Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[OGbabyaviVol]

I really think they are oblivious to it. They have so much TV money. Since the same donation covers all sports, they are seeing many staying on with the basketball team doing so well. However, 20k at TBA pales to 100k at Neyland. I joke about Haslam but they need his money because they are going to have to still do things to update Neyland.

Well, if they would tell Haslam to kick rocks, I’m sure the other big donors would step their game up and account for the loss.

I think a lot is going to start happening after the SECCG. Should be official announcements by Monday.

Its Freeze, guys. Pay attention to VQ and NOTHING else during coaching searches. Those guys told us no Gruden constantly and said Schiano over and over during the search. Now they've been saying Freeze with Lindsey and others AFTER talking Freeze. If you read the VQ tea leaves Freeze has been the guy all week. No doubt in my mind.

Would be cool for an announcement today but if not today should be tomorrow or Monday, IMO.

I don’t remember ANYONE saying Schiano until the day before or maybe even that Sunday morning. Admittedly, I don’t follow VQ as much but I thought Schiano caught everyone off guard.

GUYS IT'S HUGH... Pay attention to VQ and NOTHING else during coaching searches. Those guys told us no Gruden constantly and said Schiano over and over during the search.

FYP

Poster in FF says he has been told by a "former legendary vol" that Freeze will be announced today.

Lost me at FF... heck we have a poster here that would call Brandon Johnson a legendary vol so who knows who they are talking to

 

[omghulkhands]

You and Carbons need to form ur own thread, never a positive thought out of either of you..

It was clearly meant to be humorous, but alright. Lol

Oh no, Brent Hubbs mentioned his name all the time with every coaching hot board update or article that Schiano was a very real option. But everyone just ignored it thinking "NO WAY THEY ACTUALLY HIRE SCHIANO!". The reality was that Schiano was the guy all along, everything else was just a show. Until of course the fans blew it up.

Honestly other than AP saying he thought it was going to be Freeze the rest of their info has pointed to Lindsey.

 

[Kingston Vol]

If we don’t get Freeze Saban will hire him Monday. Do we want him or not? Make it happen if so

I don’t really care what they do.

Get Lindsey, recruit like hell, and prep to beat their ass.

It’s Gru...I mean true, it’s true!

This. I'd be just fine with Lindsey or Enos. Both are great fits.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

With the Urban Meyer rumors, the fans and administration must be so supremely relieved that they have the best possible replacement just a door or two down.

Exactly. We're about to hire a great OC no matter who it is. Any of the 3 guys would be big gets. Still think it's Freeze though.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Serious question...

Although it won’t happen, if Butch is the Bama OC next year, how does Bama do?

Also, Mel tucker now EXPECTED to be named CO coach. Gonna be a good day methinks

 

[Volstar65]

You want to know how loud the Volnation fanbase’s voice is? So loud that the interim president feels the need to tweet that he isn’t the reason Freeze hasn’t been hired yet. We need to continue letting our voice be heard, that we have had enough of seeing mediocrity on the field the past decade and want to win now!

Kind of shows that people flip out at partial or fake news and starts a rant and blows up twitter. We don't let people do the job they are hired to do. I guess we know what is best. I agree we should let our voice be heard but we need to make sure the information we are fed is true.

Watch northwestern upset them and media will blame vol fans for ruining Schiano ability to call defense lol

Wow, didn’t know that. I was living in the Gruden thread so I wouldn’t have believed it anyway. Lol.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

I’ll leave the forum in the hands of you Freezeheads. Keep cool till I awaken

Yea Brent mentioned Schiano about 500 times and Mullen 400 times. If chip Kelly takes the Florida job, Mullen is probably our coach and Currie is still our AD.

 

[chavisut]

If we hire Freeze, how long is he here? I’d put 75% he’s a HC within a year.

Depends on contract structure, but I’d say 2.

Interesting possibility... Saban retires in a year or two, Dabo stays, Pruitt bolts, Freeze promoted.

Another reason I want Freeze, as I think the above scenario is at the very least, reasonably possible

Disgusting.

I'm guessing 2 but if it's just 1 that's okay with me. That means we'll have another OC search next November and as a Vol fan that's the best time of year!
