Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLIII

[Volwark]

If it is Gruden do people think Fulmer would be a good option and even interested in being OL coach?

Thought about that yesterday. He could knock it out of the park as an OL coach and recruiter, IMO, without all the hassle and stress of OC or HC. But I wonder if he would be willing to hit the road recruiting again at his age.

Hiring a coach before next Saturday isn't fair to the current players especially the seniors. It ain't going to happen imo

So Ron has gone all Volatil and guaranteed the harpooned white whale at exactly 11:27 AM ET tomorrow? Boulders Ron! The size of boulders!

How? Why would the seniors not want to be associated with Jon Gruden? Especially if they are going to the draft this upcoming year. It is a networking opportunity for them.

not falling for this again.

I’ve been strong the whole time on trying to pull jumbo from FSU. (Have connections they tell me it’s a mess down there). Never really thought of Marrone until i found out his agent in fact contacted Currie.

You are a nut. I mean you say "it's a mess down there" and yet still pine away for the guy responsible? Dang it Hank that don't make no sense.

My guess is Gruden announced this week. Probably tomorrow.

Not sure if you heard that from a source, but it matches up with my info. I'll believe this when I see it but wow has this picked up steam since Sunday.

Smoke so think you can’t tell where it’s not.

Haven't had time to catch up to the board so I apologize if it's already been mentioned, but full practice on Fridays was pioneered by Chip Kelly. Here is an article from football scoop:

Why Chip Kelly has a different practice schedule than the rest of the NFL - FootballScoop

Idea cam from Olympic level trainers.

Then glad he is not on our list. That is just stupid in terms of football.

You all see this about Marlin Lane talking about Butch Jones. Pretty damning stuff if true. Here's the link : Twitter

I don’t have any sources. I just follow this stuff really closely and connect the dots. But yes, I agree, it’s picking up major steam which makes me think it’ll be announced very soon. This week is my guess, hopefully tomorrow.

This!

Maybe tonight on MNF. Beaver said (I know it's the beaver) ESPN would be allowed to break the story. I'm watching tonight.

Lol you guys are hilarious

I hope you know this = volatil promising Akers to the hill

Forward to about 10:40 to get to Marlin Lane Jr.

 

[JAllen18]

They would announce a HC in waiting for the recruits.

 

[85SugarVol]

Haha they are eating it up in the FF.

Yes. Yes they are.

Probably gonna regret this but:

Disagree. Even knowing they won't get to play a down for Gruden, it would make the players pumped as hell if they care remotely about UT football. If anything it would hang over the interim staff like a cloud.

 

[JacketVol]

This is just too speculative IMO. Currie is trying to save the recruiting class and will say what he needs to until he makes a hire. I'm not convinced this is significant.

Could you see Dave Hart making the same call and it being effective?
