Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVII

[ionaVOL]

From that list I'm going to guess one of Morris, Steele and Norvell are the only realistic options. My money would be on Morris or Steele. Gun to my head I'm going with Morris.

 

[Ron Swanson]

I have a second source telling me that Currie didn't interview Gundy yesterday and I have someone else telling me that Currie didn't interview anyone yesterday despite not being in town.

smh

 

[snowvols]

Not a fan of Chad Morris.

I guess that means it will def be Chad Morris.

I looked up June Jones record before Morris came. It was actually fine.

Jones tanked it at the end. They were 1-11 and out scored by well over 300 points. Morris is going to be the hot name next year, they return almost everyone and will probably win 10 games.

 

[InVOLuntary]

What is owed to Schiano is dependent on Currie's internally authorized ability to execute binding documents on behalf of UT. I doubt he has been given the sole authority to put UT on the line for 8 figure contracts. If he has, the state needs to have a formal investigation.

The lawsuit would be for gross negligence and personal damages to his occupation and career. He may get a settlement for that. This was an ugly event played out on a national stage by a bunch of incompetent goobers.

How could he sue Tennessee for social media by individuals?

 

[Vols4us]

UT didn't release that info and furthermore the info that was being harped on didn't come from an entity of any sort regarding UT. He can sue the guy that testified that story.


I just don't see the grounds Schiano has in a suit.

Not saying he would win - that they would settle to make it go away since the national media will be following it.

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

I'm all in on Les Miles. Give him a super star staff. Pay him 4 Mil and give hime $6-$8 Mil for staff. Go steal some great coaches. Go get Sam Pittman, Go get some of those Oregon coaches that want to get back east, Cristobal. It can be fixed. But it will cost some money. I think the money will pale in comparison to what it will cost if we screw this hire up.

But will Haslam allow it? He only wants coaches he can control.

 

[BruinVol]

Did gundy decline interest in Florida?

If so that might mean this is real and not him playing us for $

Everyone is just chasing rumors. We won't know anything till it leaks, if it does this time, right before it is announced.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Mike Gundy is about to turn down us in a public manner for his 3rd raise/extension that he’s gotten from UT. WTF.

 

[InVOLuntary]

well if it's anything like most contracts, an incomplete contract is not one. UT should be fine here and dare Schiano to sue. He will lose if that's the case.

I don't think he'll want all that Penn State stuff brought back up.

 

[bignewt]

-Hubbs

smh

Ok so what the heck is he doing? I would think UT would maybe be keeping tabs on the guy right about now...

 

[Vols4us]

How could he sue Tennessee for social media by individuals?

The press release was for that purpose legally. See above. IMO there may be a quiet settlement that makes it all go away.

 

[Playdo]

Maybe Gundy will help us pay for renovations after we get him a second big raise.

 

[theutvolunteers]

maybe he flew to dallas and called him so he wouldn't incur roaming fees.

😂😂😂

 

[Jimmy Football]

Not saying he would win - that they would settle to make it go away since the national media will be following it.

I don't think so. That sounds to me like summary judgment for failure to state a claim.

Need to check the Bahamas. That’s the best place to prepare for a coaching search.

Seriously F this entire AD.... F it.

my name is John Currie and I'm a MORAN.. :crazy:

 

[snowvols]

He probably wasn't even contacted. Thast info was floated out to Hyams by Gundys agent to help him out....again.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Dreaming again? Would be great, but this is Jimmy Haslam's world.

I feel the Haslam grip slipping ever so slightly.

 

[BruinVol]

Boy Hubbs vs Jimmy

I trust them both. Who the hell knows what to believe

 

[Playdo]

Need to check the Bahamas. That’s the best place to prepare for a coaching search.

Ziti, was it you who first called him "Bahama John"? I liked that. We should all call him Bahama John.

 

[Jimmy Football]

He probably wasn't even contacted. Thast info was floated out to Hyams by Gundys agent to help him out....again.

Almost certainly so.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

I'm good with Tee, Brohm, Steele, Venables and maybe Pruitt. Steele is particularly intriguing to me. Tennessee man, great recruiter and a great defensive football coach. I'm to the point now to where I really believe we need Tennessee blood back in here.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

-Hubbs

smh

We have the worst AD in America

 

[bignewt]

just when you think it cant get any worse...

I wish currie would just release a statement that the search is regrouping and moving forward on its own timetable. Then we can get to Dec 20th and not have a coach and he will get fired as he said he would if he didnt have it done by then.
