Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVIII (New Coach Edition)

[Grey_pilgrim]

We need to chip in for some billboards around Knoxville. Needs to have a picture of Jimmy Haslam stringing a noose around the Power T. Maybe some clever slogan above that. Need to raise awareness to people just what the Haslams have done to the flagship over the last decade.

I nominate Freak. He’s making money hand over fist from this coaching search.

 

[lifeVol]

We need people with more power than the Haslams to step up. We need state representatives we need the local and national media, we need other boosters and former players, we need their name drug through the mud repeatedly until the say I quit.

Maybe legal issues with Jimmy and political issues with Bill can begin to exert a little push. I think Bill is gonna be up for a Senate run vacated by Corker. This will be remembered during that even though he wasn't the main instigator, but if he sees headwinds there he might be able to get Jimmy's ear. And I'm not sure Jimmy is out of the legal mess yet.

Let me ask you all something. We have had a couple of posters in the FF that have been hinting about this skeeter stuff for a few days.

Why on earth would you want to wait till after the hire to release the info?

JAV says basics of a deal we’re agreed upon with Mullen trough agents. Mullen waited for Currie to call and it never came after egg Bowl. Florida did and got him.

What skeeter stuff?

And he's going to drill us for the next 5-6 years. I should say "the Vols," because I doubt I'll be watching.

 

[BigSteve09]

Florida St losing recruits like crazy tonight. I think the word is getting out that Fisher is gone.

We should have waited for all of that nonsense to shake out.

We can still get

Leach
Durkin
Petrino
Morris
Venables
Steele
Miles
Sumlin
Norvell
Tee Martin

Don't forget do not vote for Randy Boyd for Governor. Another Haslam puppet.

 

[engineerVOL]

Currie was pissed boosters up and ran to Gruden with offers. Held it against them when Mullen was contacted.

 

[Big Sun]

I'm not on twitter but can someone tweet Skeeters handle to Clay Travis? And Wes too.

why the f not... my first two tweets

A competent athletic department could've seen his unhappiness a mile away and started stockpiling to hire Fisher

They are getting Taggert then. I couldn't see Venables coming here. He is a K St and Bill Snyder guy. I think Snyder probably told him to stay far away.

 

[drylo]

If the team fails it is not our fault as fans. It is on the people that are the decision makers. So far "the man is using this Fan base and even Mr Currie as a human shield.

The fans can either help or hinder the program. I’d prefer the former. It seems that most here either don’t care or prefer the latter. Sucks.

I’m calling it now: FSU and A&M end up in a bidding war for Greg Schiano.

#firecurrie. If you have social media blow this up. Like, retweet do whatever you can. It’s growing and maybe will have some effect. They literally played music over the fans tonight at the game who chanted it. And arrested, and per twitter broke a students arm for saying. Students father is a lawyer too apparently so this should be fun.

What’s is this??? I’ve been at a conference all week and guess I’ve missed some big stuff

Has to be some form of corruption there with the Haslam's. I do not understand any of this, other than they're the reason this has played out this way.

We've helped it for its entire history much more than most programs could claim.

It's time to be paid back.

 

[SamRebel35]

I don't do Twitter. Can somebody please spam Clay Travis with requests to start a Twitter revolution against House Haslam?

 

[Jimmy Football]

Prediction time:

Doeren is going to look like Hugh Freeze right out of the gate and land a bunch of guys on the recruiting trail that he has no business landing. Haslams know that this hire is going to be incredibly poorly received, and they don't want empty stadiums, dwindling donations, and reduced season ticket sales. So what better way to drum up interest in the program again than following the Butch Jones model? And that will happen via recruiting resources that most other coaches simply don't have. Bama/Ole Miss-level cheating here.

No results on the field is okay for a few years if you're stacking classes with 4* and 5* recruits. Fans will jump back onboard quickly when we start booming over those guys. Then, once it's clear he's not going to get it done, yank the bag men/recruiting perks and resources and let the guy fall flat on his face.

Rinse, repeat.

Not me. Not again.

Doeren and I'm donen.

Could it be because he already had his Schiano man ?

Replace the Butch sign on the scoreboard with this

So only matter when we pay money that's how we're viewed. You will have plenty of cheap seats next year. If you want people to be supportive don't wander them through the desert like the SEC version of the Israelites for 10 probably gonna be 20 years.

I hope so something needs to be done
