Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Would this be a game changer for Napier or Fleck? May show to them that we are serious and open to bringing the check book?

Who wants them when we can bring Lane home!!

This is a feel good read.
Tennesee hires Danny White as AD. What does it mean for Vol football?

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Alright so we now know Leipold is the absolute floor.

 

[GoBigOrangeUT]

Did y’all see this? Makes me smile...

*****ing on Dan will put him in good graces immediately lol

 

[PolkVol]

When is the last time we made anyone an offer they couldn't refuse?

Legit without McDonald's bags? Been a loooong time!

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Old UT would have hired Gilbert.

100% and then promoted Steele.

I feel bad for AP and Hubbs currently as they have zero info, all ties have been cut off, yet people are grasping for info. Those clowns have no clue what’s happening.

And people are paying $$. I have the password of a guy I’ve never even met before saved on my phone and IPad and I login. Oops

He's making $5 million from Auburn not to work. I'd say he was semi-successful.

Don't forget it's always nice to have a businessman like Randy Boyd in your corner when talking contracts.

 

[Govolsman98]

Man I really think everything is going to work out just fine for us

 

[IN Jed]

Remember when we wanted Scott Frost?

 

[NoogaVol96]

No on Kiffin please...sorry I can’t understand the people that get behind in or think it’s remotely a good idea.

We don’t ask you to understand. That’s fine.

Daggumit yall I'm teaching here will you wait until after school?!?!?!?

So class...... we just Hired a New AD! No more classwork or homework today!

 

[UTSuave’]

We need a dedicated thread for the VQ dude that nailed everything this week.

Nah! Just welcome him and invite him over here to stay for a long time.

I would take any specific observations derived from White's past hires with a grain of salt, as you know he was picking candidates he actually thought would fit jobs like Buffalo and UCF. It's clear he has an eye for coaching talent across multiple sports.

I really think White's hire makes this job 2 or 3 times more attractive. Tennessee made a smart move going outside of the UT family for this one. It shows prospective coaches that we really are trying to change our culture and that we are serious about winning.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I really don't think White hires someone with no HC experience, if he was made an offer he couldn't refuse I'm sure that meant he was told "we need a proven HC"

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Wait... we just made a hire that is universally being celebrated? National writers love it? Local media loves it? WE love it?

WTF is going on?! This doesn’t feel like a UT hire.

LFG!

No on Kiffin please...sorry I can’t understand the people that get behind in or think it’s remotely a good idea.

An offense that has never been contended with.....
