Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Rishvol]

Watched nearly the entire second half on Nickelodeon because my daughter watched it with me. Not gonna lie I was entertained

 

[Tennessee Stud]

Chadwell reminds me a lot of Dabo. He’s a Tennessee man who bleeds orange. Intriguing at least.

 

[85SugarVol]

He also hired like 4 complete simpletons for assistants prior to that year.

But Kevin Beard wears cleats at practice.

 

[goooooovols]

This board will melt down and burn if 3-7 goes back "home".

I’m fully expecting him to go home when his time here is done... good ****in riddance

 

[Weezer]

That’s what I love about Volnation. Doesn’t matter who the coach is, there will be gnashing of teeth and people who are certain that coach can’t cut it at UT. LMFAO.

Every coach is a risk, no matter how good they've been, but their past record is generally a good indicator of what they could potentially accomplish. There are no real guarantees. We could hire Urban Meyer and there's still a chance he fails.

 

[Deebowbear]

Replacement? Chadwell only makes like $400k/yr so he’d be a safe bet to take the job if offered. But maybe they decide to go with someone like Gus or Herman.

Thanks, either one would be fine by me. Just ready to get this over. How much longer do you think we know something?

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Y’all are crazy. Everyone says give us freeze!
Chadwell gives him all he wants in a game and everyone hates him. Chadwell Beat Napier this year who beat Campbell earlier in the year. He is also the coach of the year. He would die for this job and probably work harder than anyone. I am all for giving him a shot. I guarantee he will be better than the last few hires.

 

[Weezer]

Im not sure why there is hate on the board for Chadwell. Tennessee has proven in the past they can do worse. Much worse.

I don't hate Chadwell, I just don't see him as a good hire.

 

[BJWeeks]

Since the administration is too stupid to hire a home run like Freeze or Kiffin then I would take Marrone over Chadwell

 

[goooooovols]

I like spread option... can you imagine hookers and Salter running that

 

[Dudleys87]

Pretty much what everyone is expecting, so why would they melt down...



Never mind. What was I thinking, it's VolNation..

They already think Saban let him go to sink Tennessee further into nothing so if he went home then you can guarantee 10-12 threads a day.

 

[HankHill]

I know you’ve probably answered this a couple of different times, but how do you think Chadwell’s offense translates to the SEC? With top 10-15 talent?

i have some reservations but the guy is obviously creative. It may be shaky early on due to needing a different type of OL (could help a guy like Jahmir Johnson) but i have faith he could tweek it

 

[Dudleys87]

I don't hate Chadwell, I just don't see him as a good hire.

If he gets more out of the players than Pruitt hes already done more in less time.
His players play hard for him and dont quit. A lot more than you can say about this past season.

 

[Weezer]

I don’t know about “great hire” but he just won AP Coach of the Year and most importantly he’s not Pruitt.

He had a pretty phenomenal season. Not arguing that. But it was one season, and not a typical season at that. And it's not like he was playing Power 5 teams week in and week out.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Thanks, either one would be fine by me. Just ready to get this over. How much longer do you think we know something?

Feels like we’ll find out the investigation findings and Pruitts fate by the end of this week.

 

[Orange Studs]

Meh

He beat teams that mighty UT couldn't beat.

 

[Dudleys87]

I like spread option... can you imagine hookers and Salter running that

Salter to Hooker for 6

Just call the play Salty Hooker.

 

[Weezer]

Then who, in your opinion, is a great hire?

He gets more out of his players than Pruitt ever did with highly rated guys.

Like I said, every hire is a risk. I hope I'm wrong on Chadwell if he's the hire, but I see him as a huge risk based off his previous record. And I think there's a lot more proven guys, but I have no idea if they'd have interest in UT, or if UT would have the wherewithal to chase them. It's not like our admin aims very high when looking for football coaches.

 

[Jravol78]

Got me beat by about 5,000 spots. Do you start getting the nugs when you’re in the top 2K?

must be in the first 1000. Not getting the nugs either .

 

[Dudleys87]

Feels like we’ll find out the investigation findings and Pruitts fate by the end of this week.

I hope so and if it is Chadwell he should at least interview the guys who mean something to the university. If they want to be here of course. The rest of them can kick rocks as far as I am concerned.

 

[White Bread]

Im not sure why there is hate on the board for Chadwell. Tennessee has proven in the past they can do worse. Much worse.

I don’t either. We could do a lot worse than someone who was just named Coach of the Year. He checks all the boxes. Offensive coach, does more with less, develops, has good QB play, and is a Tennessee guy.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Here we go again. We dont "know" whether Chadwell would succeed or not any more than any other coach. We assume the Offense he currently runs at CC would be run EXACTLY as is in the SEC. We assume he can't hire a staff. None of us knows who these guys network with behind the scenes. No hire is a sure thing. He checks some of the boxes. Doesn't check others. While he's not my first choice, for me I would prefer him over Malzahn or Herman, not because of experience or X and O's, but because of their lack of ability to work and play well with others. IF they hire him, I will support him, just as I would Malzahn or Herman. Just my two cents.

 

[franklinpence]

We don’t care. “For the record” what you got on what we DO care about?

I’m guessing some Adidas gear.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

I like spread option... can you imagine hookers and Salter running that

Honest question to those smarter than me, with a spread offense, would the larger o linemen we have work in that type of blocking scheme?

 

[goooooovols]

guys this would be the First Lady of Tennessee Football...
