice prime rib. Will they buy it, again?

Until tennessee beats Fl, Georgia, or Bama I'm just a casual fan....#keepNeylandempty

 

[csprig9]

Yeah he

Kiffin can recruit.

really knocked it out of the park at FAU
SAme situation for JH at UCF

 

[eVOLve]

Please mean it’s not Heupel.

 

[BruinVol]

They are counting on the Vol Sheep Nation to eat this **** sandwich while telling you it's choice prime rib. Will they buy it, again?

Yea

 

[berryvol]

RIP UT football. Fahr white. Gtfo AV.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

But what if it's Tomlin?



Jk but really what would his expected year 1 record be?

6-7 wins. This team is going to be thinner than paper, with large holes in many positions to start with, and when the inevitable injuries come, it will be even worse.
