Recruiting Forum Football Talk LI

[FieldGeneral59]

We are in no way shape or form a top 15 program anymore. Top 25 can even be debated.

This is pathetic.

This search definitely opened up a lot of people's eyes as to where we are now. One good season can change that though.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Don't care about Morris going to Arky.

Long as it's not Steele I think we're fine.

No we're not. We have a top 3 of coaches that haven't been in the mix for a single other job.

We have failed for the fourth straight search in a row.

 

[LaagerVol]

Why?

How does a 9-36 coach stabilize a program???? Like Butch did? Like Fooley did???

 

[engineerVOL]

Of course they did.

Has Trey Wallace changed his tune yet?

 

[volamite86]

It makes you wonder what Leach did? The James stuff still hurting him? I wouldn't think so as it seems to be mostly made up.

I honestly think it’s his personality. He’s a quarky dude. Doesn’t jive well with big wigs at most large institutions. Would kill it if given the chance. Perhaps Oregon will give him a chance.

I don’t see a good season in the foreseeable future

THAT would be awesome. Leach at Oregon.

Yeah, it has a chance to destabilize it. He will probably tank here and the talent could be so bad you end up in a situation where no one wants to be here like after Dooley. This time should have been different after the 9 win seasons and some talent on the roster, but it was all botched.

 

[omghulkhands]

Wonder if Trey Biddy ever met the Loch Ness Monster...

 

[therickbol]

We are hiring Steele.

It is amusingly amazing how often posters make definitive statements, with obv no actual knowledge, and are wrong. But yet not deterred to jump right back in and do the same thing again. Batting average wouldn't even be impressive for the Bucksnort little league B-division.

 

[engineerVOL]

My vision of Steele at the Orange and White game...

Hey! You leave Bucksnort out of this!

How does anyone believe anything coming from 247, Hubbs, etc... just a day or two ago les Miles was a candidate for the job and was reported he had been contacted. Guys relax and wait till something is signed before giving in to the doom and gloom

The James smear campaign, his personality, and probably his lawsuit against TTU are major factors.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Lol morris telling people he will target Venables as DC. No wonder phil passed. Probably like does he not know I'm talking to him too

 

[therickbol]

I agree and I’m pissed too but I love this basketball team. The one thing I can be proud of as a Tennessee fan right now.

And for perspective a large percentage of the fanbase hated the hire when it was made.

 

[orangefreak21]

How about we hire a coach before we jump to conclusions?

 

[omghulkhands]

Define “large percentage”

 

[HankHill]

Morris making Venables his top priority targeting a DC to join him at Arkansas. Lol

 

[snowvols]

Morris is trying to get Venables to join him at Arkansas.

 

[omghulkhands]

Morris making Venables his top priority targeting a DC to join him at Arkansas. Lol

Lol good luck with that

 

[Ron Swanson]

Morris making Venables his top priority targeting a DC to join him at Arkansas. Lol

Hopefully he settles for Steele.

 

[TNDCVol]

Keeping the faith! I like it!

Waste of time. Gets his buddy a raise maybe.

He should go after Kevin Steele.
