Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVII

Its going to be even more embarassing after he turns us down now. Offering to make him the 3rd highest paid and he wouldn't take it is going to look horrible.

Well, at minimum, we did what people were clamoring for in terms of publicizing an $8m+ offer.

 

[chavisut]

If Gundy says no, Will Healy.

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

Chip Kelly at 4.5 million per.

Chip, "now hold up fellas in Tennessee(8.4 for Gundy), lets chat a bit".

 

[MetalVolunteer]

Walk off, Game 7 of World Series Grand Slam.

If Gundy is named coach, first round of SHOTS are on me!!!

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Gundy>>>>>>Mullen

 

[HankHill]

If we're going to pay $8M, is Gundy really the best guy to offer? That's game-changing money.

We don’t have a choice now. If we’re wanting established successful coach.

Jimmy trying to buy his way out of this mess he created Sunday. His image here is in the gutter. This will buy him some favor and take the heat off Currie.

I've been saying since Sunday that the only way out of this mess is to spend a ridiculous amount of money. That appears to be the plan.

My guess is that they called a ton of coaches yesterday and offered to double their salary. Gundy might have been one of or the only one to say he would be interested.

We're not. That's petersen money.

We need to get it out more how shatty Haslam did all those trucking companies with illegal fraud rebate schemes and trash his image.. can’t believe he didn’t know about an illegal 92 mil per year income stream

 

[AAVFL]

It's not your money.

Pay the man what it takes.

Its not our decision either.

I would rather have a home run hire to start with rather than this 3 ring circus.

 

[snowvols]

If it does happen to be Gundy I am growing a mullet, or at least I will have my boys do it.

 

[BigZiti09]

Uh that’s what I’m talking about, don’t be a prick just be contrarian, skip over my posts man

I’m agreeing with you home slice.

He is probably the only guy that will listen. And overpaying is,the only way TN will get a good coach

He knew. It's coming to light. You're right, everyone needs to know.

 

[appyvol]

Currie about to redeem himself to me. Get it done John!!

 

[StoVol]

Have the boys do it

 

[StoVol]

My apologies sir, I am pissed right now

 

[drvenner]

Was referring to some stuff I've heard this morning, but that all changes if Gundy is at the Podium

Ah. I would appreciate hearing what that was at some point if you can elaborate further.

 

[BruinVol]

Not a fan at all of gundy. 45-42 games don't work in the SEC but under the circumstances you have to be excited about this.

 

[BigZiti09]

My apologies sir, I am pissed right now

We all are man. It’s all good.

 

[Bigworm87]

I'm no insider on the coaching front by any means. However, my brother was a GA under Gundy for 2 years. Dez Bryants sophomore and junior seasons.

I visited a couple of times and will tell you that of Gundy can do what he's done in Stillwater, then he could absolutely do it here. Stillwater is a cool small town about an hour outside of OKC. Not a whole lot there at all. If he can get guys there and have success, then I believe with the resources here he would be a home run hire.

Only met him once on my visit, but between my interaction and my brothers time there, not a bad word was mentioned of him.

Mind you, because he's been so loyal to OK state, t Boone has paid him like a mid level coach. There's tension there.

* people saying things about giving up points. When you run the offense he does, you're going to give up a few points because the defense is out there more often. Not sure if he would bring his guy or not, but with sec talent, we could have a pretty solid D.

 

[drvenner]

As soon as I start believing thus will happen will be when it ends.

No chance we hire this guy. He’s gonna get a raise at OSU.

Nah. We'll get him. And then Gruden will go coach at Oklahoma State.
