Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXIII

[JAllen18]

Butch will do some interviews, right? If so, I expect the Shoop talk to die down temporarily with a lot of other names popping up before Shoop is in fact hired.

I think there was already mutual agreement between them. You heard some of that noise before the bowl game.

You are killing me, Sam.

Agree wasn’t bad. Was told Butch felt to win a National Championship he felt program needed to improve though.

Expected or no, that’s a bold move by Butch heading into a really key year for the #Vols program. That defense wasn’t bad.

Hopefully that means at WR too.

Speaking of Shoop...

Maybe Butch is ditching the bald look for Salt-n-Pepa

 

[jave36]

If this is Butch's doing, no way he can justify keeping Z and dumping Jancek.

Exactly

 

[VolGee4]

There are 2 threads on PSU's Rivals board acknowledging the move, but of course, I can't read the content.

Had to be the same with DeBord, right? His name popped up immediately, then a ton of other names were tossed around while Butch was supposedly interviewing candidates (whether he did or not), then DeBord ultimately got the job.

Would they announce Shoop immediately after Jancek was let go?

If it is Shoop we would lock down the midstate plus add DB expert. New TE coach reconnects the I-4 corridor fot us and brings multiple levels of experience. wow

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

I'd like to see Shoop or Chavis hired. Would be curious as to what the buyout is for each. Also I'd think hiring a million dollar DC would mean DeBord would be looking for a huge bump in pay as he makes about 500,000.

Why not both?

Please Please Please Jacoby Stevens Please.

By far best player I saw all year

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

Co Defensive Coordinators making a million plus a year each? Well I am sure of one thing right now. You are not Dave Hart.

Dead period ends this weekend.

No way this process lasts that long.

 

[DD4ME]

In just enough time for some razzle dazzle recruiting

 

[nashvol1]

Needs to be quicker than Debord due to late recruiting we need to complete this cycle.

The debord hire took much longer than we thought. Butch was very methodical with that one

I just saw this suggestion in the FF. But I don't believe that means DeBord would have to paid similarly. DeBord was not coaching last year, and Hubbs has said that the assistants don't have leverage right now. No other schools really came after them. Give them raises for performance, but it is simple supply and demand.

I think Cat was saying that DeBord would be in line for an increase if Shoop was hired at a million or so.

Edit: I was wrong

 

[DD4ME]

The testicular fortitude needed for this move is on a whole other level of what I thought you'd see from UT.

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

Now it makes sense when OV mentioned Jeremy Pruitt was contacted sometime back and we all were saying what the?! He knew then he was going to make a change.

I look at it as more of a respect thing. If I am DeBord and have a year on the job with the offense and run game setting records, would I dislike the new guy coming in the door on the other side of the ball making 2-3X more than I do? I probably would not. I don't think it's a coincidence that our OC/DCs have all made about the same money here under Butch.

 

[DD4ME]

You don't let go of a guy like Jancek for some off the wall BS. For all we know recruiting could be as big a driver as coaching. I highly doubt Butch likes having offers kicked back after the season he just had.

 

[BigZiti09]

That was in the summer. He had time.

Defensive recruits are gonna want to know who is leading them.

Which is why Jones has been getting potential DCs for weeks. That is when he was being methodical.

We hired Debord on February 6th and completed signing day last year without an OC.
