Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

"The report is patently false. This decision was made solely by Penn State. Adidas is not helping to pay the buyout for Coach Franklin."
Statement released directly by the university.

"Adidas directed questions back to the University." -Source Sportingnews.com

You're the one refusing to acknowledge the reported truth, so you should have just been satisfied with the agree to disagree.

I have no problem acknowledging that Adidas had an opinion on the matter, but it is completely insane to think they pulled the trigger and are paying that.

There are tons of big money boosters and old guard at each university that are far too prideful to let a company push their weight around with them.
Adidas is not going to pay a full buyout for a college coach... as was reported.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Use of word patently in a sentence is immediately suspicious.

Piece, moran.

I thought I made it pretty obvious that I was taking the reporting of this as a "grain of salt" my point was I didn't fabricate/create the Adidas involvement...

I'm 100% certain they were involved, even if indirectly. But again Penn State could use 100% of those funds to fire Franklin, they could also use 0% of them. But having the new contract with Adidas is why they are able to make it happen today and not in 2 months.

Not talked about yet…

How about that game from Peyton Lewis. Stats won’t wow you, but he had a great game and I hope it means the game is slowing down for him.

2tds

Third and seven run to seal it.

Sprang a big block for Joey on his 20+ run.

And just played solid overall.

If he figures it out, my goodness he is a specimen.

Peyton brought his inner Terry Tate.

 

[tnvols72]

Has to be the most hated coach now

 

[Aesius]

Walking dead.

Would be brilliant to hire Kiffen. Would immediately increase interest from Vol fans.

I wanted them to draft Dart and hire Kiffin last year.

You realize professional teams couldn't give 2 ***** about colleges right?

[Jimmy Football]

Sounds about right.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

For some no plan is their plan…they usually fail…

 

[ndubvols]

Recruiting question since I haven’t been paying attention. Who’s all on the board still for 2026?

 

[walkenvol]

If Joey goes to Bama and wins he'll get all the hype he can handle

If Joey will just go to bama and slide before contract, I’ll hype him more! We’re toast if he messes around and gets hurt. For the love of all things Vol, please start sliding!

Been too long since we won in tuscaloosa...2003

That streak ends this year

 

[Ten_Titans]

It's completely obvious it will (should) be John Fassel.

Titans fire Callahan The same week Vrabel is bringing his 4-2 New England Patriots to town... Patriots by 2 tuddy's ...

Titans brass didn't want to watch Vrabel beat the coach they hired after they fired him.

so, can we admit the titans front office is clueless?

 

[lilesrt]

For making millions these coaches are thin skinned. None worse than Nick Saban.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I nominate McGill as the paterfamilias of the SEC investigation committee.

I'd be glad to take a wrecking ball to the Officials..
