Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLIX

[vol2002]

After sleeping on it I feel worse about this than when it was first announced.

I like Leach but there's no guarantee he succeeds.

There are no more grand slam hires. Those were done a week or so ago when it was clear we weren’t getting Petersen or Gruden. Anyone we get now won’t be a guarantee but Leach would be a bunch of fun. And I don’t think he’d have us losing to the bottom half of the SEC.

It’s reported that Jimmy said he didn’t think we’d meet with Leach. Uhhh Jimbo Feldman and Espn have confirmed we did.

100% guarantee you Feldman is money on this search, just follow his updates.

 

[BigOrange15]

Heather Harrington and Pat Ryan on State Run radio trashing the potential hire. Negas.

Why does everyone associated with this school hate winning? Are they scared to take a chance on success?
What the **** is wrong with people?

If it is being undermined by Haslam it’s time for more fan riots. Haslam has to go. Time to take to the rock and let the world know.

DO you feel the same way I do after here those words what four times now and want to get excited but almost expect then to screw it up?

Yup him and Hubbs have been money. Thamel broke that Doeren was staying at NCSU too

Yep. He’s super connected all over the country. So he’s not limited to UTAD or UT boosters. He’s getting it from all sides.

It’s 5:25am in Washington. Just waiting until around 11 when Feldman tweets Source: TN and Mike Leach have reached agreement

My suspicion is that Hyams knows that the "Board" (Haslam) won't approve the hire.

 

[BigOrange15]

So who is painting the skull and crossbones on the rock this morning?

 

[zballvol]

Where’s our protesters at? We need a PROtest for Leach.

Jimmy doesn't know at all

I just don't understand. Do they not realize there is barely anyone left that would or is a real candidate for the job. At that rate they would have to hire hs coach

 

[DD4ME]

If anyone is still having site issues with pop ups etc I can attest that an app called HI security has provided me clear sailing and is useful regardless.

 

[Kingston Vol]

He's going to have to be committed to running the ball more. That's just a fact.

His staff, besides the DC, does not impress me at all. He'll have to replace more than half those guys to be successful recruiting in this conference.

I don't think elite high school players are going to want to play for him. He'll get good players, I have no doubt. But the cream of the crop? I have my doubts.

I asked around and I don't think the current players are happy about it at all after Sumlin's name was floated.

Listen, I like Leach and think he's a very good X's and O's coach and I will support him. I just hope he'll be able to get the talent to succeed here. We'll need a very deep defensive roster in order to keep up with our offense. The defense will be on the field a lot vs. a lot of power running teams.

Man that would be great to see!

Yep.

Leech doesn't seem like a "Yes Sir, Mr. Haslam" kinda guy.

No offense but you’ve batted .100 since posting here.

 

[IhateGA]

Ugh, I was hoping to wake up to a brighter future. Getting that sick feeling again.

He has been pretty unreliable this search. I will roll with Hubbs on the notion about the Brohm deal not even close.
