Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Chuckie]

I expect Trey Wallace to say, "Daaaaaaa Bears" everytime I hear him talk

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I actually think he's done fine. Didn't read a pre-written statement. You guys are ridiculous.

I said later. Hes done better once he started talking football.

 

[VOLED]

I guess he's not staying. Did Tee think he was getting the job?

Maybe he thought Elliott was and would stay here?

 

[Devo182]

He's not stuck in the 80's.

Oh god that feels good to read. Modern football here we come...

 

[VolGee4]

The media's going to lob easy ones in the Q&A. Doubt anyone's going to take a risk when they're jockeying for access.

Except DA Dennis Dodd.

 

[headhunter15]

This!

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Not going to lie, he seems like a completely average dude. I kind of like that, lol. No BS.

If he's got a Batman outfit, I guarantee you he's got a tuxedo t-shirt.

 

[RockyTop411]

Y'all said the same **** when pruitt was hired.

Its like clockwork. Its why they keep trotting out these sort of coaches- they get away with it

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I suppose I really shouldn't judge the guy but we keep getting the same type hires. I always just read and never post my opinion but it was stated that we hires a bad ass AD. I think Phil could have made an equal hire and he sure wasn't a bad ass AD

Phil would have never hired a offensive machine like Heupel...ever..He would have hired Kevin Steele..that was his speed.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

I know it's 90% meaningless, but like how he talks.

Doesn't sound like a moron like Pruitt.

Doesn't sound like a cliche machine like CBJ.

Just talks like a pretty normal human being. Passionate and smart.

And when the next coach is hired you will say "I like him he doesn't sound blah blah like Mehupel."

 

[Aesius]

I know it was Mizzou but I feel a lot more comfortable with this hire knowing he's actually coached in the SEC, even if it was briefly.

 

[Air_Force_Vol27]

My kind of guy

 

[VolInDayton]

Give him a chance.

Press conferences don't matter, games do. But someone who is good at talking are normally better at creating a culture

 

[05_never_again]

I guess he's not staying. Did Tee think he was getting the job?

Probably, or at the very least thought he'd get serious consideration.

There's a reason he's only coached here for a couple of years in his career, and he only came back here after Phil became AD. He has a complicated relationship with his alma mater.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Our media is honestly butt hurt because DW didn't have a bunch of loose lips in this search. F them

 

[Aesius]

He may be better in the locker room. Saban is generally terrible at press conferences too but he wins enough that he just can be a grouchy ******* and make reporters terrified of him. And then when he does make a point it's hailed as some genius revelation because he actually said something of substance.

 

[jakez4ut]

doppelganger for Cutcliffe imo.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Y'all said the same **** when pruitt was hired.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Damn, I'll be honest Josh is more impressive in his first presser than any former coach has been.

I also loved that his son's excited about catching a pass from Peyton in Neyland, tells me Heupel is very aware of what UT football is all about.

 

[Vol_sanity]

i can’t stop laughing

Further proof that a college degree is not a good measure of intelligence

I"m good with that.

 

[butchna]

One thing we will get at least is someone that doesn't "back off" to milk the clock.

Heupel's going to try and put points on the board in every way he can. The OOC cupcakes will get a taste of it too, and he'll use big leads to get reps for his 2nd QB and young guys far better than Pruitt ever did.

Give this guy 40 seconds, 3 timeouts and the ball on the 50 and expect better than 2 sacks and a kneel down.

 

[johnfnkelly]

Give him a chance.

We gave the last 5 coaches a chance and they were all utter failures. Not buying in till he gives me a reason to.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I know it was Mizzou but I feel a lot more comfortable with this hire knowing he's actually coached in the SEC, even if it was briefly.

Not just coached. But had success.

 

[drvenner]

Where our assistant coaches hotboard at?
