Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Dudleys87]

He couldn’t, though. All he could figure out was O-H, and then some other folks had to help him with the I-O.

Dumbest thing in sports.

Pay Jerod Mayo $3MM

He'd probably come for a Mil

 

[NMVol]

Hmm...

I’m sure he’ll take his fat new checks and a promise from OSU.

Genius, baiting OSU into a "Fulmer trap"!

 

[m1al]

Pay Jerod Mayo $3MM

I think you might be surprised at how many here would think that's a great idea....

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Cmon, you have to admit that you were reading into it by stating it was a diversity hire. If you don't care, why did you even say it in the first place? Is there another candidate that you think should have received the job, but didn't due to being white?

To be fair if we hire a minority it's a diversity hire. You're reading into what that means based on your own personal experiences/assumptions (we all do this, nothing personal). But by definition any minority or female coach hire is going to be a diversity hire.

Kodi Burns is a diversity hire, but that doesn't mean the hire had anything to do with Kodi's race.

Albert Haynesworth for DC?

This is what we gonna do guys:

Eat a healthy doughnut pregame meal. At halftime we take a nap. If we don’t win blame someone else.

 

[Nashvegas31]

The same thing is on the table here. If he comes here and has success they’ll be calling him again. That being said I think he’s just dangling a carrot in front of the horse to bleed all the money he can.

At this point it’s not about money. Final money offers are in on both sides. OSU pulling at the heart strings if they have players pushing on him then they really don’t want to lose him. Per Biddle on 247 OSU site. He felt good about AW staying as of last night before TN came in with 1.5M which is more than their DC makes. So he doesn’t see anyway OSU would pay that and it’s waiting on final decision.

 

[VolInDayton]

He'd probably come for a Mil

He did an interview with Ramon Foster recently and acted like he is really happy in NE and would only leave for HC opportunities.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Surely if people see we are throwing around the kind of money we are they start calling if we haven’t talked to them already. $1.5M is a lot of money

Dude was as dominant DL as the college game has ever seen, and y'all want to come in here with those lame jokes. take a hike and clear your mind dude.

 

[EdEcEko77]

I hate everything. so much for that @HoleInTheRoof text...

Remain calm. A lot going on behind the scenes but we’re still in a good position. Logic will outweigh emotion in the end. I’ll update should I hear anything else.

I would do the same thing..... it’s a rebuild and a challenge here..... at Ohio state .... he knows his name will grow for sure.

And he's also been an exemplary representative of his alma mater since ...

 

[Deebowbear]

There's enough smoke out there to make me believe this is over and we will have to move on to the next candidate. Maybe Clinkscales.

Tyson summers

 

[Weezer]

name one person that would come here and hit everything out of the park.

Maybe it’s time we all take a long look at what Tennessee is rather than point the finger at this person or that person.

It’s not desirable and there is no way for assistants outside of the guys Who know CJH and DW to gauge whether it’s going to work out so it’s worth coming here.

It's not okay for an AD to keep whiffing on his hires, never getting one of his top choices. No matter what condition we're in, that's not called success. DW is getting paid a lot of money to hire his third, fourth, or fifth choices. The whole point of bringing him in, in paying him more than most other ADs, was his supposed ability to "get his guy". That's not to say things won't still work out. But he hasn't landed "his guy" on multiple tries.

What about bickering? Is bickering OK?

 

[Jackcrevol]

trotting Jancek...

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

So is Clinkscale or Jancek Plan B?

You forgot about the insulin.

 

[mikemist]

The fact we haven't had a Brice/Feldman confirmation yet, makes me think it's still up in the air

 

[PA Vol]

A lot of cheddar to be throwing around for a first time coordinator.

Our culture is toxic..... he is working to change that......once he does.... I don’t think he will have this problem again.

Are you assuming that this is a product of his capabilities, or could this be the state of the program? I wonder if there is another AD that could have done any better? At this time, I tend to believe there is not. As someone stated above, the state of our program in three years will be his measuring stick.

 

[NMVol]

I bet it’s still good to this day.

Unless of course you are talking about intracellular residue which is a risk with any mayonnaise.
