Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLIV

[InVOLuntary]

He said "expects". Fluid situation, etc etc

No, he's firm.

What the hell is up with that? Happened to us as well. We got our bags off the baggage claim, then had to hand them over again about two minutes later.

More stupid government stuff.

 

[VolsNUT]

I really hope Currie is using those big 12 connections to get in touch with Gary Patterson. My faith in Tennessee football will be fully restored if we get him.

Fixed it for ya!

 

[Volwark]

No, he's firm.

I expect an announcement of a new coach this week.

To me, that's wiggle room. Cause if it doesn't happen, I know exactly what he'll say.

"Said expect. You read too much into it."

That sucks. I just got back from Jamaica. At the Orlando International Airport they have the passport scanner kiosks. Process took about 5 minutes. It was awesome.

Atlanta has that too, but lots of people passing through. There are about 80 international destinations and lots of those have multiple flights. Most of the big European cities have 3, 4, 5 flights a day. Popular beach places like Cancun have 7 or 8. It is a tremendous volume of people. Global Entry is your best bet for getting through in a few minutes.

No, I don't care about that Calhoun's stuff. I've been skeptical of ATL Vol out of my natural skepticism - but his posts seem to indicate Gruden hasn't signed anything (he still could) and we have a good Plan B in place.

Everything I've heard from the few people I talk to also suggest nothing has been signed.

I would have figured he would've taken the job by now if he wanted it. We have roughly a week to interview the rest of our candidates and allow whomever we pick to get a staff together to recruit.

Skeptical of him as well. Just natural. Same as you. Don’t doubt he’s a good guy. Doesn’t mean he has perfect info. He may even think he has the info when he doesn’t. Insiders don’t sway me much. Especially on this stuff. Too much misinformation and too many fake stories floating.

I’m of the belief it is done with Gruden or we are never getting him.

No! Do or do not. There is no try.

It's what DTO does, people will continue to cling to his every word though.

 

[InVOLuntary]

"Said expect. You read too much into it."

That's still putting his neck out there. He could say "The new coach will be announced this week" and when it doesn't happen he could say things are still fluid, he'll get the same amount of grief either way.

Here's a question for everyone. Let's say they announce Gruden Tuesday, is DTO now a trusted insider?

 

[Skizer41]

I'll give Boro and DTO credit for one thing: they are vague enough not to be exposed til the very end. Even then they leave themselves enough wiggle room for somebody to have screwed it up

Are they still saying "hearing good things from my sources" and "I'm hearing from my sources we are hiring a coach" haha

 

[Skizer41]

"Fluid situation guys, fluid situation".

And the other one replies
"That lines up with what I'm hearing"

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Atlanta Vol has been confirmed to be legit with a situation with OGs daughter and another poster here went to the game last night with tickets provided from ATL. His status should have zero skepticism at this point.

Absolutely. He’s legit. No other way to look at it.

Biggest takeaway from yesterday....

John Pennington is a tool shed.

I will be sure to remind you guys of this ever so often so nobody forgets. What a colossal failure on his part. And then to check his timeline and see him talking about how “sportssource doesn’t report rumors. We verify. Ya da ya da.”

John Pennington sucks.

There is nothing in this world that could make DTO trusted or an insider.

No. He’s a troll who got lucky if that happens.

Simonton too. Zero independent confirmation or investigation on his part on the Gruden at Calhoun's thing. Just rolled with Twitter rumors. Fail.

The WORST.

And that's saying something.

Not a fan

Brent needs to run him.

 

[InVOLuntary]

No. He’s a troll who got lucky if that happens.

So he's in a no win situation. His predictions come true and he's a lucky troll, if he's wrong he's just a troll.

 

[Volwark]

Jesus. From DTO to Pennington to Simonton. So much truth in these last several posts. Can't like enough.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Then tried to make it seem like he never bought it in the first place.

Hope Brent dresses him down once he gets back from the airport.

 

[rekinhavoc]

Sure would be nice if Currie announced his man and dropped the mic after saying I'm off to the Bahamas blcthes!

It was entertaining watching him squirm this morning.
