Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Aesius]

He develops the RB, which is arguably Cle.son's best position. Would he have the talent maybe not, but could he get the talent. Elliott already has in roads with top guys across the nation, and almost certainly lands us Ty Simpson. Steele is also a good DC who has in roads with Elite talent all over the south as well. You go down a road where its Chadwell and I feel confident in saying he would have a hard time even getting kids to pick up the phone and listen. You think Walter Nolan knows who a Jamey Chadwell is?

None of this matters if Elliott isn't cut out to be a head coach in the SEC. Or a head coach anywhere, period. And we have no idea if he is.

*PSA....we're operating on speculation from information that we made up on our own...

continue.

No one knows anything. AV has said this multiple times, yet everyone keeps talking themselves over the cliff

 

[Z06VolinWV]

SF claiming an offer was accepted last, why hasn’t there been anything released

SF and AV said it won’t happen over night with the depth of this deal. Reading is fundamental folks!
It’s not like buying a pair of shoes.

 

[Ashevolle]

One more thing..Tony Elliott is a better version of James Franklin before he got a HC gig..in every possible freaking way. Does anybody argue with that?

NO disagreement there and I really like TE. But Franklin has a body of work at a HC that is hard to achieve. Can Elliot get there? Sure. Is he guaranteed to be as good Franklin? Absolutely not.

 

[jakez4ut]

If Dabo is just a cheerleader and Tony Elliot is actually in charge of developing players, wouldn’t that mean Clemson struggles next year?

You can’t have it both ways.

sure i can. lol.

all y'all are doing here today is filling the information void with worst case scenarios, per each poster's speculation/opinion...............lol.

Should have done that last time around. I think this time it has to be bigger.

I’m very impatient

No way TE has the red flags JP did.

When JP was hired literally every player he had coached came out and talked about how great of a leader he is.

 

[Jackcrevol]

It's hard to believe that Fulmer & Pruitt weren't given the option to just walk away without any further investigation, am I wrong.

it was hung around their necks. nuclear killed us

I would go along with that, I just don't want a coordinator. They are the ultimate gamble.

 

[KeepinUpWithJones]

I'm tired of reading posts where people are complaining about a hire that hasn't happened yet

 

[snowvols]

Also had Watson and Lawrence at QB lol. Tough not to win with those two

Made the playoff with Kelly Bryant

Source just sent me this. Not sure which Starbucks location but DW was there.

My first thought is that Rodney Garner only has a "d" in his first name.

True that but Anyone can coach with better talent than anyone else on the field. I want a guy that wins with 2-3 stars. That guy can coach and develop.

 

[give_him 6]

Basilio is completely wrong about Sonny Dikes getting an offer. Danny White's sister is an Assistant AD at SMU. I believe he utilized his connections to create a smoke screen out there. These ADs do that type of stuff.

Tony, Matt, and Brian - I know you read VolNation. You are wrong on this one.

 

[jakez4ut]

SF claiming an offer was accepted last, why hasn’t there been anything released

cause he was wrong/misinformed/made it up?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Say Elliot take this job and Dabo plays for another National Championship next year.

Then what are you going to say?

What? College football is as much about the Jimmie's and Joe's not thr X's and O's. Clemson is still going to be ok next year. The more important stuff to look at would be the numbers. Do they land Simpson? How many guys do we steal? Offensively where are they ranked compared to when Elliott was there. Really weak argument.

 

[Behr]

Last night.

Cool!

You doing alright?

he's been around today.....yes. lol. reminiscing about cut off legs.....how you doin' behr?

Good to hear. I'm doing good just trying to keep it between the ditches. You and your family aight?

Olive Branch

 

[BigOrangeVols]

Tony Basillo knows nothing.

I’ll go to bat for him....he was correct on everything w Pruitt and Fulmer going

 

[yourstruly23]

I'll give you that one..
but when you look at the overall body of work there's no comparison right now..
Franklin has a much better chance at success here.. not saying Elliott won't succeed.. we're comparing a guy that has essentially got the job done at two different places as HC compared to a rookie..

 

[Smokeyshowl66]

What if we are all just characters in the Truman Show?

 

[HankHill]

if you think for a minute that TE wasn't involved in that game then I don't know what to tell you

I think Clemson was just over powered up front in that game more than anything. Ohio state was very good in the trenches and Justin fields played out of his mind. They were bound to lose that game regardless.

BuT DaNnY WhItE iS a WiNnEr, a ReAl Ad

Danny White can be a good AD and still not be able to convince a homerun type hire to come here, we have no idea what the sanctions are going to look like. Perception of this job is not what it used to be, that has nothing to do with him.
