Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLIV

I really wish people would familiarize themselves with the rules then you'd know the article can in no way be factual.

Lol. What rules do you think are in place?

Saw where Ole Miss offered Taggart the job. He turned them down.

 

[Volwark]

And when he said that--quite a few other "insiders" started changing their stance..

That should tell you quite a bit.

"The information I got may not be completely reliable."

 

[Kingston Vol]

Arkansas will have a list of Malzahn and Norvell. My guess is they've already been talking to Norvell. He would very likely want that job over ours.

SBNation has an article out on coaching vacancies. It says Taggart was offered the job by Ole Miss and turned it down. It also said Currie had met face-to-face with Gruden in a procedural move to satisfy boosters and fans. It said Mullen and Schiano are candidates. I’m sure it’s not all accurate so TIFWIW.

Don’t forget Hubbs threw out Schiano’s name right after the UGA loss.

Look for his name to pick up steam as we move along.

Fine with me. He's proven a lot more than Brohm and Norvell.

The more I dissect Brohm, I think that's a colossal mistake. The guy guy beat Missouri this year, and his name exploded. Granted, that would be progress, but I'm not seeing anything that would give me optimism if he is the hire.

I'd take Schiano over Norvell.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

schiano? really?

 

[appyvol]

I'd take Schiano over Norvell.

I'd take Kiffin over both.

 

[Jimmy Football]

schiano? really?

Last week was the head-in-the-clouds Gruden, Harbaugh, Patterson, Peterson week of the coaching search. This week will be the opposite. Prepare accordingly.

 

[Aesius]

Schiano lost to Butch in 2010.

Keeping the tradition alive.

He wouldn’t beat Missouri if he played them today.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Schiano would bring gritty D we need. Not sure about offense. Maybe bring someone from OSU.

 

[McGeesPub]

I'd take Kiffin over both.

If I was a fan of School X, and not the University of Tennessee, I would absolutely agree. But Lane Kiffin can never coach here again.

 

[LaagerVol]

His post told me the opposite. If Gruden was no longer in play he would tell us imo.

I think Gruden hasn’t said no, but AV sounds like he expects him too imo.

I really don't care about one off head to head matchups. It's the dumbest way to evaluate a coach in this situation.

 

[Cheese Vol]

I think one of the causes of contention between the Mehlens and the Mullenites is the points of comparison aren't the same. The Mehlens are weighing Mullen against Gruden, Patterson, Petersen, and the like. The Mullenites are weighing him against Brohm, Norvell, and Bobo.

Of course I'd love Gruden, Patterson, or Petersen over Mullen, but I don't think that's going to happen. I'm trying to think of what the best attainable options are, and I don't see many safer bets.

Couldn't have said it any better.

I don't think Mullen is anyone's first choice, but he is an improvement over Butch and does not carry the risk Norvell or Brohm does.

We are not in a position to take a gamble on an unproven coach.

 

[Jimmy Football]

That was my read, as well.

I know. Schiano's body of work is far more impressive than Butch's.

He's also a real football coach. He actually ticks a lot of boxes for me. In fact, he's probably THE quintessential football coach. Built Rutgers out of nothing. Served as his own DC there. Has a reputation for being a tough disciplinarian. Now he's the top recruiter in the nation.

A lot to like.

 

[JCP201]

With some of the names thrown out, I'd rather just put Fulmer back in, hire some good assistants and recruit some big uglies.

 

[Volwark]

That was my read, as well.

Sad really, cause at one time AV was 75% on it happening. He must've found something out (ie Gruden doesn't care that much about the money).

 

[millst987]

I can’t believe how many SEC jobs are about to be open

 

[Jimmy Football]

I know. Schiano's body of work is far more impressive than Butch's.

I could be sold on Schiano, but let's not pretend it wouldn't be an underwhelming hire.

Would have spared us CBJ though.

 

[Aesius]

It would be for sure. But it's one that I wouldn't immediately hate. I'd be very intrigued by how he would do at Tennessee.
