Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[Brillovol]

If true, it leads more credence to the idea Danny wants to clean house but knows it’s too late this year to do a regular coaching search. If Frank is the interim, it means this entire coaching staff is gone next summer.

Making a bad situation worse. Recruits will all bail too. It's all set up on a platter for sustained success, it's obvious, and that would screw it all up.

 

[jave36]

I'm not as upset about Tony leaving as I am about the idea that DW wants to hire his "own guy"

I have lost all faith in our athletic department if they are really that tone deaf

Lol you guys will believe any rumor you hear....

I heard DW was sweet on Tony's fiance. If that's true, I've lost all faith in our AD.

Its embarrassing

It’s a layup decision to promote Elander and operate as business as usual. Doing anything else than that is certifiably insane. It’s not defensible.

I mean, either Frank will be the interim in a few minutes or he won’t. Sounds like he will be.

 

[letsgoUT29]

I know it was. But the insinuation was that anyone that thinks DW screwed this up automatically wants him fired.

That’s fair. I just think DW is probably the most important hire UT has made. The idea of the fanbase turning on him over a potential conflict with Tony Vitello is hard to stomach. Tony taking a once in a life-time opportunity is not reflective on DW. Tony has already turned down multiple college jobs included Texas A&M twice.

The AD not immediately hiring the specific guy I want before doing any kind of search at all means he is a literal Nazi. And probably a sociopath.

 

[Rishvol]

That's a small sample size. I'm talking globally. America is Top 20 globally in average intelligence (probably due to our schooling system and nutrition programs) out of nearly 200 countries.

So your observed average is top 10% globally.

If my students are top 10% globally then how have we all not died a horrible death yet

It’s the best the Athletic Department has ever been and we want to tear it down over one coach leaving.

 

[Volbucky]

Some people need to ask themselves who are the last two coaches DW hired? I think he did pretty darn good. Of course he’s a control freak, he’s the damn boss.

 

[Jackcrevol]

i'm glad he didn't go to tamu, arkansas, or another like lsu. truthfully. if guy had one foot out the door, and was going to move up no matter. then there was nothing we could do.

Good luck, beat Kensucky.

 

[SSVol]

Frank as interim means that Elander is either going to San Fran too or White isn't going to consider him.

White will hire a new staff at the end of this college baseball season.

White seems to be a bit of a control freak.

So by "control freak" you mean he's the Athletic Director and he's doing his job?

 

[rikberry31]

I think the kids on the current roster would have to redshirt if they were to transfer right now. Meaning they can transfer immediately but would not be eligible immediately. I could be wrong but I don’t think we will have an issue with guys jumping ship right now.

College athletics is unrestricted free agency, anyone who wants to leave can and play right away.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Round of applause for Danny White!

 

[knoxvol52]

College athletics is unrestricted free agency, anyone who wants to leave can and play right away.

Only Grad transfers would be eligible to play... Everyone else that leaves would have to RS...

 

[SSVol]

Y'all are funny. Danny has done nothing but hit homers everywhere he's been. Might be smart to wait and see what he does and how it works out before losing faith in the department.

 

[vols4lfe]

To play devil's advocate for DW here, Michael Earley was viewed similarly at A&M when Schloss left (different timing, obviously). Hasn't worked out great so far.

 

[TheRain]

I already didn't like the Giants. I wish them no success.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Yes he has!

I think he looked at strike 3 on Tony Vitello. Nobody bats 1.000.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Hard to hire elander when he's working for the Giants. . .

 

[GoBigOrange86]

I already didn't like the Giants. I wish them no success.

You’d better wish them success, because if Tony flames out he’s coming right back to the SEC, and not to Tennessee.

 

[tnvols72]

Hard to hire elander when he's working for the Giants. . .

he gone also?

 

[Garren04]

Man I'm afraid its not elander

They love a good pessimistic panic

 

[InVOLuntary]

Evidently Tony almost left for TAMU last year.
