Recruiting Forum: Football Talk II

[steino]

You serious clark? It matters quite a bit for recruiting purposes.

Saban, Meyer and Miles would beg to differ.

 

[old vol]

skeeter-did BOT not resolve the "Cheek" issues?

 

[Tux]

Why? He may have already said too much. Do you not think a guy that played on the National Championship team knows what type of mental anguish is acceptable or isn't acceptable in college football?

It isn't important to know the exact details and it isn't any of our business, but the coaches obviously upset DY a lot. They definitely crossed the line considering DY is arguably the hardest worker and one of the most liked players on the team. It wouldn't be like this over something minor. Its also no coincidence that DY is returning to practice next week.

Having played college football myself, I know what coaches say and do. You have to be mentally tough. I can not think of one thing that any coach could say to me that would make me a basket case.....and believe me I heard plenty some pretty harsh things in my day. College coaches would make sailors blush.

Unless I knew what what was said, it is hard to feel that he was wronged.

You have your opinion and I have mine.

You just named three coaches that coach at programs that would pull in top recruiting classes no matter who the coach is based on instate talent.

 

[babyavi]

I mean if Gruden would want to be President-Emeritus-of all things Athletics, so be it.

 

[volstopfan14]

Glad it is official now and we can move on.

Mora, Strong, Shaw, and Taggart are all guys I would be okay with.

 

[Sudden Impact]

What control does Gruden want that we can't give? If the boosters want to make him the highest paid coach, so be it.

Saban will always be the highest paid coach in the SEC.

 

[Orange Studs]

Ok on a lighter note, how long do you think it will take before another coach is in place?

So Meyer, Saban or Miles would not pull in top talent here? Kiffin even did it here in one year and was on track to have a hell of a class in his 2nd year. If you can recruit, it doesn't matter where you are from.

 

[volstopfan14]

I figure a week or two. Hope it's soon.

 

[Aesius]

If Gruden wants control, then they should give him control. What could he possibly want control over that the AD wouldn't grant?

TIFWIW, but I've heard he wants to remove the "woo" from Rocky Top.

 

[UTMark]

Unacceptable. We cannot tolerate these outlandish demands!

Deal breaker IMO

 

[babyavi]

Give me a break Roger.

ahah wow.

 

[babyavi]

where is montrell? he had a lot to say about gruden.....

 

[Orange Studs]

Do you guys think it will be announced after bowl season? Seeing that the coach we will hire will be playing in a bowl I hope.

 

[SigNu_VolFan]

After reading what the majority of the team has had to say about Dooley today, I highly doubt Devrin Young was being treated unfairly. Sack up.

Okay.

Hart needs to use a little less hair color... just sayin'.

Too many compliance issues with todays NCAA to give total control, has to be a balanced approach.

 

[Orange Studs]

Gruden isn't coming anyway.

 

[SigNu_VolFan]

Supposedly, Rucker just said on the radio that UT administration has been instructed to get Gruden. Make him say no.

 

[zehr27]

Zehr - you think it's Gruden?

I hope. I have heard there has been some road blocks that might not be able to be over come.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

ANybody able to view the presser, i can't get a thing.
