Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Kingston Vol]

Chadwell sure, Elliott no and I say that because he's never done it at any level and has never done it away from Clemson.

Legitimate fear - I just believe in his ability to score points and recruit well.

I think it's like hiring Kiffin in 2009.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Napier would win here.

 

[Ace]

I think Chadwell or Elliott are the right hires.

I was hearing Elliott last night, but not 100%.
Fan negativity is a real deterrent to hiring a sitting coach.

 

[KingtUT]

Just hire a coach already and let him start the build. We are losing days we clearly need.

No. Absolutely no.

 

[BigSteve09]

As of right now, Neyland Rising is liking posts from Saturday afternoon.

What a race to run

You’re not 100% if you heard Elliot? You going deaf?

 

[Kingston Vol]

Yeah, me too.

If we hired someone yesterday, my belief is it's Elliott. But I think we're interviewing more candidates today.

He’s like my 7th choice but I’d be willing to give him a chance as opposed to melting down over dykes

Is this enough to rule out Chadwell?

In 2018, the NCAA released a detailed report concerning numerous NCAA violations that occurred during Chadwell's tenure as the CSU head football coach. The violations ranged from using multiple ineligible players to players using scholarship funds to purchase electronics and jewelry from the campus book store. Ultimately, the NCAA sanctions vacated 18 wins from the 2014 and 2015 seasons and the 2015 Big South Championship. Also vacated were three wins over crosstown rival The Citadel, games during which CSU used ineligible players.

I know the AV post overshadowed any talk of what SF posted last night but I’m surprised it hasn’t gotten more talk.

he said those involved in the search were trumping DWs second choice of a Coordinator in favor of a HC. If that’s the case DW wasn’t hired to do a job at all. He’s just a puppet for the Haslams

right? dunno. bad? definitely not....i think there'd be significant praise for either one, with a side of cautiously optimistic.

no

 

[volbeast33]

That’s simply not true. Freeze actually got the talent Pruitt didn’t get any at all.

This is true.... he just allowed text messages and direct messages to leave an obvious trail of what he was doing.

 

[vol4015]

Is Cristobal a legit option? I would take him in a heartbeat.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Chadwell may be the best we can do. At least there is hope there. Hire him

Naw. We could have Fleck or Freeze right now. For some reason we have passed over Fleck and won’t look at Freeze. We better trot out a winner or we are still dealing with major internal issues.

 

[Ashevolle]

This all day. Lets gooooooo. JK. No chance we win 8 next year

8-4 definitely possible next year. Highly unlikely but possible.

 

[JCP201]

One of the knocks on Dykes is that he is VERY thin skinned. He wouldn’t survive 2 years here.

That does not work at Tennessee.. If it is someone like Campbell, he's going to have a lot of love and rope--(really haven't experienced that since Johnny Majors) but when the three year mark comes with an up and comer, the base starts getting restless.

I think it's like hiring Kiffin in 2009.

If he's coming here to be HC he doesn't need to call plays, period. I don't think he would stay out of it much like Pruitt. Recruiting, thats a huge unknown because he's been at Clemson. Everyone recruits "OK" here but "OK" doesn't get you anywhere.

Yeah, I guess I just mean as far as candidates we are legitimately attached to at this point.

Chadwell or Elliott would get this place fired up after the initial shock that Kiffin or Freeze weren't options.

I think the feet drag is intentional. Let fans and media frenzy froth over. Also makes it look like we exhausted things, then slip Mangino in whilst no one is looking.

 

[jakez4ut]

Please give me some hope man... this is horrible haha, but also fantastic.

my first, she had cholic for the first 3 months. we slept in shifts. i remember sitting on the couch one night around 2 in the morning bouncing this kid up and down on my knee, and telling my wife "who would do this more than once???" lol.

it'll get better....hang in there.

They purchased Jewelry from the campus bookstore? lol what did they buy a 10 dollar bracelet

 

[SLICKYINC]

Welcome to the Chadwell train boys!

 

[Aesius]

Maybe this is giving up, but I like that Chadwell would do something different here on offense. Eventually the game will change. Defensive coordinators will figure out how to stop these modern offenses and the pendulum will swing back in the other direction. If we try to copy what everyone else is doing, we're just going to do it a little worse than them because we won't have the same talent. And all the DCs will be ready for it.

Chadwell will bring something different to the table, and we may be able to get by with top 20ish recruiting classes and not have to recruit top 5 to stand a chance at winning the East.

I want Elliott calling plays - and I wanted Pruitt calling plays on defense.

The issue is dictating what the other side of the ball does - and Elliott has, by far and away, a better reputation as far as being able to work with others than Pruitt.
