What did I miss? On break

No DD2.0, Sumlin will be the next guy to gut punch us. Jimmy H owes Kevin Steele some money or something.

Bass, just curious, what's your Boat/motor set up?

I drive a very old boat. I can’t afford these boats they selling, too expensive. So I have a project boat. Bought a 1988 hull and put an old evinrude 70 horse motor my papaw had on the back. I spend my money on electronics and tackle. The boat just gets me on the water. But it runs great and takes me where I need to go

Never heard of it

Dont get the "Pruitt would have us on probation" argument. So what. Usually means we would've had some success before the Ncaa Pinkertons caught us. Then what???? They have proven to be weak kneed when handing out penalties

 

[Nationdom]

Sumlin would get to trade ole Miss, Mississippi State, Arkansas, and LSU/Auburn for South Carolina, Vandy, Kentucky, and Missouri.

Now let that sink in for just a minute. The man would be able to win here

UGA, Florida, Alabama. Can he even beat at least one of those semi consistently? Why not take a chance with Tee, Lane, Leach? 8-4 is no better than 6-6 because if we don't beat any of those 3 teams it's a failed season anyways.

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

I think Sumlin's name is being floated out of nowhere like Gundy's name was out of nowhere. It is damage control until they move onto the next crap candidate. I know nothing and hope that I'm wrong, but Currie and Haslam are hell bent on a crap hire. We can't let them.

Bass, just curious, what's your Boat/motor set up?

I can't speak for Bass, but i run a 21xd Bullet with a 300 Mercury Optimax. I volunteer to take Les fishing when he takes our job.

 

[volatil]

Sumlin would kill recruiting in this state.

Had a couple players from Middle Tennessee on his roster at A&M.


Pay the man. Let’s go

 

[RiseToTheTop]

I like how Nationdom and Bass keep competing for who will say the stupidest **** on any given day here in the forum. Nationdom has clearly taken the lead.

nationdom told us Dan Mullen for sure lives on a plantation ha

 

[tomq_123]

I told myself I wasn't going to get on VolNation today and actually get some work done. Oh well!!!

 

[jave36]

For. Those using the rare, rare success of someone like Dabo, he was coaching at a P5 school for 15 years before he took over Clemson. Tee has coached for 8. He is just not ready to take over a huge job like this. It's rare enough to succeed without HC experience at a smaller school, but this is even less realistic

he beat florida this yr in gainesville with a decent to bad young team. how did we do? we got beat at the buzzer for the 2nd straight time in gville.

 

[pierce60]

Sweet, can I play this game? If you take Manziel away from Sumlin then let's take Peyton away from Fulmer......or better yet, let's take Tee Martin away from Fulmer.

 

[MSCE09]

The only thing that makes Sumlin make sense. He thought he had ASU as a backup for FSU. ASU moved on without him and Jimbo now looks like he may stay. If he wants a job, we have an opening and will probably over pay for it.

 

[LotteryPick]

Gundy and Sumlin situations are very different. No comparison.

May still say no but the sentiment remains. One is jobless, the other is a life'r at OkState.

 

[StoVol]

Never heard of it

Is that a fact Jack!

 

[SeanJean]

Sumlin is very Butch Jonesy, but I'd still rather have him than Butch. More than anything, I really just want Tee wearing orange next year one way or another, and I'm not confident that happens with Sumlin, which doesn't have me excited.

 

[WinginFlorida]

What did I miss? On break

On break from what? I'm the hall monitor today and I've already caught Volatil and Face texting in class.

 

[jordan4vols]

I think it should also be noted that he had to go against Ole Miss at the height of the rebels football success. His schedule at Tennessee would be incredibly easier

 

[Big Sun]

This. Think leftfield, imo.

I hear ya, the price of bass boats has gotten stupid in the last 10 years. Why the he!! anyone would pay 50-70K for a boat to go catch some fish is beyond me. Was only asking because I work in the marine industry.

 

[JAllen18]

If Currie won't go after Kiffin or Les Miles. I'll roll with Sumlin. Needs to bring a good DC. His defenses were trash at A&m.

 

[LaagerVol]

I think Sumlin could consistently go 9-3, 10-2 in the east. He would recruit well. Who would be his DC? Would he be able to take that next step and get us to 11-12 wins?

At this point hire the man

I’m told Browns owner, and Tennessee booster, Jimmy Haslam, has been personally calling members of the Tennessee legislature who were critical of Schiano hire and telling them: “You don’t make the Tennessee hire, we do.”
