Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Negotiate a lump sum buyout. Save on taxes.

Yes sir.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

I would've been fine with that years ago as well, but now its time to take the chance.

We're not to that point yet

That he would have failed at Texas Tech AND the NFL.

Pete Carrol “failed” in the NFL the first time too and I feel like he did ok at USC. I’d give him a shot before 90% of the coaches that be been mentioned if he were available. But it’s an absolute pipe dream.

 

["It's Time"]

Had failed at Ole Miss and done well (on an interim basis) at USC. Way less calculated risk involved.

I’m not sure if you’re serious. This post proved my post correct. Complete failure, followed by small success as interim.

I repeat, NOBODY at LSU thought, maybe they hoped, he would win a natty. Which, LSU is the second best program in the conference, so that puts our job and the prospects for our job in perspective for me.

Anyone with a pulse is better than Pruitt

exactly

 

[RikidyBones]

OK. I'm on the train of get Herman over here and not waiting until he's fired. Perception, momentum, decent offense, can restart on staff and it's a decent name from a P5 power house.

SIAP but I don't recall us talking about this...View attachment 328398

Seems like Finabaum said a few weeks back not to Be surprised if Saban was around another 7-8 years.

Wouldn’t that beat all for Urban to court Texas then jump ship for Bama.

They won’t have same success they’ve been having but they won’t be hurting either. They will have pick of the litter.

I’ve always thought Dabo wait it out for the next one or maybe two coaches to go in and muck it up, then ride into town as the savior of the program (Saban 2.0). He’s a demigod at Clemson so he’s got plenty of time to sit and wait.

Players seem to love him. He's responded to adversity when his QB went down. I think he's a solid coach.

Agree with all that and wouldn't be completely against it. Just would prefer we don't go that route again.
Hell, who am I kidding, we could hire @Catbone and I'd have myself convinced we were winning the SEC by august.

 

[engineerVOL]

No matter what Saban does, he’s not the best ... Jimmy Johnson, Pete Carroll, Barry Switzer, and Urban Meyer are all better football coaches. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. I’ll accept no facts or stats to convince me otherwise.

 

[butchna]

Get him an Elite staff and let Tee be the CEO. HE doesn't seem to have the ego Pruitt does.

Not necessarily a good thing. Dabo is an example of going this route. And if he doesn’t have a huge ego, he has a helluva lot of confidence! When Tee was hired, I posted that I believed he was being brought back to be groomed as a candidate for HC opportunities. Not this one this soon! It’s a giveup. He hasn’t built a rep that would command respect. Pruitt was a DC with multiple NC’s on his resume. Position coaches of some note had worked for him. Even higher level of difficulty for Tee.

 

[Geronimo]

I really want that coach that wins all his games.
What’s his name again? Oh yeah, the coach in my head that wins all the games.

Let’s sign him for life and ride.

I figured since none of us agree, my suggestion might unite us.

Any objections?

 

[SpringBokVol]

Don’t think Google is required currently...unless you’re in Afghanistan.

I didn’t know who he was.

So start off with a failure at UT? Which one of us isn’t being serious?

True, but I don't remember Dabo having this ego until he began winning. And I think the respect thing comes more from Fulmer and that's why we need VFL's and people with ties to the program in the coordinator positions early. I get it, its not a splash hire and it seems like another retread that's not going to work out, but with the right plan and nurturing from Phil I think it could work out.

 

[Dudley Smith]

The way USC is playing it looks like Clay Helton will be around another year. That's one job that won't be affecting the market.

If we hire Scott Satterwhite, he'd probably get Dale Jones to come coach linebackers.

After this past weekend? Is it cold in Kabul?

It’s a stupid hire. Hope it doesn’t happen.

Dale never leaves Boone again...even when he retires.

Misery loves company.
Vol football and UK basketball fans.

 

[crazyguy]

I just keep thinking back to the way that coach Fulmer recruited. It seemed like every year we would sign multiple guys that no one thought we had a shot at until signing day.
CPF is Tennessee Football- he wants to get this right, and he’s still got some folks he can push on. I doubt we hear anything unless he wants us to.

 

[Dudley Smith]

Notwithstanding the history of hiring a coach from Cincinnati, Luke Fickell would definitely check the box of strong recruiter, in addition to HC experience, and being around a big-time program.

Ok, bring back Tyson Helton and let Tee be his OC. They worked together at USC

I would have thought we'd be the one place he might

Failed TWICE in the NFL as HC...well regarded as a DC. Hadn’t failed in college. USC was pretty much at the same crossroads as us. I wouldn’t go 90%. Whoever they would hire would get my initial support, regardless.
