Hiring on potential "name recognition" is a disaterous strategy IMO

You hire a coach based on how he coaches and improves his players, not whether some middle aged men recognize his name from when he played 15 years ago.

Has Weinke ever had to recruit?

I don't disagree but has Canales a winning coach?

Did I say I was impressed? Nope. Never said it. All I have said is people need to stop their hand wringing if in fact Canales is the one hired.....Everyone's go to guy seems to be Weinke based off of POTENTIAL recruiting and this resume...

Coaching Career

IMG Academy (2010–2014) (High School kids)
Director of Football
St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams (2015–2016) (The Rams...lol)
Quarterbacks coach

When we recruit kids with "potential" the same people are the ones bit**ing about that, but now they want to hire a QB coach with potential. Makes no damn sense at all. So yeah, my opinion is that if that's what you are basing your opinion off of (maybe not you specifically, but you know there are plenty who are) then your (whoever your may belong to) opinion is pretty weak and therefore I find it insignificant.

Of course my opinion is insignificant. As is yours and everyone's on this board. To think otherwise is delusional.

As I said previously, considering where we are as a program, I'd prefer to go with the riskier, higher upside guy than the guy who you can say, "Well, he coached Phillip Rivers 15 years ago."

Good discussion.

Im just glad we're getting an actual QB coach instead of a GA. I have other things to turn my nose up at, like mcdonalds coffee

People are going to create controversy however they can to fit their narrative. "This guy has only coached at N.Texas, he has to suck." We could of had a former heisman trophy winner. He hasn't coached my, but who cares! I just know recruits will flock to him.
Give me a guy that has worked hard in tough places and had some success any day of the week. They appreciate the big cha cues when they come and aren't out the door chasing the next shiny thing. Canales will be fine. I am glad he is on board.

It's swill, but at least you don't pay 6 bucks for a cup that tastes burnt.

True. I once went Golden Sound in Nashville, which I go to occasionally, but didn't notice the coffee that I ordered was $10. For 12 ounces. It hurt deep inside me, but to be fair it was the best coffee I've ever had. All in all still kinda mad about it.

I'll wait until it's announced. 247 also said Fulmer was "all but done." I wish I was in a business where I could be wrong all the time and not worry about losing my job.

"Tennessee will imminently name Mike Canales its new quarterbacks coach, sources told multiple members of 247Sports including Ryan Callahan, filling the final truly open position on its coaching staff --- though more changes are expected as both Don Mahoney, offensive line, and Steve Stripling, defensive line, are under contracts that expire at the end of next month.

Canales is the only of Tennessee’s myriad candidates to be quarterbacks coach who received two in-person, on-campus interviews, being on Rocky Top as recently as Monday."

I did clarify that I did not necessarily mean your opinion, but rather than write all of that into several posts, I consolidated into one.

Weinke coached Jared Goff for a year...and is now out of a job.

As I stated back in one of my earlier posts, Canales isn't who I would have preferred either, but just because it isn't who I prefer does not make it a bad hire. I'm not going to bit** about him being a bad hire unless he proves himself to be a bad hire.

It's not sunshine pumping to refuse to jump into the bowels of hell without cause. Right now, we have no cause.
