Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLIX

[scvolfan7]

I've tried to sell myself this morning on Doeren. It's pretty much impossible. Sigh.

Don’t settle. We as vol fans sold ourselves on Derek Dooley and Butch Jones. We’ve tried to do our part. It’s time for something else. Enough is enough. It’s time to #TakeBackTheHill

 

[BruinVol]

Which he’s been a .500 coach at. So why do we want him again?

Yea he's been right at the level of the programs history. I am not telling you or anyone else to want him. I don't but I am telling you if you are a real fan you should support him

FSU 247 guy says Fisher to A&M today.....come on Chad Morris, Dan Brooks, and Marion Hobby.

 

[drylo]

There is nothing to sell. He’s a mediocre to bad coach who is universally hated by his own fanbase and almost got fired last year from a 2nd rate ACC program

He is not universally hated by his fanbase. Read a message board over there.

 

[RikidyBones]

If you can't support the coach and players by watching or attending games then you aren't a real fan.

That's like saying if you can't eat steak from Applebees the rest of your life, you don't like steak.

This is Ruth Chris "trotting out" Applebee steaks. Ruth Chris won't be around for much longer. Will it?

 

[kohlrums]

If you can't support the coach and players by watching or attending games then you aren't a real fan.

So I guess a lot of former players are going to fall into this category in your eyes? I don't get this. Anyone in a poisonous relationship should be granted the opportunity to get out and not be admonished for it.

 

[Ibracadabra]

Ok.









Ignored.

today? damn that's two days before their last game. that's cold.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Anyone see this guy Brad Fullington tweet about Gruden signing a MOU last Friday?

I'm sure Brad Fullington is privy to that type of information

Who gave you the authority to decide if someone is a real fan or not again?

 

[Kingston Vol]

Perfect summation.

Hire Hope | Gameday on Rocky Top

 

[drylo]

Which he’s been a .500 coach at. So why do we want him again?

He’s been over .500 four out of five years.

 

[Face]

Do you think NCSU is an elite ACC program or something? They beat Petrino and the Heisman trophy winner QB. Not a bad win. Beat Jimbo. Close in others.

This is the only time I’m going to respond to you, then you’re going on ignore.

The tweet someone posted a couple pages back says it all.

This hire is being made to beat UGA, UF, and UA (I’m going to ignore the fact we haven’t been beating others either... but the point is this hire to to get us to a level to beat those programs).

Why on earth does anyone anywhere think this NCSt Guy is going to do that? If they do, they’re wrong.

 

[BruinVol]

Who gave you the authority to decide if someone is a real fan or not again?

I guess we should shut this board down since opinions aren't allowed

 

[volfanCLT]

He is not universally hated by his fanbase. Read a message board over there.

I know multiple NCST people who would be happy for us to take him.

Also, if you’re best argument for a coach is he maybe isn’t hated by ALL of his fans, well, you do you.

 

[drylo]

Sumlin > Doeren
Strong > Doeren
Taggart > Doeren
Martin ? Doeren

Why not interview a black candidate?

Stop with that stuff. Seriously. None of those guys are taking this job except maybe Tee.

Also, personally not real excited about Strong whining about not getting the Florida job years ago because he was married to a white woman. Ugh.

 

[jjay2518]

Lol at the real fan card. So dumb.

 

[drylo]

You are either Haslam or one of Haslams paid cronies.

Fake news.

 

[volfanCLT]

He’s been over .500 for out of five years.

He’s 15-25 in conference play. 33-30 overall.

Stop

 

[RSATURDAY]

Fake news.

Nah

 

[Playdo]

The fatal flaw with all the suckers we're talking about hiring is they're so *boring.*

I don't know this Dorean guy at all, but I can promise you that if he's hired, he will never say one interesting the entire time he's the coach. Toughness, day by day, left it on the field, etc etc who cares why are you talking

The reason you hire a coach like Les Miles or Mike Leach or even Kiffin at this point, is because of how they build a national profile for your program. The media likes them, they say silly funny things, and your college gets a lot of national attention. These coaches also fend to win a lot, which helps.

And they're not worried about what you're saying on twitter. I can't believe how stupid they think we are.

Cry for me

 

[delfonic]

You aren't a real fan unless you buy fuel and perform light grocery shopping at Pilot Travel Centers™.

 

[InVOLuntary]

If you can't support the coach and players by watching or attending games then you aren't a real fan.

If you keep attending games and spending money on it then you're part of the problem. You're an enabler. You deserve what you get.

It blows my mind how you are supposedly such an independent thinker yet you are nothing but a Haslam sheep.

 

[RSATURDAY]

Lol thank you for this.
