New Name: PJ Fleck Being Vetted

[Boston Vol]

Sonny Dykes is the name you leak so when you hire PJ Fleck or Tony Elliott, people’s first reaction is well at least it isn’t Sonny Dykes.

I do wish that about Urban

 

[NighthawkVol]

There are a lot of good coaches in the country. Evidently Volnation doesn’t want any of em.

Took an 1-11 Western Michigan team to 13-1 in 3 season. Took Minnesota to the Top 10 in his 3rd year there.

Exactly. But because he uses some catch phrases (pssst...so do most coaches), he’s Butch 2.0. Our fans kill me sometimes.

What you gonna do if it is?

Be sad

 

[DarkAvenger]

Would you take coach O over Kiffin?

Yes, because I get 3 games... the football games, and trying to decipher half the **** he’s saying, and pounding 3 beers when he says geux Vawlz!

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Not sold on Fleck at all. GBO!

 

[SpookyAction]

Would you take coach O over Kiffin?

Damn.
That table turned quick.
Gotta watch you.

Burn a couple mattresses.

Fleck is a strange dude, but I think he could do a decent job here. Elliott is a high risk, high reward hire. As for Dykes...no. Just no.

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

I don't think it will be any of those 3, but that is just my guess. I think this is total misdirection. GBO!

I agree I believe will be dang good hire but it will be from left field. ..while every media person spews noone wants UT job!!!

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

Y’all are insane if you don’t want Fleck, that’s one we should be ecstatic about.

Unless their source is named Danny White they have no source.

This. (With the exception of Stoerner Fumbles)

Why does the name Sonny Dykes keep coming up? It’s starting to worry me a little bit.

Sonny is actually a pretty good coach. Is he SEC good? I doubt it. I actually have a lot of respect for him if he was simply a coordinator. I would hire him all day for my coordinator. Am I making myself clear here? He is an A+ career coordinator. But sometimes coordinators just work out to be average head coaches.

 

[Cormock Mac]

Only thing that’s good about him that might make him work is the fact he can rebuild and develop what recruits he can get, hate the lingo tho, that’s Lyle Jones jr

Great lingo! Something has worked for him. I guess you think coaches should just keep their mouth shut and make no attempt to motivate. Get a coach here and let him say what he wants. If it doesn't work, move on. Meanwhile lay off the criticism. You and other who think this way are part of the problem!

 

[Cormock Mac]

Exactly. But because he uses some catch phrases (pssst...so do most coaches), he’s Butch 2.0. Our fans kill me sometimes.

You're too nice to them. It's called (being nice here) lack of knowing better. What ever Fleck has said or done, it's worked for him. Would be a tremendous get for Tennessee if the rednecks don't run him off.

Volnation hates his catch phrases, volnation knows all!

 

[VFLCodyGBO]

Fleck is a really good candidate, people won’t give a damn about catch phrases if he’s winning 9-11 a year

I read his buyout has been reduced and is about $5million. That’s a little more than his salary. Hard to believe he and Pruitt were both making about the same. A far raise and maybe we get him.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

We can do alot better than Fleck, that's the bottom line. Does he have any connections to high school coaches and programs in the south??? Has he ever recruited the south. I am not saying he isn't a good coach, but I just don't see him being able to build a consistent winner here. I could be wrong, but I just don't see it. GBO!

 

[VolForLife83]

I dunno. 2019 looks good, but he had a Pruitt year this year

 

[Boone&Crockett]

Would you take coach O over Kiffin?

Probably not, I think alot of Orgeron's success is the fact he fits LSU so well, not sure he has the same success anywhere else.

 

[bleedorange9995]

I dunno. 2019 looks good, but he had a Pruitt year this year

Thing is nobody knows who opted out from their team

 

[Cormock Mac]

Burn a couple mattresses.

Seems to be about you speed. What do you know about Fleck? He be a great get for Tennessee if people like you don't run him off, which you're wont to do.

Fleck is a really good candidate, people won’t give a damn about catch phrases if he’s winning 9-11 a year

If he wins let him say what he damn well pleases.
