Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[VOL608]

FWIW

“Bob Stoops met with the team today and I’m told he did tell them he was “just here to help for time being” and also “too old to keep on coaching long term.” Per a few sources.”

-Update from 247

Unless OU gets Campbell from ISU, I wouldn’t be surprised if Stoops is the head coach for one year.

There are no women on the internet. Everyone knows this.

You need to get woke. It's almost 2022. I will bet ya there are at least a dozen women on the interwebs RIGHT NOW! All under guys names of course, BUT STILL HERE!

 

[Jimmy Football]

Chadwells ncaa issues can’t be that bad right? His name has not come up in any coaching searches I’ve seen. You’d think VT would be interested.

Chadwell’s big problem is that he wants to keep his staff together, Scott Frost style, and AD’s have seen how that has worked out.

I would advise him to take a Heupel approach, with a good mix of his guys and guys with Power 5 experience.

Follow-Up...

I thought I might just be being unfair and cherrypicking his most recent year. So, out of intellectual honesty - I gave him another season. Maybe in 2020 he really steamrolled his way and wasn't just lucky winning a bunch of coin flips...

Naw

3 pt win over Ga St
2 pt win over Ga Southern
4 pt win over UAB
10 pt win over 2-10 Texas St
7 pt win over Arky St
3 pt win over App St
7 pt win over UTSA

He either made a deal with the devil and should head straight to Vegas to play craps or he's just a meaty okre coach waiting to be exposed

They will spin it that his teams perform well in crunch time.

UT doesn't like to comment on things they consider a non-issue. It's all speculative. If it becomes something more, it might be addressed within the context of something else.

That’s fairly standard across the board, not just a UT thing.

 

[99Vol]

But….. He’s maintained relationships at every job he’s ever had (minus the raiders, they didn’t get along well). He’s still great friends with people from his time as USC and Tennessee, and everyone says he’s great to work with

Dude, I’m trying to have a relaxing Sunday evening and catch up on the threads and you have like 20 posts slobbering all over Kiffin, give it a rest or exercise your demons on the Ole Miss boards then come back when your ready… geez

 

[Dooby15]

I’ve seen quite a few people say that Heupel wouldn’t go back to OU because he got fired from there but wasn’t it Stoops that fired him? I’m not sure why he would have animosity for OU if Stoops made the call.

Stoops was named interim so I’m sure he still has a lot of influence about who is hired. Like I said, never say never. But my bet is Heupel hasn’t forgotten how it ended.

 

[BaldBiker]

Yep
Until the search hits the UT front door......

Could be some assistants in play. That would suck.

Head coach. My Jimmie's ain't ruffled. I think he's smart enough to know he's good to go here.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Even the Clay Travis’ of the world writing tweets and sh*t ab OU and Heup. It’s not going to happen get over it.

 

[SoilVol]

Someone should hire Barry Odom.

And someone should hire Lebby and Briles. Take all the assistants from Ole Miss and Arkansas.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

I think Hubbs is spot on in his evaluation of the Heupel - Oklahoma talk. Unlikely that Heupel throws his name in the hat on his own given the rocky nature of his relationship with Bob Stoops, but if they reached out to him it would be interesting to see if he'd listen.

I don't really see it getting to that point. I think Bob Stoops takes back over when it's all said and done. His continued involvement in the program in recent years combined with him being named the interim coach for the bowl game makes me think his coaching days aren't over in Norman.

So, it's like we can talk about any other coach all day long, but let us mention the "K" word, and OMG...

 

[SoilVol]

Chadwell’s big problem is that he wants to keep his staff together, Scott Frost style, and AD’s have seen how that has worked out.

I would advise him to take a Heupel approach, with a good mix of his guys and guys with Power 5 experience.

Chadwell could go to Virginia Tech with his offensive staff and do everything he can to get Grantham to be his DC. That would be pretty dangerous in the ACC.

 

[VOLSONLY]

I wouldn't worry about any of our marquee HCs leaving this year. UT leadership has met with them individually, asked each one what they need to make their programs successful and worked with them to create a plan that gives them the resources they need. They all know that stability is important to UT, and UT has committed to all sorts of things-- staff enhancements, facility improvements and longer-term contracts. We want our coaches to make short lists-- it means they're doing well. They're also happy at UT and know that UT is invested in keeping them.

If you don’t care, post this about every 30 minutes for all these worriers.

 

[Wickman]

It wasn’t an advantage at the time, but now with all the transfers last year we’re kind of in a good position with the portal. Vols doing better than expected, a lot of playing time to offer, and I’m sure plenty of potential NIL deals available... we can be a completely different team next season after the portal.

[KnoxVillain]

what a douche bag way to announce this:

A bit nit picky don't you think?

 

[LA Vol]

New contract?

They have longer term contracts. But if UT needs to restructure deals, they can. We'll probably see assistants' names continue to be linked with other jobs, so UT may have to move proactively. It's silly season.

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

There are no women on the internet. Everyone knows this.

Not true at all. And some of then even have clothes on.

 

[butchna]

And all perfectly capable of peeing standing up!

Stoops looked pretty content chilling on the Big Noon Saturday pregame coverage. Why would you want to come back to the recruiting grind of CFB?
