If Low is indeed a preferred medium, that screams the AD resetting expectations.
A lot of contingencies look good against Dykes

That's exactly what I'm thinking as well. I'm guessing he was told no by top target and whoever he wants is somewhere between the level of Campbell and Dykes. I'd be thrilled with Chadwell compared to Dykes.

No...no one would care enough to show up. That's the level of apathy Dykes would generate.

Ditto for Elliott!

I’d be thrilled with chadwell period. I don’t think we land someone much better honestly with where we are

Dykes the distraction, and it's amateur. it's not it.

As I said over the weekend, Sonny Dykes is a name that you leak so when you hire Tony Elliott, so people’s first reaction is “well at least it isn’t Sonny Dykes.”

 

[Switch 625]

If you cant tell the diff between Fleck and Franklin, it must be one VERY blurry photo.

It’s like that blue/gold dress pic from a few years back.

 

[rocytop2624]

Just getting out of a long meeting. My friend confirmed we have reached terms with our next coach, as he predicted. I don’t think I’ll get more until it’s released, but am trying.

Was it the big Fish or just Kiffin or Fisher?

No to Elliott!

Chris Low is on 104.5 in Nashville right now talking up Tony Elliott and Sonny Dykes. He pretty much blew off the idea of Campbell, Fickell and Fleck.

Funny that those are two of the names that were leaked to John Brice over the weekend. It’s almost as if Low has no clue what’s going on......

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Looking more and more like a very underwhelming hire. Top targets said nope and now we are back to fall back options. Hopefully we land someone decent. That way we can get back to 7-8 wins a year.

There is nothing but speculation that ANYONE has said no.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

It's fleck or Campbell, and now i have to introduce Brady.. this dude is balled.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I certainly hope that’s the case

AU used that technique with Steele.

 

[thistime]

If the team hasn't been told they are having a meeting today I can't see them making an announcement this evening.. White wanted them to believe he was working for them and I can't imagine him or the University trotting someone out with out them knowing in some form first. Maybe they have been told but if that is so he has pulled off a secret operation that hasn't been seen since D-DAY and that's saying something.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

“I can win a championship at Tennessee...I’ll get you Sonny Dykes within 3 days.”

 

[YankeeVol]

“I can win a championship at Tennessee...I’ll get you Sonny Dykes within 3 days.”

LOL, right?!?!

Can't be

 

[herkyvol]

Just heard that the head of the Diversity and Inclusion department is demanding UT hire Dykes. TIFWIW

Because of....his name?

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Maybe we don't and he was just lucky in his guesses...

He has confirmed we have reached a deal with our next HC about an hour or so ago. Wait like the rest of us.

 

[onevol74]

People need not react if it is Elliott. It just means that the top tier coaches thinks the program is toxic and afraid to leap.

I would rather have Fleck, Campbell, Herman, or Chadwell, but....

I really think that Elliott could pull together a staff with Tee, Graham, Steele, Garner, and Chaney. He might pull a couple of coaches from Clemson also. That would be a fantastic recruiting staff for the Southeast.

Just because our previous incompetent AD made a bad assistant hire does not mean that Elliott would be a bad hire. If this would be our outcome at least we would find out who is for the program and who is a coach worshiper on here. He is not my first choice but we could win with this.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

So are you saying we got the primary target?

I don’t think so. Otherwise I imagine his post would have been more positive and exciting like last night’s bug nugget he dropped. This one reads more like “we got him...yay...?”

This is a reasonable take, and accordingly has no place here.

Group text can cover that in a matter of seconds.

Also, I think Dykes shares attorney representation with Dabo (Elliott?), Neal Brown, Tom Allen...

Someone besides Dykes is wanting his name linked- Low is well connected enough to not just buy the normal self-promotion ********. What favors are we earning by boosting Dykes brand? Or at the very least, who is Low trusting that benefits from that?

 

[Perspective]

Because of....his name?

I think they must have pronounced “Franklin” wrong
