Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[therickbol]

I bet it’s more of a partnership than we are making it out to be. Again, they have worked together for 3 years.

Ding, ding, ding.

Lol trust me or don't, I don't give a ****.

I've heard it from enough people to know it's true.

I have no problem letting people decipher information as true or not- just like AV. But you can't say that it's fact, just coming from others. That's the difference.

* for our staff

P.s. just kidding, but seriously why is DW making this hire and not the HC?

Nothing concrete but Swanson posted an update from VQ and it stated that JH wants Conklin but DW wants either Banks or Rogers. Hopefully it’s BS. But it is TN..

 

[Ron Swanson]

That’s just evil....

 

[Geronimo]

That’s just evil....

I bet @Ron Swanson had a life lesson in there somewhere.

In the war room last night, Hubbs said that we’re squarely behind the 8 ball with the 22 class. Said a lot of kids want to make early decisions and we just don’t have enough time to build relationships there.

Obviously if we look good on the field this year, things could change.

Recruiting is so fluid I’m not worried about this. If we show good things on the field Tennessee will recruit itself.

Can’t sign until December. So last time I checked that is roughly 11 months to figure things out.....

 

[Volator]

I told my kids we are out of popsicles. Doesn’t mean it’s true.

So you lie to you kids ... Guess you think someone else will teach them honesty...hmmmm

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

What a perfect gif

 

[TrippieRedd]

@ Titans get JJ Watt plzzzzz

Right, I wouldn't say he was "forced" to hire Shannon. But when your boss comes to you with a "recommendation," you have to take it, don't you?

That hire failed - Shannon was awful.

I tell my boss no all the time.

If you know your boss is bringing a "recommendation" that you don't want, you bring your own. Bring them solutions, not problems and you can say no as much as you want from my experiences.

No, you don't. Two grown men discuss it professionally, and then a joint decision can be made or the superior says, "It's up to you."

And the difference between having a DC a couple days ago vs a couple days from now will make LOTS of difference in these relationships that we have not been able to form yet? As usual, we overreact to everything.

 

[mikemist]

Well, take that too ...

Yeah we need to be shooting for 7 wins or so this year.

The only roller coasters I don't like are those stand-up ones that have that piece between your legs. I rode one once and it left me walking funny from crushing my boys. Swore to never ride one again. It didn't scare me, it was just unpleasant, lol.

Most of them are uncomfortable rides, even if you do manage to keep your jewels safe. The same sort of forces that are fine if absorbed in a seating position are not so fun when they’re being absorbed by your knees, shins, and feet.

There’s a reason none of the manufacturers get orders for those anymore.

This ****** guy... haha

Urban Meyer...the human unforced error.
Jags' Meyer defends hiring controversial Doyle

I hope it blows up in his smug, punchable face.

Exactly, this idea that JH met with Shannon, viewed his resume, and thought man this dude would be a terrible hire for the DC at UCF but I better hire him because my AD recommended him is beyond stupid. It turned out that he was a bad DC the last couple seasons at UCF. The idea that he would have been viewed as a terrible hire on the front end by JH is completely ridiculous.

Hey Ron....






Can I get a popsicle?

You are right it’s not a fact. It’s been assumed that DW hired Shannon and forced him on JH.

 

[preacherwebb]

I’ll take disemboweled bodies and exploding heads any day over...whatever this thing is.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

If what Swanson posted is true that JH wants Conklin and DW wants others, and we end up hiring Conklin... does the board self explode? Do we have a moment of hope, or do we immediately begin hating the hire? I just need to get prepared.

 

[drvenner]

Y'all can say what you want, but refusing to black list a friend and colleague of 20 years on the back of unsubstantiated accusations shows character... Not a lack of character. Jmo.

Like Urban or not, the convenient thing to do would be to hire someone else and avoid the criticism. I can respect someone who does what they think is right instead of what is convenient. Especially these days.

Iowa thought it was substantiated enough to let him go. It is not just one, disgruntled player. It is more than that. That lends substantiation to the allegations.
