Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Fisher and Marrone will both be boring.

But probably safe. Especially with the right OC hires. Chadwell may have a higher ceiling. But he likely has a much lower floor.

 

[Kingston Vol]

That’s how long this rebuild will take

I'm not being intentionally obtuse, please describe the "rebuild" for me. Then I'll let you know if I'd sign up for it.

How the hell did firing the dude that turned us into a talentless garbage dump "hurt our brand"

Everybody with any football sense that watched the program knew he had broken it beyond repair. The culture was , the S&C was , the recruiting was , the coaching staff was , development was ..etc etc etc...

And then as a exclamation point, he put the worst team in UT history on the field his last year..he absolutely deserved to be canned.

Don't Hold back.

Hope we hear something this week.
First, I’d make Campbell say no. Next 3 calls would be Lane, Freeze, and lastly Gus to see who has the best plan for staff and how to renew this **** show of a program.

 

[LA Vol]

So ur saying Pruitt could stay and Steele becomes DC...there is no way

I said UT is looking to add another defensive coach and Steele is a flexible option.

I'm with you except Gus. I'd rather have Fisher or Marrone than Gus. JMO

 

[MarcoVol]

Why not? He could double his salary and add to his resume.

Bc he’s a HC of an FBS school already, has made a name for himself on the national stage, and will get HC offers whether it be this season or next.

Demoting yourself isn’t adding to your resumé.

“Napier doesn’t want this job”

- Price

Wonder why? Is he holding out for somewhere else?

 

[BAJAvol]

If Tennessee makes a move, why would we not target Herman? I understand that he isn't a grand slam, proven championship coach, but he has more of an upside than Chadwell or Marrone IMO. Losing the Texas job may have put a chip on his shoulder and I like the success from the Meyer tree. Don't believe the talk coming from Texas.

 

[InstrumentalVol]

I'm not sure if Chadwell would be a great hire or not. Risky for sure. But he doesn't run the triple option, guys. This isn't like hiring Paul Johnson so that rhetoric needs to stop.

I'm also not sure If I would want to risk a hire with a guy who has never coached in the power 5 at a place like TN that is currently a dumpster fire, or if I'd rather go the safe route with a Marrone or Fisher who could hire a great staff and stabilize this thing with their experience.

He absolutely does run a version of the triple option lmao. Read the first few lines of all of this article, which give great breakdowns -
Coastal Carolina's Two-Headed Backfield

After watching more games and offense breakdowns though I realize that Salter could win a Heisman in this offense. It would be very similar to the Ravens and if McCall could look as good this year as a Freshman I imagine someone like Salter could dominate. But God help Chadwell the first time he loses 4 yards on one of his more tricky plays because VN will erupt on him for his gimmicky offense.

My mistake I interpreted that wrong. I’m not a fan of that idea either.

 

[volbeast33]

@volbeast33 You’ve become one of my favorite posters. You must watch a lot of ball.

I’m married with kids.... it’s about all I have left for myself

PREACH

 

[TN-POSSUM]

What worries me the most, is UT hasn't made a statement about JP's future yet. It makes me wonder if they even know we're in the middle of a coaching search.

Does Ansley go back to secondary or just leave period?

Dude hasn’t taken one snap in college football and you think he could win the Heisman?

Gus and Marrone are a 3a and 3b for me. I only lead towards Gus for his familiarity with the SEC. Both would/need be ceo type last ditch effort.
I’d offer Gus, IF, he gave complete control to a good OC and let it be.

 

[butchna]

Why not? He could double his salary and add to his resume.

You don’t ADD to your resume by demoting yourself. None of the hot OC hires of the past few seasons were candidates who voluntarily stepped down...they were fired.

 

[InstrumentalVol]

To win in the SEC you have to be able to recruit as good as Georgia, Alabama, LSU & Florida and you have to be innovative enough to stay ahead of the trend like Bama has been with offense dominant play. Who checks those two boxes?

1) Freeze
2) Lane
3) Chadwell
1,240) Marrone
5,600) Fisher

IM HOPEFUL

 

[snowvols]

Napier waiting on Dabo to leave.

I dont think they get along. Clemson would promote Elliott if Dabo was to suddenly retire. Napier probably is waiting for LSU or UF. He would probably get one or the other when O or Mullen leave.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Reggie?

Touche

 

[butchna]

He wants out imo.

 

[yourstruly23]

Chadwell
Napier
Freeze
Herman
Fisher

All upgrades.. it's all about if we want to upgrade from a pinto to a Ford Taurus or to a BMW

He doesn't run it in a traditional way is the point. Someone had the offensive stats in here a few pages ago. They have basically equal rushing and passing yards. This isn't a traditional triple option offense. Paul Johnson only passed to surprise teams. CC passes the ball all over the field.
