Someone's trying to change the narrative.

Lane is Dykes but with more baggage and a funny twitter account.

*And lots of experience as a HC

 

[rekinhavoc]

If I was Elliott's mentor I would advise him against his first HC job be at a SEC school that just got humped by a gump.

 

[90 Vol]

I would rather go with one of the top mid major HC's (Napier, Fickell, Chadwell) or (Kiffin, Freeze, Herman) than the coordinator route. I think HC experience is important given our current situation. I especially don't understand why you wouldn't make Bob Stoops a substantial offer.

 

[Sleegro]

it was strongly suggested. They said this isn’t the place to try someone out, and they’re going after a proven winner. Going against that statement would be hypocritical.

Post the quote.

Good sign from Knox news to be putting out articles

SING IT KENNY!

Sorry guys just had Taco Bell

You guys are gonna swallow elliott just like you did pruitt and your gonna convince yourselves that elliott is better than pruitt. Good luck with that. Also. The players still haven't been told anything about a meeting yet.

Our fan base is bananas I’m still waiting for the over/under when we call for DW’s firing. I’m thinking 5 minutes after Tony Elliott is announced.

If our roster attrition stays at the same rate, the only thing we can be contending for in 2-3 years is 7-8 wins. Gotta have depth to win in this league. And not just bodies, but quality.

Yep. Transfers ripped the top off our last two classes and potential sanctions are going to keep things thin. Won’t be any room to miss on guys.

You do realize that players go to Clemson because of Dabo and the Clemson brand and not Elliott right? Players go to bama for Saban, not Pruitt. At a certain point, the school and HC sell themselves

Yet, if Saban retired tomorrow, that program would almost certainly fall back to mortality within 1-2 years. Why? Because without the genius behind the machine, the success cannot continue. What we don't yet know is how much of Clemson's fortunes are based on Elliot. His offensive numbers are next level. Of any potential OC hires, I think he's got the most upside in the country.

Someone's trying to change the narrative.

Same thing AV has said.

 

[TennSam]

Going to be Elliot or Chadwell.

I would be ok with Chadwell but you can’t start him out at $8 million.

 

[JAllen18]

So the top target is still deciding?

IMO yes. But we're covering all our bases.

 

[jakez4ut]

it's like a dinner bell went off in here....vibe changed on a dime. lol....

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Clemson was not a powerhouse pre-2007, but whatever. This is obviously a different rebuild. That wasn't the point.

Clemson wasn't a powerhouse but they had had recent successes. TE didn't show up for OC until Morris left for SMU long after they were rolling.

 

[KingtUT]

Funny how so many want a coach hired in three to four days and then will complain about us not getting the right coach. You know its true.

 

[White Bread]

Sorry guys just had Taco Bell

I hate you

 

[VOLinCO]

Hubbs needs to post a single word tweet: “Petersen?”

That would keep the masses clamoring for a few hours.

 

[KeyVol14]

I thought this search was going at warp speed?

 

[eVOLve]

Chadwell
T Elliott

 

[mr.checkerboards]

True. Whoever it is needs to get a QB and interior lineman on both sides shored up.

Yep. Until we can stack upperclassmen on both sides of the LOS we are going to be in trouble.

Our fan base is bananas I’m still waiting for the over/under when we call for DW’s firing. I’m thinking 5 minutes after Tony Elliott is announced.

Paying an AD $1.8M/year just to go out and hire Tony Elliott would be so on brand for Tennessee. Might as well have just taken a bunch of bags of cash out into the street and set them on fire.
