Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVIII (New Coach Edition)

[Nashvegas31]

Tee Martin is BEGGING for this job..

Les Miles waiting for that phone call.

Les must have some bad stuff on him somewhere to get zero calls

 

[Big Sun]

The Haslams ruined the program and this coach search... not what the fans did Sunday.

Bahama John and the Haslams gots to ****ing go.

 

[skeeter33418]

So is the UT plane in the air heading west? Was it ever confirmed? If so, who in the hell could it be out there? Morris maybe?
When boosters don't know whats going on and after seeing what transpired sunday, this is just strange.

Straight to the point.

 

[snowvols]

I can't believe that dumbass did this in public. There is no one we could get near Gundy so whoever it is will be a huge step down. He is done and the next coach, unfairly or not, is set up to be a failure. I wouldn't come here if I was an up and comer.

 

[BigOrange15]

Im out. See you guys when we hire some jr. high coach. **** this.

 

[Nashvegas31]

I assume Currie probably isn't the most confident sales person at the moment in a room with a coach. Doubt he gives off a genuine vibe. He needs to be removed completely

 

[Catbone]

Jimmy Hyams says we aren't even going after Brohm now.

We are so screwed

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Taggart
Sumlin
Brohm

Taggart

Career suicide for any of those guys to come here right now.

Skeeter, we both know Haslam is still pulling the strings and everyone is just along for the ride.

 

[volfanCLT]

Remember when we were all excited for a coaching search and who we could get because this job was so much better than 2012?

I member

 

[JCP201]

People keep saying this and things like we'll never attract a good coach now after Sunday. But it's a moot point because we weren't getting a good before Sunday, we were getting Schiano.

I would happily do it again.

We finally got rid of a screaming idiot and then we going to hire another one worse and stuck with him for years?

 

[i2amavol]

Brohm is a fantastic young coach.

Morris is solid.

Venables, Pruitt, Durkin = give me Fulmer as interim and keep looking.

Brohm, Venables, Tee (with killer OC/DC), Petersen?, Taggart, Gruden...There's still plenty of good choices out there. No reason to get desperate yet.

For everyone who is experiencing Vol Football fatigue, I get it. Go do something else for a while. We'll let you know when we get you a good coach. We just don't need to panic. There are still a ton of good options.

Just remember: Alabama had egg all over their face. It didn't look good at all. They were being ridiculed in the media. Then, they hired Saban.

I roll with (sorry) Hyams and Hubbs. They both say Steele and Morris.

It's one of them.

For the second time in three hires, we are getting a head coach with an all-time losing record.

 

[InVOLuntary]

And coaching for a fan base like this.

Yea bruin we get it. You hate our fans. You hate our fans that show up in a monsoon to support our 4 in team with a interim coach. You hate our fans that show up 60k strong for a spring game or a preseason practice. You hate our fans that travel in drives to lower teir bowl games. You hate our fans that support mediocre teams and coaches for years on end. You hate our fans we get it. Go cheer for a team that doesn't give a damn.

 

[John Wick]

I'm not even disappointed. I'm just kind of numb...

 

[volatil]

I could name minimum 50 posters on here that could have done a better job on this hire than John Currie.

 

[LA Vol]

Two things UT must never, ever do again: approach Gruden or Gundy to coach at UT. After a decade of deja vu, surely we can learn that one simple lesson. Surely.

 

[Volwark]

I assume Currie probably isn't the most confident sales person at the moment in a room with a coach. Doubt he gives off a genuine vibe. He needs to be removed completely

He is most likely shell shocked. In an interview, he probably sits there shaking, stuttering, fumbling over his words with shifty eyes and pouring sweat.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

An interim would set us back a year. A desperation hire could set us back 4-5 years and cost millions. If we don't have any strong prospects, we have to take a hard look at cutting our losses. An unimpressive hire isn't going to save this recruiting class, anyway.

How in the hell do you think yew are going to pull a "Impressive" hire next year with a death penalty roster?

Program suicide to drop below that. Obviously, Tee would take it.

Maybe there is somebody out there we haven't seen who wants a change.

 

[csprig9]

I'm done getting my hopes up, Tennessee football is a waste of time anymore...I'm just gonna wait till it pops up on ESPN and then decide if I wanna cheer for this ****show anymore... Good luck to you guys, but Currie and the haslems have killed my love of Tennessee volunteers football.

 

[vol81]

It has to be tee now. Nowhere else to turn with any upside
