Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

hope to see Levis on his arse.

What guy's arse you wanting to see in jeans?

 

[Weezer]

The thing I remember most is the happiness of being told we were going after a big name only to be completely crushed to learn it was Franklin. It was like someone put a dagger thru my heart. Was hoping it was false, then AV confirmed it and seemed excited, and all I could think was...

 

[engineerVOL]

Like it? No. I didn’t know. My position was that he can coach offense and QB’s and if he nailed the DC hire it could work out. He was a total unknown for me.

I didn’t even know Josh Heupel was a head coach.

Yeah...I was devastated...I absolutely despise Franklin, and could not support the Vols with him as HC. I was in "anybody but that piece of walking excrement" mode after that bit of info came out.

 

[SpringBokVol]

I was actually surprised at how many people were okay with and even excited by bringing in Franklin.

I was trying to come to terms with it because I thought it was happening but so glad it didn’t.

 

[SugarCC]

I remember not being a fan of a potential Franklin hire.

Pretty sure with CJH I was 'wait and see'.

Whenever I heard about Franklin, I was .
However, I'd be lying if I said: 24-15, back to back 9 win seasons at Vandy, didn't at least make me not . Whatever the dude is or isn't, overrated or not, he absolutely has that; and, it should NEVER be understated, if maybe it's the only thing he has.

With that said, nothing but joy it wasn't him.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Yours truly was the 1st to bring this info to the forum that fateful night. Right above Mr. Swanson I might had. You may hold your applause of course.

Prime delivery?

I’m sure HE thinks so.

 

[Vfl2407]

Prime delivery?

she was his accountant
provided spreadsheets

 

[tnvols72]

@VFL28 said he’d rather have Steele than Heupel. Said Heup’s another Dooley

I remember saying it reminded me of Fla hiring Spurrier from Duke and people laughed and after his first year nobody could do nothing with his offense and I hope the same thing happens with the Heup hire.

If any of you are fans of the book Dune, you will love the movie. Been a long time since I've seen a movie stay so true to the book.

Haven’t watched yet but how much does the movie cover? Aren’t there like 6 books? Hopefully they do it right and make a trilogy or something out of this

Give me fuel. Give me fire. Give me that which I desire.

In the Condiment Bowl...LOL

Edit: Welp I am a day late. My life.

I did not want him. Thought it would be a huge expensive mistake. I was going to accept it .
We got the coach we needed .

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

it is intereating that our offense seems to wain in second half. talk me out if it.

Do you think that’s fatigue since we don’t enough guys to sub appropriately for the speed that we run the offense?

 

[RikidyBones]

Ya boy was down on Elliot

 

[tomq_123]

Not sure which one of you this is, but I’d like to buy you a beer sometime.

 

[chargervol]

HAHA! The atmosphere was so awful in here at the time cause so many coaches turned us down. So glad Franklin said no. It did have the feel of having to settle when we hired Coach Hype.

With some of the coaches we've believed in, maybe disappointed was a good thing.
We clearly can't be trusted.


For a once premier program, it is weird tho.
Every hire, my wife has asked if he's a good coach.
And for every hire, I've shrugged and said "guess we're going to find out".

 

[chargervol]

Yes!!!
The fact that her handle is - did my kid say that? Makes it perfect

 

[HankHill]

Love to be wrong, I think he being one of the most athletic players is more of how unathletic we are in that spot though. Lol. Hope your right, love the kids heart and fight.

There were a lot of staffers on the previous staff (and this staff ie: Simon) that were really high on Beasley at LB, just like they were on banks. ILB is the hardest defensive position to play in this conference because of all the motions and RPOs.

Compare banks to when he first moved over to now and it’s night and day. This is his first true year at LB and there’s going to be bad moments. Part of it.

Another thing to remember: the other guys are on scholarship too lol. He’s not missing tackles against Carson Newman

 

[Smokey X]

I need to see repercussions on the faking injuries front. A coach as classless as Kiffin isn't going to be the norm but we start reaching big time games again..

As long as we've waited, some punk coach costs us a big win with that crap.
I ain't scared to mustard a mofo.

haha....quotable quotes

Pruitt saysView attachment 405956

Please don’t insult the memory of Inigo Montoya by implying any similarities to pruitt.

Inigo would say to pruitt, “ You tried to kill my football program, prepare to die.”

I remember saying it reminded me of Fla hiring Spurrier from Duke and people laughed and after his first year nobody could do nothing with his offense and I hope the same thing happens with the Heup hire.

After I calmed down and thought it through I said essentially the same thing. I love hiring an offensive innovator. They can take lemons and make lemonade - lift the program faster and create excitement. Like others including Bass, I was all about who he hired and especially on D. When I saw Banks at DC with CRG likely - that sealed the deal for me. Willie was my only worry. Now I am over that because I see the combo of Willie's and Banks' strong experience in the secondary as a terrific combo.

It feels good to forget about coaching searches for awhile. Now we can get back to focusing on recruits to rebuild this roster as fast as possible.

Defense has to be manageable in todays game. Effectively get two stops against some of these offenses and you win.

Georgia being the outlier.
