Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLV

[volatil]

What's pathetic is that you are too obtuse to understand that we believe Mullen is so damn blah that recruiting is not going to skyrocket just because he moves to UT.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Anti-Mullens keep saying how we deserve a top coach and how we're still a top 10/5 program/job. Yet keep comparing our program to Msu. It's one or the other, you can't have it both ways and argue both sides to fit your narrative

Who in the hell is comparing UT to MSU?

 

[DD4ME]

If we do hire Mullen whatever we do leave Grantham in starkville

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Just curious, do you know how many times Mullen has had a winning conference record in 9 years?

More than James Franklin.

ETA: Never mind. Same number.

By saying that you're saying Msu is Similar to Tennessee. NOBODY wants to go to Msu. How is that so hard to understand. You're saying Msu has the same appeal as Tennessee

Just curious, do you know how many times Mullen has had a winning conference record in 9 years?

Once.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

What facts are those? That he's done well at Mississippi State? No one has ever contested that.

The fact that that success means he's a fit at Tennessee, and that success will translate at an incremental rate here? Can you provide a source for this fact?

This this this this!

Once. The last time Msu did it before him was 99'

 

[volfanCLT]

It's all opinions. But if CBJ can leverage UT's resources to produce Top 15 recruiting classes Mullen can too. If CBJ can win 9 games 2 years in a row then Mullen can get to 10-11.

Easily.

More than James Franklin.

ETA: Never mind. Same number.

Yep, same and Franklin just had 3 years. Still, Franklin is 3-9 against ranked teams at PSU.

 

[Dooby15]

It would be so Tennessee to hire a coach that just got trampled by his instate rival.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Dan Mullen?

Low expectation having mfers smh

 

[volfanCLT]

fyp

 

[seaofORANGE22]

The fact that State is losing like this actually makes me think it increases our chances of hiring Mullen if we really want him.

If we do, I hope some of y'all get on board and at least give it a chance. I get the concerns. But he would win a lot of games here for sure. Could he win the big ones? That's the question. Who knows

 

[Blake25p]

When Tennessee wins the recruits will come, not that way at Miss St.

Why isn’t that? He has the 9th ranked defense in the country this year

 

[jordan4vols]

Ok. Let’s hope it’s Frost. Would be hard to sell this fan base on Mullen after this game for sure.

 

[Smokey123]

Who in the hell is comparing UT to MSU?

When somebody says "Mullen is awful recruiter at msu he won't be any different at Tennessee" you are comparing the programs. You're saying Msu has the same appeal as Tennessee.

Umm are you watching?

 

[Catbone]

Dan Mullen?

Low expectation having mfers smh

I mean... that's what we thought when we hired Butch Jones, yet you got behind him. It'll happen again if we get Mullen.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I'm not saying it's the right place. I'm saying it's where we are *now.*

I agree with you that Tennessee deserves better -- SO much better. But the fans aren't the ones in charge. The incompetent administration is. That's why we aren't even mediocre.

I will not accept what I believe is a safe mediocre hire. It isn't going to change anything, but I am not going to get on board with it just because I'm a loyal Vol and I have too just because I'm "supposed to"..That is total B.S. and I'm calling it for what it is imo, until proved otherwise. I have no problem eating crow.

 

[volatil]

Ok. Let’s hope it’s Frost. Would be hard to sell this fan base on Mullen after this game for sure.

Let’s hope it’s a home run.

Oh you’re a 1 game reactionary. Noted.

Man don't even try, you're going to just bang your head against a brick wall. Don't make the mistake of thinking logic will matter.
