Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Type Orange+]

My patients are going to be waiting in the operatory for a while as I sit in my office and F5 constantly

Top priorities first, Doc, I always say.

 

[CoachClick]

Agree, double edged sword. If DW and the university are good with it tho, what do ya do?

Support ETSU full time.

 

[BarrythesnoUT]

The media would crucify this program for hiring Franklin after taking the moral high ground in the press conference

Who, the guys who were going to run hit pieces on us no matter what we do? **** those guys.

Let them rot in hell and go pick another school

 

[McGeesPub]

nope. he's literally the only guy they could hire that would piss me off to no end.

Duly noted, but I meant no candidate would make every fan happy, not that you are in a group that would be unhappy about every candidate. Poorly worded on my part.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Dont upset people by bringing facts in here

No, James Franklin Didn't Cover Up Rape
Prosecutor says Franklin reached out to alleged rape victim

 

[Ten_Titans]

Or some of us understand how courts actually work so don't put as much faith in their findings. According to the courts, O.J. was innocent as well. You should avoid your generalizations. Like I said, they make you look dumb.

Yeah. It's totally like the OJ case . It's crazy you are demonizing a man with zero evidence other than some last ditch (failed) efforts by the defense, and somehow also taking the moral high ground.

You probably think witch trials are pretty pure too. Better safe than sorry.

Listen man. I'll have plenty of time to laugh at you guys for getting all up in your feelings because we hired someone who beat UT when it actually happens, on the off chance that it actually happens.

So I'm just going to table that absurdity until then. Deal? Deal.

 

[MarcoVol]

Is he an offensive minded coach? If so, I'm fine with it. I just want an offensive guy. passing on kiffin for Franklin, tho? Pure stupidity.

Your love for Kiffin is unmatched that’s for sure.

Franklin is a more proven coach and it’s not even close.

Did you feel the same way about AJ Johnson before he was cleared in court?

 

[Vol4ever]

So nothing new this morning, except more arguments. Good job by DW keeping things quiet.

 

[The Comb]

We're waiting.........

 

[Christian Lowe]

Let them rot in hell and go pick another school

 

[Vol4ever]

Did you feel the same way about AJ Johnson before he was cleared in court?

No, No, thats different. AJ played for us.

 

[VolInNorthCack]

This is what we were told, So this is what I expect...

 

[jakez4ut]

you don't follow up Schiano Sunday by hiring James Franklin....if some of y'all don't see why, that's unfortunate. but we're not trying a case in a court of law here.....i don't need proof of anything to determine if he matches the "integrity and moral compass" standards discussed on Friday.

it's non starter....

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Seriously when is Darnell Washington gonna announce something??

 

[bpvol]

I agree with your thinking.

Campbell is just such an insane target that I can't wrap my head around it happening (although I will be happy as anyone if it happens.)

Fickell and Fleck make the most sense to me - both are great coaches and program builders. Neither have any integrity issues in their past.

Specifically with Fickell, it had to have been made clear to him this year that a G5 team can't make the playoff in its current form. If you want to compete for it all, you have to move up. He was close to taking the Michigan State job last season so we know he wants to move if the situation is right.

Solid reasoning

 

[Govolsman98]

This is the kind of garbage PoS human beings this scumbag fills his program with..that is my point
View attachment 343887

So his teams are constantly riddled with rapists?

 

[jakez4ut]

soooooon.

Fisher was in Clay Travis pushing himself hard for college game. Claims he already has a staff of big name college coaching assistants and recruiters that would join him. He has not been contacted by TN

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Listening to Fan Run this morning, which typically I enjoy far more than the university mouth pieces at 99.1, but they are so tunnel visioned on their love for Lane Kiffin they're pretty much convinced no hire is good unless we hire Kiffin. They were incredibly lukewarm on Matt Campbell and don't think he'd be worth the money.

If Matt Campbell isn't "good enough" than who the hell do they think would be good enough for Tennessee?? Kiffin has melted their brains.

James Franklin is gonna be jealous when he finds out about this!

 

[yourstruly23]

Keep the white whale a secret.. that's fine.. who is number two? Sounds like he's already agreed to come on if #1 falls through.. let us know our floor!

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Nobody does a coach search like we do.No matter who it is it will be a 50/50 or a 25/25/25/25 split among the fan base.Like old Johnny said Legions of the miserable.
