Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLI

[InVOLuntary]

Did we make any plays? Like actual highlights plays? Plays that matter?

Calloway made a really nice grab early.

 

[Jimmy Football]

If Gruden is in the bag you fire Butch at 8 am tomorrow and announce Gruden at noon.

Can they do that without breaking hiring guidelines for state positions? This is something I should know, but I've never taken the time to research it.

 

[Ron Swanson]

I think they wanted to move back to the area to be closer to family, regardless of if he had ever planned to coach here.

The intriguing part for me is.

The timing and location (If true)

Exactly. That's a serious amount of smoke. Why buy a house in Knoxville right now during Butch's last days? And why buy a $4mil house in Cherokee from Haslam? Unless you're about to be the next coach?

I’m depressed at the thought of Butch possibly returning

Don’t borrow trouble cause he’s not.

No one is talking about the fact McBride may be our starter next week with no backup.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Having our first 4-8 season will come down to the Vanderbilt game IMO. We're not beating Missouri and we're definitely not beating LSU. Right now I'd lean towards us losing to the Commodores as well. If that happens Currie better have a heck of a gift inside that bag.

Good this he isn't

I saw that one. Deep ball down the sideline right?

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

I saw that one. Deep ball down the sideline right?

Yeah. He got hurt later on though

There was a really nice throw to Callaway early. They're both injured now.

 

[BeecherVol]

If they wanted to be close to mom and dad they'd buy up near the lake.

That's the intriguing part. Close enough to go whenever you want or need but ironic enough to wonder why you wouldn't be closer if that's the only reason your doing it.

Our All American DB caught one.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Yes. He went out later with what appeared to be an ankle injury.

 

[tbones0711]

If so, then he didn’t come here for the game. Didn’t even come here to visit his son. He was here for just a few hours. Either he came just to complete purchase of a house as has been rumored, or he came to sign some papers. Either way, was a purpose for the trip, wasn’t just a visit

He's been in K-town several times in two weeks....hmmmmm

They have a really nice executive airport in Morristown too. It will handle business jets easily.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

If that rumor about UT offering him 8.5 mill and upward of 8 for the staff is true that is insane. Is there another school in the country footing that kind of bill for a staff and head coach? That's gonna be a dang fine staff if true.

 

[BeecherVol]

It's interesting to say the least

 

[theutvolunteers]

My Gruden has only one cure.


Podium.

[HankHill]

I’ve enjoyed watching McBride in practice. He actually throws a really pretty ball. Wish he could’ve connected on the Almost TD pass his first drive.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

He’s coming

Don't torture yourself thinking that way. Too much lost revenue if they retain CBJ. He's damn lucky we had to hire a new AD or he wouldn't be here for 2017. We probably lost his buyout money by not going to the Sugar Bowl in '16.

 

[BigZiti09]

Butch can’t come back. He needs the extension and he hasn’t earned it. He’s done even if he wins out which he won’t.

 

[DD4ME]

He’s coming

In honor of Ron tonight
