Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLV

[RiseToTheTop]

ESPN trots out a random former Purdue player to do this game lol

 

[Dooby15]

Bass: Hey Beaver, is Gruden coming?

Another poster responds: Beaver would never respond to a question like that.

Bass: Then he’s a troll.

Yes, theoretically, they could do it in an hour. Our amateur eyes can't appreciate how perfect professionals are at that stuff though. Given enough money, of course they'd do their best, but it's pretty uncommon in the agency world to produce a product that isn't absolutely perfect, because your competitors can use it against you when bidding for future work.

I totally get that pros would normally be super thorough. My only point is that if Currie told our graphics guys to crank some stuff out quick for a presser that it would be feasible.

Normally you are right, but UT graphics are in house so you don’t have to worry about the competition part. The main graphics they would need for the announcement can easily be done in a day, the rest like large graphics, posters, etc can be put on the back burner and take their time on those.

Speaking from firsthand experience, depending on how big the team is, NDA's will keep something from leaking. People don't like being sued/going to jail.

Where NDA's become a problem is something huge, like a film. Somebody somewhere is gonna leak stuff and it's very hard to trace.

 

[DD4ME]

Do you guys really think it's impressive that someone predicted we'd hire a coach the week after the season ends?

Don't judge me.

 

[LaagerVol]

The whole “this is a better job that that” (TN vs UF) is irrelevant. It’s all about who your coach is. Was Bama a better job than us in 2000? Hell no. Was Penn State a great job 5 years ago when all the Sandusky stuff dropped no. One hire changes everything for better or worse

This is very true.

Ya, but it wouldn't look ultra perfect like hiring a mega-name candidate deserves. Those graphics will be seen by millions around the world, you don't do a rush job in something like that.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Won’t be hate. Just disappointment. I’m sure I’ll get over until we lose to ETSU

Also our gfx department could be given a group of mock ups to do with only one being the real deal. I could see that coming down Sunday with the announcement Monday or Tuesday.

 

[JCP201]

Rick Barnes made halftime adjustments?

 

[LaagerVol]

That's fine. But these guys are looking at which situation is more conducive to immediate success because all of these programs are tired of losing and will have very little patience. I think Tennessee and Florida are similar in this regard but Florida has the better recruiting base. I think UCLA and A&M clearly give a coach the better chance to succeed immediately over Tennessee.

UCLA and aTm do NOT clearly give a coach the better chance for immediate success. That’s nonsense.

That definitely sounds like something Currie would do.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Me too. In the back of my mind I'll think he'll be a good coach, and that we'll be ok, but it will be meh. Anybody below that is going to make me feel really, really uncomfortable.

Yeah that’s where I am

 

[seaofORANGE22]

Vols

 

[volatil]

Purdue is like

 

[jave36]

Man if Barnes pulls off the upset, that's huge. We saw this a lot last year though, we closed horribly in every big game

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Lettuce go!

 

[Catbone]

Impressed so far! Completely outsized but we are out working them! These commentators are making excuses for PURDUE!!! F em!

*knock on wood*

[Kingston Vol]

Sure they could. Vol twitter spits out pretty good graphics in a few minutes. They could easily make some good graphics of Gruden quickly.

Yeah, I'm sure the managers in that department get a call about two hours before the announcement to come up with a couple things.

Well Robbie Hummel played at Purdue for 5 years.

 

[DD4ME]

Few more days folks

Yeah, but when you work in an AD and the head honcho says, “hey, I need you to get some stuff ready ASAP” it’s not like you say “sorry I can’t rush this job”

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

TKjr officially seeking waiver to come back next year.

Boom! I think that speaks to this hire being great.
