Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXXI

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest Butch knows a little bit more about this situation than you do..

And if butch surprises me then I will be a man admit I was wrong about his hires and sing his praises, but until then i am full on the butch is clueless train

You're not beating anyone when it counts unless you have a good QB. OL or not

That dude is a hater man. Easy to see...... Wilson is good and his O-line is GARBAGE

Filmed talk has some legs. Baby legs.

Would be interesting.

I am not totally opposed.

This would be a total Tennessee move. We have a expertly qualified candidate in our UT system and we go with an individual who is completely out of touch with college athletics and has been for many years. Color me deeply disappointed if this happens. Fulmer has never hired a coach and doesn't have any contacts any more. I may step away from following UT as closely because it's not worth the level of obsession I have given it.

They've had an elite line for a few years now so why couldn't Romo's backups look amazing? Never underestimate the importance of having a good trigger man. Imo it's the toughest position to play in sports.

Romo pit up great numbers too, defense gas improved.

Basketvols gonna get it done!

At least Fulmer cares about UT. That's more than we've had for a while

Love winning in that building.

Little payback for football. Tho I'd trade it all day every day

Maybe they can contact the SEC offices and see if they can play the rest of the SEC schedule on the road....they play awesome on the road.

 

[Vols4us]

Shorter rotation may be helping the b-ball Vols. They looked quick and in rhythm all night.

 

[Catbone]

We are a road team I guess

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Way to beat those comma-a-dorks basketvols good road win

 

[VolGee4]

If Fulkerson hadn't gotten hurt, I think this team might have a couple of more wins. The future is bright with Fulkerson and Williams along with Bone running the offense.

That's exactly what I said. You're turning into a troll. I said they overpaid for Wilson and had to go with a trash OL because of it. Wilson is a great qb, but you can't ditch your great OL to keep a QB was my point, or you get beat like Seattle just did.

How many years straight is this with a Vol in the super bowl

I was just contacted by a search firm, representing the University of Tennessee, regarding their opening for Athletic Director.

I was asked for confirmation on how to spell my name, and "have you ever footballed?"

He thanked me for my time, and said I was on the short list

TIFWIW

Idk but it will be 2 straight that a vol wins a ring.... I'm talking about you Eric berry

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

My concern with Hubbs mentioning Fulmer being a "compromise to DB" is there are people trying to pit Fulmer and Blackburn against each other for this job. I just thought that was an interesting way to word it by Hubbs. Like others have said, getting them as a team would be a dream come true. But is there any way that would happen here with this stupid admin/ boosters/BOT?

 

[#JuanVol]

Anyone else thinking the compromise is they will make Gilbert AD and fulmer associate AD?

Osweiler's contract is 4 years 72 million. 37 million guaranteed for first 2 years. NFL his hurting for some good quarterbacks.

I would take 1 million to go out there and throw interceptions and into the dirt and take hits from defenders.

 

[BJHSVol]

Seattle this year shows the catch 22 of the NFL and how hard it is to be good every year. You can build through the draft, but eventually players have to get paid and you have to make tough choices and hope your backups can step up.

Defensively they've stayed steady even after loosing Chancellor and some other major DBs, but it's hard to do it on both sides and we saw how their offense took a step back.

NFL is hurting for good GMS and coaches more. He never deserved a contract like that in first place. The signs were there last year

I think Blackburn is miles ahead of Fulmer as an AD candidate, but to say he doesn't have any contacts any more is absolutely incorrect.
