Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[HankHill]

random but kinda funny these were the top 2 candidates last year and neither were hired. (Both should be hired)

 

[jordan4vols]

Fulmer is not using Pete Thamel to float a name.

There is extreme hostility between the two. Read Thamel’s article on Phil after he got the AD job.

He may not be for Phil but he might be for Marrone's agent.

 

[Catbone]

Marrone would have us running a very similar out dated offense that would be exposed just like Pruitt.

 

[Volsdeep4]

Who is this splash hire of the coaches that are out there right now in your opinion? And no I’m not at all saying we should hire Marrone. Just curious what other peeps think

Imo Hermon, Napier, and freeze are splashes. All are proven winners. 2 haven’t been touched by ncaa and all are offensive minded.

 

[VOL6479]

Fulmer sees a younger version of his self in Marrone

 

[HankHill]

At the end of the day, you are what your record says. Look at his record.

Saban has a .469 winning percentage in the NFL.

 

[HankHill]

Fulmer sees a you younger version of his self in Marrone

That’s a good thing.

 

[yourstruly23]

@HankHill What does a Marrone team look like offensively and defensively? Does he bring in hot shot coordinators or under the radar NFL guys?

False.

 

[rjd970]

Saban has a .469 winning percentage in the NFL.

The immediate comparison of any coaching candidate to Saban is dumb.

 

[Volsdeep4]

Not a splash hire, but might be exactly what our program needs. He had a good run at Syracuse.

Wouldn’t be the worst hire, just one it would be very hard to get excited about. Depending on staff. Idk who he is in cahoots with that he would bring.

 

[Aesius]

Marrone does intrigue me a bit. Syracuse has been trash since he left. Babers had one good season and now they are worse than ever.

There's absolutely no argument that Marrone rode anyone's coattails there. He made them respectable when they were awful for years beforehand.

But on the other hand, I get some serious Schiano without the scandal vibes from him. Made a total non-factor of a team into something of a competitor. The difference is that he didn't stick around long enough at Cuse to get a great idea of where he is as a college coach, and obviously he flamed out in the NFL. But his NFL career was much longer than Schiano's, and he has an AFCCG appearance on his resume. And was 5 points away from a Super Bowl appearance.

At the end of the day, you are what your record says. Look at his record.

Have you looked at Sabans record in the nfl? He was 34-24 at Michigan state and Marrone was 25-25 at Syracuse. Syracuse is a terrible football school and he did well.

 

[MarcoVol]

Wins C-USA coach of the year, contract not extended

 

[volbeast33]

Read the second comment...... according to Moe Lester he is getting a 2 yr extension lol

How is Herman a splash?

He didn’t win enough at Texas with more talent on his roster than every team he played against.

 

[PolkVol]

Saban has a .469 winning percentage in the NFL.

Maybe people will change their tunes on not wanting NFL coaches, once they see Urban Meyer win about 3 games in Jacksonville next season.

Texas talent is overrated. And he won plenty of games. They just think they should be playing for national championships every year.

He wasn't running an out dated offense in Jacksonville.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Not true at all. They actually weren't terrible on offense. They just have no QB or defense because their GM blew it up.

 

[scvolfan7]

At the end of the day, you are what your record says. Look at his record.

Definitely not amazing on paper but I think those records translate to him being a solid football coach at UT. He’d get us to win at an Iowa type level. Consistently 8-10 wins. Get this job to be desirable and relevant again

 

[VolInDayton]

He wasn't running an out dated offense in Jacksonville.

I know a few Jag fans and they mostly blamed Coughlin for the issues with the team.

 

[justwatch123]

Some smoke around Marrone.....

Please please no. Another one of “Fulmers guys”. Can we please break away from the norm. Please and Thank ya

Probably because they should be.
