Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[volbeast33]

Dumbassery. It's not about liking the guy, it's about hoping for someone better, more proven.

There is hardly any such thing as proven besides a very select few.... it’s about knowing what you are looking for and getting the right fit.

 

[BruinVol]

You must live a miserable life, Steele is the only coach I seen you talk good about unless I missed it and I usually try to scroll on past your comments because its all doom and gloom with you.

Rodgers
Gardner

And yea I like Willie Mack and JJ as well

 

[Weezer]

No, some people are doom and gloom, and saying it's a suck hire. We don't know.

And some are saying it's a great hire, but we don't know that either. And for some, the fact that we don't know is the real problem. Some of us feel we could have landed on someone more proven.

Why did the RB coach JH had at UCF leave ?

 

[VolGee4]

I shouldn’t sound like I don’t think it’s meaningless. It’s not and it does mean he can manage a football team and do it well. I just don’t think it means much at all toward what we need that position to do best and that’s recruit

All I will say is there are good coaches out there who can recruit to UT, and we don’t know their names. We don’t have to have people that we already know about. There are good, young recruiters all over the country who had to get their first shot.

Now there's some smoke. Brice may be laying the foundation here.

I think he’s a good coach, but can Tennessee wait until his season is over?

 

[volbeast33]

i see absolutely no upward movement on his resume

Successful coach of smaller college.... hired as offensive coordinator at conference USA team where they sweetened the deal by naming him associate head coach..... I’m glad to have new blood out there.

Agreed

I don’t think this guy fits the “young” recruiter mold. If I was going to pick a coach without big boy experience I’d have targeted a hardesty type younger coach

He’d be ok

much rather have Rodgers

Where exactly has our old tried and true method got us over the past several years.

 

[buffaloblue]

Really like the RB coaching hire.

 

[BloodShovel]

Report: Rice is losing their offensive coordinator to the SEC

Progress! Hopefully the rest of the pieces fall into place soon.

 

[volbeast33]

Why did the RB coach JH had at UCF leave ?

Did he leave or did JH decide not to bring him..... I know there was rumors of JH thought about bringing him as an off the field coach.

I think JH had just hired a new one

I want to know where the old one went

 

[butchna]

I mean you don’t forget how to play the game.... played better as a true freshman.

Sherrer might’ve been a better coach than @85SugarVol gave credit.

Conklin - DC/Secondary
Steele - LB
Garner - DL

 

[Vols4us]

Some of you are already building your e-cred cases for predicting failure before the team even practices.

 

[VolGee4]

Agreed

I don’t think this guy fits the “young” recruiter mold. If I was going to pick a coach without big boy experience I’d have targeted a hardesty type younger coach

Jerry Mack is 40, and Monterrio Hardesty is 34, and Mack’s resume is far more impressive. Mack has 31 more victories as head coach and can claim conference titles.

Mack already had head coach victories at Hardesty’s age.

WHOOOPS ...Veered out of my lane....back to the corner I go.

 

[Devo182]

How is Conklin? His track record looks pretty "meh".

Yea and that’s why he’s “old”

like I said I’d go younger if I was going with no big boy football experience

 

[butchna]

That wouldn’t be an option. He wants in he needs to accept and report.

Gravy if that happens.
