Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Orange Studs]

We went nuclear on our own program, snitching on our own coaches and players for taking benefits, giving ourselves a self-imposed death penalty and you’re telling me we’re going to hire another coordinator? I just don’t buy it.

Exactly.

 

[HankHill]

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

Elliot is one of many that can get us to where we want. All I’m saying.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I read some articles and watched some videos on him today...... it had me wanting to row the boat..... his offense is unique..... it can control the clock and is one of the tops in the nation ion explosive plays.

Fleck is a cornball...he is also a good coach. He is also not a slimy snake oil salesman like Botch.

My pappaw was a big "slogan" guy...he was also one of the most respected and sincere men I have ever known.

A Fleck hire doesn't excite me much either, but we are stupid for bitching about stupid stuff like that.

 

[Headvol]

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

Could care less

 

[volfaninpa]

Since the AD press conference yesterday, we've heard some rumblings about Kiffin, Campbell, and now Elliot.

Gosh, I hope this search doesn't go too long into next week because we'll be up to 20 or 30 names if this pace is kept up.

 

[m1al]

I know its Forde but thank God

Ohhh Gawwd, he turned us down.. This is a disaster..





Did I do that right?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

White shouldn’t make the call on steele as dC

I didn't mean it like that. More so, Steele recommends Elliott. White is impressed by Steele, so Elliott moves up the list a little bit. Elliott likes Steels so he tells White he would keep him around.

 

[Kingston Vol]

When agents start leaking this stuff, it means a decision is close.

I personally believe we called Brown, but who knows.

 

[OrangeDrip]

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

I’m hearing different. Sources are saying that contract negotiations have started and White is throwing it all at Bassmaster_Vol to become head coach at UT.

[Rishvol]

I'll accept Elliot if I know the top 3-4 turned us down

 

[Devo182]

In case it ran across anyone else's mind - because Tony Elliott and Jeff Scott were CO-OCs for 5 years - it was Elliott who called the plays. So, there's that.

 

[BruinVol]

UCF almost hired Elliott when White was AD

I want to know why he didn’t
did he choose JoshH over his or did Elliot turn it down

 

[InstrumentalVol]

Elliot is one of many that can get us to where we want. All I’m saying.

You said the same thing about Doug Marrone dude lmao

 

[BigSteve09]

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

If Dr. White picks Elliot I’m gonna roll with it because this one hire will make it break his time here and maybe his career. If it is Elliot I hope we save some of that FU money for a true can’t miss staff.

I would be a little let down from what my expectations have been since he was hired but let’s be honest we will all be right back foaming at the mouth when he lands Simpson’s commitment and has us as a front runner for Arch.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

UCF almost hired Elliott when White was AD

That would’ve been a good hire for them. Not for us

 

[jakez4ut]

We went nuclear on our own program, snitching on our own coaches and players for taking benefits, giving ourselves a self-imposed death penalty and you’re telling me we’re going to hire another coordinator? I just don’t buy it.

Agreed

 

[m1al]

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.

Not much discussing that I can see. You got some freaking out and others trying to talk them down..

I think we have some potential hostage negotiators in here...

 

[CobbVol]

From that was said by White at the Presser about hiring an experienced head coach he would lose a ton of credibility as the new AD if he goes the other way and hires another coordinator. That's a huge risk.

Didnt say that. But did say:

Integrity is a huge part of how they are. I want a head coach that I can trust and can be a role model for student athletes. ... AND

What's different about them that going to change things in a common space. I typically narrow my list to who I'm comfortable with intregity wise, who is distinctive and ultimately it comes down to a gut feel.

 

[Smokeyshowl66]

So UT would be a better job right now than a don't have to recruit or travel much high paying NFL job?

Do any of us know his motivation?

 

[BigSteve09]

I finally get on to check the updates and everyone is panicking over an old leak??? A name we had already gone crazy about??

 

[InstrumentalVol]

It was right in front of us the whole time! Lane Train!!

 

[johnfnkelly]

Elliot is one of many that can get us to where we want. All I’m saying.

Can’t even take this comment serious lmao

 

[Ashevolle]

Hubbs, Thamel, Feldman and other national writers have confirmed Danny reached out. Theres no shot he becomes our coach but people who advocated for Doug Marrone to be our HC think he would be good.

Why do you say there's no shot? Do you think White would engage in a pointless exercise when he wants to move quickly? Also, Feldman was mentioned as one of the media people to listen to about the potential hire. Elliott may very well be our next coach.
