Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLIV

Jimmy Hyams (I know, I know but the downside to Grudenmania)

"I had a very prominent booster tell me that 2 coaches, that you would expect to be on a Tennessee search list, already say they had no interest in the UT coaching position. And they specifically cited the Gruden or bust hype"

Who knows if the booster is telling the truth.
I guess if I was a coach though, the fanbase reception and patience level would be at least a concern.

This is something I have said will end up hurting us. People need to be ready for a let down.

The volquest and 247 guys talked about this happening. Hope it isn’t true

I'll be glad when this is over. I guess I'm a sheep but I'll probably rally 100-percent behind the next guy, even if he's a total lackluster hire. Well, except Bobo. Can't do it for him.

 

[Aesius]

Would be incredibly shortsighted for coaches to avoid a great job that is prepared to pay a huge salary because of fan disappointment that would last one day and at most one week.

 

[BigZiti09]

I don’t want to hear that bs excuse about the fans. It is bull****.

Our fans have been our worst enemy at times over the last 10 years.

Would be over before he took the podium.

Probably not referring to lower tier coaches though. Guys like Patterson and Mullen would have no reason to leave their current jobs just to deal with the Grude nuts.

 

[Aesius]

After. Gotta win that presser first. Which is apparently the easiest thing to do. Ever hear of a coach NOT winning the presser?

I will say though if these coaches are scared of a passionate, excited fan base then it’s probably best they aren’t coming. It takes a thick skinned person to make it in Knoxville

 

[Mullins2010]

Mora fired at UCLA

 

[BigZiti09]

A coach with low self esteem will get swallowed here. We saw that once the honeymoon ended with CBJ.

If anything the Gruden or bust from fans fear (if true, which I doubt) is gonna filter out the guys to weak to handle this program.

 

[buffaloblue]

Mora fired Chip Kelly to UCLA right?

I heard Hyams say that. He and those two coaches can take that and shove it right up their a$$es.

Watch that monsoon last night and please tell me how awful this fan base is. Please do. I sat in it. And somehow I’m the problem for dating to believe TN might take a chance to better its self and not just plow along in the narrative you suggest? F all the way off.

He and Ward are such smug pricks.

Ward thinks it’s funny to rile up people by pushing Fleck so F him too.

 

[volatil]

Mora fired at UCLA

That’s a big buyout they just paid

Rick Barnes.

Mic wasn’t working.

 

[MrVolton]

Better than Dan Mullen.

They had identical winning percentages vs. top 25 teams at the end of the season last year. Just saying.

 

[BigZiti09]

Probably not referring to lower tier coaches though. Guys like Patterson and Mullen would have no reason to leave their current jobs just to deal with the Grude nuts.

Yup. It’s an excuse you get from guys who wouldn’t come anyways.

 

[Aesius]

Rick Barnes.

Mic wasn’t working.

Lol, well, he won every presser after that.

 

[IhateGA]

So, UCLA fired Mora. Think that Kelly would go there?

It is. Just a weak excuse.

I am going with Jimmy on this...We probably have to pay big money to some coaches to even meet to discuss the job

A lot of coaches probably running away....kind of like the old Amway people when they came calling....you just hid somewhere....
I think Jimmy is right...EYEOPENER

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Where’s Nick Saban’s??? I kinda imagine he was born at 50 years of age. Hard to imagine young nick.

Nick was actually pretty swole as a young guy.

Dammit, Mullins Swansoned me
