Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

That would be a good coaching staff, but not sure if serious.

Over what we have now? I’m dead serious.

 

[BAJAvol]

-Freeze
-Rhule
-Campbell
-Sark
-Napier

That's the list

 

[05_never_again]

I don’t think we’re talking about the same Pete Carroll. I’m talking about the one that coached at USC in the early to mid 2000s.

Seriously? Yes...he's with the Seattle Seahawks now. Been there ever since he left USC. Won a Super Bowl there, should have won another, made the playoffs a bunch of times.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

It’s always darkest before the light.

We have been saying that for at least the last 2 hires.

 

[SLICKYINC]

-Freeze
-Rhule
-Campbell
-Sark
-Napier

That's the list

That’s a decent list but not the list.

 

[yourstruly23]

if Phil is fired, shouldn't we be firing him soon to have a new AD in place to fire to fire JP and bring someone in new?

 

[Ace]

I was surprised his name didn't come up more during the search to replace Butch. At the time, he had just a couple good years at Troy with the highlight being a win at LSU.

He hasn't set the world on fire at West Virginia though.

WV was a trash fire when he took over. I think they are 5-4 right now.

 

[Thatdude8]

I bet you have the best drugs.

You’re damn right. Knoxville used to be famous for good football, now we’re famous for good drugs and homeless people.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

I have heard that Cutcliffe is most likely retiring at end of season.

Don’t let him.

 

[Batman1948]

I had a dream we fired Pruitt and then hired Freeze soon after. It's happening boys

That sounds like a wet dream

 

[05_never_again]

if Phil is fired, shouldn't we be firing him soon to have a new AD in place to fire to fire JP and bring someone in new?

We should, but at Tennessee you need to hire a search firm and take 6-9 months to find a replacement.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

-Freeze
-Rhule
-Campbell
-Sark
-Napier

That's the list

No

 

[MrVolton]

I think Neal Brown would be a good fit for UT. He has SEC experience. Some of you know, I live in NE Arkansas and I follow AState football and SunBelt football (Vols first). Brown’s Troy teams were the most impressive teams I have watched in person outside of UT games. His teams were always disciplined. When playing AState they were more physically imposing than all other teams. They were fundamentally solid. What we have seen for the last three years has not been fundamentally solid.

I’d take him over Napier or Chadwell.

 

[BAJAvol]

That’s a decent list but not the list.

What would you change

 

[BAJAvol]

No

Lmao why

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Problem is Phil isn't getting fired ans neither is JP

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

-Freeze
-Rhule
-Campbell
-Sark
-Napier

That's the list

I wish! But not realistic on Campbell and Rhule.

Freeze
Harskin
Brown
Napier
Sark
Chadwell

 

[snowvols]

We should have hired Mack Brown instead of Pruitt, at least we'd be stabilized right now.

 

[05_never_again]

WV was a trash fire when he took over. I think they are 5-4 right now.

Trash fire? The last 3 seasons they had under Holgorsen were 10-3, 7-6, 8-4. Finished #20 in the country in 2018 and were #6 in the country at one point, but ran him off anyway.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

I don’t think we’re talking about the same Pete Carroll. I’m talking about the one that coached at USC in the early to mid 2000s.

Dude. Just stop.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Lmao why

Let see.
Rhule, Campbell, Freeze are pupe dreams. Sark isn't terrible but hes also been with Saban, we don't need another Saban product.
We can do better than Napier.

 

[Devo182]

I just stated the facts of the situation. There are many ways to source money-- and all come with strings or obligations. If you don't have the money in reserve to fund something, you have to raise it, borrow it or have it gifted. Technically, I guess you could steal it, but let's go with the other three.

Just borrow the dang money. Should get a very low interest rate with no strings attached.

Paying a bit of interest would be WELL worth it to do what we want with it.

 

[BAJAvol]

I wish! But not realistic on Campbell and Rhule.

Freeze
Harskin
Brown
Napier
Sark
Chadwell

Something tells me Rhule wouldn’t mind coming back to college after they go 4-12

 

[Catbone]

Steven Godfrey on 104.5 the zone is ripping the Athletic dept at Tennessee.

Good

Bryan Harsin - Wikipedia

I watched him at AState. Good coach, rough personality - no nonsense - but that does not disqualify. Freeze was favorite among AState fans between Harsin, Gus, and Freeze.
