Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVII

[BigZiti09]

It’s all about getting the right guy in the right place at the right time.

These guys aren’t brain surgeons. Outside of Meyer and Saban the majority of them are not special. They are just coaches.

Get a guy who can get players here. That’s key.

Tee would need to be Dabo. Not a coordinator really. Players coach and recruiter who builds a great staff.

Yep.

Tee and a rockstar staff. Tee and an average staff sounds like trouble to me. Setting him up to fail IMO

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Elite recruiter. Has connections deep in the south and now California. Highly thought of and liked nationally.

Could bring in a good staff from usc and sec.

Hiring a HC is something where you can almost throw the resume out. It’s more about fit and traits. Butchs resume destroys Tees.

all facts

 

[HankHill]

What a horrible decision to hire him. Akin to winning the lottery. Has never happened in the history of college or professional football. Will never happen again.

Mike tomlin....

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Why can we not just hire Brohm?

 

[LotteryPick]

Tee would need to be Dabo. Not a coordinator really. Players coach and recruiter who builds a great staff.

And I think he's capable of doing this.

Ding ding ding.

Betting on Pruitt being our next HC.

Hank,

With names like Schiano and Pruitt, it sounds to me one of the goals of the search is to find someone to make the team much tougher. Or is that simply coincidental?

 

[Ron Swanson]

Tee would need to be Dabo. Not a coordinator really. Players coach and recruiter who builds a great staff.

Exactly this. Needs top shelf OC and DC to go along with top notch SEC coaches and recruiters.

Same with Orgeron. Never been a DC. Goes from coaching D line to head coach overnight. He learned on the job not to meddle with your top 5 offensive coordinator against Troy. Besides that debacle, they've been pretty decent.

 

[Catbone]

Why can we not just hire Brohm?

Because Haslam, Davenport, and Currie.

Ok who would he get as coordinators because that would be what’s most important. Who has he worked with that would be good coordinators for him?

Clemson has rolled through offense coordinators and haven’t missed a beat. Maybe it’s Dabo??

 

[BJWeeks]

I bet Witten would come in as TE coach

 

[LaagerVol]

104.5 in nashville has been good. They have been railing Currie, Haslems, and the Admin. Says Phil has to be part of sales pitch going forward.

Dan Wetzel about to be on. Tool.

I’m glad Mark wasn’t on this morning. Had a feeling he would be all about trashing us.

 

[Aesius]

Because Haslam, Davenport, and Currie.

Maybe we will get lucky and Tee will be incredible. And his tenure here will outlast the Haslams.

 

[volsnvikes]

I can see Tee being a Dabo type hire. Top notch recruiter but may need time to grow. Provide him with money and good assistants and hope he grows up quick.

I agree. It took Dabo a couple of years to get going and I think he needs good coordinators but Man can he recruit.

If it’s Tee will we be willing to wait 3 years to see results. Or 5 even?

 

[snowvols]

Why do we care if the coach is an ass?


Most great coaches are A class ass holes.

I know he has a bad reputation in GA. He couldn't even get along with Mark Richt.

 

[Catbone]

I think it's their recruiting and QBs

 

[amazingGRACE]

I've always been confused at the notion that Dabo "gets out of the way" & basically does nothing.

*Not saying that's what Ron was implying

 

[SeanJean]

Same with Orgeron. Never been a DC. Goes from coaching D line to head coach overnight. He learned on the job not to meddle with your top 5 offensive coordinator against Troy. Besides that debacle, they've been pretty decent.

He was literally the HC at Ole Miss and interim HC at USC. It's his third time as HC.

So we are just completely dismissing resumes now?

Dabo sleeps in a hammock while his assistants run fall camp.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Exactly this. Needs top shelf OC and DC to go along with top notch SEC coaches and recruiters.

We can do it. We won't have to pay Tee a ton. We can go get Kevin Steele for DC and allow Tee to hire an OC he's comfortable with.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

Why can we not just hire Brohm?

We can, he doesn't want this job IMO. If he did, it would be done today.
