Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Basilio just said, Kiffin reached out to a booster, today.

Hire him now!!

You can't even begin to compare the two sports.

They aren’t the same, but basketball was investigated by the FBI. Basketball is much dirtier. You can find a stable coach who develops for the NFL and can then retain local talent. Just have to find the right one.

Charles Davis will be hired within the next two days, UT will be talking to Hugh Freeze this evening. Gus will be approached along with Napier.
One issue with Davis is a buyout from Fox sports.
I am not an insider, got a call from someone who is close with someone in the AD.
Money was payed to Mims, Toot, Mauer and Gray. Georgia and Michigan are part of this in some way.
The guy who called said he played travel baseball with Chadwell, talked with him last week and he had not been approached.
New AD will not hire the next coach, Plowman will.
Like I said, I am no insider. TIFWIW
Haslams want Freeze
Thunder wants Gus
Not sure who is pushing Napier

Don't even know where to start here. LOL.

 

[DarthVol1]

10 is the number ive seen.
Bethany Gunn as well ( isn't she Trey Smith's sister?)

No. Ashley Smith.

 

[windrider]

I have heard that Kiffin wants the job. But that ain't happening

Never say never. I never thought I would see us get caught up in a mess like this one. So from this point I'm not gonna ever say never on anything.

 

[Batman1948]

After listening to that press conference, who believes Freeze is in consideration for our head coach position?

 

[Ten_Titans]

Kiffin really rubbed me the wrong way when he left.

I just don’t know if we could trust him again.

Give him the Matt Campbell buyout treatment. Boom. Problem solved.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Yep she is.

No

 

[Aesius]

Bring my sweet darling kiffin home.

Kiffin is gonna troll the **** out of us until the hire is made

 

[mr.checkerboards]

No. Ashley Smith.

Ah, thnx

Lol there is no way we paid money to secure Maurer's signature....but if we did all you can do is laugh. What a joke

 

[VFLBerg]

Damn how many ppl got fired?

Knox News article says: Tennessee also fired assistant coaches Brian Niedermeyer and Shelton Felton for cause on Monday, along with seven members of the football program’s recruiting and support staff.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

@Atlanta VOL Please contact Kiffin and get us wins. Thnx

 

[Catbone]

Basilio said Kiffin has reached out wanting to come back

Oh my God.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

If Kiffin WANTS to come here, and we don’t hire him..... I’ll be so disappointed.

And sadly, I know we won’t.

I wish I could quit this fandom.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

I just don’t know if we could trust him again.

If he is even interested, you pay him what he wants and you bring him back immediately. If we have even the slightest chance to make that good of hire with all that has gone down you do it and do it now.

Otherwise, we will have Steele as interim for next year at the very least. Maybe longer.

Basilio said Kiffin has reached out wanting to come back

I don’t like the idea of hiring Kiffin this year. That means he never learned his lesson of burning us after one year and he would do it again to us as soon as a better job came open.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

We reached out to Mike Gundy yet?

 

[JT3]

Basilio just said, Kiffin reached out to a booster, today.

Man I wish we had the guts to make that hire.

 

[UTK]

mixed emotions here. Little bit unsure why @Atlanta VOL is so happy. Yes it's good to get Pruitt and Phil out, but this is at VERY high cost. Unless we have already wrapped up a GREAT AD and HC, Pruitt may as well still be coaching. Because now We have the NCAA up our @$$.

A great AD won't take **** from the NCAA. So maybe we do have a great AD lined up.

We really gonna have Kiffin and Huge Freeze begging to come here but we will hire an upstanding man who will lose yugely with honor and dignity.

 

[Mullins2010]

Yep she is.

No

 

[UTProf]

Kiffin loves trolling us. I’d talk to him but I wouldn’t put much faith in it until the ink was dry. I know he has a strong desire to redeem himself here but trust has to be earned.

Translation: "Kiffin has reached out to throw his name into the public discussion and leverage it for himself."

He wouldn't touch this program right now and I doubt the program would touch him. With Corral coming back, his stock will be even higher this time next year.
