Recruiting Forum: Football Talk II

[HankHill]

Possible I guess.

Just think it is risky to go out there and play them. If we lose by 30+ our fanbase is so fragile some will shatter and think here we go again ... And just think it creates unnecessary problems when we have a tough schedule already.

And if strong goes 8-4/9-3 in his
First yr the train will be rolling.

Only the fans who are totally :crazy: really think we should win @ Oregon.

I do think however we would have a good chance of making a game of it if Bray returns

 

[UTMark]

I thought we were all on the same team.

It is a two way street, Ron. Let's just be happy that it looks like we got a solid coach.

 

[Tenn Ted]

This is about the only place I come on this board anymore. Many on this message board are idiots!!! I am thrilled to death with this hire, if and when it gets done!!! I think Strong is the best candidate and will bring a solid defense to Tennessee and bring winning back to our program again!!!

 

[LynxVol]

They really aren't.

I was laughing yesterday when they were saying they believed Butch Jones might be as high as 3rd on our list. lol:

I don't even think Hubbs and the VQ crew ever mentioned his name.

Lol. True.

I did not want to believe that as soon as I read it.

 

[volssam]

And what happens if you go out there and win by 2?

Then we all shave our heads and spend five hours a day in a tanning bead trying to look like strong

 

[ATC_VOL]

Some of you may not agree but I think one of the first things after NSD that cholly should do is try to move or REmove the Oregon game from next year's schedule.

We'll probably get killed, but that would reflect pretty badly on a new coach if one of his first orders of business is ducking (no pun intended) a tough game.

 

[csprig9]

Oh, I know. No one should expect much next year. There's still a whole lot of Dooley on the team. A stain that bad take a couple years to wear off.

Strong is about to KABOOM that S***!

The O-line returning is more important than Bray in a game versus Oregon.

With our DL we might could cause them problems. But what about speed in the secondary ?

He might be able to get J. Hunt to stay, too.

 

[LotteryPick]

UT's fanbase during Dooley's tenure: "Stupid hire. We should've hired a winner."

*News of Strong being the top candidate, a man who has taken UL to a BCS bowl*

Those same people: "Awful hire. He only won in the Big East, and couldn't recruit"

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Man I think you accidentally injected yourself with something.

HA!! That's a great one! No, I'm not that type of vet.

 

[LynxVol]

I can see the "he only won in the Big East" argument. I can accept that about some people being cautious or tentative to embrace the hire. But, those who say he couldn't recruit obviously don't know anything about him. That's just ignorance talking.

 

[Ron Swanson]

I hear ya. I'll be very happy with Strong.

Boom. Ball control O and a strong DL. SEC ball baby. But as I said speed in our secondary against their position players are a big concern

 

[skeeter33418]

Could have official announcement as early as tomorrow. UL ad is trying to do what he can to keep CCS. From what i have been told, he really wants out of Louisville and they would have to offer something just plain stupid for him to stay. Matching Tennessee will not even make him flinch.

 

[ob79]

Don't understand the Tee love. Great recruiter, but is he the best we can do at WR or QB when it comes to developing players?

what so hard to understand about loving a quarterback who brought a national championship to the hill?

 

[HankHill]

With our DL we might could cause them problems. But what about speed in the secondary ?

I never said anything about stopping them lol

I do think we could control the clock and hopefully have the ball last.

Speed will better in the secondary by default. I bet the secondary plays much much better next season too.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I think we hear something tonight late. Let these other school hire their pretender coaches then Hart drops the boom and steals the headlines during prime time.

You make a comment to me that I'm delusional, yet you think Strong will be a name that drops the boom and steals the headlines? I'm all for Strong if it's not Gruden, but his name doesn't steal the headlines.

 

[HankHill]

I hope so but i just dont see it.

When RBs and WRs got to the 2nd level this year they were GONE... we never ran anyone down

Any word on what we've offered?

Absolutely agree with Neal lane and green , going to be a great game

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I'm not. Strong will be a great hire if it's not Gruden. Recruiting will be a lot of fun!

Agree 100%!! With that said, bring Gruden home!

I would bet money Gray, Orta, and Bonner will play a lot next season. They're much faster than Gordon, Toney, or Waggner. Gray and Orta are very very fast DBs.
