Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

I think Franklin taking that Penn State job when he did was a bold move. It's literally paid off for him though.

But I don't think he wants to be in the SEC again, and Penn State was one of the most "protected" Big 10 jobs around (they always have a favorable schedule and only get tested once or twice normally).

No clue where he ends up, but based on the sort of expectations he seems to prefer I wouldn't be shocked at all if OK State is a spot he'd land.

They can pay as well as anyone else, pretty solid location for recruiting considering all the talent around the state, in a conference where you can thrive and likely only face 2 or 3 really tough teams every year and the bar for success isn't really that high there. It took Gundy going 3-9 and starting 1-2 before they were done with him. Franklin likely wins 8+ every year there.

UCLA.....

In my gut, Golesh, kiffin, Franklin, in that order, are the 3 names I don't want to see at Florida.

IMO, I don’t think UF would go after a coach who is 20-13 @ USF. I like Golesh and all but I think Florida would try to go after someone with more HC experience.

 

[VolGee4]

Anyone have a clip of that?

The official puts his arm out to signal that it was not a backward pass, but if anything, Brazzell was a half step beyond the LOS. Not sure Staley was engaged yet with his blocker. It was just ticky tack and something we seem to get called on a few times per season.

I thought the OPI call was ridiculous. That play happens a hundred times right on the line and not called.

Just now watching. When did that happen? Just took my BP medicine, so I'm peppered.

 

[Sandman Vol]

My Hokie buddies don’t want Beamer at all. They oddly enough want Franklin.

Then getting Franklin would be a grand slam for their program, and a win for all sec teams not having to deal with him annually. He’s a good coach. Never won the big game, but a real good coach.

That’s what moved us back to the 6 yard line before the safety.

If people don’t want banks here as a DC then why would anyone want him as a head coach

There’s a sucker born everyday

 

[Devo182]

Recruiting at UF is not easy with them being a dump and Miami being a top team with FSU also making a new hire. . . not to mention USF, UCF, etc. . .

Even Billy has them 12th in talent the last 2 years. Worst coach in decades and they still outrecruit us. Not bc of him. That state just has an overabundance of talent spewing from it.

 

[VolInDayton]

Not a good year for Norvells

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Maybe with this many coaching changes happening someone will want Banks at a lower school after the big schools have their replacements.

Hope so

Plus Staley didn't actively seek him out. The defender ran into Staley and he simply stood his ground and engaged him. Is he required to move out of the defenders way?

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Still cant get over Ty Simpson standing 6 yards deep in his own endzone taking a snap and Tim Banks legitimately playing his corners 10 yards off w deep safeties. Dude is garbage.

99 yard TD drive btw in a crucial time.

Don't want any of them. Please hire another Billy type dumb dumb.

Ya I pretty much never see that called either, wanted to see a replay to slow it down but can't find it.

Yup. Talent is the only reason the defense was good last year. Just the cold hard truth.

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Ain’t no thang. Go Vols

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Not a good year for Norvells

Family Reunion in Cancun?

 

[Sandman Vol]

One more thing. Why wasn't Bama penalized for jumping on JA when he was down after the safety throw?

Same reason they didn’t call any of the other penalties on bama that they should have

 

[RandomUTfan]

I'm confused. Banks is good enough at his job to deserve a head coaching opportunity? Then why do you want him gone?

 

[KnoxVillain]

Coaches get fired faster than quality replacements with experience are made. Someone would take a chance on a SEC DC if people like Trent Dilfer can get a look.

 

[RandomUTfan]

Are we sure someone didn't accidentally fire the wrong Norvell?

 

[Devo182]

I didnt notice him on the field much after that, but maybe he was. That was a brain-dead play. Always recover something like that, even if it's probably incomplete.

Bingo. There's another 14 pt swing.

What a stupid **** game. Outgain them, inside Tuscaloosa, and yet they're the ones lighting up with 3 mins to go. Just ridiculous. Never should have gone that way. We played them too close play for play. Smh

Can't wait to return the favor next year.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

Kirby won’t lose 2 in a row at home with $an key and his crew running snow.

Look at the no comments on last weeks officiating for all you need to know.

@mr.checkerboards your welcome

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Agreed, but that's no backdoor. That would be a legitimately massive stretch of huge wins @ UK, top-15 OU, @UF, top-15 Vandy.

Not an easy game there. The only scenario I don't see happening at this point is us getting in with 3 losses. Someone will, but our SOS won't do us that favor.

They really need to factor time as well. It’s been so nice of them to make us play at night every freaking away game…
