Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[BloodShovel]

If the FU money is there why we discussing coordinators?

 

[volatil]

alone?

Guy keeps to himself too much imo

 

[mr.checkerboards]

alone?

Alontae is my guess

 

[reeceb73]

give me an example of anyone who has walked into a similar situation and brought any program back to a national contender....

Stoops is all I got

 

[90 Vol]

Gotta start somewhere.

I agree, but it shouldn't be here considering what we need right now. I just don't think we can afford to take a chance on another coordinator with no head coaching experience.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Tennessee needs to find a guy who's built a program, I'm sure Elliott is a decent OC and an even better person but nows not the time to hire someone to learn on the job

 

[butchna]

Who is bass wanting today

Back to Steele.

Watching random NBA highlights..bro if Allen Iverson was 3-4 inches taller, he would be the best player all time, firmly believe that.

I think Kobe said something similar about him

[vol81]

alone?

Alonte. Darn auto spell on this iPad ! Also added velus

 

[Dudleys87]

And what happens If no one checks all the boxes?

Pre-injury Derrick Rose WAS a 2 inch taller AI.

Watch some of those highlights too. Lateral foot speed that seems hard to even comprehend how it’s possible

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Hearing team leaders elected are Cade, carvin, Bailey, Velus, Taylor , butler, flowers, banks and Paxton brooks

Huge that they selected HB

Or if he had someone to play with other than Eric Snow and Aaron Mckie

DRose, AI, and D. Lill are my fav players

 

[Dudleys87]

If any of the local guys get it early it’ll be TB.

 

[Vols_Life]

Only one that comes to mind is bob stoops to oklahoma. It was a dumpster fire and he righted that ship in two years.

My dad is an OU alum, and he is where we are now. Total apathy and barely watched them. In comes Bob and he rarely missed a game from them on.

Yep, and also will be hard for another school to leak any news since there is no association...

 

[BigSteve09]

If the AD search was quick and the coaching search is considered warp speed, then we should have a good idea by tonight...

 

[Vols2DaWall]

That seems like a decent group of people to be leaders. Hopefully we start having this player-led leadership we've been missing since Dobbs and Barnett

 

[vol81]

Huge that they selected HB

Yep, I was hoping to see this. Huge that Banks was chosen. Kid could be a big time player next year

 

[volatil]

Well pretty obvious I’m not doing anything today

 

[Smokey'sHandler]

I can’t help but feel like we are overlooking someone. I believe at this point we purely need to be focusing in on someone who is a proven program developer, player developer and developer of young men. If you get someone of that mold on the hill they would have the potential to be successful as soon as year 1 with our current roster. I couldn’t give a crud about recruiting ties to the south and all that mess. Recruiting will come with success. But first you need a good developer to be successful.

I think Campbell meets that criteria but I also believe there is someone out there we are missing that also fits this mold.

 

[Deebowbear]

Gotta start somewhere.

Not here we have had enough underwhelming hires

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I think I have cracked the code of who it is. I am not going to say, but @InVOLuntary @volatil and @Sugaray13 will be able to vouch for me when the hire is announced.

Bottom line - Possible NCAA sanctions limits the coaching pool no matter the money. DW has a tough job ahead. There is a reason he has asked the fan base to be positive on social media. Coaches are growing tired of players, coaches and families being attacked on social media. Unfortunately deserved or not, Tennessee has a perceived reputation of extreme negativity and coaches notice it.
