Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[butchna]

Tremblay's size suggests he's more a DE. We're going back to a 4-3 front, right?

He’s a 4-2-5 DT. Would’ve been a 3-4 DE. Expect him to start…he’s plenty stalwart.

 

[Volator]

I know he hasnt coached first game. is it fair to criticize Huepel for the attrition)

Why would you want players NOT 100% invested in the program. A cultural change had to occur and with it personnel changes occur.

 

[drvenner]

Tennessee Volunteer football is not a "product" to me. I am a Vol because my family goes back 217 years in East Tennessee...My blood runs deeply orange.

Yes!! I know it is used a lot but calling my team a product bothers me very much.

part of being a head coach is recruiting & selling program. who else's job is it? i'm not saying fahr him. But its certainly warrants mentioning as a topic of discussion. part of assuming that responsibility is recruiting currents players.

Who's going to play DE? Honestly, I'm a little confused as to where guys are going to be lined up. Young, Baron, Eason, and Mohan are listed as Edge rushers. Middleton, Solomon, Butler, Blakely, Bumphus, Tremblay, Garland, Thomas, Simmons, Terry, Bailey, and McNeil are listed as our DL. So in a 4 man front, who is playing where?

I bet if they tested all 3 teams right now each team would have positive results.

But who cares anymore.

Test Vandy. Or don't test Vandy. But since they didn't earn it on the field, DQ 'em anyway.

He looks like a villain from an Austin Power movie where they spread the virus by whistling to disqualify teams.

And if the said player(s) don’t want to change, then they bear no responsibility?? Seems the majority of the roster has bought into culture. As with any organization, there are always people who will not buy in regardless and it is best to remove them and move on.

Imagine sitting next to that ****er for 9 innings.

It was a 10/10 hire...at the time. It's only with the benefit of hindsight that we know what happened. Shoop was strapped to a rocket in terms of his coaching stock when he came here. This stop severely damaged his career. Jancek was better than I thought at the time, but I'll never forgive 4th & 14 vs UF. We had that game. We had it.

Bruin was the only one that didn’t like the hire

 

[nicksjuzunk]

I have guys who can take care of guys like trippe and no one can find the bodies.

He looks like an Oak Ridge Boys reject

 

[drvenner]

I did not think it was possible, but I hate Vandy more today than I did yesterday.

I may need to borrow your emasculators sometime. No need to sterilize them.

Got a pair of vise grips?
Then you already have your tool…

I can't get blood on the floor again. My wife was super pissed last time.

 

[thistime]

This could be the poster child for every "Regular" at every beer joint in Nashville.

This just made me think of how funny it would be for a dad to put plastic up in his garage, like a scene from "Dexter", to scare the piss out of a daughter's BF.

He looks just like I imagined he would... except more so.

I despise those kind of words when it comes to sports...especially Tennessee Volunteer sports.."Product"..."Brand" etc. etc...I don't get emotionally invested in soup.

Who started that dumb **** anyway...talking idiot heads on ESPN?

The same one that started saying "natty."

I remember in 2017 thinking Greg Emerson, Andre Litaker, and Brent Lawson we’re gonna be in state lineman we built a defense around.

Good times.

Yeah I’ve learned not to get too excited about individual recruits.

I do believe you need highly ranked classes to have sustained success in the SEC and/or Playoffs so I don’t write off stars completely. But I think having a lot of highly ranked players just increases the odds that some of them will actually pan out. Hard to predict which ones will, though.
