Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLII

[Chief Vol 13]

It almost feels like Christmas and I am waiting to see what our new gift is going to be when the HC is unwrapped.

Hopefully we won't all open the gift and it be a raincoat.

True my bad. Point is I don’t think Hubbs is breaking this one.

JG has to inform ESPN he's stepping down from MNF and they break the story from there.

I dig it

 

[GreyWolf1129]

You've been lied to by trolls. He will never coach here as much as I'd love him to.

Maybe not...and may be.

:whistling:

Go Vols.

 

[orangefreak21]

Can you triple smoke screen a double smoke screen? Does it make it true?

Its the only way

 

[Wickman]

Gerald just opened up his recruitment

 

[JAllen18]

8 wins wouldn't be an incredible coaching job. Don't let the bad coaching going on now impact expectations.

That's what we've been doing.

Agreed. The talent is there.

 

[Rishvol]

Feldman broke the firing, and he's a Sports Illustrated/Fox Sports guy.

How did he get that scoop

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Gruden (lol), Kelly, Patterson, Frost, Mullen, Campbell, then Taggart in that order.

I still think it's going to be Mullen.

I'm thinking it'll either be Mullen, Frost, Taggart or Brohm. I'm hoping we'll at least kick the tires on Venables as well.

Who else remembers when Weatherd called in to Finebaum to defend Butch? Seems like he’s just salty he couldn’t make an NFL career work.

 

[Nationdom]

Count me in with Mullen's (Mehlen's) Marauders (Minions).

Didn't like that last offensive series against Bama and have never been a big fan of Grantham, but overall I would be very happy with that hire. I like the 3/4 better and feel they could adapt the current roster to it well. Need a QB developer with a proven offensive system and Mullen fits that.

i would take Leach over Mullen.

 

[LaagerVol]

lol. At first I thought he was joking. Then realized he wasn't.

Still think he is a troll

 

[JAllen18]

Take a look at what good coaching has done to Miami. Next coach could easily come in and get 8 wins with this group.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Nah. He would be a terrible fit here. Terrible.

Agreed.

Good point.

 

[rocktopper16]

What are the players saying?

One could argue our more talented players haven’t been playing.

Yep. Clearly need to stay healthier than the last two years. And a lot depends on QB play. But yeah.

 

[Dooby15]

Partying

 

[Vols4us]

Nah. He would be a terrible fit here. Terrible.

Leach is a flake. Fits perfectly out there.

 

[OrangenSC]

I heard he was running a cock fighting ring. TIFWIW

I guess he wasn't very good at it. If he had done a better job of fighting cocks he'd probably still be the coach here.

 

[Blake25p]

Nah. He would be a terrible fit here. Terrible.

Want to explain, not being a di**k. Genuinely curious?

 

[Wickman]

Nathaniel Rutherford from Rocky Top Insider said John Currie called a major booster and said the hire would be "big, expensive and explosive."

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Here's to hoping we can swoop in and pull Scotty Frost. My money is on either him or Mullen being the next guy.

 

[GreyWolf1129]

Miami has speed to burn. As Don James proved way back when at U-Dub, speed can make up for a lot of things.

We have guys who can't keep up with their shadow. And glaring weaknesses on the OL and DL.

8 wins next year can be done, but it will be an accomplishment, not a given.

Go Vols.
