Great Hire (once signed)

[Voldirector11]

I like this hire. He has connections with Florida, Georgia, and Alabama areas in recruiting. He has signed alot of NFL caliber players and top college prospects. In 2016, defense was #1 in almost every category. Bring in a offense mind to go along with defensive knowledge and we will be rolling by year 2 or 3 at latest.

 

[ButchPlz]

Lol no.

 

[CA_Vol]

I'm excited. I've talked with a lot of UGA friends and they all spoke very highly of CP. He is a tireless recruiter, quality defensive coach & a leader of men.

LETS GO VOLS!!!!!

 

[JADB]

Hugh Freeze as OC...

 

[FiremedicVOL127]

Great hire, with the way this search has gone I was expecting a whole worse. I’m mean worse than Dooley worse, but I like it. Just hope they hit no snaggles and get the signature. Still not sighing with relief just yet.

I think the term “pleasantly surprised” needs to be evaluated.

Not saying we got a terrible hire, but this hire likely divided the fans (opinion-wise) more than surprised them.

 

[CoachClick]

Pretty easy to have the number 1 defense when you have 5 stars as backups.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Hugh Freeze as OC...

I’ll allow it.

 

[Rebel VOL]

Great a bama terd to run our program into the ebis

 

[andywilson001]

Decent hire. Not great. Definitely not a home run... but, it is what it is.

Better than Schiano

 

[volsarelife1]

Lol no.

Wasn't you one of them who actually thought Gruden had a chance

 

[Voldirector11]

If people would do research on him as a recruiter and how his defenses have ranked as a coordinator, they would change their tune. They say no because they are ignorant to his potential and career already.

 

[VFLBerg]

Next few years of vols football will suck

Not nearly as much as the last few

 

[Voldirector11]

Yes, he had 5 stars, but he recruited and signed most of them. (Himself) oh and Derrick Henry and T.J. Yeldon as running backs.

Do you want that here?

 

[spudvol]

Only hangup appears to be that he would rather spend the next month coaching for Alabama than recruiting for Tennessee. Must not want to burn any Alabama bridges in case Saban retires soon.

 

[CoachClick]

Do you want that here?

We aren't bama.

 

[FBtime]

Lol no.

Good rebuttal. Quality points.

 

[volsfan125]

Hugh Freeze as OC...

If we going there, then it should be Kendall Briles.

14th ranked offense with 3-9 talent
600+ yds offense in the C-USA championship game.
Would not turn us down and a FU to Kiffin.

Smart coached for Alabama and recruited for Georgia after he was hired.

 

[MyAll]

We aren't bama.

Why is that? Tuscaloosa is a dream town right?

 

[Eastnvolfan]

Praise the allspark that this horrendously long search is finally over. Great hire by all accounts.

You think we will get that here? Over bama and Georgia? :lolabove:

You like what hire? Nobody has been hired yet. Rolling by year two or three? No, dude. He has one year to get it rolling. Period. Sick of wasting 3 years here and 5 years there. ONE YEAR.
