Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLIX

No way man. There is no way he is hiring a coach that was fired for striking a player.

He had already hired him at K St before Snyder nixed it. He will have him apologize and say it was a long time ago.

 

[Orange Studs]

He doesn't even call plays, he doesn't have his own offense. He is struggling getting hired by the south Alabama's and he southerns of the world. There is so much more that goes into being the head coach other than hiring a good staff. It would end in disaster and he would hate TN, and many of the fans would hate him. It's not a good idea.

Same reason why Peyton said he would never coach here.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Some reporter twitted that he wasn't interested. Not sure how reliable the guy is.

Gottlieb. He's an idiot though.

 

[IhateGA]

Don't get your hopes up.

 

[BruinVol]

Do you think if they interview him he is pretty much a done deal?

That's the way I think it should be handled. If it got out he was getting an interview the masses would explode with support. Can't interview him until it's a done deal

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Wonder who the others were.

Mora Jr was one, I bet.

 

[Orange And Garnet]

Who is Leach’s agent

 

[Orange Studs]

Gottlieb. He's an idiot though.

Exactly what the person said that posted it. lol

 

[snowvols]

Leach would not be able to recruit here. He isn't going to land 4 and 5 star guys.

 

[BruinVol]

Prove he doesn't call plays

He calls 1st and 2nd down. If 3rd down is a pass play Helton calls them. That's what was said on radio a few days ago

Here's an article, it's a team effort.

This search has me ready to throw my hands up and hire him but honestly I don’t think he’s ready.

Plus side is I think he would recruit really well. Talent wins games. And it also insures the program doesn’t bottom out like we have done in the past.

Say what? You win games recruits will come

So do we think Sumlin probably turned us down but quietly this time?

Kingston said Hubbs & Hyams on radio earlier made it seem we "weren't moving off him til he said no"

 

[InVOLuntary]

I don't think Doeren was a Sexton client either.

 

[crazyguy]

I'm on board. Tennessee, hire Les Miles and end this coach search debacle once and for all | NCAA Football | Sporting News

I think he basically declined to talk to us. Politely said he wasn't interest during a phone call

I honestly think that jimmy is locked out of this one. He did own up to his mistake on the radio though.

I think Armstrongs office is near LA

I can see that. Every indication had him not coming back into the SEC, and this would seem like the exact scenario that would keep him away.
