Recruiting Forum: Football Talk II

[UTBasketball2]

i read somewhere yesterday Jones easy going to be named the HC at Purdue .

it must have been another wild rumor.

NCAAF Butch Jones interviews at Purdue - ESPN

 

[ORANGE & WHITE]

would be a solid hire..getting an ex- SEC HC for DC would be a steal for Jimbo. Think of all the Aub commits that could follow him. Chiz has some great Fla recruiting ties. If I'm Chiz I would chill for a season or two..nice stack of bands to sit on his azz.

Absolutely. If true huge win for Fisher and FSU.

Side note, are you hearing anything new out of Louisville about UT and Strong?

 

[HialeahGator]

Has anyone confirmed ANY interviews? Higdon is saying Strong was hosting official visitors in Louisville when Hart supposedly interviewed him.

is this Jason Higdon.. ex wirter for GC and ITG? IF so it may have some weight bc his "source" was Strong while at UF. Think they are pretty tight.

 

[RockyTop85]

Convinced the media doesn't know anymore than they did last week.

"Jon Gruden not interested in Tennessee."
"Jon Gruden mulling an offer from Tennessee."

"Butch Davis is not being considered at Tennessee."
"Don't be surprised if Butch Davis gets the UT job."

This is ridiculous.

The only media I'm listening to is Hubbs.

Davis is 61. I am hoping it is Strong. I do not want to take a chacne with the NCAA and Butch Davis.

nothing new.

just find it odd that he killed the Aubbie rumors asap but hasn't said anything about UT job.

 

[ORANGE & WHITE]

Butch jones is a target for Colorado and Purdue. Butch Davis is 61.

I believe that's him.

 

[VolOnthePlains]

If they really reached out to Bielema that is encouraging to me. It'll probably never happen but that is the level of coach we should be aiming for.

 

[ORANGE & WHITE]

Hubbs has said without a doubt Strong was interviewed. Also said Strong has told people close to him that he felt good about the interview. I'll roll with Brent. His accuracy is something he hangs his hat on.

Damn Butch is old...not sure he wants the stress of a place like UT. USF would be like early retirement. Coach like 5 years then move up the to the Villages or Miami Lakes :lol:

They need to be thorough and check all possibilities IMO. We panicked last time. Can't screw this one up.

Exactly. Dude can't want to coach much longer IMO.

If you believe the coaches and writers, no, Hart has done 0 interviews. There is no way they'd say they've been interviewed though, recruiting would go in the toilet.

 

[ORANGE & WHITE]

I'd still take Butch Davis over freaking Jones.

 

[Ron Swanson]

What's surprising to me is that Charlie Strong is 52. He looks a lot younger than that.

 

[Vol Main]

A few people are lobbying for him. I don't know why. Pat Dye is his biggest supporter. But he's a drunk.

As he should be.

 

[jave36]

I'd still take Butch Davis over freaking Jones.

Same, he's right behind Strong on the list of coaches we are supposedly targeting, IMO.

 

[ORANGE & WHITE]

Dude looks 35. It shocked me too.

Side note, the villages are freaking nice. Who wouldn't want to retire there lol.

 

[jave36]

Paul Petrino to Idaho.

 

[tim]

VQ posters saying that 247 is saying Butch Jones is moving up the board. If true someone please shoot me in the face. Can someone with a subscription confirm this sh!t?

Shotgun or pistol?

 

[DobermanVol]

I guess Sal Sunseri has already gotten out of Knoxville. Haven't heard a peep about him recruiting since the Kentucky game, while all the other assistants are on the road.

Seen Sal on campus either thursday or friday. Cant remember. He's at least still in knoxville.

 

[volstopfan14]

Paul Petrino to Idaho.

What, other than being Bobby's brother, has he done to deserve a head coaching job?
