Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[VolsDoc81TX]

My biggest desire for what I wanted to see from this new staff was to see our team fight to the end...to restore what being a Tennessee Volunteer always meant to me. Everybody knows my total disgust for the cancerous lazy quitter attitude that had rotted our program to the core, so I'm not going to rehash that.

I want to thank Josh Heupel and staff for restoring pride and true Volunteer spirit back into this team. I can't wait to see where we go from here.

Mmmmm, rehash

New info to add to Payton: all of his tests came back negative so it is just a banged up type issue…. I would expect him to probably play this week but will know more toward the end of the week.

Now, I know you all do not want me to post the tweets of Andy and his new woman.

 

[peaygolf]

I am very aware of that.

Amazing some think you can hold up a UT Coach for hire sign and have coaches flocking to the interview. Ole Johnny was a no-brainer.

What's just as odd is that no coach has ever left and been really successful at his new school.

Considering what actually happened he should...Franklin or Elliot would have been a disaster...luckily they chickened out on taking such a hard job and we got a good coach that also happens to be a decent human being.

Franklin is a decent coach and horrible piece of human trash, and Elliot is a mediocre coach and a good human being....I am thankful that neither one if them had the balls it took to take on this rebuild.

We got lucky..DW can think what he wants..unless...he poison pilled the offers to those two, knowing they would not take it, offers that were forced on him to make to get a "diversity" hire, so he could get the guy he actually wanted all along

I don't buy that ..he got lucky

You keep saying Franklin is a good coach or a decent coach. He is a good recruiter. Tell me why you think he is a good coach?

 

[peaygolf]

No way he is leaving for LSU after his comment today
Jimbo Fisher: I would be the 'dumbest human' to leave for LSU

Well...................If the shoe fits................
How can one man burn a program like FSU to the ground? Must be pretty dumb!

TWO 9 win seasons at Vandy. With Rodgers and Carta-Samuels at QB
That's pretty good coaching.

He's not great, but that is impressive

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

No way in h**l Huepel takes the Oklahoma job, not after how they did him in 2014. And honestly even if he did leave I wouldn’t be worried, now that the ncaa stuff is behind us and we are overall in a much better position than last year we could easily make a splash hire. It won’t come to that but still no need to worry imho

Define "splash hire". Johnny is really the last splash hire we've made in any major sport and that was over forty years ago.

 

[drvenner]

The lyrics are actually "revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night". Talking about a hot car with a deuce carburetor. I had to look it up years ago because the words didn't make any sense to me.

So, you were blinded by the light, too?

 

[drvenner]

Define "splash hire".

For us, until Heup, it has meant egg on our face. That kind of splash.

Yes we do!!!

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Your right, probably tag teamed.

London Bridge style....

Penn State disagrees

 

[peaygolf]

Penn State disagrees

They do, and I'm glad, but it still doesn't take away from what he did.
Maybe Franklin is a Norvell, Fuente, Dykes kind of coach...Someone who can be really good at the G5 level, but not at a big P5 school. I don't know.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

I hope UF hires Kiffin. He would fall on his face there. Better for him to leave OM now after corral leaves also.

Most of our recent hires have been the 300 pound guy in the belly flop contest. Different kind of splash.

Phil didn't even get a sniff at another good job...that should tell anybody with a speck of cognitive ability exactly what the world of CFB thought of his coaching ability by that time.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I'd say Rick Barnes was a splash hire, but I'm sure because his dumbass Texas AD thought he was too old people felt it was a retread.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I think he is a mediocre-good coach based on the results he has gotten, being a good recruiter is part of being a decent coach, but you are right about him too..on gameday he has flopped badly several times.

Look...I think I hate that guy worse than anybody on VN, so I do not care if you tear him to shreds..have at him...I am just being honest.

I was out as long as he was our HC if he had taken the job.

Knew when we got him we got a steal.

Granted I said that about Pearl, and, Peterson.

He was quietly interviewed at Arkansas in 2012, but never got close. That says a lot.

66% ain't bad. I think most people were shocked at how bad old Buzz ended up being.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

what is a london bridge style? drawn and quartered and head mounted? Or, crown jewels? i got nuthin'.

I thought we hit the jackpot in Pruitt…. I will go back to my corner in shame.

Someone soon is going to get Will Healy at Charlotte, and will be a game changer for that program.
He's waiting for the Ga. Tech job from what I here......He would kill it at any ACC school (not ANY, but several)
