I for the life of my don’t work understand not offering Steele huge money for 3 years unless he just doesn’t want the job.

Who says they didn’t?

 

[Orange Studs]

I remember people thinking he wasn’t great but I’m not sure if that is true or not.... just curious if there was more?

I know he had a great rep and we were excited to get him back then but when things goes south we tend to lump everyone in on it. lol

Lol, I own that, stopped reading halfway through.

Shouldn’t have to. His buyout from Auburn is huge.

It’s only worth 2 years


That’s why a 3rd year is key if steele is an option which it seems now he isn’t

I just remember Willie M committed a recruiting violation and couldn’t make the game against BGSU at Nissan Stadium. Also fun fact, I sunburned my eyelids at that game. Kamara’s coming out party tho.. worth it.

I've never even heard of Willie Jewel's! Will have to check it out soon. Are you in Charleston? I hope it's here or Greenville, b/c Cola is a ****ing shithole

I'm now in N Charleston. So is Willie Jewel's. Across and down the street from CSU. I forgot to mention Martin's; it's on James Island. The same people who own and run the Martin's in TN opened one here.

 

[KB5252]

Something about his last tenure here. Not sure why. I thought he was a pretty coach and a great recruiter.

Well, as long as he's cute then.....

 

[BruinVol]

This is good

That’s awesome. Big fan of the Martins

I realize this is a silly question, but does anyone know where the UT plane is at the moment. Is it in route to Tampa? Columbus? Or the service hanger!!!!

 

[Catbone]

Thanks. If Hubbs said that it’s a done deal imo


And what an utterly awful fail of a hire it it happens. I posted when all this started I didn’t think we’d hire a good/named DC but this would be way worse than I’d even guessed

Look at the offense JH runs. Now look at the NCAA up our azz. That's why we can't get a decent DC.

See ya in 4 years

First world problems, I guess. Superficial people, calling out even more superficial people, at a billion dollar boondoggle football game.

I absolutely despise the world we live in now. I freely admit that I am an anachronism.

Sure. I’ve said the same all along

I laughed.

I called a buddy in Tampa...he had not seen it.
I texted a buddy in Columbus...he had not seen it.
I emailed a buddy at the service hangar...he wrote back that he was under strict orders not to give out any details about any comings or goings related to UT Athletics or he would be forced to watch every JG pick six over the last 5 years, plus the GaState and Kentucky games replayed all while listening to the Woo in Rocky Top over and over again for 24 hours.

It proves to me we’ve been turned down quite a bit for the DC job - now we have to take risks on position coaches who have never called a defense.

Brice also reported we’re offering three year contracts to try to get someone to bite.

I’m not saying this won’t work - this guy has a good resume and looks to be a shooting star in the profession. But no one can say it isn’t risky.

Wonder if Steele didn't want the DC job or we haven't offered. Makes too much sense for him not to be offered the job tho.

sounds like a new slogan for Vandy....”ok, everyone out of the library ,
it’s time to an anchor Rons M down”.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Absolute money in this game. The speed he brings to the LB position.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

There's a good reason for that. Tampa has the best run d in the league. Nobody runs on them.

Especially not with two backup tackles.

 

[bignewt]

I'm all about a hungry young DC willing to rock. Lettuce!

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Why do people hate willie so much?

Some of the techniques he supposedly teaches his DBs are pretty much entirely loathed by VN.
