Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVIII (New Coach Edition)

[govols717]

You know they wanted to have a coach in place before the basketball game. The signs and chants against this administration will be loud and clear.

 

[IhateGA]

Why have we not just hired a search firm at this point?

 

[Vols4us]

You don't kill a rattlesnake by cutting off its rattle (Currie). The body and rattle die when you cut off the head.

There is enough mess for the legislators to take action and put the head in a vice. If you want to burn it down the NCAA and/or legal system can help you do it. You know Jimmy Haslam has overstepped, maybe others have. It's who he is. Just takes a formal inquiry and then an investigation. All of those token rubber stamps on the BOT will be on the spot and wetting their pants. Things will change.

 

[Gilbert]

We need a UAB reset.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

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

Saw this yesterday. Take him over Steele. Report: LSU OC Matt Canada seeking interview for school's head coaching job

 

[joceppyjoe]

Why not go after Leach,Miles or Tee? If they don't think Tee is ready give it to Fulmer for 3 years while he helps Tee and then make Tee Head Coach.

 

[StoVol]

Tn has put me in a position where if I buy tickets and go to a game I will be making it worse for my children by endorsing ineptitude.. which protracts it

 

[HankHill]

If we’re obviously ignoring better candidates at both the HC and Coordinator level. I honestly wouldn’t mind giving Robert Gillespie an interview and hopefully catching lightning in a bottle. I know everyone of our players would take a Bullet for him.

 

[BruinVol]

We need a UAB reset.

We need their coach.


Best option out there period

 

[Cactus Jack]

This is the hugest smokescreen by Currie of all time. no doubt this is all a front to get Petersen or Gruden. He has smokescreened the smokescreen while enveloping that smoke with more smoke wrapped with smoke rubberbands

 

[85SugarVol]

Remember when this whole thing fired up?

We were talking about $8M - $10M for upper tier coaches.
Names like Gary Patterson, and Chris Petersen.

Remember when Dan Mullen was our "floor"?

Man, those were good days.....

Not sure if this has been posted here but everyone needs to give this a listen. This is the kind of sadness and distress those a$$hole$ in Knoxville are causing. It’s sickening.

He's my first choice of anyone on the staff. Even over Hoke.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

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.

Bump...LET US GO!!! Tired of being embarrassed to be a TN alumnus.

 

[Aesius]

If Doeren doesn't take it, the job falls to Steele, and he WILL take it. Without hesitation.

Thought this early this am as well

[Aesius]

Martin >>>>>> Gillespie. And I love Coach G.

 

[LaagerVol]

Only good part of that update is that Chad Morris is still a possibility.

Not really. I will believe it when I see it.

 

[csprig9]

Makes getting rid of season tickets a no brainier...**** you Currie

[Aesius]

Chad Morris is Thursday's nut punch.

Steele castrates us on Friday.

 

[MetalVolunteer]

I expect the absolute worse hire possible now.

IMHO

 

[LaagerVol]

Just go ahead and release all scholarship athletes to transfer without penalty. Give these kids a chance

As bad as we feel as fans, imagine how the players feel.


And I stayed away for like an hour.

Was Gruden ever offered? Did he turn it down? Seems like it all got dismissed and I never saw anything about him not wanting the job.
