Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Cosmo Kramer]

This guy must be a Vol fan (Bassmaster) hanging out on Volnation getting impatient with no OC in place

Money isn’t close to the most important thing with coaches now. And look at the jobs their past OCs have taken. USM, WVU.

Biggest takeaway today is in the Ubben article. How he explained the CEO approach of Gundy and compared it to Pruitts all work/all the time approach. An increase in income would be great but if Yurcich thrives under that type of philosophy, he may not be the best fit for us. I’ve been self employed for 10 years now and work when I want, from where I want and it doesn’t affect how much I make. I can’t imagine going back to job where my days and hours were never-ending. No amount of money is worth giving up that kind of freedom.

Yes, money is almost always at the top of the list of importance, especially when talking millions of dollars. Is it always the #1 thing? No, of course not.

Are you trying to say that Pruitt has offered the job to one or more candidates and he's been turned down? Because there is no one reporting that to be the case.

 

[JCP201]

Sooo, Briles still hasn’t been announced at FSU......

They keep saying he's coming but they appear to be in the same holding pattern as us.

Cannot underestimate the loyalty factor for Yurcich's situation given how he was hired. We might do well to start thinking outside the box ourselves. In that vein I have been excited to see Pruitt willing to go aggressive in who he has interviewed.

I may be wrong but I really think based on timing that Pruitt was hoping to land Enos. That is 100% subjective and likely false but it would tie some things up from a timing perspective.

Whoever Pruitt and Fulmer supports I support, and if that drags this out then so be it, but I am hesitant to be confident it will be a slam dunk situation given this search.

 

[Ron Swanson]

I wish I had something concrete to give you guys. I wish I knew more and wish it would be over.

I think Tennessee would very much like to keep things more quiet after the info of who was interviewing/interviewed on Friday got out.

Surely you aren't suggesting that has not been a possibility at all.

My take - it ain't going great and we'd like to tighten up the PR.

I don’t want to assume. And last time we had a coaching search the media reported we were turned down almost daily, IIRC.

Hmmmmm

 

[JAllen18]

At this point I dont think the early signing day is a factor and Pruitt will take as long as he needs in getting the guy thats the best fit.

That sucked worse. I am good with hitting chill and waiting it out, but wether said or unsaid I think we all know where we are at.

 

[Hammer85]

Chief is Santa, Santa is Chief?

 

[DD4ME]

I don't think we offered Lebby, Briles, or Freeze. I think we wanted Freeze until the background. Chaney was likely a pipe dream.
I think we wanted Enos and Yurich. That still leaves Lebby, maybe Briles, and whatever new candidates.

 

[jakez4ut]

I don't think it's yurcich then.

 

[Souce]

Just gimme a drink.

 

[jakez4ut]

Chief is Santa, Santa is Chief?

 

[Voltrapnbama]

I find it hard to believe that he hasn’t wanted a single candidate that we’ve interviewed so far. I feel like the issue is nobody wanting the job.

Am I reading that wrong?

No. Regardless if some do not want to say so, there is some reason for concern. BVS or not

 

[JCP201]

It's truly better this way, at least we aren't a laughing stock, (if it WAS going the way it did last time)

I do agree with that.
The ship seems tightened up quite a bit.
