Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Better than The Postman? Ay Caramba!

Ok. 1A and 1B.

15-20 should never be considered acceptable. not at tennessee.

do alabama, georgia, florida, am, texas, ok , auburn consider that acceptable?

we dont accept mediocrity in any other sport. how does that hold then? talent wins titles. with our resources no coach should ever be allowed to skate by with 15-20 classes. That's a joke/

In who's eyes? The fans ?

I hear you shop at Nick Saban's car dealership.

I can't afford anything at Lil Nicky's High Priced Car Emporium. I have 3 teenage daughters. I am thinking of having to scale back my VN subscription if that tells you where I am at.



However, my middle daughter is looking at majoring in psychology (clinical) and UTK offers through PHd in that field so she is highly considering UTK. Praying that we find the best fit for her and that it involves Knoxville.

yessir. do they offer clinicals afterward or wild she have to move? always thought the 'your degrees need to be from different universities' was a stupidest ****ing logic ever.

I do what I want

We are still trying to figure it all out. Going on visits and what not. Really excited for her and what her future holds.

you have to be a stalwart human to want to listen to other people's ******** over and over. for that reason, i'm out.

truly, I respect practitioners immensely. have to have IQ AND be an empath.

Her to a tee. I do worry about her ability to be able to walk away at the end of the day and leave the problems at her office. Prayer and a really good mentor will be essential.

agreed. she should look to go to VA. Have several friends in medical field, some in psych who can speak to its excellence. Medical mal insurance, benefits, ability to have own practice... it's very very lucrative. even in administration.

Eh, I think there's merit to diversifying your education at that level. The culture and philosophies of department leadership pervade each department, and it's better to round out your higher, HIGHER education with diversified culture and philosophies. You can get narrow-minded about your field if you only ever see one way of doing things. It's kind of incestuous having only one parent.

agreed in academia. but in terms of professional degrees its rubbish. clinicals or internships, associates or fellows are where critical skills are learned.

this does not take into account people who are just naturally dumbasses like my wife's cousin currently working in his 5th masters. pick a lane.

Canes is consistent
Popeyes really depends on the location. Find a good place and absolutely better.

That’s a good rationale.

Canes is a consistent chain. As is Chick Fila, Culver’s, and In N Out.

Popeyes is inconsistent as is most fast food chains.

The word acceptable is completely meaningless in this context. You wanna fire Heupel because On3 says he didn't recruit good enough? The only job performance metric that matters is the results on the field. I personally think it's pointless to put the cart before the horse and start chalking up wins and losses based on talent composite. Especially in the NIL/portal era where rosters completely turn over every single year anyway.

I also don't agree at all with the last part. What evidence do you have that, after doling out significant money to basketball and baseball, the NIL money for football is much higher than 15-20?

This has us at #14. And that is donor contributions for all sports, not just football. So the everything school status most likely lands us firmly in that 15-20 range.

Last time I checked there are no awards, banners, plaques, trophies, or bonuses issued for recruiting rankings.

The only thing that matters is on-the-field performance. If Heupel can do that with 25th ranked classes, nobody cares how he got there. On the flip side, I assure you there is hell to pay if you spend stupid money for top classes and then don't deliver.

The article itself isn't bad, it's just a mailbag where Sparks answers reader questions, but the one they focused on for the tweet/headline is extreme clickbait.

Adam Sparks wipes back to front!

Agreed, and its a legit thing. At the PhD level within academia - Its better to have have at least 2 different programs/schools. Diversified experiences, philosophies, etc. I have 3, which can sometimes be seen as a knock because some might say "What, did your previous 2 stops not value you enough to retain you for the next level?" And of course they do that because academia is extremely toxic and broody.

How come no one is ever gruntled?

I'm currently OVER-GRUNTLED by these sausage links I'm chomping on this morning.

It sounds like his "mailbag" is a direct link to the FF.


Knoxville media is the worst

It is a mailbag article, so these are questions that UT fans asked him. If you read the article, then you will see it is not negative in the slightest. While he says that Heupel is not known as an elite recruiter (he isn't), he says that he has done better than every coach since Fulmer. He does not think that he hurts us in recruiting. I enjoyed reading it.
