If he was perceived as working his tail off for this hire, he'd get more slack if it ends up being someone who isn't a big name.

There's no "slack". Where you been? :lol:

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Fr?

No idea

 

[rocktopper16]

Great to hear that you are home!

Feels like I'm trying to walk for the first time.


Thanks for the prayers!

Yes, but does it help us win?

I remember saying he couldn’t recruit. He hasn’t recruited at an elite level so... not sure what you’re after here. Dang good coach tho

Does anyone know who the guy is sitting 2 rows up behind the official review? Looks like Currie?? Can some check his moles

Not precisely what I said, but a fair interpretation. Should have clarified that it doesn't recruit itself to the extent that we need it to. In a subsequent post, I said it provided a floor, but we need much, much, much more than a top 25 floor.

Fair enough.

Now the next part I'm about to bring up does require a little translation and "Starkville" talk. The main reason I would have Mullen directly behind Gruden, Kelly, Petersen, and Patterson, is because his track record provides nearly factual evidence that he would bring consistently great QB play to the table. That is the X factor with him IMO. Now for the translation part, his on field success and history of sending players to the league has him recruiting probably 15-20 spots higher than Mississippi State's floor. If that translates to UT (and it is reasonable to think it would), he would firmly have us finishing in the top 10-15 in recruiting. Now that's not on par with UGA or Bama, but factoring in the QB play could offset that a bit. That's my thing anyway, but that admittedly involves some translation and conjecture.

Next Vol basketball player everybody wants to play TE?

 

[Vol8188]

We've done a great job inside against their big men despite the size we are giving up. And then Williams is just too quick for these 7 footers

I want you to admit that you're wrong a lot more than the national average and at an even higher rate when you're emotional...then apologize! :aggressive:
