Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

I let myself believe it. Big money has come to the table boys! We’re offering 7 mil! Won’t take no for an answer! DW has opened up the candidate pool!



Elliot.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

If tony is the guy, I’ll save y’all all a spot on the wagon don’t worry.

Should have plenty of seats left

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Keep in mind Steele met with White yesterday and I believe Plowman was impressed by him as well. Elliott could be his recommendation. Maybe White was impressed enough to keep Steele around.

 

[HankHill]

Now, I am putting you on the spot. Schematically who's do you like better? Elliott or Chadwell?

I like them both. I love Tony’s history with QBs more than anything Chadwell has done so far but both of them run the type of offense that you have to run to win big in college football now. That’s what’s most important.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Thank God it’s not Neal Brown.

I’ll be there by September. Unfortunately will be off again Nov 2023

Look at this track record of building programs from ashes....
View attachment 342820

You left off 2020. 3-4 overall, including blowout losses from Michigan and Iowa. 2 more probable losses were cancelled, Wisconsin and Northwestern.

I know its Forde but thank God

AKA "I won't even be considered but let my agent put this out real quick so as to boost my own profile"

 

[Orange Studs]

Of course i was excited about him but he had a lot of red flags. Certainly a lot more than Elliot. I’m not even sure Elliot has one? Outside of he unknown of haven’t been a HC but like i said before i think being the HC at Tennessee is much like being the president. You’re never truly prepared for this job until you have it. I don’t think being a head coach at Coastal Carolina or Iowa state or Minnesota is anymore preparing you than being a coordinator or a position coach.

So rebuilding a rug matt program that was an automatic win for everyone in that conference and taking them to the Championship game doesn't prepare you for the UT anymore than being a one year OC at Clemson? Really?

Never was a candidate. We passed.

 

[HankHill]

Another. Thing to consider......

How would y’all feel if auburn hired tony Elliot instead of Bryan Harsin?? I’m sure as hell glad they picked Harsin personally

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I like them both. I love Tony’s history with QBs more than anything Chadwell has done so far but both of them run the type of offense that you have to run to win big in college football now. That’s what’s most important.

That's why I like Elliott more he runs a modern offense and it has scored on Saban.

 

[HankHill]

Thank god

"Small insight: Tee and Elliot are very close. Graham and Eliot are close. Steele and Eliot are close. White and Eliot are close. You can read this two ways: 1- He’s a trusted resource for a common group, or 2- He’s a backup solution that involves keeping some staff."

From the FF @Stoerner Fumbles

Tennessee AD Danny White to consult players on coaching search I've become leery of candidates who haven't had head coaching experience.

 

[BruinVol]

White shouldn’t make the call on steele as dC

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I know its Forde but thank God

Per sources: Bassmaster_vol is not a candidate at Tn. He has a family and doesn’t have time for it.

I like Harsin, but Elliott scares me more.

 

[jakez4ut]

Not gonna lie... As Hank takes go... They ain't all bad this morning...

One caveat... Pruitt was/is considered a great defensive coach. There was no real buzz about him as a HC candidate, except the interview at MSU. Elliott is widely regarded as a very good HC candidate.

Carry on...

I still go with plowman's statement on HC experience. If Elliott is the floor... Fine. We've had much lower floors before lol

 

[HankHill]

No it doesn’t lol. There’s so much more that goes into being the head coach at a major power.

 

[MrVolton]

I gotta agree with you on this. To call Elliot a better coach than Chadwell is kind of dumb.
He could end up being a better coach than Chadwell... but right now, Chadwell IS a head coach and just won coach of the year.
Makes no sense to say Elliot is better, at this point at least.

There’s no way anyone can declare Elliott a better coach than Chadwell, but I would just about guarantee he’s got better connections in the coaching fraternity than Chadwell. FWIW

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Zero to flying off the rails in no time flat......

This place...

We have one nug to chew on and nothing else lol. What else are we supposed to do? There is no other info to discuss.

 

[VolInNorthCack]

What if Elliot is being poached for OC/HC in waiting? Because everybody knows Matt Campbell wants an NFL gig sooner rather than later. Maybe White playing the long game already?

As plausible as any of the other BS is thrown around in here.

 

[Catbone]

UCF almost hired Elliott when White was AD

 

[goooooovols]

I've never been to Ohio. Can't imagine i ever will

I live in Dayton Ohio, spend most of my time planning how I and when I can make trips to Tennessee...
