Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLIX

[JacketVol]

Preach!! The whole point of all this was to get a great coach, not get Fulmer a new office.

Dang it! With Currie and Haslam's in charge you were going to get Schiano. Get a freaking grip people. The dang king is laying in his own blood but may still have a pulse. Get behind the guy that gives you a chance to not be screwed forever.

Who we getiin'?

All the coaches

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

what a time to be alive.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I don't think this will be as clandestine as Currie made it.

On a side note, I think Currie was a victim in all this. I think he was getting pulled in different directions. I think he finally said eff it, and went to hire a coach.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Well, I don't think we will hire Steele - his only HC experience was 1999 - 2002 with Baylor.

9-36 record.

Looks that way now.

 

[Nationdom]

I’m going Sumlin

I think Fulmer's short list is

Petersen
Stoops
Shaw
Frost

And he thinks every damn one is a real possibility

Let's see what names emerge. I think it's gonna be a totally different pool of candidates.

Sexton was blackballing us I'm afraid.

Hank mentioned a name I'm interested in learning more about. Bryan Harsin. What's the story on that guy?

 

[Kingston Vol]

It sounded like Bev was about to talk about why Currie was fired - like it was in her prepared statement - and stopped midway through the first sentence.

18000 online - a new record

 

[New-Vols-Fan]

There is no other person in the world other than Phil Fulmer that I would want right now to be entrusted with the future of Tennessee football.

 

[Ron Swanson]

 

[Hammer85]

Thats great.


New thread up guys

She's running a little slow, but not too bad.

 

[engineerVOL]

Phi Fulmer"

"It's amazing what can be accomplished when no one cares who gets the credit"

shots at the Haslams???

I think that's just a saying

 

[TNDCVol]

So much hope in my heart right now.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Anyone else catch Phil’s comments about him not starting with HC experience and recruiting being the life blood of a program?

I believe that was a reference to one Mr. Tee Martin.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

My wife starts working there Monday lol

 

[volssam]

I really hope that right guy for this time and the tidbit about not a head coach when I became a head coach wasn't a lead up to the Steele trot out.


I know he's been a HC before (and was terrible to boot). But I can't remember Phil's exact wording. If he said he had never been a HC when he became one. Or if he just said he wasn't a sitting HC when he became one.


Please. Not. Steele.

Bring the checkbook.


I have faith he can do it. His voice gives me hope. He is Tennessee

 

[Orange Studs]

Well now we start all over again and I bet this time we want hear a thing until CF wants it to be known who he has hire.

That's not a name I've heard bandied about. I wonder if they'll visit with any of the previous candidates, Brohm, Leach?

 

[Aesius]

I love the mental image of our coaching staff either in the football complex or on the road recruiting while all this is happening.

Also, did Butch Jones stream the presser? Does he still live in Knoxville?
