Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVIII (New Coach Edition)

They have to stop.

A panic hire will sink this even deeper if possible

Just pause till Sunday at this point

 

[SeanJean]

He should have posted the rest of the message that prompted that reaction.

Or, you know, not.

 

[BigZiti09]

Hyams saying it wasn't Bev but DePietro.

My money is on it being both.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

The longest train wreck I've ever seen. It's almost impressive to be this bad at your job(s)

 

[InVOLuntary]

Guys, I've just about lost my give-a-damn. Time for the VolTwitter is over. All that happens is UT fans are made to look like the bad guys. The only way to fix this is people turning in their season tickets. They need to bankrupt this AD. Football is king and they are destroying it. Destroy football and you destroy UT athletics. I make the pledge here to not spend one penny on UT. I've already have my BB tickets or I would turn those back. If you really want to make change, quick supporting this crapfest. You do that and Currie's $5MIL buyout will be peanuts.

It's sad that it has come to this but it's the only option.

 

[bignewt]

Should have stopped after last Sunday. Just take a breath. Instead they went full panic mode offering everyone they can...desperation has a smell.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

This is the end. There aren’t any good options left that they’ll actually hire. We’re finished

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

Seems more believable. But so stupid. Just so stupid. I cannot fathom that at all.

But we can renovate the damn stadium for $340 million!!!! But oh gosh can't afford that buyout of 4-5 million Coach Brohm!!

Just pause till Sunday at this point

I agree the window to save face in wake of the Schiano fiasco closed with Gundy. Should have released a statement about reevaluating the programs options and will restart the search in the coming weeks.

 

[amazingGRACE]

this sucks but in the grand scheme of things it's just football.

Don't let it affect your personal life fellas! You're all bros to me

 

[GoBigOrange86]

I hope they enjoy the $750,000 they saved by scuttling the deal over WKU. They stand to lose a lot more money than $750,000.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Jimmy has his hand up DePietro's backside too. This is the Haslam mafia.

theres no doubt lots of season tickets will be given back

 

[StoVol]

Seeing as how Dipetro and Bev were hand picked by Haslam I’m not seeing a real distinction here

 

[kohlrums]

Travis hates women now is the reason? But he said he likes boobies

He's an instigator. Not a reporter.

 

[bcartervol98]

Or, you know, not.

Well maybe not any of it would be best but that part without the prior Kiffin messages makes him look bad. Kiffin has been trolling him for days and that was the culmination.

I’m not getting tickets if it’s Doeren however you spell it.

Tennessee’s coaching search continues, as the Vols have moved on from Purdue head Jeff Brohm after the two sides discussed the opening in the last day.

Despite a report that Brohm was set to be hired at Tennessee, no deal was ever reached or even close to being finalized, per sources. Another report stated that Tennessee offered Brohm a contract only for the school to block the deal, but a high-ranking university source told VolQuest.com that Chancellor Davenport “100 percent” did not block any deal.

With Brohm not an option, Tennessee officials are set to move forward and have a conversation with NC State head coach Dave Doeren, sources said. Inside Pack Sports was the first to report the meeting.

After two very successful seasons at Northern Illinois, Doeren is in his fifth year with the Wolfpack, compiling a 33-30 record. NC State went 8-4 this fall.

SMU’s Chad Morris and Auburn defensive coordinator Kevin Steele remain potential targets in Tennessee search, too. A source told VolQuest.com that the Vols feel unlikely to complete their search tonight.

Why would the President kill the deal if none of the money comes from NON-AD funds.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Guys, it’s Gru

All a big smokescreen

If this could only somehow be true...I’m embarrassed to be a TN alumnus. 😞😞😞

Bingo. This has Haslam written all over it.

absolute garbage

 

[snowvols]

Dave Doeren is a eunuch b*tch and I hope we go 0-12 next season

 

[StoVol]

He's an instigator. Not a reporter.

Does that make him a misogynist cause he heard Bev killed a deal?

I’m out. I’m done with UT football if that’s our candidate pool
