Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVIII (New Coach Edition)

[ATC_VOL]

At this point let’s just appoint some player/coaches. My vote is for Trey Smith.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

hell Kevin Steele may not even want any part of this either. At 60 yrs old i wouldnt wanna come walking into this shi*t show but thats just me. Atleast i hope he wouldnt want to.

 

[jjay2518]

Guys, I am not sure how much longer I can make my boss think I am doing actual work here.

Too real. Jobs across the country are depending on this wrapping up soon.

 

[LA Vol]

its hard to get behind a kevin steele hire im sorry.

And yes it feels inevitable. It always ends badly.

I'm not getting behind a Kevin Steele hire. I'm not getting behind any desperation hire. Not anymore. This time, I'll simply walk away and pull every penny.

 

[Vol4ever]

If they went after Cut then logic says Steele is their next target.

They think this is a good Tennessee man who will unite the fan base and bring in other VFLs.

They think this is the slam dunk we have been clamoring for.

I dont feel good about it.

 

[volfaninpa]

You are correct.

Staff
HC: Kevin Steele
OC: Randy Sanders
DC: John Chavis

Book it.

It's gonna be some half-assed VFL "reunion" with coaches that we dragged out of the dumpster.

Decent staff in 1997.

 

[rekinhavoc]

If we’re going that route why not hire Tee? Steele is a failed head coach already. Why hire him over Tee?

Peasant uprising. Repercussions my man.

 

[LynxVol]

It is a sad day when you know that coaches like Sumlin and Fisher are out there, and your school is looking at the Chad Morris' and Kevin Steele's of the world.

Steele HC
Sanders OC
Chavis DC

The most tennessee thing that's ever happened

 

[LotteryPick]

We're about to hire a 60 year old.

 

[McGeesPub]

Well

Frankly, John Currie should no longer be in a position to whether he can't get over something is relevant.

 

[VFL23]

I wonder if we would have fired Bahama John, appointed Phil AD and had Phil fly to Dallas for the Gundy interview to close would have made a difference...

We might have a 7 million dollar coach if we did.

Doubt it. It runs deeper than just Currie. The whole AD is dysfunctional, and until certain power boosters lose power, it is going to be this way. Coaches know this, and that is why UT will have to find an up and comer, and hope we get lucky that they end up being the next big thing.

 

[Face]

Kevin Steele.

9-36.

Guys... les Miles is unemployed. Currie and Haslam are doubling down.

 

[Aesius]

Steele HC
Sanders OC
Chavis DC

The most tennessee thing that's ever happened

And they think it will unite us. They'll probably hire Steele with the stipulation that he hire an all-Tennessee staff.

"Kevin, give those rednecks what they want. They want Tennessee guys. I know Randy and Chief are out of jobs. They'll come here real cheap."

 

[volatil]

Steele HC
Sanders OC
Chavis DC

The most tennessee thing that's ever happened

If this is the line... why not Tee? He is the best recruiter in the nation. Bring Steele in as DC.

Much more united than Kevin Steele

 

[BigZiti09]

Ok so we are being held hostage by A&M decision

By a 14-22 coach

 

[Aesius]

We're about to hire a 60 year old.

With a 9-36 overall record and 1-31 conference record.

I'd rather hire Ken Whisenhunt.

[Jimmy Football]

Kevin Steele.

9-36.

Guys... les Miles is unemployed. Currie and Haslam are doubling down.

.200. That's not even a good batting average.

 

[Ron Swanson]

We are hearing the rumors on Jeff Brohm. That is making its round in some coaching circles, but we have no confirmation on anything. But that rumor is out there, seems to be growing.

Others say Chad Morris is in it. Morris is definitely interested. Morris has a loose tie to Tennessee in former defensive line coach Dan Brooks.

Kevin Steele has significant ties to Tennessee as well.

Those are the three names we are circling around this morning

"Kevin, give those rednecks what they want. They want Tennessee guys. I know Randy and Chief are out of jobs. They'll come here real cheap.Tee? No he might actually win a few more games than we would like. Stick with the I hope we can make a bowl game types"

Hey, Jeff Fisher isn't doing anything...

 

[teamdeke]

If we bring in an SMU guy we might as well go old school SMU and do this thing right! $$$$$

 

[RiseToTheTop]

brohm would feel like a grand slam at this point but i didnt think he was interested? interesting.
