Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[RandomUTfan]

I seriously think whomever negotiated the leagues TV rights deal should be held accountable.

 

[InVOLuntary]

4. Isn’t true at all.

 

[InVOLuntary]

1) when did he actually say TV hadn’t spoken with DW at all during these negotiations? I’ve heard reports that Low never said that. You got a link to that specific part?
2) I don’t know enough to comment on them. I’ll give it to you.
3) No one reported he “almost” took the job. Just that he “flirted with”/talked to them.
4) This is false and has been reported by numerous outlets. It’s a law. You can’t break the law…
5) Sure, but not to get cliche however it’s totally cliche: can you put a price tag on a dream job?
6) Show me a coach who doesn’t leave their current job for another all because of a recruiting class. This one is asinine, if you ask me.

I’m not choosing to believe there’s not some truth to the animosity/bad relationship between DW and Tony. But I also don’t think there’s some sinister story just below the surface. And I also don’t believe DW is the villain in this at all. He’s done enough for this university that doesn’t warrant being stabbed in the back by a small yet vocal group of our fanbase. It’s just silliness.

You are welcome to believe whatever you want.

Any relation to Phil Williams?

Channel 5 Phil Williams?

 

[Volunteer821]

That would be awesome and I hope he's disgruntled enough to do it.

I think Ken Williamson did the SEC/ Sankey's bidding and will now slink off a rich man.

Yeah, I'd say he was paid handsomely to be the scapegoat. If I were Williamson I know what I would do.....

I saw Peay manhandle them…..should have seen it coming. Just didn’t think it was going to be this bad.

Shows what happens when a loyal coach like Rick Stockstill gets fired because the university sees themselves as bigger than they really are. Stock recruited middle Tennessee well and was regularly winning 6 games…..never put this crap on the field.

He had them in the top25 1 year, I think

Guarantee their fans don’t care. Football over everything. For most here too.

I’m not as hard pressed, because I’ve seen our glory days and a National Championship but can understand the younger generation who didn’t experience 1998. I just want basketball to get one then I can die a happy VOL fan.

Have a die hard OSU fan that works for me. He’s glad their football is great but he also wishes basketball and baseball were competitive. They’re not even competitive. He has 4 months of fun in sports. We have 12

Imagine not wanting a reason to cheer during March Madness or Omaha. Couldn’t be me!

 

[jacobyvoln27]

Let’s take all the money we were gonna put in to baseball and build the greatest football program of all time and I as long Rick Barnes wants to be hear give him NIL! After that let’s take all that money too. I still want Cute Kim to be successful. So as you can see that leaves Tennessee Football and Lady Vols Basketball back on top like it this world was meant to be !!!!

 

[Aesius]

MTSU sux….. I swear if they just put the best high school players in Rutherford County in MTSU uniforms they would be .500

You can’t hire a guy who has won zero games during a season. His floor is literally “winless” and he’s gonna come close to it this season.

Haven't really watched them play. So are a lot of those guys important?

 

[85SugarVol]

How is that different from what I said? I already rebutted this in my reply!

You didn’t rebut anything. You only attempted to re-frame my statement into that commits which are never going to show up was “bad”, which was never my argument.

Of course the majority of them will come here. Again, not my argument.

This is where you usually go with some variation of - “if you’re not going to agree to my position, I’m just not gonna debate this”.

Most OSU fans I've met are either bandwagon and don't really care, or they like their professional sports more.

That and they're really entitled and less passionate than us.

I think Coach Kim would win with YWCA girls

 

[Jackcrevol]

Already miss Tony, and right now I don't think I want to know the how and why. I love both DW and Tony and don't won't to have to blame either of them, just sucks so bad.

Idk, but they played a close game last week. . .

 

[Brillovol]

I think from a perception standpoint doing a national search and hiring Elander is way better than just making him without a search. Truely says I looked he’s the absolute best option.

I hope that’s what’s happening

Exactly.

That way you can objectively say you hired the best instead of making an emotional or rash decision. Also adds credibility to Elander that he won the job based on merit and not by default.

College athletes can bet on pro sports starting November 1.

 

[85SugarVol]

I don't have any beef with Schilling but why would we hire someone with zero coaching experience? I feel the same about Burke. Makes no sense.

Lol, we should not be hiring Curt Schilling. But the reaction to it, from some, has nothing to do with actual Baseball.

Wtf. I see Louisville signed a G League player. I also see that players that have played professionally overseas for years have eligibility now. Somehow there’s still no contracts for college players and they can just leave programs whenever they want.
