Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLVIII (New Coach Edition)

[scvolfan7]

What’s crazy is they’re thinking of offering a guy about to get fired in Doreen when a guy who would crawl from California and bled and gave his all on the field is begging for the job and we still haven’t talked to him.

Almost makes me want to cry. It’s just so. Damn. Frustrating. A man that loves this university and brought a national title here is being treated like dog sh*t by a bunch of no-nothing losers who don’t give a damn about this university. The only thing they care about is money. I want to take solace in knowing that when they screw this hire up they’ll lose a bunch of money but I can’t. I think of the guys at volquest and radio personalities like swain who are going to be financially affected by this and it just makes the whole thing even more depressing. What a **** existence this has become for UT fans

Kevin Steele is 60 years old. What’s the best case with him? 5-7 years. Just NO NO NO

You have got to hire Miles before Steele unless Tee does come under Steele and eventually take over. I know. I know. Hate coach in waiting but this time desperate times call for desperate actions.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Tee would literally have every former player pumped as hell, recruits paying attention, fans coming together. But theyll hire 60 yr old Steele instead and we will do this again in 3 yrs.

Best hire we can make right now is Tee

 

[TNDCVol]

Phil doesn't think T is ready.

Sounds like Phil doesn't want to help groom him if he was hired.

 

[engineerVOL]

Phil doesn't think T is ready.

Sounds familar

**cough** Jamal Lewis ***cough**

I keed i keed.

Yea but by then Tee will have 2-3 years experience as a HC

 

[DeepPurpleFloyd]

Lol. Contestant number 6 come on down. Your turn to publicly humiliate VN.

Remember back in the good ole days when super-secret ninja Currie was going to pull Jon Gruden out of his hat as soon as he got home from his vacation in the Bahamas. All while other schools would be fumbling for candidates and being publicly scorned.

 

[JCP201]

We are getting down to the dirt clods now.

 

[drylo]

At this point, you flash enough money to get Brohm or Morris to say yes. Period. Enough money and one of them will do it. Give them a $10m signing bonus. I don’t care. Just keep the buyout reasonable — as long as that’s the case, UT should not bat an eye at the rest of it.

 

[InVOLuntary]

He ain't coming. Will rehab his career at USF and hop back into a P5 job soon.

Lol, I thought we were a p5 job.

 

[DD4ME]

Phil doesn't think T is ready.

And he isn't. Not in the least. Les is the only "qualified" guy to run an operation this large. Steele isn't. Brohm isn't.

But Tee puts asses in seats, recruits, rejuvinates a split fan base, and allows some good will for bad seasons. Who is going to swallow a Kevin Steel 3-9 season and be around in 5 years? Who?

 

[RiseToTheTop]

might as well do it here. we are at the damn bottom of the SEC anyways so who cares. Let him have it.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Did you ever think it would get to the point that Doeren would excite you?

 

[orangefreak21]

Damn you Butch Jones

 

[jjay2518]

Accurate

 

[LA Vol]

We're losing altitude. Grab your flotation device and prepare for impact. Won't be long now.

 

[DD4ME]

Let's be real damn clear. After Steel there will not be a next time.

 

[CoaxialOrange]

Hyams said he interviewed today when Currie was in Dallas.

Feldman

 

[BruinVol]

I haven't seen the post but buddy of mine said Hubbs made a comment a few days ago that he wasn't sure Tee had the work ethic for this job.

We have rumors of that along with Fulmer and Manning not supporting him. I'd said that is eye opening

 

[tnmarktx]

I have some questions for the Tee supporters. Will you still support him if his best win total is 6 within the next 3-5 years? How about if he won 3 next year? Do you expect him to kill it here? Do you just love him because he played at UT?

Peyton was down with Schiano so

 

[McGeesPub]

Lol, I thought we were a p5 job.

I figured that was intentional by the OP.

 

[JacketVol]

It's time to offer the job to Tee. Looks like only a VFL will take this job. Make Kevin Steele the highest paid DC and watch the recruiting average rank right around the top 5 for the next couple of years, especially with the high school talent in Tennessee, being at an all time high for the next 3 recruiting classes and maybe from a now on. Tee will bring in enough talent to overcome any learning pains as a 1st time head coach.

Think about it. How could Tee be a worse in game coach than Butch. No freaking way he could be worse. Hire the man you idiots because no one else wants to work for you da's. Screw Steele as a head coach. Sure his name is being floated for reaction. Well how about no way ever.

Lolol. How would Hubbs know that at all. Ridiculous. He’s on the Broyles award watch list.

we are going to blow anyways. Nobody expect us to be good next yr. we all know it. we have like 4 scholarship OL for gods sake. I mean you wanna go 3-9 with 60 yr old Kevin Steele? thats what excites you?
