Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Volsfaninva917]

You think there's a chance we can steal Venables?

Lol no

 

[UTK]

....
Don't think it's happening today

ZZZzzzzzZZzZ

 

[HankHill]

I’d be Shocked if it wasn’t.
They have worked together right ?

I don’t think even if they did... idk that it automatically means Elliot would want him to be his DC at the biggest job of his life.

 

[CoalVol2020]

Wow I have zero followers on twitter. I must suck.

I have 1 or 2, but they are spam accounts.

 

[VFL28]

Can’t wait until we are back to Sonny Dykes tonight.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Two planes from Knoxville that were blocked until 5 minutes ago are landing at the airport near Parker Search firm near Atlanta. Can we get that dude to go back there today & actually give us information?

What are the call numbers?

 

[KeepinUpWithJones]

Too many unknowns.

This isn’t the right time to be learning on the job.

50% of coaches in the top 20 right now are 1st time HC's. I don't think previous success as a HC is as good of an indicator of future success as some would like to believe. I would like Nick Saban as much as the next guy or even a guy like Franklin or Campbell, but if DW who hasn't missed yet, thinks TE is the guy then I'm good with that.

 

[Dudley Smith]

This is not me saying a man's skin color should be a consideration during a coaching search, and I want to stress that as such.

However, it would be nice for the school that had the first black QB in the SEC to continue the tradition by employing the only current black head coach in the conference. He would be only the 6th black head coach in SEC history.

Again, this is not me virtue signaling or whatever, but I'd be happy for Tennessee to continue its' role in progressing the sport and I think it would be valuable for us in the national media and on the recruiting trail. Good publicity can work for you.

Agree. It shouldn't be the primary factor in the decision, but definitely doesn't hurt and will earn us some good will nationally.

I'm trying to think of the previous five. Sylvester Croom, James Franklin, Kevin Sumlin . . . who else?

 

[Smokeyshowl66]

I still don't think there's much validity in anything we're hearing. I think DW is running a textbook search process and unlike his predecessors, he's got a plan, is executing it and he's definitely not working his way down a list one by one with a blank contract. We'll know when we know. Until then, beware of chasing the latest rumor..

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Highly recommended by a lot of folks in the business but since he doesent rush it like the last couple ADs he isn’t good.

What a joke.

If he could have landed Franklin you would have wanted him fired but I guess you don't fault him for trying

 

[ob79]

It's not a *preference*, it is a positive thing to point out if the results go that way.

No, I get it. And I don't disagree with the sentiment, especially in today's world...but I want dubs first, foremost, and forever.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Def got it from old Ben or that one annoying mf. “The dealer foooooooooor the people”

BRUHHHHH

 

[volfan1631]

Can’t wait until we are back to Sonny Dykes tonight.

and some will be rooting for him to be hired

 

[tomq_123]

Morbidly Funny

 

[snowvols]

I could see Steele as linebackers coach and Co-DC. Hoping Todd Bates or Marion Hobby are brought in as DC.

I could see someone like Mike Reed, the Clemson DB coach, getting a chance to be a DC too. He's coached in the NFL and has been at Clemson like 8 years now.

 

[reeceb73]

A name I haven't seen discussed - How about Lane Kiffin

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Everyone step back from the ledge and aspire to make posts that will be liked by @Neyland Rising in a few days.

Lol y'all gonna be surprised if @Neyland Rising finally posts and he is a negavols.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

do we know where she made that statement and under what circumstances?

if it was just a statement released unsolicited I agree with you

It was an already scheduled press conference. In relation to the specific quote it was her answer when asked to evaluate the 4-5 record this season.

 

[SugarCC]

Because he isn't a good AD if that's the case.

Do you wake up each morning and say to yourself, "I'm going to look like a fool again today, damn it; and, no one is going to stop me!"

 

[BruinVol]

I don’t think even if they did... idk that it automatically means Elliot would want him to be his DC at the biggest job of his life.

Steele left in 11 and Elliott got there in 11

Not sure if they overlapped

Joker and Mason.
