Nobody is the new rikberry

Where have you been haha

 

[drvenner]

I see you have thought about this a lot. I would love for you to show your work on this take

His take is based upon the fact that TE is not who he wants. Simple as that.

 

[Dustin4Vols]

Why would Franklin come here other then money? Any connections here besides coaching at vandy?

At least I don't have to watch your stupid Fleck boat rowing gif now. lol

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Caller on Basilio saying Elliott would bring George Quarles on staff.

I could see that

 

[Paper_Towel]

Per the podcast part of Chadwell's personal email has "give him six" in it. And he named his son after Heath Shuler which we all know. Just hire him.

 

[hotcypress]

I dont have sub to athletic but article up

it's from yesterday. it hasn't been updated. Feldman is just bumping it, which may be a sign that he's hearing one of the guys he discussed is close to taking the job.

 

[LotteryPick]

CM called plays for Tahj Boyd and a frosh Watson.

Elliot has had an upperclassmen Watson and Tlaw. The one year they didn't have a generational QB they got embarrassed by Bama and lost to Syracuse.

Haha, alright man. One has championships and the other doesn't.

You can choose to compare to completely unrelated guys to each other but that is lazy. Any hire we will make is a huge risk. The non-risks aren't coming.

 

[Power T-Rev]

Where is Lovie's plane. It has to have been refueled by now

SF just said it’s Franklin that has agreed to terms in the football forum

Who is a “big boy hire”

Frost, harbaugh, and Herman, we’re all considered “big boy” hires and none of have really worked. So who is this “big boy”

Harbough is 49-22 at Michigan. I'd take that in a heartbeat.

Frost/ Herman came from non P5 schools. Not exactly a big boy hire. If you want to take sh*t serious, replicate how A&M handled their last search.

 

[Aesius]

I think it's down to Elliott or Chadwell at this point.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Just run the coach out at halftime of tonight BBall game lol

 

[give_him 6]

Oh. Yeah. Gotta fly Gruden in the back door

So give me 2-3 “big boys” we should be going after. Jimbo is the exception and he has been lack luster until this year.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

I think the hate for Elliot is out of control. You can be hesitant that he isn't a head coach, but literally everything else about him screams that he would be a great hire and HC. In an ideal world, TN would be hiring literally whoever they wanted. We are not in an ideal world for UT, and I would venture to say we're at a lower point than ever aside from having a proven AD at the helm

Pruitt has done a helluva number on our fan base. I think there are a lot of positives to take away from Elliott. I get that there are parallels with Pruitt, but it’s not like they seem to share any similar personality traits. At all. White may be new, but he’s not stupid and big time people close to the situation wouldn’t allow him to hire a Pruitt clone w/o some serious pushback. If Elliot knows exactly what he’s getting into and still wants this beyond the money then I have no issue with the hire. We have some pieces on offense that he could walk right into and mold into his vision. I honestly believe that.

 

[Rizzo924]

I just got clarification from someone. UT is not avoiding Sexton clients. DW has just put word out that he will not take calls from anyone doing Sexton’s bidding (boosters in particular). This puts some stress on pursuing Sexton clients (they signed with him for a reason), but has not eliminated them completely. So you can’t rule his clients completely out of the picture.

Well this is interesting. I’ve only ever associated boosters as advocating for schools, never thought of them as working on behalf of agents or even specific coaches.

 

[Dudley Smith]

I've heard some rumors on a few assistants for Elliott, so I'll try to do this and fill in some gaps.

HC: Elliott
OC: I'd guess Chad Morris because he's available.
RB: Graham
WR: Tee or Justin Stepp
OL: Alex Atkins or Thomas Austin
QB: JP Losman

DC: Steele or Todd Bates
DL: Todd Bates
LB: Steele or Andrew Warwick
DB: Mike Reed or Charlie Harbison

Marion Hobby is also an option on the defensive side, and Joe Craddock on the offensive side. Craddock is the leading candidate at MTSU for their OC position.

No Rodney Garner even if we keep Steele?

Caller on Basilio saying Elliott would bring George Quarles on staff.

That's Jeeker. He's been calling for George Quarles to be at least the OC at Tennessee for ten years now. For once, I'd be willing to find him a spot.

Elevator going back up.

He won in the SEC with Vandy. Not my favorite dude, but he's a coach who will win and recruit well. If it's him that's huge. Immediately puts UT back on the map.

No mention of Campbell, waste of a search

Some yesterday were saying moving closer to Vandy hospital for his sick daughter
