Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLIV

[Kingston Vol]

Now both Hubbs and Hyams hinted something happened in Chicago.

Interesting.

He's okay right now. Hasn't introduced Bobo yet.

If he hires Bobo or similar he better get his buddy Haslem to call in the national guard. On the other hand, maybe not because that would suck the last bit of give dam out of most fans.

Hmm.. What could that mean?

Watching this thread when I can I must admit can be pretty entertaining. Trying to catch up on a flight as we speak. Couple of bullet points to keep some folks that have really bad information in check here...and that’s really all I can do at this point again have to protect the university, the process, and my relationship with it. Everyone will know when we have a new hire...

1. Gruden was not at Calhouns yesterday.
2. Currie primarily flies commercial on UT business..guy is a hustler and should be respected for that.
3. No need to ever track wheels up planes those are not being used for UT business
4. The vast majority of meetings are NOT happening in any location that would “make sense” (Ie, Knoxville etc)
5. Great lengths have been gone into keeping the tail numbers etc that are being used different from ones that have really ever been posted in here before. Take into account my company alone has 5 planes now that may or may not be used all of which none of those tails are known...so imagine how many others are out there. Additionally usually the registration of said planes are done with essentially phony LLC’s in states other than where the planes are used or kept that have no connection to anything that could ever get traced back to an individual.
6. There is a sense of urgency to get this done as quickly as possible but you can’t force someone’s hand purely with $$$. If it were that easy we would have someone already.

I hope everyone who was able to go to game yesterday enjoyed the experience as much as possible. I was bummed that the weather sucked....first time in box for entire game for me in a long time.

I am around a bit today relaxing preparing to turn and burn for the holiday week...I wish each and everyone of you and your families a wonderful thanksgiving holiday. Take time to hug your wife, kids, and parents if they are still around. That’s what its all about.

Looks like nobody is locked up yet.

Too much work to be done in that case.

If he goes to the Bahamas during defcon 4 then he is a sorry AD. Plain and simple.

Defcon 4 is almost the most calm defense condition. We're probably closer to a 2.

 

[drvenner]

Odd. Chris Low was absolutely brutal on Kiffin when he left. Said it was the best thing that could've happened and implied there was some really shady stuff going on (more than what we got in trouble for).

I think he was down in Florida watching him coach all weekend. Really pumping up how good a coach he is on Twitter.

 

[millst987]

Why is Currie talking to DCs? Kevin Steele and Aranda? Is he doing this for a potential HC hire, or for another HC, gauging interest for them?

Tells me that if they were going after somebody they could just throw money at and get, they would already be hired.

Big fish are the targets.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

He will be 64 next football season and is 9-14 the last two years.

True, come to Tn, more talent, hire a good staff including Tee who will recruit even more talent, stabilize the program.

I’m just saying that would be better than hiring a Norvell or Brohm who potentially could kill off the program for sure. We are a suffering, dying, dog, and if we don’t make a good hire, the next coach is gonna be the one that takes us down into the woods to shoot us and finish us off.

All I took from that is they are arm twisting Gruden.

John Fox?

All I took from that is that all these posters that claim they have info know absolutely 💩

 

[BigZiti09]

I can't believe Currie walks around with zero security.

I’m not sure it’s him.

Why is our AD just strolling around what appears to be section ZZ?

Not that it really matters. It’s just a drunk fan. If it’s currie I’m wondering why he is walking alone and why he’s out with the common folk when he’s supposedly a ninja.

 

[Volwark]

Also:

If you think they were meeting with Campbell or somebody near Chicago, that may not be the case. Could've been Frost for all we know.

 

[Ron Swanson]

That’s 100% him Ziti.

That's him.

Check the nose/profile:

If that's not John Currie, then he should be employed by the AD as Currie's body double during coaching searches.

 

[Jimmy Football]

If AV is right, we aren't going to know anything until podium time.

Brutal.

 

[Volwark]

Yes. He pretty much said so.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Guys, Chicago, Charlotte, etc these are major airports with thousands of connecting flights. Currie could be meeting with ANYONE not just someone within a short drive of the airport.

 

[Aesius]

If AV is right, we aren't going to know anything until podium time.

Brutal.

We'll know before then, but it probably won't be sooner than the day before the announcement.

Butch emerged as the top candidate on Dec. 6 after Strong turned us down. Was introduced the next day.

Currie is now using body doubles? How can he be any more ninja like?
