Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[windrider]

He doesn't have to apologize to me for anything. I'd gladly welcome him back. Home run hire

IF Kiffin came back and IF he started kicking everyone's butt in the SEC, he would be welcomed back with open arms by virtually every VOL fan in the world.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

I don't like the optics of basically forcing a whole staff on a coach. Steele/Garner maybe Graham are fine but 9-10 guys isn't good.

I agree.
Let the head coach interview any remaining staff but give him full control for hiring everyone he is responsible for without any influence from the administration. I didn’t always think this way.

 

[Yeiser10]

Then go get him here now please This place would explode with excitement

We already are just bc he confirmed he reached out. Can you imagine after all this if we hired Kiffin! This place would be bonkers! Let’s go!

Just dug this gem up from December 2017:

“Honestly, Pruitt is a C hire. Good recrruiter, but no guarantee he can bring in a top staff. Has potential off the field problems. Hard to get along with. Carries a high risk of NCAA issues. May struggle on O without a top notch OC.”

Have to say, I got pretty close.

Who said that?

 

[Jackcrevol]

So you named your Wee Wee my Buddy.

hey, you know.

[SweetasSoda]

I absolutely agree. Like i said. We wanted good leadership. We’re getting it.

You think there is any chance of them hiring Lane?

 

[Vols4us]

Donde/Randy stepped up and came through. I am now satisfied in the direction from the top for the first time in 20 years. Would love Charles Davis as AD. Yes, he could do the job very well. Add him in with Ingram and Gilbert.

BOB, Herman, Napier, Chadwell. I think Kiffin is playing us. This restart with a new AD might bring Napier back into the discussion along with several others we don't even know about yet.

Who said that?

Me

 

[Rizzo924]

I think Steele is on the next staff and thats why i think they know who the coach is gong to be

That's where I am as well.

Yeah probably, but that also means they'd need a spot. I mean even with my orange tinted glasses on, how many of our guys are going to get legit shots to start at another SEC school?

Eric Gray, Henry T...both can just head to the NFL after next season, and will be foundation pieces here regardless of the next hire.

So far the only guys that left who I think went to better spots are Deandre Johnson to Miami (not sure if he'll be starting though) & Ty Chandler going to UNC. Both of them though were grad transfers who don't have to deal with any red tape regardless.

If Gray and Henry T are involved in the investigation, I doubt they play another down at UT. We can't play guys who could be ruled ineligible by the NCAA. That's just dumb for the new coach.

IT IS LANE KIFFIN TIL IT AIN’T

It would be interesting to know what the chatter is on the Ole Miss board(s).

 

[Sugaray13]

I was going to change my avi... but I'm staking the moral high ground. Like Donde. (@InVOLuntary is Wrong Way Pruitt in this scenario.)

Waffle House
@LA Vol vs @InVOLuntary
Winner gets to keep the avi and gets to choose the losers as well.

Time to move on.

Hey is that a pie pan underneath that shirt? What was in it? You hiding violations under there? No sharing of pie with Volnation?

 

[vol81]

@Atlanta VOL - what are your thoughts/impression of Plowman?

I have heard something that I would like your opinion on - She is all business, a total professional, says the right things, puts up the right public persona, but behind closed doors is willing to do what it takes to win (if you know what i mean).

Thoughts?

Do you really expect a candid answer to that at this juncture?
Or at any other juncture in a public forum......

 

[volbeast33]

i'll quit my job right now and do that for UT.....sign me up! lol.

I’ll be the bagman to keep Kiffin clean so everything can be blamed on me if I get caught.

Damn. That's one Hell of a Crystal Ball you found. Who's our next HC?

 

[HankHill]

You think there is any chance of them hiring Lane?

No. But that’s just my opinion.

 

[Blake25p]

 

[Batman1948]

I can confirm that

Well, then go get him. Money talks doesn't it.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Who gives a about a 1 year bowl ban.

 

[Jackcrevol]

AD named tomorrow. Coach named Friday. Gotta be the timeline or thats ballgame for the instate class, especially if Kiffin isn't chosen.

oh its coach Mcgoogle.

 

[HankHill]

I will gladly take a 1 year bowl ban. Gladly. Us and LSU can have a watch party next year.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Damn. That's one Hell of a Crystal Ball you found. Who's our next HC?

Marrone.
