Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Ulysees E. McGill]

He's a good CEO type, he acts like an adult and has solid relationships through the college and pro landscape. UT could do a lot worse than Marrone

"We could do a lot Worse"..that is some seriously motivating bulls man...really makes you wanna run through a wall..

 

[MrVolton]

It's just how it works. You do an in-house investigation, then bring in outside counsel to validate, clear up inconsistencies and see if there's anything else out there. That way, outside counsel can defend allegations with confidence and credibility. And if a client is questioning whether they can, or should, terminate for cause, outside counsel digs deeper and makes a recommendation.

You hearing anything about which direction they might go if Pruitt is out?

 

[volinbama256]

Marrone and Steele would be a fantastic combo. Physical football here we come!!!

Have you heard anything else about Mullen interviewing or still wanting out?

 

[Dudleys87]

That's because Tennessee won't hire a home run. Or a triple.

Because for people who’ve been around know without question they’re going to lie about what they did or didn’t do.

we called all these guys and there’s just no interest so we had to hire fill in the blank.

Who? Fisher?

 

[SpringBokVol]

The only thing 100% certain is that people aren't going to agree on whatever UT decides. There will be jubilation and disgust, no matter what.

 

[Rishvol]

Can we get Doug Pederson when he gets fired?

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Doug Pederson is on the Table

 

[Vols2DaWall]

I think the administration is at the point where they don't care what the fans think. Fulmer has total control.

This exactly. He doesn't give two ***** about the fanbase or their thoughts. Which I why I think he's like JP and will not be here long term at least in the AD role

 

[butchna]

Ive talked myself into Marrone. Sorry @Ulysees E. McGill

Not yet for me...but I might get out of the fetal position. Back’s hurting anyway.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Does he have good recruiting connections? I don't doubt he has a decent Rolodex of NFL names.

UT could (and likely will) do worse than Marrone, but I also think we could do better.

UT could maybe do better and I'm not endorsing Marrone but he is better than say Chadwell or some other names mentioned

 

[Volsfaninva917]

"We could do a lot Worse"..that is some seriously motivating bulls man...really makes you wanna run through a wall..

It's true, Pruitt is a prime example of this

 

[volinbama256]

Freeze/Kiffin/Chadwell is what we want and would inject excitement and get us rolling ...

Marrone WITH a great experienced staff is what we can hope to get right now... That is absolutely the only way that scenario works and makes anyone happy... Marrone comes in without a top OC/DC/supporting staff like Garner/Tee, and it's total garbage... I just can't see UT doing that, especially with Steele already on the way...

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Who? Fisher?

Chadwell for starters

 

[Ron Swanson]

I think the administration is at the point where they don't care what the fans think. Fulmer has total control.

It’s cool, coaching searches are all we’ve got. I’ll go ahead and mark my calendar for the next search in 3 years if they hire Marrone.

 

[LA Vol]

I think the administration is at the point where they don't care what the fans think. Fulmer has total control.

I agree that admin is blocking out the noise. But you know Fulmer isn't driving this.

Unless you mean, Fulmer wanting to bring in Steele, in which case, yes, he's probably all over that.

 

[orangesoda]

I think the administration is at the point where they don't care what the fans think. Fulmer has total control.

Yeah the guy that is in part responsible for this mess! Fulmer should get his walking papers also.

 

[Batman1948]

Would Chadwell get the patience he deserves?

From whom? The administration or the fans? Administration--maybe, Fans--NO

 

[Ron Swanson]

I agree that admin is blocking out the noise. But you know Fulmer isn't driving this.

If he’s not driving this surely Marrone won’t be the hire then, right?

 

[Geronimo]

Preface: I know that part of what I’m about to say is 100% false.

Sometimes (Always) I imagine @LA Vol as the person right in the thick of things (Like he’s Boyd or one of the Lawyers) who has all the facts in front of him and knows the end game, but he obviously can’t reveal it bc things have to play out.

And he feels sorry for all of us to the point he shares things in such a way as to lead us to the appropriate conclusions without saying it flat out. Unfortunately, we (VN) can’t see the forest for the trees.
If anyone is truly paying attention, he is saying a lot of the same things, just with different verbiage. It’s like an insurance agent selling life insurance. That terminology scares some people but if he says “mortgage protection” the person buys it no questions asked. It’s the SAME THING!
LA, I salute you for your patience.

 

[Dudleys87]

Chadwell for starters

Yea, coach of the year but worse. Are we even trying anymore?

 

[Wickman]

Doug Marrone’s record against Butch Jones 1-2

This is all you need to know about a Marrone hire

 

[SSVol]

Bearwallow Bandit, IMO.

Surely the keeper of IP address logs could offer insight...

 

[VolGee4]

I actually didn't say that. I said Marrone probably has as good of a resume for this job as Chadwell or Napier.

Marrone has an ugly NFL record (I know his backers instantly write that off) and was OK at Syracuse, by their standards (he had 2 good years out of 4 and won 40% of their Big East games overall). Chadwell has been good at basically every college job he's coached (except for a one-year stint at Delta State), but he's never coached above the G5 level. Napier, in limited time as a G5 coach, has been successful.

I don't see huge differences between the qualities of those resumes, for this particular job. If you want to talk about resume quality on an absolute basis, not relative to any particular position, then yes, Marrone's is the best purely because he's been in the NFL.

It's the same thing. The "probably" qualifier is just crazy to me. Chadwell and Napier have resumes akin to a Butch Jones. It's a crap shoot.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Yea, coach of the year but worse. Are we even trying anymore?

IMO he's a gimmick
