Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVIII (New Coach Edition)

[Tennessee Golfer]

Tee, Kiffin, or Venables are the only ones that can keep me engaged. Could they suck? Sure but let’s be honest...

 

[nicksjuzunk]

blackburn would have extended butch?

[InVOLuntary]

It's incomprehensible that Les Miles hasn't already been walked to the podium.

 

[DD4ME]

Meanwhile, somewhere out there, Les Miles is eating his morning sod and waiting for a phone call...

This.

I mean why would we want a NC coach here?

 

[Jimmy Football]

Would excite me like a stale Ritz cracker, but we’ve come to this, so...

I keep forgetting that Leach is out there, and we should call him first. But at this point, we could do SO much worse than a national championship coach with strong recruiting ties in the south.

I wouldn’t mind. Every offense and QB he touches turns into a passing powerhouse which would really help Tennessee in recruiting the best QBs in the land (in hopes of being the next Peyton Manning).

Give him mega money for a DC/staff and I’m in...

 

[omghulkhands]

Here, I'll go ahead and provide cliff notes for the previous 12 hours, the next 12 hours, and the remainder of the time football is legal:

Everything is awful and will continue to stay awful.

I liked this post. This is what has become of me...

 

[Jimmy Football]

I can’t continue to go through every page fellas. This is taking more than 3 hours every single day.

Tomorrow morning when I request, would someone kindly provide cliff notes for the previous 12 hours?

Thanks

Prepare to receive several gifs of a burning waste receptacle every 12 hrs or so.

 

[MetalVolunteer]

If they march Steele out there, my donations will cease.

He has a very good young DC already.

I've been one of the Leach supporters here. unfortunately for me, it's not because of football. Dude has hot takes that I need to see in orange. Press conference would be incredible.

 

[Ron Swanson]

A couple more guys say no and VQ mods might end up being right with their Bobo prediction from weeks ago.

 

[omghulkhands]

I can see this spiraling to the point where we just end up with Hoke or we ask Phil to do it and he publicly declines or some other craziness. Nothing would shock me now.

Any hint at Leach being looked at?

 

[volfanCLT]

Agreed. Especially if it’s true he’s reached out with interest to UT.

 

[omghulkhands]

Does he drown puppies or something? Jeez. Wonder why not even a sniff

 

[GoBigOrange86]

What we need right now is someone with a 9-36 overall head coaching record to really stabilize things.

 

[RikidyBones]

Tee, Kiffin, or Venables are the only ones that can keep me engaged. Could they suck? Sure but let’s be honest...

Add Leach or Miles and that's my list.

Here's why:

at this point we need to either take a risk on the next great coach in cfb(the three you named) or stabilize (two I named).

I'm leaning toward stabilizing. Next great coach keeps the current people in charge. Bad long term plan as they are obviously not fit to run an athletic program.

Stabilizing gives us some time to remove them. Removing them needs to happen for the long term success and title contention program that UT used to be. jmo.

I find it hard to believe that we are talking directly to Steele this week with SEC championship game coming up Saturday. Same with Tee and his game. Only coaches we could really talk with are coaches who have finished the season.

The Schiano fiasco has really hurt the search. Without it we could be talking to several sitting coaches but I think many will be gun shy. Many D1 coaches are gun shy of SEC now because of what many consider unreasonable expectations in recruiting. Many are unwilling to constantly live in the gray.

If Tee was even an option there is no way it would be this week.

It'll be stable alright.

[BigZiti09]

Leach would be fired here in 4 years.

I’ve been on the Leach ship for a while, but their not going to offer him. Makes too much sense.
