Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Volsfaninva917]

Okay, how many coaches have are being sued currently for having an unsafe environment due to hazing AND had to testify in a gang rape trial and was also sued by the head trainer that was fired but wasn’t processed because of a state law where he field three says too late?

Read the lawsuit, the hazing one is 100% BS. The other one was dismissed

We could get Franklin and people are going crazy. And y'all say I bitch and whine about everything.....

Tweet from 2019.

Corbin is one of the most respected in the biz. Doubt he’d support someone he thought wasn’t a good person or had questions about their morality.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I’ll be happy about winning again.

However, I’m going to feel like a POS for going along with this.

 

[Aesius]

Would Franklin say "the one thing Tennessee always does is kick the **** out of Vandy" after we beat them next season?

 

[tvolsfan]

I still think you guys are all crazy for thinking Franklin would actually take this job.

String us along? Maybe
Leave a much better situation for ours? You’re setting yourselves up for disappointment.

Bruce Pearl was what a dumpster fire Tennessee basketball program needed. Someone like JFrank or Lane is probably what our dumpster fire of a football team needs. We ain't going to win on talent, will need to be on a us against the world attitude.

Was just talking yesterday to my coworker about how Franklin and Bruce have very similar jerk personalities. I think he would have huge success here.

Sonny Dykes before James Franklin

While this is something that needs to be vetted and is a little concerning, it’s not necessarily unhirable. People get sued all of the time, and some of those suits are frivolous. Some people get named along with others when they didn’t take part. I see it a lot.

How many FBS football coaches have been racked up in two lawsuits in the past year and also had to testify in a gang rape trial?

 

[justinvol88]

Pruitt and Elliot shouldn’t be compared. Pruitt clearly had red flags: cheating on wife at FSU, constantly fighting with coaches at UGA, and then being a “great DC” at Alabama.

What are the red flags for tony Elliot?

1. Being a “great OC” at Clemson
2. Was only co-coordinator entire time up until this year
3. Only has experience at Clemson. Knows only one way of doing things.
4. People are also over looking the year they had Kelly Bryant. Yeah they made the playoff but that was largely because of defense. 6 points vs Bama that year, 14 vs Auburn, 24 vs GA Tech, 24 vs Syracuse. It wasn’t like they were a great offense. He’s been great with Lawrence and Watson but outside of that has he really been that good???

I am no doctor, but I don't believe that to be a butthole

it was a figure of speech, trippie redd style

 

[Maryvillevol37]

Didn’t Callahan say Franklin turned UT down last night?

 

[BruinVol]

The only important question. What kind of offense does franklin run?

He just hired yurcich

I did. I don’t necessarily know if it’s BS or not. The other one was dismissed because it was filed three days after the cutout point, not for its lack of proof.

If it is Franklin it would be a good hire and as far as background checks between being vetted at Penn State and possibly here—I don’t think he’d still be employed if there was anything found. When is the last time we did any kind of vetting or background checks on any of the idiots we’ve hired in the past? DW is doing his homework.

 

[CharlestonVol15]

Little read about PSU vetting of Franklin. The lawyer in me is having a major internal battle with the UT football fan in me

Kind of like Austin Pope’s exit interview talking about the culture. It needs to be more about thinking it’s cool to run through the T, get pictures taken and then get blasted by 30 to Bama. We need to play with a big ass chip on our shoulder.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Didn’t Callahan say Franklin turned UT down last night?

No, he only said we offered

 

[DustyRockSolid]

White "working" on meeting with the players

As of an hour ago, players had been told nothing of a meeting.

Sonny Dykes before James Franklin

Imma need you to log out for me.

Not going to lie, not sure how I feel about the potential of James Franklin as the hire. But in all fairness, I trust what I've seen from the new administration, and ADW is a rock star! The thing that I think about is that any negativity surrounding the hire is a moot point, because Franklin is too big an ass to care what people think about him.

I am intrigued at the National perception, I'd rather it be that UT was a better school than PSU (which it is) vs. some contrived health thing with his daughter being part of the narrative, but I guess whatever helps them sell it. The one thing I want in a coach is someone who loves UT, who sees the potential that can be achieved here and will dedicate himself to restoring us to SEC and National prominence. I can't help but think, that this would've been JF agenda walking into PSU as well, where he's not been able to get over the hump at all.

Like I say, conflicted how I feel about this one.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

PSU against OSU. 1-4 for sure but a win and 2 1 point losses against B10's Alabama is pretty good.

2016- Won by 3
2017- Lost by 1
2018- Lost by 1
2019- Lost by 11
2020- Lost by 13

Whole thing is good if you have time to Kill
