Which coach not from UGA was the nicest? “Coach Derek Dooley and Coach Gene Chizik. Coach Dooley was incredibly nice. My mom really loved Coach Dooley. I hated to tell him that I wasn’t coming to Tennessee.”

Love it.

Why do you love it? We didn't land the recruit. What are we now celebrating moral recruiting victories?

Not sure if you read this article on Jordan Jenkins, but it is worth the read. He talked about how UT was his best visit and how he was taken to a 5 star restaurant.

Pro sports is changing when it comes to professionalism. All of your star athletes are usually decked out in their suit during their post-game interviews. Dooley's philosophy of making the players realize that there is more than football will work well IF he can win. The deal he had in place with Men's Wearhouse, the "White House style" team dinners, etc... is going to look good for mommies and intrigue athletes. Whether you like Dooley or not, this year is huge because it could really open the floodgates to recruiting with the elite.

Misleading thread title. If DD had the perfect approach the kid would be a Vol.

I didn't say you did. But read the title of the thread! It is a thread (and I said we, as in Volnation) praising DD for having the "Perfect approach".

win close games?

I think what the players need to learn is that they can outscore anybody in the country and offensively dominate the SEC east.

DD will play to win.

The offense just needs an attitude from game 1.

NO CLOSE GAMES

Yes, you apparently are. I love the approach. Have to win to provide stability to seal the deal. Not a complex concept.

Didn't Kitten get in trouble for putting on a presentation in Neyland? Something about creating a game day atmosphere is illegal. Yet he said this:

What was the most creative thing UGA did? “They turned on the stadium lights and put on the inspirational video [on the scoreboard] when I went on my official visit. That’s one of the things that really opened my eyes because I was like ‘Wow, I can really play here at Georgia and enjoy it’ after watching that. It began to change my whole opinion of Georgia.”



Hmmmm.

I'm sorry, but you either get the recruit or you don't.

Your pitch either works or it doesn't.

so, your basically saying the approach is meaningless by indicating that winning is what would seal the deal.

look, i like the approach too. but, dooley did not invent the concept of showing a kid a good time, warming up to momma, and letting the kid order an expensive meal.

what will dooley think of next, hostesses?

tennessee wasn't even the maid of honor in this one. not exactly the finest example of his recruiting prowess.
