Chop supposedly leaving with Garner

That sux bad

 

[ETNVolunteer1]

Some talk that if Baker takes the Tulane job, Kiffin and LSU will target Durkin for the DC position at LSU. I had forgotten that Durkin was Lane’s DC at Ole Miss before Golding.

Garners contract however expires 1/31/2026

He never signed his extension

 

[DD4ME]

I bet CJH and DW are on this like flies on stank. Contingencies are in place. No way tiis is an overnight decision.

You'd like to hope

 

[SugarCC]

Players I hope we don't lose to the portal; but, can see us losing to the portal...

DaSaahn Brame
Travis Smith
Jaedon Harmon

A couple of others, too...like Dye and Gass.

I don't think we will; but, it won't surprise me at all with any of these, especially Brame.

 

[DD4ME]

Who is Coach Chop

The guy who does all the recruiting for Rodney and Banks.

 

[Jack Burton]

Chop supposedly leaving with Garner

That would be bad.

 

[DD4ME]

 

[DD4ME]

If a lot of people leave to work for Golesh then that would concern me about what staff knows about the 2.

I think Gass is likely safe, he was working on adding size to move to LEO and with Josephs leaving there should be plenty of PT there next year.

Not sure on Harmon...Bolton is gone (graduated) and I'm curious if Carter returns, he probably didn't really help draft stock this year being banged up and the D being so bad.

GARNER HAS FAMILY STUFF

 

[engineerVOL]

Looks like Wesley Hayes amd Kelly Quinlan

And Taint Johnson apparently.

GARNER HAS FAMILY STUFF

I meant beyond Rodney and maybe Chop. Chop would be continuing to use Rodney as a Mentor i imagine.

 

[InVOLuntary]

And Taint Johnson apparently.

Tate Johnson 55 to be exact

 

[engineerVOL]

Thank the Lord it’s not the MCB that’s a sad bowl. And I doubt we see Brazzell in this game so graphic gives me the sads.

He was a great portal addition.

 

[Blake25p]

lol @ Penn St

[GVol1966]

I think you're missing one "big" piece of information from UT recruiting. "CULTURE"
Our staff has said on many occasions that if a player doesn't fit the culture profile, he will not be signed by UT. Good or bad, that's just part of the profile that our staff looks at when offering players.

Beginning to wonder what that culture is:
Nice guys that play a little softer than UGA , and Oklahoma and oh yeah Vandy.

 

[engineerVOL]

Hahaha. Somebody put Eli’s face on the .50 cent gif

 

[engineerVOL]

Penn State started this madness and now they’re still single. Hahaha.

Program deserves an eternity wandering the desert.

 

[GVol1966]

GARNER HAS FAMILY STUFF

Yeah we all no that!!
He said “a lot of people “.
Do they all have “Family Stuff”.
He also said “if”.
