Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

"we interviewed a ton of people and just couldn't find anyone that was a better fit than Will Friend"

can't wait.

Yeah but it makes bowl games less and less relevant and fun to watch. This years bowl games were absolutely awful outside 2 or 3.

Oh no doubt. I just don’t think I’m in position to be saying a players selfish(or in the wrong) for sitting just because it makes bowl games less enjoyable

"we interviewed a ton of people and just couldn't find anyone that was a better fit than Will Friend"

can't wait.

At this point, if he's good, who cares?

 

[Smokey123]

"Why? Because we were supposed to play. Because our universities expected us to play. Because our scholarships required us to play. Because we gave our word to our families and to ourselves that, every time we were on the field, we were going to leave everything on it. And equally as importantly as all of those reasons, because our teammates depended on us to play, and we were not going to abandon our brothers.

Because every game we played in our school jerseys mattered."

The same player who said this left for the NFL with another year to play

If the reports that he didn’t want the job were true then I definitely don’t want him to get the job.

If we promote Friend, how long will it take to hire a QB coach? Probably hear something by Groundhog Day, right?

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

I think Cleveland should keep him and believe Greg Williams would for certain. What if Williams doesn’t get the HC job? (I also do not see Kitchens getting the HC job)

Many new coaches want to bring their own staff. No guarantee a new coach would retainKitchens.

Bruce Arians was interviewed a couple of weeks back on Dan Patrick, I believe, and stated he woudl keep Kitchens as well.

well, i don't. like siap, he checks all the boxes.

now, would it have made A LOT more sense to just do that from the jump and skip all the hoopla? sure.

but if he turns out to be a good OC (and i still haven't seen anyone say that he actually wants the job now, previous reports state he didn'), then no one will care.

and i'm sure Phil is reminding him of what he did when he promoted cut and chavis, and what Saban did when he promoted Pruitt.

sometimes the right answer is right down the hall.

i dont' think it should take 6 weeks to make that walk mind you....................lol.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

CJP is just screwing with us now.

 

[Catbone]

Oh god its friend

 

[Brillovol]

Obligatory...

 

[Sleegro]

Seems like just last year everyone in here was freaking out because Pruitt took his time hiring a lowly WR coach. Those were simpler times. That did work out okay though. Maybe this will too.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

If we promote Friend, how long will it take to hire a QB coach? Probably hear something by Groundhog Day, right?

That or move my nemesis Weinke to QB coach, move Nieds to RB's and promote Lilly to TE's.

 

[InstrumentalVol]

I mean honestly if having Friend as OC helps continue bringing in OL players like Morris lets get to it already.

 

[Sleegro]

lol. i almost want it to be friend just to see this place explode.

Me too.

 

[buffaloblue]

Hahaha I doubt it’s friend

 

[jakez4ut]

Hahaha I doubt it’s friend

me too.

 

[McGeesPub]

#Browns have denied #NFL teams permission to interview Freddie Kitchens for their OC jobs, per @rapsheet. Does this mean he's picking up steam to be the Browns next head coach?

I don’t think so. I’m pretty sure the Browns are going to bring an outside candidate in, but want him to have the right of first refusal to keep FK as his OC.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

This thing is 95% wrapped up

 

[kiloVOLt]

Price has jokes.

 

[OrangenSC]

I hope he wasnt because there was absolutely no way that Kitchens was going to leave the NFL with the success he has had. Would be a demotion

Nothing personal, but somehow I think CJP knows more about what Kitchens is open to than you do.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Listening to WNML...Jimmy Hyams gets his information from Volnation!

My exact thought as I listed to Hyams today. Granted he did preface it with, "not a a lot of new news..." Just that one of his "sources" said don't count out Cheney. Recounted the QB coach issue at GA with Coley. Also mentioned the possibility of Miami hiring an OC before TN and cited Fedora and Applewhite as being on Diaz's list...which I think he was hinting at perhaps Coley would not get the call at Miami before Fedora or Applewhite.

 

[Catbone]

My question is... does no one want the job or does no one get along with Pruitt

 

[Batman1948]

When is the OC presser?

Soon
