Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Helton1]

From what I’ve read, Kiffen is being vetted then it’s Chadwell and Napier.

Who is Kiffen?

Latest from Bob on 247 this morning...

Scream Fickell to me

 

[Volfanatic_20]

Curious who everyone thinks is worth the $7mil that we have reportedly thrown out?

Stoops, Riley a couple that come to mind.

 

[White Bread]

Who is Kiffen?

Never heard of her

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I really hope it’s not Napier. Something about that guy just rubs me the wrong way, and Tennessee needs a coach with P5 experience badly. I’m over the up-and-comer route.

 

[Batman1948]

The revenue sharing in that conference is a big reason they left.

The Big 12 is pretty much Texas and OU. Everyone else is just along for the ride. That's one of the reasons ATM is in the SEC now.

I hate you all

It's like reading war and peace only they keep adding chapters while you're reading.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Ha! I should be asking you.

I have an idea of two names I personally love who I think we're targeting, but opinions are mixed on this board. I've got the rep as the bad list guy so I'll leave it at that.

Fickell and Napier?

 

[KeyVol14]

Your not paying 7 mill a year to someone like chadwell, Neal brown, Bill Clark etc. my money it’s on Campbell or Kiffin

 

[Vol4ever]

Who is Kiffen?

I'm gonna guess its not Kiffin. I am thinking maybe Campbell is the big hire and then Napier and Chadwell.

 

[mrmax86]

I'm ignoring anyone who says James Franklin in this thread again.

I think we are wading in these waters boys.

Matt Campbell
PJ Fleck
James Franklin
Kyle Whittingham
Lane Kiffin (Think NCAA stuff is too long ago and minor to hold him back)

 

[Vol4ever]

Your not paying 7 mill a year to someone like chadwell, Neal brown, Bill Clark etc. my money it’s on Campbell or Kiffin

I bet Campbell and Kiffin will cost over 5 mil.

 

[jakez4ut]

The station is State run media. You would think the AD and University would tell them to change their tune if he wasn't a possibility.

well that, and Ainge has been on record literally just hating lane kiffin....there's text messages or something out there somewhere....so hearing him talk him up....stands out.

 

[BruinVol]

Yes. They won’t pay $7mil for guys like Chadwell or Napier. That number is just for the big fish if they can land them.

Napier might warrant that money to get him. If you think he’s the guy do what it takes to get him from waiting on LSU or FSU

 

[Volsfaninva917]

lol

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Campbell
Kiffin
Fickell

Chadwell is the absolute floor.

Make it happen Danny!

 

[rjd970]

The fact that I work night shift (I don’t care to check what I say before I reply) & I’m just regurgitating what I’ve read from other boards definitely proves you wrong.

Settle down - its just a pet peeve of mine. It's for real not hard, I can't for the life of me figure out why people can't spell a 6-letter name right.

 

[SLICKYINC]

i've gotten to the point now if i see anything remotely close to caldwell, frankling, patterson, Dykes....et al...........i assume they're a troll or stupid, keep on scrollin. lol. you already know the group that's making those type of posts, so the description generally fits one or the other.

Lol, I have a few other criteria also. Trolls, FF guys who just showed up within the last few weeks posting like they’ve been in the RF for a long time and randos. Just can’t bring myself to ignore people so I scroll on by now.

 

[volinbama256]

So Rucker is saying that UT is willing to pay 7 mil per for right hire. Who is attainable that is worth that?

Maybe we can take some of that and light a fire under Barnes to get his team's heads outa their asses....

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

cracked me up

 

[VOLED]

If Atlanta Vol is to be believed, then I don't think Kiffin will be the guy. Why? Atlanta Vol has stated that Kiffin reached out when Jeremy was fired. Atlanta Vol has also stated that they talked to a coach/coaches several weeks ago. Why would Kiffin reach out if he had been contacted several weeks ago? I guess this doesn't necessarily mean that Kiffin couldn't get in the game, but it appears that some of the boosters had already decided who the pool of candidates would be. I would think that White could change this candidate list if he really felt strongly about one of them. It would appear to boil down to how much say these boosters have in picking the right guy.

 

[LA Vol]

This is what every single program in the country wants

Pretty much, yeah. There just aren't that many, so schools end up prioritizing and compromising to get the guy who checks the big boxes and is a good fit with the school, its goals and leadership.

 

[rjd970]

Who is Kiffen?

For real. SMH.

 

[JohnnyD1024]

Scream Fickell to me

Fickell isn't offensive minded, he was a defensive coordinator.

 

[jakez4ut]

I like Kiffin and he makes football fun, but IDT this was the initial direction. They want a strong leader, proven winner and program builder that can stabilize the program, set a culture and be a long-term guy. No drama and no embarrassment-- keep the program out of trouble, get the players, build quickly and win.

c'mon, can we not have some fun along the way too?
