Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVIII (New Coach Edition)

[Vols2DaWall]

I feel like Morris is our last stand. If we don't get Morris, then we are going to have an extremely ****ty HC and this program will be done. Maybe tee if they actually talk to him but I'm not convinced Tee will be good here. I'd rather risk on high risk/reward than hire some dip**** like Doeren

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Roll the dice on something. Don’t hire a known buster.

Agreed. Need to start looking at coordinators who don't have 9-36 head coaching records.

Still a lot of shady business going on. The only way this gets fixed is for many heads to roll. I don't see this getting fixed any time soon. Other big boosters have to leave the fold. Hopefully that happens. The longer this goes on the more painful it will be. Better pull that tooth now than let it fester.

Lol that two hour gap was Brohm accepting the first and rejecting the second deal not the airplane BS.

 

[orangeB]

Yes. This is a power struggle with Haslam. He will tell the president what to sign. Get rid of Currie and it will be the same thing. That’s why he hand picked them all.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Chad Morris if he will take it is our next best option IMHO

Baylor made a run at him last year. He signed an extension thru 2023. $2M yr. Buyout not disclosed. SMU is private. If they didn't approve Brohm, then you can rest assured they won't approve whatever his is.

 

[amazingGRACE]

It's gonna be Doeren. Just gross. Why not Tee? Or Miles? Or Morris? Or Kiffin? Or Steele? Or Fulmer?

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

Not for long.

Are boosters going to do anything or just let it burn?

 

[volfanCLT]

This 30 for 30 is going to be EPIC

 

[InVOLuntary]

Stop the search, fire Currie, promote Fulmer, start over.

Currie is about 20% of the problem.

I am pissed that my kids are not going to grow up to be Tennessee fans. My older son has already adopted Clemson and knows their whole depth chart by heart. My 7 year old has been all Vols, but stopped watching this year. I am not watching next year.

I'd like to say I'm shocked at how incompetent, how ignorant the leaders of this university are, but we've all known this for nearly a decade. We've just ignored the fact and hoped. They've continuously bashed this fanbase and laid blame for misfortune on unreasonable fans and their expectations, when the reality of the situation is we are nothing more than pawns for them. They do not care about our passion. They don't care about our opinions. They only care about getting our butts in seats, and making us reach for our wallets. That's it. It's pitiful to sit here and watch this misery. It embarrassing, it's disheartening, and crushed my faith in the school I hold dearly. It's a tough pill to swallow, and many wouldn't want to admit it, but this is exactly what needs to happen to spark change. The University of Tennessee is currently in dire need of a mass exodus beginning at the top. Allow them to continue making a fool of themselves and their decisions. It is likely the best thing. I hate it for the players, us as fans, and all the alumni and people who love UT. But this is no longer the UT I grew up as a child admiring. This is not the same UT that John Ward covered, and could make a grown man cry with his unabashed emotion on the calls. We've lost our way, completely. Let them fail in the public eye and under intense scrutiny. Don't go back on your pledge and fill that stadium next year. It will only harbor and exacerbate the problem. They take this fanbase and alumni for granted and assume we will just bow and support them and give them our money no matter the circumstance. It's time that changes.

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

This coaching search has been highly embarrassing and damaging to the University of Tennessee brand.

Was he rumored to Ole Miss at one point? Because they already have their coach.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Somebody needs to start sleeping with the fishes.. and before ESPN picks this up and runs with it as a death threat... no I mean UT athletics are doomed until Haslam dies of Natural causes

I think Jimmy is a bigger problem than Big Jim at this point.

 

[scores4fun]

Can we just vote to discontinue the football program since our higher ups are too dumb to make an intelligent hire

 

[Nationdom]

If Bahama John hires Dave Doeren with out even calling Mike Leach he should be fired. That would make it 4 times that he should of been fired.

[rocktopper16]

Haslam about to go to jail and the university will take a hit because anybody and everything he is associated with will be questioned.

 

[jordan4vols]

I’m surprised Jimmy is defending his comments about Kiffin. He keeps saying why not he’s a much better coach than others Tennessee is getting too

All one big problem.
