Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

Remember when the score was 28-24 with 8:35 left in the 3rd qtr vs Mizzou. . . and we won 66-24?

He’s proven himself at three different stops…so I don’t think you overvalue him at all. My opinion that the hiring pecking order was Franklin, Elliott and THEN Heupel is based on nothing but opinion. Homerun and/or diversity hire seemed to be a priority amidst the chaos he entered. From the background info you submitted, I’d only add that a truly great program builder never bats 1.000. They simply make WAY more good moves than average or meh. And they don’t double down when it’s not working.

I agree 100%

 

[volbeast33]

Why would he leave for a dysfunctional program like USC? What have they done lately that Tennessee has not? He would be foolish to leave for a program that always looks good from the outside, but is always a dysfunctional dumpster fire on the inside.

I don’t think he is going anywhere but that sounds like us when he took over…. Except we might not have looked good from the outside.

But we weren't in CALIFORNIA...which is imploding.

Does the USC AD opening concern anyone else a bit? I’ve already seen a number of Trojan twitter pages naming DW as one they’ll be interested in. I certainly hope not.

The labor laws and work culture are awful in CA. It makes being any type of leadership for business incredibly difficult to maneuver in. Plus, the taxes are crazy high. Anyone choosing to leave TN to work in CA right now didn't really think that one through all too well.

Good God. I really thought the BVS had subsided. I guess not. No no worries at all.

Hmm, that is fair. I do forget we still have an NCAA investigation pending LOL.

Hell no! This is another reversal of past suckitude and another milestone on the road to greatness! DW would say that Tennessee is the best job in the country with the best fan base. He's not a self-involved and naive idiot like whatshisname was!

And snap! There goes another past bad omen into the trash!

Big day for baseVols! Spatchcocking capons!

The Chronicles of Georgia is a colossal stone monument that goes by several names. Often called “The Georgian Stonehenge”, the “Stonehenge of Tbilisi” or “History Memorial of Georgia”

Think that’s weird? Check this out:

Question. Did Len'Neth Whitehead transfer too late to play in the SEC this year? I was just wondering if that's why Kirby threw bags his old fashioned way and took him as a walk-on instead of putting him on scholarship. Idk. Just asking.

He is an east coast guy….. not concerned at all

Haha, no way. That would be too ironic.

Tennessee is a destination job, people! Unlearn your old negavol handwringing!

Would Georgia throw bags at Whitehead…. I don’t think we were upset that he left.

He went into the portal months ago. I think that’s the date, not when you commit to a school.

Thanks, that's what I was asking because I didn't remember.

DW is a superstar in athletics so we might as well get used to everyone looking at him when opportunities arise. I have no doubt that Heupel will be in some of the same conversations when someone needs to hire a head football coach. It appears that both are very happy with their current situations at UT though.

He's a walk on at Georgia

Why are we actively looking for something to get worried about? DW isn’t going anywhere.

Get back in there Grant. Long series. I smell a redemption.

Get back in there Grant. Long series. I smell a redemption.

Can’t wait to see the Celtics and Lakers come back and win the series each, and they play for the ship. Lakers win in game 7.

The battle for the most NBA championships.

Can see it now
