Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVIII (New Coach Edition)

[volatil]

Exactly. Leave Doeren alone but don't spend a dime on the program.

Someday we'll get our tickets.

If we live that long

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Hmmm.....
They’re caught red handed scheming folks out of money. Maybe they’re scheming the university too? Once a crook always a crook.

Yep. I think Davenport and Currie were handpicked to keep things quiet.

 

[pierce60]

Nope not his fault.


Not mine either so I’ll not support them with my money.

This is the avenue to take. Not a social media mob or campus protest. Hit them in the pocket book.

 

[LA Vol]

In other words, Boosters probably did have Gruden set up, but he was never offered. Never offered Peterson, Patterson, or Chip Kelly. Jimbo is ripe for the pickings, and Texas AM is going to get him, without us even trying..

UT doesn't offer people who won't even interview with us. Gruden never wanted to coach college. There was never an offer, never a deal, never talks nor planes nor secret meetings. It was 100% trolling.

 

[CoaxialOrange]

Hubbs seems drained. Like he's just going through the motions.

Sees money going down the toilet

 

[vol2002]

Hubbs seems drained. Like he's just going through the motions.

Hubbs will take a personal financial hit soon, depending on how this goes. Lots of folks gonna check out.

 

[Aesius]

Probably a bit far fetched but... any chance Gruden wasn’t trolling with his love that song stuff, and that was his way of telling Currie, WTF why haven’t you called me yet.

Not far fetched at all. He probably wanted the job badly.

 

[unioncityvol]

If Doeren is hired so be it, but team Haslam needs to go. Give UT back to the people of Tennessee.

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

And Skeeter confirmed on twitter that Peyton is against our two favorite hires. He is more concerned with politics and money than us.

 

[VolGee4]

I’ve said this from the start. I don’t believe Gruden was ever offered or even contacted by Currie. I think by saying what he did about Knoxville, Rocky Top, never say never to nothing, Gruden was literally asking for the offer. But Currie never gave it. GS was his guy from the start.

Burn it down.

If Blackburn was hired, do we have Gruden?

 

[jjay2518]

If we live that long

Yep. Gotta focus on my health so I've still got some good years left once UT actually cares about winning again.

 

[InVOLuntary]

The only thing they'll listen to is money or the lack thereof. They don't care what you tweet, they don't care what you paint on the rock. They only care what you spend. You want to affect change quit spending money on UT athletics and in particular UT football. I know it's hard. Many have had their seats for a long time and can't stand the thought of giving them up. But trust me, I got over it quickly with football and basketball. You will too.

Hi! 😭😭

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Fireable offenses. My dad always told me that I can't worry about things out of my control. But this pisses me off.

But it is partially in our control... if the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ goes down things will have to change

 

[Aesius]

And Skeeter confirmed on twitter that Peyton is against our two favorite hires. He is more concerned with politics and money than us.

He sees the Haslams as a quick ticket to an NFL front office job or a career in politics. Probably both.

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

If Blackburn was hired, do we have Gruden?

I think so. Definitely a much better chance with him than the Haslam stooge.

 

[JCP201]

What did you think of Barnes mention of Currie looking for a coach in his post game presser?

What did he say?

 

[CoaxialOrange]

Yep. I think Davenport and Currie were handpicked to keep things quiet.

Butch=Cincinnati
Bev=Cincinnati
Schiano=Columbus/interview w Browns

Theme?

Fulmer is all we have on our side

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

Not far fetched at all. He probably wanted the job badly.

It really makes sense now. I am going to be sick- this has to become public now. If the fans knew that Gruden really was interested and Haslam stopped it there will be a revolt of epic proportions!

 

[RiotVol]

Seems like the narrative unfolding now is that even prominent, tier 1 boosters were promised that their money would go towards a Gruden-caliber coach (if not Gruden himself).

But the plan was to hire Schiano all along.

I don't understand how the Haslams and Currie thought that was going to work. Maybe they have screwed over other millionaire boosters before and gotten away with it and thought they could do it again.

Most revolutions happen not when the rich stomp on the poor, but when they step on the middle class one too many times.

 

[utvolmaniac]

We didn't want a coach who failed to report another on child molestation charges. Why would we put up with an AD who is a puppet for a conman booster?

 

[BeecherVol]

Once Doeren is hired, it's done. No sense picketing against him. He might be a terrible hire, but he didn't do anything other than take a job he was offered.

Bad administrations make bad decisions that lead to bad outcomes. We don't have to like it and we don't have to support it, but it's not Doeren's fault.

Given the situation he knows what he's jumping into and while it isn't his fault he ll take that into consideration with his terms. High risk, high payoff. For him

 

[unioncityvol]

I simply want to know why Haslam insisted on Schiano.

Maybe Schiano caught him bangin a goat or something. Nothing else makes sense.

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

He sees the Haslams as a quick ticket to an NFL front office job or a career in politics. Probably both.

I will never look at him the same way again. Never.
