Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Video has me hype

I nearly cried hearing that crowd. It's a smaller crowd, but it's better than anyone's had in the past year.

Clay Helton at USC went hard after Brad Davis. He Apparently said no thanks. Pittman said this guy is the best OL coach in the nation.

Another thing is.... White said one of the things the players wanted was a guy who was going to be here longer than 3-4 years, I have a gut feeling thay even if Heupel isn't great short of White getting canneded Heupel is going to get a UK Stoops like leash

Thought he said they wanted a guy that wasn't going to take three to four years to be good. As in a project.

These kinda situations build strong leaders sometimes, I love seeing our leadership putting trust and giving a louder voice to our team.. it’ll make them own it, stinger together and like Heupel said... a family

I don't want to bet on a huge jump year one. This particular offensive roster is going from one extreme to the other. Just thinking logically...it seems that we should expect improvement, but not extreme (like top 10 offense) improvement.

I hope I am wrong, and this roster takes to it like a duck to water.

I agree. Especially with losing offensive talent and having come from Chaney's broken offense. It will take a year just to install and teach them how to practice uptempo, etc.

Love our QB + WRs, but losing gray and morris hurts. RB is very unproven and OL could be a question and TE room is thin (really hope Campbell shows out though).

But scheme overcomes a lot. I still am optimistic we can hit high 20s PPG for the first time in...*checks notes*...FIVE YEARS?!?

I was listening to 104.5 out of Nashville this afternoon and they didn't think Steele would stay on board. They said maybe only one, at the most 2, would be retained.

 

[85SugarVol]

this man needs 300 likes... just a few away

 

[SLICKYINC]

Oklahoma Vols.

 

[Weezer]

He is.

Still in the portal, and can leave after the spring semester.

I nearly cried seeing someone say "hype" instead of "hyped" yet again.

Maybe his time with JH at mizz makes a difference

 

[Devo182]

As much as I hate the hire, I’m going to have to get behind the team

Why would you hate this hire? Just curious the thinking.

 

[butchna]

Course he CAN...hasn’t! If one can procrastinate they’re more open to listening.

 

[FBtime]

I'm kinda thinking that some really good assistants may look at the pending investigation and say no thanks. I hope I'm wrong.

I think coming in year one of a 6 year contract for head coach is pretty attractive.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I think he gets us to 6+ wins but we are gonna set impose a bowl ban

It would seriously be just our luck to go 9-3 and get screwed out of a great bowl game...

That would be soo Tennessee.

 

[Batman1948]

AP just posted possible names on VQ?

Insiders over here in 3---2---1 with information

 

[scienceteaching_vol]

I'm not a fan of the hire but I will give the guy a chance. If I can get on board with giving him a chance then I dont see why others cant. I'm literally probably the most negative poster here. I legit might be ignored by the most people. I should get an award.

Did someone say something?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

He’s trying to be like Stern and Cowherd, shock jock for ratings. He’s a boob.

The dumbest thing is he could’ve been Southern Dave Portnoy. He just needed to be diehard Tennessee like Dave was Patriots. Dave has Stoolies, Clay could’ve had VolTwitter behind him...

Right it's a big deal to me too. I'm hoping for no bowl ban.

 

[Devo182]

Will Muschamp as DC

Seriously? Would be a homerun in many ways...as long as he stays way out of CJH's way and completely defers to him. Can't bring his large ego with him.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

kurott garlands brother.

PWO that earned a scholarship iirc.

I didn't take his comment that way at all. But I cant find the particular quote either

 

[kw3953]

But a lot of people are all about/only know sec guys though...since that's our arena. I'll trust these UCF cats until they give me reason not to. Pruitt brought a bunch of known SEC coaches in here and went 3-7. Go get the best coaches, not just known names in the conference.

I hope you are right, but Scott Frost brought his coaches to Nebraska...

 

[Smokeytom]

Video has me hype

God we better not have another covid season. Neyland will be rocking when were dropping 35+ every game

 

[Weezer]

I don’t think we are going to like the staff at all

If this happens, then I really won't like this hire. The staff he surrounds himself with will determine his success here.
