Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVII

[buffaloblue]

Bring me Lane Kiffin and let’s freaking ride!

He would kill to coach here again.

 

[BruinVol]

So nothing. He's a great defensive coordinator when he has an overwhelming talent advantage.

Same could be said about Kirby. From what I can tell Pruitt is considered a better recruiter than Kirby was as an assistant and we know how that translated.

With a top-5 head coach.

 

[DD4ME]

Petersen buyout 1.5 million

John Effing Currie 5.4 million

**** Haslem. **** me. **** us all.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

He's the same person.

#itsjustajoke..it goes for any candidate now. #heaintf'knschiano 😁

 

[MSCE09]

SC about to blow us up I think.

 

[drylo]

It isn't if it's the norm. That's why I want to know what other SEC ADs have in their contracts.

It is stupid even if it is the norm. Typically I’d be on your side on this, but this is asinine. So dumb I can’t even believe it’s real.

 

[McGeesPub]

They are completely different people and have completely different assets. Kirby's are better suited to being a successful HC.

But I'm sure you think Josh Dobbs is a similar quarterback to Byron Leftwich.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

UT doesn't just need a coach here guys. We need a complete rebranding. We need a guy that unites the fanbase through likely bad seasons to come. He also needs to be sellable as a favorable media figure.
There aren't many of those guys laying around in a sport where guys like Schiano are heralded as high charachter guys.

Tee is about it for this program right now.

Closest likely comparison in a worst case scenario for Tee is Derek Mason.

Say what you want about Derek Mason but Media and players like the guy and he has beat our ass. He has struggled like hell and is learning on the job, but we know Tee can recruit better and should have a better staff.

Tee is exactly what this program needs. Somebody lock Currie and Haslam in his office, throw away the key, and go make this hire.

Let me know how that works when we go 7-5 his first two seasons and all his recruits are arrested. Does no one rember this roster when Dooley showed up or the fact USC wouldn't let his ass on a bus? Or his deflated ball scandal?

Yea it's dumb but if it's the norm you can't blame Tennessee you blame the system.

Just curios what the system is

For real. Stop with the Kiffin nonsense. Dumber than Currie’s buyout. Plenty of dumb to go around lately.

I have no idea what their assets are in that area.

It ain't gonna happen bass. Too many are wanting it to happen, don't you know the drill, we are Worst Case Scenario University now.

If you ain't cheating you ain't trying. I don't even care anymore were already a joke

I am tired of reading this doom and gloom nonsense. All we need to do is win a few games and no one will remember this. I watched a puff piece on penn state a few weeks ago and no one remembers the bama coaching debacle presaban

 

[SpringBokVol]

SC about to blow us up I think.

Yup. And Van Pelt is by far my fav.

This might hurt.

 

[delfonic]

USC wouldn't let his ass on a bus?

To be fair, it's not sanitary to put a donkey on a regular charter bus. You need some sort of slatted floor system or the bus needs to be pulling a livestock trailer.

 

[LA Vol]

That ain't Kiffin tho.

No. We have backstory with Kiffin. But at this point, I'd consider Petrino. He wouldn't shy away from the job, we could get a good deal and he'd be intensely motivated to win in the SEC. Bring in a GM to oversee compliance, add a stringent moral turpitude clause to his contract and we've mitigated risk.

I know. They will never listen to us and hire who we want. We better get ready for another Schiano hire. Who is the worst coach in college football right now? That's probably who Haslam is targeting

Sold

 

[BigTimeVol95]

The only thing I've learned is if we all want it, it will 100% not happen

+1 ... Hey let's as a fanbase rage so hard they are forced to kibosh the hiring of an ass clown only to turn around and hire ... an ass clown
