Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

No, he’s not.

He’d easily get worked by Saban, Day, and Sweeney.

i completely disagree. Strong motivator, incredible mind of a coach, and as I know multiple people who have played for him who would run through a brick wall for him to this day. He was brilliant in getting Baylor back on track. He buys into a lot of sports science stuff that I think will be huge in the future.

He’s not leaving Carolina imo, but I think extremely highly of Rhule.

Dude if we pulled Mike Tomlin I'd lose my ****. He's an amazing coach.

Didn't Tomlin come here to visit Kiffin when he was here? Maybe a Super Bowl winning coach would like Knoxville scene. The picture is grainy.

So is it smart to go to sleep expecting to see Heupel introduced as the next coach tomorrow.... is that the safe play

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I see people banging down Josh’s door to hire him.

People are banging down Lane’s door?

 

[Weezer]

I was so mad, I wanted Brady to lose. I don't like Brady, but I cant say anything bad about him anymore.

I just can't fathom what LaFleur was even thinking.

 

[Birdie]

We just want a proven P5 coach.

Me too.. Sounds like we offered Franklin $8M and he said no. Saban is the greatest college coach ever and makes $9.3M. TN backed up the brink truck and nobody opened the door. Had we done this after Kiffin or Dooley we'd gotten a yes. What else are we supposed to do? Do we think vol Twitter/social media slamming every coach helps us attact a good coach while we have a crap roster, one of the toughest schedules in the country annually, and NCAA violations coming down the pike?

Reality is we need a competent coach who can stabilize this ship and make TN respectable. Because no A luster seems to want this job.. Since we don't have many options at least JH has consistent top 10 offenses and a strong track record of developing QB's.

Tomlin I think would be a great recruiter. But that’s a pipe dream

I know its a pipe dream. But more fun to think about then arguing about Huepel some more.

That or Skip Holtz. This thing is pretty fluid by the hour.

NM. Alpharetta...

I’m wondering if I missed your point on the Roswell thing now

For me the safe play is to wait for the national guys to break something. Until then, no one knows nothing.

He's young he will learn. But its a recurring theme in the NFL, their coaches make a living off of making dumb decisions.

And now that you posted that, I wonder as well.

 

[Volsfan895]

He’s 2-0 against him

Do you see any programs that want him over Kiffin?

 

[99Vol]

3 P5 schools + 1 NFL team did...

 

[Ashevolle]

It appears we do

 

[MoCo_Vol]

One thing I just learned about him is he is a defensive guy, I always thought he had an offensive background.

Played WR & coached that position group a few stops, but the bulk of his tenure he was a defensive guy. He's also only 48, originally from Virginia and graduated from Memphis. I don't know if he'd actually come here or not, but if ever there was a coach you wrote 8m a year for that'd be the guy. (He's making 7m a year right now & his contract ends this year... ).

So for those who are following, the poster said it wasn't Payton and wasn't Gruden.

to the pit of misery. Hey that would be a good alias for our stadium The Pit of Misery! Seems like everybody’s stadium is Death Valley but we would have the 1 and only pit of misery

I highly doubt it happens, but its a pipe dream and fun to think about.

I'm going to bed with zero expectations for a coach tomorrow. We'll see how it plays out.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

For those following along, the poster said we figured out who it is, so its Tomlin. Danny W actually approached Tomlin about this job....

 

[Volsfan895]

He’s 2-0 against him

Is Butch Jones better than Steve Spurrier?

 

[cnick14]

I know its a pipe dream. But more fun to think about then arguing about Huepel some more.

I agree I bought into the fact money wasn’t an issue this time and we still look to be getting a lower tier option. We have to empty the bank I think to get out of this.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

True or false:

Vols were only paying the same way the rest of the conference does. And, they didn’t “just get sloppy,” they just had an employee flip on them and turn whistleblower.

 

[SweetasSoda]

I missed a lot by skipping. Could someone tell me how VQ came to the conclusion it is JH? (Before they said the inks not dry of course.)

 

[jakez4ut]

I've heard of one....
