Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLIV

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I’m not denying this is a real situation. It obviously is. I’m skeptical how much different than 2012 it really is. Dude said he didn’t think people were throwing out real numbers in 2012 and welcomed people to correct him.

I want it to work out. But people on here get so carried away and it makes it hard to tell what’s serious and what’s just people lost in fantasyland — my preference would be for people to stay mostly moored to reality so that (1) misinformation is kept to a minimum (of course there will always be some) and (2) when we end up hiring Norvell or something, he actually will have a legit chance to be successful before our fan base destroys him.

Norvell has no real chance to be succesful here yet. It's too big a job too soon for him.

 

[HankHill]

Not dogging Mullen, but there are other acceptable big names that we should put in a position to say “no” rather than go directly to Mullen. Seems like a big drop off.

I agree with you. If you’re throwing out 10 mil there’s a lot of current nfl coaches and big time college coaches I’d at least flash it to first.

 

[tnmarktx]

I'll drop this here.


Huge news

If we hired Jon Gruden and he wants Tee Martin as his OC, we should just go ahead and fire him.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Gruden is coming. I believe Travis Hamilton

I disagree. Butch won 9 games twice. He and Dooley both brought in good players. Tennessee isn’t a hard place to win at.

Lol

Butch and Dooley are all time bad failures. That kind of proves my point.

It's not a hard place to win if you're a good coach.

Dude looks like half of my drinking buddies before we had kids.

Having the 13th ranked offense and averaging over 35 a game is pretty poor.

Lol, what did the other half look like?

Not to mention being the best recruiter in the nation

 

[BigZiti09]

The same but without the facial hair and safety glasses.

Most definitely. 👍 Kick the tires on all the cars.

If butch is an Epic failure and was one win away from a bcs bowl then imagine what even a decent coach could do.

 

[OnTheWayBack]

Hold up, Trevor Daniel didn't even make semi finalist for Ray Guy?

Unfortunately, he did not. Somebody posted a tweet from Pat McAfee that the Ray Guy people know nothing. He said Johnny Townsend and Trevor Daniel were game changers.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Y’all know you’re watching this all vol call in show live feed with me 😂. Don’t deny it

Imagine what Gruden and the best dang staff in America could do

That's what we've been saying

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

I would be unhappy with a Norvell hire as well, but what he said didn’t prove your point in any way at all.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Wont be saying this tommorrow unless a very important group of people were trolled this afternoon which wouldn't be wise.

What do you know, NV? You have made a couple posts recently this evening that sound like you have some info.

Wow. You haven't USC once this year have you?

 

[Dooby15]

Has Hubbs commented on being at the airport? That’s hilarious by the way.

 

[Hammer85]

HankHill, FF poster said his son drove by Neyland a few minutes ago and they were taking Butch down. Whatcha got.

Yes on 990 this afternoon.
