Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

It’s definitely unconventional but this is UT.

Alright, I’m done.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

It makes me depressed knowing Tennessee will never be on the big stage again playing for a National Championship.

 

[volamite86]

He will never sniff first or second place here.

People are falling in love with his record at Syracuse, but it’s really not that great. You can say he brought them back from 4 wins in 4 seasons or whatever, but he was only above .500 for 2 of his four seasons there. Also, it was a terrible conference against terrible competition.

Alright this is it, find me one time an assistant coach has been hired for a head coach before the head coach has been hired, good Lord.

We're talking about 2 different things, I never said Steele was hired for Pruitt you did. I'm saying when a coach gets involved with a job he starts to make calls to assemble a staff and that's fact

 

[Z06VolinWV]

Sippin on some Michters, enjoying the fireworks of Volnation and the shitshow our nation is in, hoping for a Bama loss...even as much as I hate OSU. Cheers y’all!

 

[White Bread]

O’Brien Bama OC

 

[FranklinVFL]

Odds that they interrupt the game, put Freeze full screen and he rips off his suit to reveal an all orange one??

Some of us still have an issue accepting we are not that big in football anymore.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I wouldn’t say he “won” at ole miss. He had one great year which was followed up by a dud and then fired for cheating. i think he did a good job but some people are acting like he won 2 titles. In the same season after they beat bama they got beat 30-0 to Arkansas and then 42-3 to TCU.

I remember...I have never been on the Freeze train.

Bill o Brien going to Bama as OC

This All Day Long. Freeze is not going to be hired here and for that I'm grateful. He isn't this second coming of Lombardi that some are making him out to be. He had some big highs at Ole Miss but like Hank said....a thoroughly mediocre overall tenure. All while cheating like crazy, which he is probably doing on a larger scale at Liberty. It's not quite SMU stuff but suffice it to say he is still doing things that he won't get away with in Knoxville at present. Again, glad he wont be our guy.

 

[Vols4us]

I do think there’s a chance Steele wouldn’t mind taking small role here at least to have a year to relax and weigh his options. Not like he’s needing the money. Chip Long basically did the same thing.

It makes a lot more sense for him to wind it down doing something less stressful while staying involved in the game. He could really help a new coach with no SEC experience get acclimated. Money would probably not be the driver with him turning 63 in March. He's probably in good shape financially.

BTW - Hugh Freeze is not wearing orange tonight on ESPN News Filmroom Megacast of the CFB Playoff National Championship Game. Maybe he changes his shirt at halftime. Stay tuned.

 

[Power T-Rev]

He’s being hired as an analyst. This is a Fulmer thing.

I don't know. Seems like everyone is grasping at straws at this point

Acceptance is the final stage of grief. I got there after the GSU game last year.

When you hit the acceptance stage of that it’s much easier. I will number happy if we start winning 9-10 games and competing for the East every 3-4 years.

Lol, remember orange tie watch on MNF

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Can’t wait for Chadwell’s introductory press conference. Hope will be restored.

You seriously think Chadwell will succeed here?

 

[Vols4us]

BOB will prove himself at Bama and be Saban's replacement when he retires IMO.

 

[KeyVol14]

You seriously think Chadwell will succeed here?

I do tbh

 

[OrangeDrip]

Come on man. UT would not bring on Steele for a future coach before he’s hired. This bordering on total detachment with reality.

You saying we’re going to win 10 games next year proves that you definitely are detached from reality!

 

[Aesius]

Lol, remember orange tie watch on MNF

Then he wore a red tie and it was because he was headed to Arkansas. We couldn’t compete with their Walmart and Jerry Jones money!

That and fields being hurt.

They have a backup for every position, Bama does too

I can see him down there now with all those mouth breathers
