Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLV

[franklinpence]

Can someone remind me how to fix the tweet issue? Happening to me now.

Mullen wants the job badly, supposedly.

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

Fleck and Minnesota have agreed to a contract extension through 2023.

Thank the lord.

Mullen or Jimmy?

 

[JCP201]

Mullen wants the job badly, supposedly.

I thought he was all about Texas Am?

Make one hundred percent sure that Gruden, Peterson, Patterson and Campbell or Frost don't want it.

And would Currie want him? Hasn't he had some shady dealings?

Tell him to kick rocks... unless we miss on 6 coaches first. Then he is welcome

praise moses.

The Peterson stuff kinda started with LWS a couple of weeks ago. I was shocked to see him post on a coach prediction thread “Petersen 12/4”. He probably was kind of guessing but he did say later in the thread that he had heard he was not interested. Long shot but who knows.

I hope he doesn't get it. I can't stand 3-4 years of Mullenites vs Mehlans.

 

[BJHSVol]

I agree, but it still gives me pause. I mean IF he really is the next great one (which I strongly suspect) Then you get a legend, a guy who gets roads named after him, and statues erected. But if he isn't, then we have to watch the UT program sink into the abyss...it is a tough call and I can see why a lot of guy want to go the safe "Meh" route...I just don't see the safe route having a much better ending than the riskier one at this point, and the riskier one could be The ONE.

I get what you're saying about the risk/reward potential of some of these candidates, but I keep on going back to how close freaking Butch Jones came to getting to Atlanta so it makes me think some of these "meh" coaches might have a better chance of success that a lot on here give them credit.

If our fall back is Dan Mullen, I like our chances of hiring a capable coach.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Gold.

“9 days, i wish you would have come to me sooner. It’s too late to save you now.” 😂

Can we just throw the bank at Mike Leach? He will give us a pretty good football team and comedic gold press conferences lol.

Thought he was Texas AM bound? Lol.

“Sorry, Dan, I’m going to have to call you back. I’ve got Chris Petersen on the other line.”

- John Currie

 

[Kingston Vol]

I love Mike Leach and would very much appreciate him being our coach.

However, there's no way Currie does it.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Fleck and Minnesota have agreed to a contract extension through 2023.

Thank the lord.

Prayers do come true!

Why would they give him an extension? They were 9-4 last year and now are sitting at 5-6.

 

[RVA Vol]

Sorry to report PJ Fleck signed an extension so we won't be hiring him.

Missed a good one there

 

[RVA Vol]

My wife makes shirts. We can have some made? Grudenites and put Volnation on them too? Maybe a couple of special OG ones for Boro and others? I could probably get them for like $10 shipped to everyone depending on what we decide and want on them.

Surprised there isn't a groundswell in Florida for Mike Gundy.

"Finally man a coach that looks like us!"

" Business up , party in the back . That's the way I live my life and I expect the next Gator coach to exemplify that. I know that is a big word I heard Darrell Waltrip say it at the Daytona 500. Looked it up."

"That's the kinda dude that shows up with a case of Natty Lite and don't mooch."

Have you seen Mike Norvell’s college football pic? Looks like half of that fanbase. Instead of his uniform imagine him in a gators jersey and some jorts and some solid white Nike shoes.

 

[LaagerVol]

Paying a coach that hasn't coached in college for 30 years and NFL for 10 years 10 mil a year is stupid. Knowing that the first chance he has to bolt to the NFL he will.

I don’t think we are getting him anyway, and if we did it may not be the best move for the university, but saying he will bolt for the NFL as the reasoning for it being a bad move is a ridiculous, lazy argument.

He has now, and has had in the past, plenty of opportunities to coach in the NFL.

Edit* being almost a day behind I obviously got Swansoned on this no less than a half dozen times.

Lol. Yep you're right two man race.

Plus if you are paying him that kind of money, his buyout to leave will be steep. Anyone that wants him will have to pay us for him. Which could help us land the next guy in that scenario

 

[volinbama256]

Wouldn't you think if someone confirmed we have reached out to Peterson, then we have moved on from Gruden?

 

[Ron Swanson]

Too late now anyway. Currie already hired the new coach.

 

[volfanCLT]

Wouldn't you think if someone confirmed we have reached out to Peterson, then we have moved on from Gruden?

Nope.

Would be negligent of an AD to be waiting on an answer from a guy and not reach out/ gauge interest from other parties.

Standard operating procedure.

 

[VOLout8]

Can’t confirm information when they won’t leak it.

It is really interesting that Gruden still hasn’t said no.
