Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Who took it?

I didn't but here you go.

Edited: FAKE tweet

Fraking Trolls

 

[Deebowbear]

That would be literally doubling Campbells salary. I dont think there is anyone else put there you'd need to spend that much on. You could give Kiffin a significant raise and still not get close to 7

Don’t Know if Campbell is worth that much

 

[jakez4ut]

I did too.

His Nebraska teams make me question him. Maybe he caught lightning in a bottle at UCF?

i think it was a bad combo...him and NE. NE needed him a whole lot more than he needed NE. he decided on that job with his heart, not his head.

NE is a lot harder to recruit to and win at now, than it is TN, and it's not really close....and even as tough as it is for us to recruit, we can still recruit top 10, top 15 nationally, regularly......if we ever start winning, we can consistently recruit around that top 4-8 range, and be relevant.

NE...i don't see it. the Big 10 roots are not in NE. and NE in state recruiting is like a full state of East TN recruits...i kid, but you get the idea. NE has to recruit TX, west coast, the midwest...

and Lincoln, NE sucks....sorry. but i've been there. not impressed.

There is no way they’re paying near 7 million for someone like Napier.

It’s got to be someone who’s won at a high level.

 

[85SugarVol]

Who is trey Teague? Saw he's followed by a lot of vols, I've just never heard of him. And I'm ready to believe him fully before anyone answers me.

PSA: I know this is exciting.....but smokey and the bandit 1 is on CMT right now.

Sumbeech!

 

[butchna]

I left my DNA in Weezer's bed.

[jakez4ut]

Only took me 5 minutes to find it...that’s channel 327 for directv folks and thanks for the heads up.


And bring Lane home

 

[RikidyBones]

Alright boys, I'm gonna go watch Ancient Aliens. Only posts nugs and relevant stuff so I don't have to scroll through crap. @drvenner , @InVOLuntary looking at you.

 

[Coleslaw]

Mid-late 90s. Drafted in ‘98. Played for the Broncos and Bills and someone else. Scott Wells and Chad Clifton played for the Packers.

Man this brings back memories. I was in grad school teaching general biology and had Trey, Greg Johnson, Gray Barker, And Mike Grein in one lab and Tyrone Hines in another.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Well that was fun. Lol

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

No way that’s real

it's not

 

[UpstateVol613]

It just means more. I think it is wired in our DNA...after these last 15 years I wish I could quit but I can’t. I’m a junkie.

 

[Deebowbear]

That’s money you throw at Matt Campbell and make him say no.

How do we know he is worth that

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Don’t if Campbell is worth that much

He is worth every penny. Campbell would win a national championship here.

We truly are a sleeping giant

weak troll attempt

7 million at TN is like 6.3 million in states that have a state income tax

Wouldn't that be $7.7 million?

 

[UTwild82]

For 7 large it better be.

I'm not necessarily against Napier but he ain't worth $7M. At least not yet.

 

[VolInDayton]

Math checks out.

Nebraska needs to go back to the Big 12 (which seems to be likely in the future) and go back to the triple option. They have absolutely no recruiting base within 500 miles of Lincoln. Oklahoma, Colorado, Texas, Florida, and California is their refuting grounds.

 

[BruinVol]

Are there any coaches out there right now that would change your mind? If they are serious enough to spend 7mill per year on a coach (which is what is now rumored) that speaks volumes to me that they are committed to winning and righting this ship. I know we have been down and quite frankly have been a laughing stock but if the things coming out about PF and JP are true maybe this overhaul is what we needed all the way around and Atlanta Vol was right. We will never know how bad things really were. Could things have been handled a little different so we didn’t have to have a NCAA investigation? Maybe. However, do you really think PF and JP would have cordially left their positions? I think we are in a better position today than we were last week and I’m glad you see the good in the new AD hire. Let’s hope the HC hire is in the same league because I have hope we can right this ship with a good hire if we make this one count.

No there isn’t. I told someone tonight I don’t even think Saban would succeed in the next 5 years here

The problem as I see it Is if we hire a big name expectations will be thru the roof. They will be unrealistic and once negativity sets in things snowball around Knoxville
