Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Volfanatic_20]

Really curious what Aaron Hayden thinks the admin should be saying in a press conference where we just fired 3 coaches and 7 support staff members for level 1 and 2 violations.

 

[engineerVOL]

Why is he acting like a 1 year postseason ban is some type of huge deal?

That ain’t it, probably major scholly reductions?

When Kiffin left for USC west ...They were hit by ncaa and lost scholarships...Kiffin didn't do very well I believe because of that situation.... that being said, TN will probably lose some scholarships as well, making it difficult to come right in and win big... How many GOOD coaches will want to coach here( for next few years).. So just sayin if we have GOOD coaches showing interest....(AKA..KIFFIN )regardless of past bitterness university better vet the possibility.....

He went 28-15 overall. Won 8,10,8 games and was 3-2 when he was fired. We would kill to win 10 games in a season.

For those who didn’t see it... this was AKWARD

Felt bad for him

Screw him

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Cause they’re not getting paid anymore

Look at The recruits Neids was primary on. The methods used with Mims likely occurred with many of those recruits also.

I don't think Fulmer has been fired. Some of the media people might want to be careful with some of their comments.

Basilio just let it slip, it was someone in the recruiting office that let it slip.

More please, I already turned off Basilio and went to Finebaum. Was that what prompted the initial investigation? Chancellor Plowman (to me) made it sound like a whistleblower report to her office.

Watch us get hit with 10 less scholarships each year. Max of 15. That would suck.

I think it is insinuated there will be scholly restrictions when that bowl ban. Would be in meeting with other programs penalties.

 

[Smokey123]

It’s kind of Kiffin’s thing to leave programs after one year in mid January

 

[Deebowbear]

WVLT saying right now that Gerald Riggs Jr. is lobbying for Lane Kiffin big time. Before the story aired, they said multiple former UT players were lobbying for the same.

It’s not rocket science hire him

 

[Jimmy Football]

I don’t think the NCAA problems will be as bad as Low is saying. I bet we worked hand-in-hand every step of the way and got some assurances that we wouldn’t be crushed.

And at some point, the NCAA has to realize that you’re shooting yourself in the foot if you hammer schools that self-report/investigate.

Edit: I agree that a post-season ban next year is likely. Probably self-imposed.

Narrator: "Tennessee is foolish"

It’s the loss of SEC $$$ that’s the big deal.

Thats all he really said on that quote, maybe it was a slip of the tongue, but that's how he phrased it.

I don’t think there is any question that Phil is not leaving on his terms.

 

[The Dog]

Kiffin is not Jon snow. He’s more Tyrian. Maybe a good guy in the end but has done a lot of DIRT on the way. Plus he drinks and knows things.

More like Jamie, The KingSlayer, that got himself killed over his lover, his own sister, Cersei

 

[InstrumentalVol]

Watch us get hit with 10 less scholarships each year. Max of 15. That would suck.

This is why the new AD will have three options.
1) loves the university enough to see it through (Freeze)
2) wants a chance to say they rebuilt Tennessee (Kiffin) or
3) wants a shot at proving their worth (G5 Google Coach)


I choose Door 1 or Door 2.

 

[Devo182]

Herman

I think there will be mutual interest. My question is does he pass the search firm’s background checks.. I don’t know

[mr.checkerboards]

Also for @Bassmaster_Vol
A caller on Basillo's show just pointed out, Chris Weinke's tenure at TN will last longer than Pruitts

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Why would we hire him? He's never been a head coach or a coordinator. We need someone with experience who knows what they're doing.

 

[KB5252]

People actually believe Plowman and Boyd didn't know ANYTHING? As much dirt as they found? They knew where to look. There are no clean hands here-- just masterful puppeteering.

Yes, and the way in which this was done will haunt us for years.

 

[snowvols]

When Kiffin was brought up for the Auburn job, Mark Schlabach reported Kiffin's buyout at Ole Miss for him to leave for another job was $5 million

 

[Smokey123]

That ain’t it, probably major scholly reductions?

It’d be minor. Ole miss lost 13 over 3 years

Thanks!
