Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Ron Swanson]

I would be very surprised we end up with any coach that we don't have to Google. Of course it's hard to do much worse than Holly. Unless you get a Holly that can't recruit. I just don't see them spending what it will take to get a proven winner.

No offense but 99.9% of us would have to google any new HC hire for womens bball unless it was the dude from Connecticut.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I would hire Dawn Staley

Zero chance that happens.

USC adds major incentive for Dawn Staley to stick around

 

[jbcollins]

i had to google "the dude from Connecticut"

I would say 99% would be high. There are many of us that follow and care about the lady Vols and Pat Summit's legacy.

So much that you know most of the HC names in women's ball? I doubt 99% do. But I don't care enough to argue that point. Carry on...

Yea, I realize you and others follow the lady Vols either passively or not at all. I don't know many beyond the top 10-15 or so. I still think 99% is high. Maybe 90%.

We're almost good again, aren't we?

Isn't the Kentucky women's coach a Tennessee guy?

Why woudnt he be in play?

 

[butchna]

It can't be Cowan. Tennessee is listed as "cool" under his offer list on 247.

Thanks buddy! :wink:

He worked here as a grad assistant under Pat back around 2000. He makes a little under $900,000. He might be attainable but im not sure we will lay $1mil for a women's s basketball coach. My choice would be Jeff Walz at Louisville. He makes about $1.2mil so he's probably out of our price range too. Holly make about $685K if I recall correctly. I think we'll see a mid major coach and pay them about that.

Good form on those squats (in b4 no reps, not ATG crew). If he's doing hitting that weight with good form at this stage in his young career, just wait to see how strong he'll be after 2-3 years in an SEC S&C program.

Some seem to think that the Lady Vol faithful will not accept a man as a head coach. I think its stupid. If someone is the best candidate it shouldn't matter what gender you are.

99.9% is low IMO.

Well lets get them into a small room and persuade them otherwise.

sounds good, but I really rather spend my time elsewhere than women's basketball. You head it up Newt and let me know how it goes.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, not me. We would just wind up having a Bukowski poetry read followed by cocktails and a viewing of Boogie Nights.

That dudes name is....let me look it up.

 

[volinbama256]

I remember when we would get a group together from the fraternity house and walk over to TBA to watch the Lady Vols whip ass... with NO doubt we would whip ass and didn't care who we were playing... It was just as much fun watching Pat OWN TBA than the game itself. Saw maybe 2 men's games in four years... Most of us do not keep up with the coaches, and I fully admit I've lost just about all interest since year 2 of Holly, but I think there is still time to get us back to a premier women's program if we can get the right coach NOW.

 

[Riverratvolfan]

Yeah its tragic. Staying with grandparents in Lakeland while here for work. Chain on chain on chain. Anyone know a good lunch spot in Jackson? Have to go there on Wednesday

KC Finn prolly has the best burgers. Pretty good food just not your normal sit in restaurant

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Bad from what we are capable of. I remember uncharacteristic bad defense and turnovers that just didnt happen in January

There is a huge difference in saying we didn't play as well as we are capable, and saying we played "Bad"

Once again...if we played "bad"...we would have gotten ran out of the building, not lost questionably by two stinkin points..in freakin overtime..on the road..to a top 20 team full of excellent athletes.

I have witnessed some of the best sports teams in history get waxed when they actually played "bad"

We as a fanbase need to be careful of saying that, or even really thinking it.

Global warming only became a problem once we invented cows and let them fart all the time now we got a crisis on our hands.

Lol, you know I’m seeing that hip crease too high.

Personally I’ve started to keep an inch above parallel because I’m tired of my SI Joint sending me into spasm every two months. Killing my ego, knowing folks be judging, but I’m injury free for the present

Nobody squats over age 35 that has a lick of sense.

SIAP. Peyton Manning is a national treasure.
