Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVIII (New Coach Edition)

[31VFL]

When asked if administration knows how close they are to losing fans?

They have to know where the fan base is right now. How would they not? I'm sure they feel like they are trying to get the right fit. Obviously, they thought they had that on Sunday. Wrong. Then they made the run at Gundy and he said no.

Lots of conflicting stuff on Brohm today.

Clearly they haven't felt comfortable with Tee Martin or a guy like Les Miles. Two guys who I believe want and would take the job.

 

[Volwark]

I'm not so sure about that...the way this is going, the janitor is flying up the list as a realistic option.

HankHill.

A year from now everybody on here is gonna be, "Hey. Remember when we were talking to UT's head coach on here? Good times."

 

[csprig9]

"I think Haslem's are always going to be involved and the last 10 years of what he gotten done at UT is not a good look for them"

-Hubbs

BOOM!!!!!! Damn right it's not hubbs, these *******s need to be held accountable

 

[zhangliao04]

-Hubbs

Hubbs just politely and calmly said what every Vol fan wants to say in a full blown rage.

 

[Blake25p]

Amazing at the start of this process we would’ve been pissed with Brohm, now we’re begging for them to get it done... unbelievable.

 

[Aesius]

Hubbs also said earlier that people at UT expect a lawsuit from Schiano. Lol.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

I honestly just feel really bad for our players having to watch all of this unfold.

i felt really bad watching them play

 

[I4Jay]

"mr. Currie? Coach gruden is on the line. Also i would like to remind you that you still have coach petersen, coach patterson, and coach harbaugh on hold."

currie: "vandalay industries! Vandalay industries!"

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

 

[JCP201]

When asked if administration knows how close they are to losing fans?

We dont' care if THEY are comfortable with Tee or Les. WE ARE COMFORTABLE with them.

 

[LaagerVol]

-Hubbs

Hubbs is tired of this trash administration too.

 

[zhangliao04]

Seriously, how does Currie keep his job after this? Every football fan at my work (no matter who team they are a fan of) is asking that question.

 

[govols717]

They have to know where the fan base is right now. How would they not?

Well they certainly didn't when they tried to bring Schiano in. I don't know what makes us think the next time will be different.

Haslam

 

[Cactus Jack]

can't expect your child to be able to perform calculus level equations being taught by a 2nd grade teacher

 

[drylo]

What in the world is going on. Go get Brohm now.

If not, call freaking Tee Martin. What are you guys doing!!?! It’s hard to fake being this incompetent

It really, truly is. This is first-ballot hall of fame incompetence.

 

[chargervol]

When asked if administration knows how close they are to losing fans?

Not comfortable with Miles or Tee but okay with someone involved in a pedophilia case.

Un*******believable

 

[LaagerVol]

then peyton and phil need to out these fools

💯

 

[volatil]

This search is only hurting the program now.



Just stop

 

[Jimmy Football]

When asked if administration knows how close they are to losing fans?

It angers me so much that Les wants the job and we won't pick up the phone. It's enraging.

They have until COB tomorrow to show some positive progress or my meager donations stop and I start contacting the representatives I know to do something about the gross mismanagement of the state's flagship institution.

 

[zhangliao04]

This search is only hurting the program now.



Just stop

It's beyond that now.

 

[SergeantVol]

If they hire me I will get first class coordinators and position coaches. 1 mil a year with a 5 mil buyout.

 

[3rdDegreeVol]

I need some email addresses and phone numbers.. We've got to do something BEFORE they bring in someone like Doreen.

[SergeantVol]

Where getting to the point where Currie will call me soon.

 

[scvolfan7]

When asked if administration knows how close they are to losing fans?

I mean my god the stupidity of these people. Les Miles is calling and asking for the job and you’re NOT jumping all over that? Lots and lots of prayer is our only hope now because the people running this **** show are so incredibly stupid that they will probably be the final nail in the coffin for UT. This really isn’t that hard to do. Get les as HC, tee as OC and coach in waiting, and chief or Steele to be DC. Make. It. Happen. Or GTFO.

 

[volatil]

Is the basketball game on TV?


I want to hear that arena for 2 solid hours screaming fire Currie
