Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[SSVol]

We're still on probation and talking about running off a coach who has been very successful given the mess he inherited. So what makes us attractive?

Nobody is running off a coach.

 

[Jackcrevol]

We need a commitment or a win, or something. Isnt basketball tonite?

 

[Weezer]

Nobody is running off a coach.

But it's being talked about.

 

[GVol1966]

HE IS SUPER TALENTED, and WE ARENT.

Super athletic yes, Talented ‍♂.
Seemed to have trouble covering WR’s and TE’s about as much as the others and definitely had trouble fielding punts

It will be the furry out there with a picket sign by his lonesome. j/k

There is a balogna smelling conehead vacuum that would envelope this program if, and it ain't happening. we are hitting the next rung

James Franklin's wife is named Fumi.

Fumi once, shame on you. Fumi, can't get fumed again.

As I have been saying, Heupel will not face a hot seat until at least probation is over. Which is still 2.5 years away.

 

[SSVol]

But it's being talked about.

It's a message board. People say things.

 

[screenthis]

You mean just like we had plenty of interest after Fulmer was forced to retire and every coaching hire since.

I blame Hamilton. What would have happened had a 'Danny White' been here back then?

I'm not the one making "hot seat" statements. I've been saying he's safe through probation.

He was an associate AD at Fresno State at the time, so....

 

[JCVol00]

Arion Carter and Telander both can transfer for all I care.

Nah, AC is our best all around LB, and Telander may not be the best lb we have, but dude bleeds orange and gives it his all, makes you really thankful for guys like him when you look at nico and Boo

 

[Weezer]

It's a message board. People say things.

Sometimes they say mean things.

 

[Heupel's Offseason Beard]

So he's saying he should not have been available but he was put on the field anyway?

Reporter asked a question to determine if Boo is lying in his statement about his season being over because he's been hurt. Coach said based on what the trainers told him each week, Boo hasn't been injured and that UT's participation report was correct.

You see how quickly they try to frame everything as being Heupel's fault?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Robot or amputee in a suit?

 

[JCVol00]

Telander is just slow, we could easily work with him this offseason to improve his speed and he will be a solid lb, AC likely goes to the nfl if he leaves this year

[dmwvol12]

He's about to be a pain in our buttocks again, isn't he?

That’s a significant hire for VT. Surprised they pulled it off.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

If I'm an Athletic Director and I have to lock up a talented coach long-term, so promise him a ridiculous buyout, I would write that contract up the way the PSU AD wrote Franklin's. VT is paying him 9/yr which completely erases the 8 million he was due until the end of his PSU contract. So they got out with basically paying him this year's salary to go coach somewhere else.

Now it remains to be seen if they will upgrade with their hire. I think it's safe to say VT did.

I’ve said ever since the VT job opened and Franklin was fired that that would be the best marriage/outcome for both parties. It’s a mid-tier P5 program where 8-9 wins is the expectation, that’s pretty much Franklin’s ceiling.

 

[BigSteve09]

Franklin going to be annoying with VA and guys from Carolinas

 

[dmwvol12]

The problems were much deeper than Hamilton. It was all the way to the top of the UT System.

I despise we are still on probation

Not a huge Franklin fan but kudos to him for actually getting a job and working for his salary. Unlike Butch Jones going to work as Sabans stooge so he could milk every last dime out of us. Shows his total lack of character. What a joke he is.

 

[Volunteer821]

that’s a generous read.. I’ll take it

Let my temper take hold too quickly sometimes

Me too, GFW. Me too.
