Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[MarcoVol]

I get the Freeze appeal, but if you are UT administration, how do you trust Freeze not to eventually humiliate you in one way or another? It’s simple- you don’t.

Or how do you trust him not to lie to his own players and recruits like he did at Ole Miss

 

[bignewt]

WRONG! Even Low just said he did. He has been texting many people to get this job. I know one of them.

I don't believe it, sorry.

 

[Brick_By_Brick]

Naw. There isn’t anything to realize. We are a top program who keeps spitting out garbage when we make bad hires. We also keep making coaches not want to come here but opening investigations on them and firing them for cause. We are our own worst enemy and our administration has tanked a once proud program. And same thing was said for Pruitt, he just needs a good OC.

You haven’t been paying attention the last 15 years, have you? We’ve been irrelevant for nearly two decades.

Anyone that thinks we’re a “top program” is delusional.

 

[84Volfan]

Easy to say now that it's off the market. He's still trolling.

Low talked to Kiffin last week.....

 

[Volnut]

Thames hints at spending money on big name DC in his article. Hopefully he knows something

I would just roll with Steele. If our program is so toxic, they’re going to whiff on a big name DC anyway, even with big dollars.

 

[Smokey123]

We hired the offense version of Will Muschamp

Lol what

 

[Vols2DaWall]

LoL. If talking out of your @ss was an Olympic sport, you would be a gold medalist.

Neither you, nor anyone else on this board has any idea of who did or didn’t have internet. But I’m willing to bet many said “no” immediately.

Dude, who the **** do you think told Chris Low about the hire? It's pure PR/spin mode now from our feckless leaders. Kiffin/Freeze would have come here immediately and both would have been 10x the hire. Our administration just doesn't give a **** about winning football games

 

[volinbama256]

Then stop saying baseless things like this :

LMAO!!! Metal and AV need to take a freakin LAP.... then grab Plowman and DW and have them run stairs...

 

[VolInDayton]

7-5 and it will be a very fun product to watch

You will be on board soon

I won't be on board with this coach any sooner than year 3 LOL.

 

[yabo]

Safe to say we can only take @LA Vol word now....only one that kept it real the entire time.

 

[Volnut]

Still could have had Kiffin or Freeze.

WRONG! Even Low just said he did. He has been texting many people to get this job. I know one of them.

INSIDER ALERT

 

[Aesius]

Low talked to Kiffin last week.....

Regardless, he knows he's not getting the job. The same power players that were in Knoxville in Jan. 2010 are there in Jan. 2021. It's not going to happen, but by floating his name out all the time he gets to have a little fun and boost his own profile.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

I mean this respectfully. At least now we can stop the insider worship and realize yes, some may have more info than others but at the end of the day nobody in this forum is privy to major decision making.

 

[VOLSONLY]

Sources: UCF's Josh Heupel to be Tennessee Volunteers football coach — ESPN

 

[Vols4us]

Freeze was never an option, if Auburn did not even look at him, we definitely were not going to hire Freeze. That was a pipe dream.

And Auburn did not look at Josh Heupel either.

 

[engineerVOL]

According to Lowe, on the Swain event we didn't even talk to Kiffin and he also just said he would have loved to have the job.

Feels like he didn’t interview anybody. I’m not buying we couldn’t get “interest.” Money talks and moves.

 

[BruinVol]

Nope. Im not buying their ish any more. I hated the Pruitt hire but didnt harp on it for the sake of my friends on here. Im going to be one of the most hated poster on here. I'll probably be pass you up. I'm not going to hold back, I'm calling it like I see it.

Lol

What you talking about?

I am moving up the list around here now that my campaign against AV has exposed the truth

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Yep. 100%. Can’t wait for AV to come in with his BS. I could have gone and got Kiffin and Freeze tomorrow with some VFLs. We would have packed their bags for them and been excited to bring us back to relevance. But our administration wants people they can control and bows down to boosters. They are killing this program for their egos.

This x 1000000000. This is the truth, 100%. We could have had Kiffin or Freeze and would have been in a much better position long term and short term. Instead, we go bargain shopping and talk about how there was "no interest"

 

[jpope9]

anyone else drinking yet?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Heupel going to target Lebby and Kendall Briles as OC. Randy Shannon not coming, Going to try to keep Steele. Possibly keep Tee and Jay. Look for Elarbee as OL coach.

If Heupel pulls one of those two for OC with Bailey, Salter and Hooker..we are going to score a lot of points.

Defensive staff is the absolute key for us. Ironically...Kevin Steele may end up being the savior of the UT football program...just not in the way he wanted.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

Heupel going to target Lebby and Kendall Briles as OC. Randy Shannon not coming, Going to try to keep Steele. Possibly keep Tee and Jay. Look for Elarbee as OL coach.

I’m fine with all of that

 

[snowvols]

UCF is now better than us............... LET THAT SINK IN.... they will hire Freeze and enjoy the free money we gave them... Pathetic. Hope someone has the balls to call DW out on that....

Lebby is not coming...

Heupel will not recruit well in the SEC

Getting to a bowl game is our ceiling now.

3yrs and we will be looking at the next up and comer....

Why does it matter that Lebby comes? Heupel is the OC. He called plays at UCF when Lebby was there. They had the #2 offense with Lebby and after he left they still had the #2 offense.

 

[Ashevolle]

Except Low just said he talked to Kiffin and Kiffin said he would take it

This is utter BS. He would have taken what? He didn't even know the offer? He's trolling plain and simple

 

[84Volfan]

Lol what

Pretty good analogy honestly. WM defensive genius but meh HC
