Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

UT video department at it again.

“I stand by what I said before. Tennessee knows what they are going to do at OC. Maybe it’s a coach that’s coaching for a championship, maybe there’s a buyout to work through, but they know who they are going to hire.”- Doug Mathews

For those asking

Lol.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

So Chip Long? What's the connection to Pruitt? Did they both go to the same North Alabama HS?

 

[RiotVol]

I always find myself crying like a baby after I listen to Electric Funeral from Black Sabbath.

For serious, "Changes" by Black Sabbath always hits me in the feels, just like being a UT fan hits you in the nads.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Fulmer never told him a name and Doug said he didn't ask for one. I don't know what Long makes at ND but I bet UT would bump it and he likes the Southeast better. I also would like to hear from TW or Tidal Surge on what some of their message boards were saying before Saban promoted Enos.

Long would be awesome. He doesn't know who it is, but Doug's not lying, they know who they're hiring. We'll know when they want us to. No reason to worry about it.

 

[SpringBokVol]

I didn’t actually like that video.

Not one of their best IMO

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Chip Long

What kind of offense does Long run? I haven't watched ND. Also, is he a QB coach?

 

[BJSforVols]

Did the championship part come from Matthews too?

No

[drvenner]

Anyone else see this? I know it’s prob coincidental, but the timing of this video, which is clearly aimed at mothers, sure seems to mirror OP and what could have been.

Wow!

 

[engineerVOL]

So, in all seriousness... Jim Chaney had stomach reduction surgery... so how did this happen?

 

[BJSforVols]

Yes but he was clearly using hypotheticals. From what I heard from him he doesn't know who the choice is just that it's been made

Nor does he know why it hasn’t been announced yet.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Lol.

DM is FOS

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

How about grab your Bible and a stiff drink. If your Baptist just dont let a fellow Baptist see you. SINNER. LOL.

I listened to the interview last week. When I heard this I was like wahhh? How can you not ask? And Fulmer won’t tell his confidant who it is? Maybe he didn’t want to out Doug in an uncomfortable predicament of knowing.

It was just okay.

 

[quadlee21]

Been of the loop for a few hours. Quick check in on Volnation. Looks like it's going to be a big recruiting weekend

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Lol.

I dont think he knows anything at all. Just posting what he said. Ha

 

[engineerVOL]

I probably shouldn't post this because I think Probst is far fetched but let's for a second say he was the choice.

It would be in our best interest to keep that quiet as long as possible for recruiting purposes. Recruits wouldn't handle that news well and our rivals would eat it up.

So you’re a HC and come to the conundrum that this hire is so embarrassing you conceal it... only to go ahead and move forward with it?

Do you have his original quote?

 

[SpringBokVol]

 

[BruinVol]

I don’t think they would hire a guy if they believed it would be a big negative to recruiting. Also don’t think they would hide that from recruits. If you like a guy enough to hire him as OC, you believe your recruits will like him as well.

Maybe but last year we kept our RB coach on Board until after NSD knowing we were firing him. That had to be for recruiting purposes

 

[RikidyBones]

So, in all seriousness... Jim Chaney had stomach reduction surgery... so how did this happen?

So Chaney is that fat guy that can only eat two slices of an apple before hes like "oooh I'm full boys, great eats"

 

[HankHill]

Oh i know that wasn’t directed at you. I just think it’s honestly laughable that this is all part of some master plan that we interviewed a handful of candidates while the whole time we got this secret mystery person behind door #1 who we are just waiting to announce.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Do you have his original quote?

That was the quote straight from twitter from the radio station
