Love ty Good dude. Wish him the best

 

[Blake25p]

well that sure sounds like we didn’t want him to leave and were going to renew him

Or we need $$$

 

[Catbone]

You built that scenario up in your head, and then got mad at it. Hilarious.

I'm always mad these days. Or depressed. Mostly mad

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Excuse me, what? "No one has built one"

2017 - first ESD

Cincinnati hires Fickell 2017, 35-14 with only his first season being less than 9 wins, has back to back 11 win seasons that's not "built?"
Iowa State hires Campbell in 2016, 35-28 with 4 straight 7 win seasons, that's in the Big 12 at Iowa State program has 20 total 7 win seasons, Campbell is responsible for 4 of them and is 1 of only 2 coaches to win 9 games there...I mean it's not Bama or Clemson, but that's pretty built
Texas A&M hires Jimbo and he's won at least 8 games every year he's been there with this season's 9-1 team arguably being more deserving of the CFP than 2 of the teams selected above them...isn't that pretty built?
Georgia hires Kirby and he's had 3 straight 11 win or better seasons, not built?
Florida hires Mullen and he's had 8 or better all 3 seasons, and back to back 10 win seasons
UHC hires Mack Brown and he's won 7 or better in both seasons, with this year being the first time they've been ranked top 5 since Mack's last tenure there

I just don't buy that, unless your definition of "built" is being Bama/Clemson...which to be fair can't happen while those programs exist. To me building a program means competing for conference titles every year or being within a game of it.

I think everyone's definition is different which is why I posted that. I would say UGA and UF aren't really builds though. Day 1 both if those school have enough talent to be top 25.

Would be a great landing spot for him. They are losing a couple of RBs I believe.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

The flip side of this argument would be that he rights the ship so to speak. I realize its a tall task, but its not impossible. That would obviously be best case scenario. If that were the case, the 2022 recruits might take notice.

I get that, there’s always a flip side and if he was able to do that then I bet he would have a great 22 class. It’s just highly unlikely, and taking that gamble could make the roster situation worse than it may be if you fire him now. JMO.

 

[BJWeeks]

What????

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

We're gonna end up with Doug Marrone and right back where we are in 3 or 4 years

Also a better fit offensively in that scheme as well. We were bulking him up too much here. He lost some of that breakaway speed. He needs to get back to natural weight and in a scheme that knows how to use his receiving skills. Such a waste to see what he need in pass game first two years compared to under Chaney.

 

[InVOLuntary]

They can't be that dumb to go after Steele who has never been a head coach before

Steele has been a head coach and it didn't work out to well.

He was the head coach at Baylor from 1999 to 2002 with a stellar record of 9-36.

So ya, i agree, he has never been a head coach.

Would be a good move for him, I think.

Kevin Steele better not get anywhere near Neyland

 

[jakez4ut]

Herman with Steele as DC.

if that's what we 'wound up' with after all this, i'd consider that a HUGE win.

also, a GIANT departure from what we've 'wound up' with in the past, so i'm leaning toward "no chance". lol.

 

[HankHill]

I like Marrone more than most. Think he bring a lot to the table. He’s not in my top 3 tho.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Wonder what a Salter would think about Herman considering he was a TX QB that TX wasn’t in his recruitment very much. At the same time, Ty Simpson would be a near perfect fit in that offense.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Would be a great landing spot for him. They are losing a couple of RBs I believe.

Yep. 2 1000 yard rushers

 

[butchna]

Kind of petty on our part since he wasn’t going to be renewed. But I’m good with it! We’ve been on the receiving end way too often.

That's interesting

 

[LA Vol]

Most seniors, including Ty, chose to be honored on SR Day. They signaled their intent to leave-- before the toxicity hit the stratosphere.

 

[Dudleys87]

Yep. 2 1000 yard rushers

And somehow I bet he gets coached up and had a good year.

 

[BruinVol]

I am not sure you can say that with 100% accuracy.

It is certainly one possibility.

The other is that they were not going to renew him and saw an opportunity to collect on a contract instead of being on the paying end of a contract.

Agree but seems much more likely we wanted to keep him

 

[Nuctech777]

Wow. What about freedom of speech? That's embarrassing

Looks super hard to get around.

 

[Gilbert]

I’m all in for Herman if Freeze isn’t an option. I think he could be very successful here.
