Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Freeze.

But if not Freeze Napier. Or if Texas fires Herman, get Herman. If not, Fleck or Chadwell.

Bass, why Napier over Chadwell? Chadwell already beat him this season and will probably do it again next week.

 

[HankHill]

tbf, he has done a lot better job at minnesota than I thought he would. Going 11-2 there is probably the equivalent of us winning the SEC.

I think winning 11 games at Minnesota is harder than making the playoffs here.

At programs like Minnesota there’s not really a long future plan for coaches. Once you find a little something special you have to go all in for one year. Because winning 11 games that one year is probably the best Minnesota will do for the next 20 years.

This team has a loser mentality. That takes time to break. I'd say a year or two, jmo though.

Attitude reflects leadership

 

[Jimmy Football]

This team has a loser mentality. That takes time to break. I'd say a year or two, jmo though.

The right guy can change the culture from Day 1.

In fact, if he doesn’t change it starting on Day 1, he probably isn’t the right guy.

 

[Sugaray13]

He supports the programs through advertising. Dish Network stuff all over the place.

Is that really supporting the program or using Tennessee to make money for him?

 

[KB5252]

Attitude reflects leadership

No doubt, look at the last two leaders.

 

[VolInDayton]

Both of those have better resumes than the last three coaches we hired

Well if our last 3 coaching hires is the bar of success, be prepared to stay in the basement of the SEC.

Chadwell has never been in a major college football program and doesn't know what success looks like on that level. He has a mediocre overall record coaching sub par college football

Chadwell wants this job
He’s been on every freaking local radio station lately
Grew up a huge UT fan

 

[Sugaray13]

Freeze.

But if not Freeze Napier. Or if Texas fires Herman, get Herman. If not, Fleck or Chadwell.

How far down the list am I?

 

[HankHill]

Chadwell wants this job
He’s been on every freaking local radio station lately

Then let’s ride.

 

[VolInDayton]

Best we can do now behind Freeze, yes. We need someone that can take us to 8-9 wins consistently. That has a chance to compete for SEC title every 3-4 years. We are a dumpster fire right now guys.

We aren't the Vols of 90's or early 00's.

Exactly, it truly is the best we can do there is no future success.

 

[VolInDayton]

Chadwell would be a worst hire than Greg Schiano.

 

[05_never_again]

VQ guys opened the podcast today saying the administration above Fulmer wants the football program to win, and that people should stop saying they don't care about winning.

Uh, no ****? I don't think the VQ guys understand the point we are making when we say that.

People want all kinds of stuff. I want a million dollars to fall down my chimney. The fact of the matter is the administration wants to win like I want 5 dollars off my next oil change.

It would be cool, but it isn't worth the effort to fill out the form to get the coupon to make it happen.

I think that they want to win really badly. More than you want $5 off an oil change.

However, they want one thing more badly than winning - they want to be able to take credit for it. Being able to take credit for winning is more important to them than actually winning. Figuratively speaking the boosters sit around a table, and there are at least as many proposals are there are boosters. That's problem #1. Problem #2 is that they all want their particular proposal to be the one that is adopted, even if there are other proposals at the table that are better. Too many chiefs, not enough Indians. It isn't about finding the best idea and then moving forward with everybody behind that idea...it's about making sure their idea is the one that gets used so they can get all the pats on the back for it.

There are people within that athletic department and within the group of boosters that if it came down to a rival booster getting credit for success or losing, they'd rather lose.

Chadwell said you have to play to your strengths, and be creative. He said he’ll do whatever the team does best to give them a chance.
I’m all in on Chadwell

 

[orangesoda]

Heres a curveball for you folks



What if the SEC has said one more year is time served for freeze and fulmer is waiting for that time to pass ???

Point to LSU and tell the SEC to kiss our @$$

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Freeze.

But if not Freeze Napier. Or if Texas fires Herman, get Herman. If not, Fleck or Chadwell.

Not sure about Fleck. My suspicion is he's another Butch cliche factory. If they hire him and I am wrong that would be great.

 

[vol494]

Chadwell would be a worst hire than Greg Schiano.

Ok I need to hear the explanation on this please.

 

[Kingston Vol]

I *think* Chadwell would be a disaster but you have to try something besides bringing back a dead head coach.

 

[VolInDayton]

Chadwell said you have to play to your strengths, and be creative. He said he’ll do whatever the team does best to give them a chance.
I’m all in on Chadwell

You know who else said that? Pruitt.

 

[SD189]

Bruce Springsteen is his boss and his daddy.

Bruce Springsteen sucks. My apologies to those I have offended. To me he's somewhat like the original Chad Kroeger.

Edit: Having said that, I will admit he has one album that I thought was good...Nebraska.

 

[millst987]

Listen to the Basilio interview later
He’s freaking impressive

 

[Sugaray13]

I've wondered that myself. Not just about freeze but another coach. I would like to think we are ahead of the game for once but I doubt it.

Anyone specific on the "other coach"?

 

[JCVol00]

Id rather risk recruiting violations with Freeze than an unproven guy like Chadwell

 

[BruinVol]

I've wondered that myself. Not just about freeze but another coach. I would like to think we are ahead of the game for once but I doubt it.

Perhaps it a little of both


Fulmer believes Jeremy has a small
Chance to get it figured out but knows next year is the year freeze gets out of jail and is the backup

 

[snowvols]

If Chadwell or Napier is the best we can do, I will except the fact that 7 wins is probably the best I'll ever see Tennessee for the rest of my life.

Napier has a great resume. He was OC at Arizona St and Clemson. He was the WR coach at Bama, he is 27-11 as a HC, 20-4 the last two seasons coaching a team coming off 3 straight losing seasons. All the LSU fans on their board want O fired and Napier hired.
