I can't even go take a pi$$ without getting 5 pages behind on here. Ha

Have to train your body. Low fluid, high sodium intake.

Parents may not like it but I'm sure the kids will think it's pretty coo1.

Does Tressel's NCAA troubles follow him where ever he might go? I'm not to clear about that, all I know is the guy's overall record was something like 229–79–2 (according to Wikipedia which might be true since it's on the Internet) . That is some coaching.

Yea the guy can flat out coach & recruit would be a great hire

Al Golden would be successful at UT. He might not be Nick Saban, but he would do good things at UT.

7.2 mil + 5.1 = 12.3 mil per year x 8 yrs = 98.4 mil

This is ridiculous for a college staff if true.....

Not for what he will generate and excitement he will bring. It was eventually going to get to this point and why not be the first ones to do it.

 

[AlumniVol]

is there a VN app for iphone, or is everyone just using the browser?

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

I'm no risking losing sources because you guys don't believe me. I guess I just won't post anything regarding this anymore.

 

[InVOLuntary]

The NFL has bigger revenue generators because of the apparel and their tv contract. Plus, they aren't having to fund non revenue generating sports. Plus, they have exclusivity and there aren't fifteen thousand companies making NFL shirts like with college. Plus, they will always have 8 revenue producing games. Plus, that DirecTV deal was huge for the NFL.

Yea but the player's salaries are ridiculous. What is the cap these days?

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

Low is a puffy curmudgeon. Just sayin'.

Low looks out of shape. Wasn't that him in the picture sitting on the stool a few pages back in front of his keyboard?:birgits_giggle:

 

[Giveem6]

So how do you donate $ to UT I just won the lottery!!!!! Lol actually I did get 3 numbers right and power ball on one ticket. Does that mean something

 

[Orangeslice13]

I do believe slice. I have stated that numerous times. Friday proves my belief correct or not.

You're no fun at all. I've tried to mess with you all night and you keep taking the high road. That's really disappointing.


For what it's worth I just don't see how this will get done by Friday. All evidence seems to point to much later if at all. I guess we will see soon enough.

 

[Ut_Airade_Attack]

There isn't anything about Golden that excites me..NOTHING...It would be a very underwhelming hire,but good thing is we don't need to worry about him.

I sure hope you're right smokey .. All the alcohol in the world couldn't numb my pain if we were to hire Golden.

1. The parents are the ones who have to sign for kids under the age of 18 to play football at schools. That's why you have to convince the parents that you will take care of their kids. Just part of it, and it's too soon to put him out there on the recruiting trail at a school like ours.

2. Tressel has a 5 year show cause, and we just got our probation extended by the NCAA. We have ZERO room for error now, and hiring Tressel would be like sleeping with the NCAA's wife, and not expecting them to be pissed when they find out it's us.

Good to know. Dude can still coach, someone will get him eventually and they will do well. I just don't think Fisher or Strong are what UT needs right now. Patterson or Petterson would be homeruns but I doubt we could get either of them.

 

[volmaniac5674]

Dang. I don't want to go to sleep. I'm afraid I'll miss something.

 

[AJeray4TN]

Al Golden would be successful at UT. He might not be Nick Saban, but he would do good things at UT.

Ron Zook could recruit too.

 

[JacketVol]

Maybe he was wishing him luck in getting laid that night??

He might be. Because if he doesn't come to UT, he may not get to do that thing with Cindy from what I hear. Get it done with UT or else you ain't getting none son.

 

[VOLout8]

Al Golden would be successful at UT. He might not be Nick Saban, but he would do good things at UT.

I will make a list of those things:
1. Dress nice

 

[VFLBerg]

Does anyone know if a coach has won a Super Bowl and a college national championship? Gruden certainly could be the first to win a Super Bowl and BCS championship

Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer IIRC.

 

[golfballs]

Maverick won't post proof because it contains his personal info. TIFWIW

 

[gardners_51609]

So I thought Gruden would stop getting paid by the Bucs at the end of October- Mid November, but apparently his payments will run out mid December...This is important because Tampa will not pay him those checks if Tennessee announces him as coach, and if he doesn't get the last two checks apparently Gruden would want UT to pay them...TIFWIW

 

[B-Stizzy]

is there a VN app for iphone, or is everyone just using the browser?

just google mobile volnation on your phone. It'll link you to the mobile version. It's a lot easier.

 

[g8terh8ter_eric]

Al Golden would be successful at UT. He might not be Nick Saban, but he would do good things at UT.

Disagree. They have 10 commitments at Miami right now. That's disgraceful, even for a team with the NCAA setting up shop. Don't think they will do anything next year either. Al is a career 8 win a year kind of coach.

I use tapatalk with a custom orange theme. Pretty good setup.

 

[BruinVol]

Al Golden would be successful at UT. He might not be Nick Saban, but he would do good things at UT.

He certainly won't win the press Conference but I really think he is a great fit. He has serious experience at taking over programs at rock bottom. That's us right now

 

[AJeray4TN]

1. Dress nice

You mean look like a sweaty, suited up buffoon?
