Recruiting Forum: Football Talk II

[Blake25p]

I think we'll know something tonight, just hope it's good news.

 

[BruinVol]

I hate to say it but jimmy has been pretty good with breaking things in this search. Is he right about strong staying??

 

[ORANGE & WHITE]

Louisville has said they wanted an answer tonight. Read that out in the twitter universe.

 

[VOLout8]

Hart should stay the night up there. Be up in the morning to butter his toast, tie his shoes, ect. No need to stay in Knox if Strong isn't coming.

 

[ORANGE & WHITE]

No press conference at 8 AM. Only a players meeting at 7:30 AM scheduled at this time....

He deleted the tweet and now he's saying we've counter offered.

Thought I read he just corrected himself and UT made a big counter offer and Strong is thinking about it.

Who knows.

I didn't ever think this was ever going to be this hard of a decision. It's a little silly, to be honest.

If UL has a presser at 8am it is over for us. They won't be calling one to announce their coach is leaving. Hopefully it stays that way.

Butch Jones is now the coach at Colorado. #beenwaitingtoexhale. RIP Whitney.

I see the update. No big deal then

Was hoping when the plane got back that Jurich would have gotten off.

Hyams behind as usual, at least this time he is only behind by hours instead of days

Strong told Cards in team meeting Wed he'd make decision "that is best for program." Tennessee offered $3.5M/yr, UL redoing contract

.

 

[KnoxVillain]

We couldn't have a smooth, simple coaching search and hire that'd be too easy. Why the hell is everything UT does dramatic and overblown?

 

[volstopfan14]

I don't like the sound of Strong meeting with the Louisville media at 8. Why would he do that if he's leaving?

It sounds like that may not happen though.

I really hope he accepts our offer. We need to hire him and get this over with.

To me, that says Strong stays at UL. Jones was waiting to try and get that job if Strong went to UT. JMO

 

[ORANGE & WHITE]

He's not meeting with the media. No press conference is scheduled at this time. Only a team meeting at 730.

It doesn't say that to me at all. Jones has been trying to get TN to notice him for weeks and we haven't paid him any attention.

Kiffin met with the Knoxville media when he left. The rest of the night was a blur, then I had to sleep on an air mattress for a while.

That is good for Tennessee because (correct me if I'm wrong) you don't have a press conference when you leave a team you have it at the team you are going to.

 

[Vol Karma]

Forgot about Kiffin's presser. How could I?

 

[daj2576]

Fulmer isn't coming back, nor should he. There is a reason that no one else has given him a call about being a head coach.

Yeah, that plush multi million dollar buy out to sit at home.

There could be resolution tonight, however. Maybe soon.
