I think he would work in college. He’s a great evaluator of talent. Drafted a lot of great players and would win in living rooms. Would trust him to basically run program as more of a GM and let his coordinators do most of the leg work. He would be very very comparable to mark richt imo. You’ll see why in this video. Fantastic guy.


Great evaluator of talent...

Damn.

As someone who has watched the Titans play since the Titans were the Titans. Gonna need an explanation on that one.

Jeff Fisher was never the GM. But he did insist on keeping awful players on the roster every year. And the best team he ever had, he started ancient Kerry Collins over Vince Young and it ultimately cost us a chance at a Superbowl.

Also here is another fantastic of example of what I’m talking about with fisher. Watch this video of such a vulnerable time. Pay attention to the coaches reactions. That’s how much Jeff meant to them and he handled this situation like an absolute pro when the ownership tried to make a spectacle out of him knowing it would be filmed. We need leadership like that in the worst of ways.

“Reached” for Aaron Donald according to so many people. That should show you all need.
 
Lots of speculation on who leaked info. I was specifically talking about Bruin's insinuation that it was AV.. He got in one of his typical pissing matches with AV on Christmas Eve and claims AV admitted it. That is bullsh!t and typical Bruin, distorting what was said to attack him because of his unhinged obsession with AV...

Why do y’all not have Bruin on ignore? It helps clean up the board. Highly recommend it.
 
Your thoughts on BOB and Herman?

I think O’Brien would be a solid hire. He did a great job at Penn State. He recruited well there in an impossible situation. He’s a good offensive coach. Bill O’Brien the GM screwed Bill O’Brien the coach. Wouldn’t have to worry about draft value and salaries at Tennessee. Lack of SEC ties and recruiting at Tennessee is a lot of work. And again, he can work in a situation with a lot of adversity and make it work. He seems to be well respected by most players and was a good leader in college.

Herman would be fine. I think this program needs a leader and I don’t believe he quite has that. Seems like a hardass. But his offense is fun and he busts his tail on the recruiting trail. Another lack of SEC ties....and I think the personality is a concern. But not the worst hire.

My first two calls are Gus Malzahn and Bill Clark.

One player in a 25 year career and that's all I need to know? That's crazy. Jeff Fisher hit on more players than that. And I would hope so. Dude coached for almost three decades. You want me to start going through his misses and see who can make a bigger list?

The Titans routinely started players that would not be on any other NFL roster with Fisher.
 
You’re immediate red flag hires:
Lane Kiffin
Hugh Freeze
Jamey Chadwell
Gus Malzahn

First 3 obviously all had NCAA issues themselves & Gus because Steele is here as our interim, so if everything said about Auburn has any truth that’s now a red flag.

You’re immediate front runners:
Tom Herman
Bill O’Brien
Matt Campbell

Successful & no known skeletons, at this point.

You’re safe, but not exciting hires:
Kevin Steele
Jim Caldwell
Doug Marrone

Can they win? Who knows, will fans be excited? Not until they win...

You’re solid hires, that don’t seem like homeruns:
Neal Brown
Billy Napier

I worry Herm Edwards success may have us willing to take a NFL guy who may be average.

Also that’s Mike singletary at the end of the top video.

I haven't put anyone on ignore in years. Also you miss a lot of classically stupid stuff when you do that. There are two people I have made a conscious decision to not interact with on here, now there is three.

IMO, he's stepped over the ban worthy line here...
