Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVII

[chavisut]

Only Tennessee would handle the most important hire at the university like a 4AM last call desperation hookup.

Tennessee- hey, u up?

Morris- new phone, who dis?

USC radio analyst: ‘Tee Martin could be a game-changer for Tennessee’

 

[drvenner]

I hope so, I haven't had my coffee so i apologize for getting triggered if that's the case.

But even then, let's end that. It cringes me to see those words misspelled.

Well, in that case, do you think that we have too many Pre-madonnas on the team and do you think that JG will ever improve his pocket presents.

TIA

I am just messing with you. These terms are a long-running joke on this site. Moran is one of them also.

You don't hitch your wagon to a coach for 8-10 years to get one recruit.

And Im a Tee fan.

 

[NMVol]

Yep fire him and appoint Fulmer as AD. No-one wants to come coach here. Fulmer is a Vol treasure and can fix relationships as Well as do what's best for UT. He loves the vols and everyone loves him.

See that's the point. Not happening with the current decision-makers who have this power.

We won't be paying Currie $6mil to go away...he (aka Haslam) will be hiring the next coach 100%

 

[Nashvegas31]

Chad Morris Head Coach
Marion Hobby Defensive Coordinator
Dan Brooks DL Coach

Good chance he could pull Trevor L imo. Oh hey Trevor I see you like my offense. How about come here and be my starter day 1.

USC pushing Tee hard. Are they trying to get rid of him?

 

[Ron Swanson]

It didn't get to a numbers point.

What about Morris, Brohm or any other candidate?

 

[volssam]

I guess for Currie and the haslams, they need us to get turned down by everybody before they do the obvious and logical thing and just bring in Tee.

I agree on one recruit but Tee is actually a great recruiter, dont know if he can coach or not.

 

[RockyTopInBham]

Currie: “Hi, 7 million”
Venables: “K”

Sadly, Currie didn't even outbid FL for Mullen, who gave him 6 million a year. Considering we're paying Butch and now Schiano to not coach here, it's likely to be a bargain bin hire. I'm preparing myself for Bobo or Satterfield. Don't think many coaches want to work for an incompetent AD at this point.

 

[amazingGRACE]

Has Hubbs said if we've even reached out to Tee yet?

I remember Austin said as of lastnight at seven or whenever it was that we still hadn't

 

[highspeed]

Yet no one else is calling him for a job.

Perfect. No one else wants the one we have to offer.

 

[MetalVolunteer]

What about Morris, Brohm or any other candidate?

Just know a coach there and he called me this morning and said that was the extent of the call. Venables politely declined.

Said Venables has received phone calls from at least 3 other programs

 

[NMVol]

To truly come home Tee would need to be in a supportive environment. Is that how our athletic department is presenting now?

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Yep. People like AV need to get that narrative going on the message boards. Charlie Anderson, Ergen, Thorton, et al need to get the stories out in the press.

Shine somd light on it, and see if TN residents and alums like that Haslam is controlling every dollar that goes through the University.

Everyone laughs, but I honestly think this is what beaver is doing...trying to get the narrative on haslam out to the public via social media.

 

[omghulkhands]

Who remembers “Butch gets it”?

Ah, good times

Swain is clearly doing what he can to help a personal friend. I admire the hustle.

 

[bignewt]

You were here during his tenure at Baylor? :huh:

Edit: Oh? As DC? My bad.

long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Waco. :crazy:

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Who would want to come work for these *******s? Srsly?

Tee Martin. Nobody liked Currie before Sunday apparently. We are screwed with Haslam and him at the helm. Currie was a terrible hire. But Tee would come. We should hire Tee right now

 

[drylo]

He makes more fired than he does working. His contract is for $900k with incentives to make up to $1.2m. Or he can get fired and be guaranteed $1.2m.

It’s sheer incompetence.

I am flabbergasted that we guaranteed Currie $6m.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Perfect. No one else wants the one we have to offer.

Plenty of very good coaches wanted/want this job. Unfortunately our Admin doesn't contact those people.
