Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[BucVol98]

Lol, of posters who bitch, you're at the top of the list.

So Steele isn't an option? sorry been gone for a couple may have missed something
Edit: my bad quoted the wrong post meant to quote the one about him making calls for 2 weeks

 

[Batman1948]

We will know when we know. Everyone is entitled to think what they will. I think it is funny that some people think it is their God-given right to know as soon as it happens.

No, you have it wrong----they want to know before the hires are made. They want to be a part of the process because it the person doesn't meet their standards, all hell will break loose.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Don’t know how you’d know that when nobody else has been briefed. So he was cold calling DC’s even tho they had no inkling of their future boss?

Coaches always, and I mean ALWAYS, call potential assistants around the country before they take a new job. It's not "cold calls."

Lol, of posters who bitch, you're at the top of the list.

********..the only thing I have really went off about was hiring James Franklin and burning the whole program down just to get rid of Fulmer and Pruitt.

And I will never apologize for how I feel about us trying to hire that ****** garbage human being.

I’m triangulating so many waffle houses

 

[Batman1948]

I'm referring to the 22 class. They are already competing with coaches, some who have years of relationships invested in these recruits. Every single day matters greatly.

JH is personally contacting the 2022 class guys---both in and out of state.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Objection, speculation & hearsay. You always speak in absolutes with no connection to anyone in the know, it's weird.

You have no clue who I am or am not connected with.

I'll tell you this: VolQuest got wind of the Heupel hire because he called Lebby Tuesday night and asked him if he'd be interested in coming to Knoxville with him. Coaches are some of the most talkative, gossiping people you can imagine. Word gets around.

It's also why I think it's so funny Danny White wants to crack down on leaks from the inside - what comes from the inside isn't the whole beast.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Anyway - it doesn't matter. No point in arguing about it.

We'll see how it goes when the hire is made.

I don’t believe you. I think you’re making up a lot of crap and calling it facts.

Edit: And to add...we’re not talking about HEUPEL with the “two weeks” juxtaposition. You’d be saying DANNY WHITE was making those calls while Franklin and Elliott were still in play.

 

[Sleegro]

Yeah, we'll see. I think Matt House would be a fine hire if we end up there.

But interviewing Jancek today after you've been on the job for nearly two weeks, plus the factors I mentioned earlier, pretty much guarantees to me that a few folks have turned it down.

Nearly 2 week huh? I guess maybe there's a big time zone difference between reality and narrative driven opinion stated as facts land.

That’s when you’re generally at your quietest...and errybody wins.

So it’s not just me reading this?

Control what you can control and it limits a clown show. He knows he can’t control outside but that isn’t under his watch

 

[Batman1948]

My bad. House. I don't know where I got White from.

You were thinking of the White House weren't you--------STOP IT----no politics in here

 

[Jack Burton]

I’ll take a Big John Janitors hire. Time to clean up this mess.

Try keeping up AU Fair Coaching Compensation Index.

I could get behind it and likely would. We've talked ourselves into Josh Heupel, we can talk ourselves into anything.

Nah, I know as much about you as I need to. You're clueless, and wear it with an air of arrogance that is hilarious.

 

[volbeast33]

Basilio said DC. And he was also the first person to mention Matt House yesterday.

So, I think, if we believe him on the latter, we have to believe him on the former.

But it does make sense they could be together - Jancek is not exactly a hot commodity.

Basilio throws out a lot of stuff and occasionally he is right.

 

[Sleegro]

So it’s not just me reading this?

Granted I'm not a read media good major or anything but I think I have a grasp of the calendar and a handle on the difference between facts and opinions.

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Bassilio is saying they're meeting with John Jancek today for DC.

I seriously hope this is a joke. He was not aggressive, that would make zero sense.

oh, he was aggresive....til he wasn't.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I don't know anyone with an "in" I read information as it becomes available from here, from twitter, from various sports websites/blogs.

I connect my own dots and have never presented them as being in any way more or less informed than the average poster on here. Regardless of who the DC hire ends up being I highly doubt that CJH or DW only called one candidate and that's the guy we hire, to believe that is naive. But to also believe every person who says they were contacted and decided to stay where they were got a legit offer is just as naive.
