Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVI

I mean hes 2-2 vs georgia and florida at MSU. I doubt he gets better players and facilities and forgets how to beat them all of a sudden. He also rocked LSU and A&M this year. Whens the last time UT beat a west team, let alone whipped they azz? Guy can coach, anyone who thinks he cant is unrealistic and ignorant. Is he the top option in the nation? No. But even with florida being a better job than us they likely arent getting their top two choices in Kelly or Frost either. It is what it is.

Solid post man. Hope all is well with you and your family.

Here's more from Babyvol:

There’s no presser scheduled for tomorrow. Camera crews for the coach’s show have been told to keep everything on site in anticipation of an early week press conference. The picture guy still says he’s invited to an event tomorrow at Neyland. Just guessing they could be doing pictures and meet and greet with high level boosters. I’m not claiming I have all the info, just want to pass along what I hear.

I know some of you think he's a troll. If you don't want me to bring it over I can definitely keep it for personal consumption.

Fwiw Cole Cubelic is still acting like Gruden to UT is a possibility

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

And when it's over, we are going to be left with the smell of a Mullen fart.

I’ve had worse farts

All of this fits with what people said about Currie. Big ego, arrogant, does things his own way.

Of course, there are practical reasons to conduct a coaching search in complete secrecy. But I think he's doing it A) because he can and B) to prove a point. He wants to look like the smartest guy in the room, especially compared to other ADs who seem to bungle searches with shocking regularity. But that only works if the hire is epic.

Keep bringing it. Ignore the info haters.

Good point. As good as he was, Fulmer didn't continuously build the program. It started the slide, and with other programs hiring better coaches, we got passed.

True. Built til he stopped. Start coasting and you go backwards. Now we have people advocating starting a tenure with that approach.

 

[MTPVOL]

It’s all one big misinformation campaign

Certainly seems that way. But why is that necessary? Everyone knew UCLA wanted Chip and they went out and got their guy. Certainly is more entertaining this way but I wish we could operate with a little more simplicity and clarity sometimes.

Sounds like we'll know soon.

 

[bcartervol98]

It's not nearly as exciting though.

At my age and level of free time I will take open discussion over exciting chaos. I will always look at the FF but post a ton less than I used to.

:lol: the UK band during halftime against Louisville...

Shot at Louisville getting busted cheating?

 

[Catbone]

Getting nervous. I have no idea what to expect.

Go to his twitter. I would but it's a continuation of his tweets from almost a month ago. He was asked if kelly to UF or Gruden to UF is more likely. He said Gruden and a bunch of people laughed. Today he went back a responded to a couple

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I know you think this "I guess you think MSU is a better program than UT" is an effective point, but it just shows a lack of critical thinking and understanding of nuance. JMO.

I gave up arguing with that idiot last night. I'm dumb for even bothering.

LWS in Petersen thread:

here is how crazy things are:

30 minutes ago had a former Vol tell me it was Mullen.

I checked with a couple sources and JC and Mullen still haven't met according to them..

the next 48 hours will be very wild, bank on it

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

By the time this is all over, we're going to be so happy to have a coach that we're going to jump up and down irrespective of who it actually is.

I will not.
