Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Volnukem]

Becuase Herman has inquired about the job, so has Lane, and AP has said that Chadwell will take the job. There you go

And Gruden was going to be our coach and Lovie Smith was on the plane to take the job. Dan Mullen was going to take the job. I have heard this song before.

Just imagine Kiffin coaching Hyatt, Wideman, and Holiday. Salter too. We would score all the points. I bet he would find an amazing way to utilize Wright's speed also

Receivers are looking good, but our running backs could be great next year. Excited about Small and Beckwith. I'd like to see us run a RPO offense and I think that would fit any of our quarterbacks to be honest.

Marrone looks like he might be next OL coach at Bama.

 

[nesbuddha66]

Its been a long time coming, but I know change is gonna come. TB with the theatrics. boss.

 

[Devo182]

For real real...

Is there ANY chance there would be mutual interest with Kiffin?

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Please God let this happen.

I don’t know that Kiffin “fixed” Crompton. He started rolling him out and took away half his decisions. More like mitigated.

Fixed, mitigated, whatever... he was a different player after Kiffin took over. That's the difference good coaching makes.

 

[BearCat204]

The dude cheated. What litigation is there? He did this to himself. He breached the contract. Pretty cut and dry and most people see that as what needed to be done.

There is nothing "cut and dry" when it comes to contracts

The NCAA is powerless against big schools, look at the basketball scandal ( unc ) or the other basketball scandal ( Kansas, lsu, zona, barn ) or the worst scandal in sports history Penn State. They can't do sh!t as long as Tennessee stands it's ground.

The lack of punishment in basketball is crazy.

Penn State got fined 60 million, a 4 year bowl ban, and like a 45 scholarship reduction over 4 or 5 years.
I think these were all lifted prior to the full term tho.
NCAA still tries to punish in football, or at least they have more so than in basketball. But LSU just got off pretty lightly, so we’ll see what happens

For those in the know, other than the UAB AD and coach, what do other ads on the list have in common with some of the coaches being named?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Imagine being Harrison Bailey and going from Pruitt's offense to Kiffin's. Its not even a debate.

[Deebowbear]

We already are just bc he confirmed he reached out. Can you imagine after all this if we hired Kiffin! This place would be bonkers! Let’s go!

Ive always said after Dooley i. Would love to have him back love his offense

Gilbert's son plays basketball fot Barnes so I'd keep an eye on that one

I don't think we can have a year-long interim, that will kill our chance at making hay with the 2022 class of in-state talent. Steele is a great recruiter, but he can't do it as an interim, holding a place for an unknown, especially with offensive players. I will trust that @Atlanta VOL and his brethren have been working behind the scenes to get an offensive mind or a CEO-type lined up who will work with Steele.

Plowman has set the bar high for our ethical standards, so unfortunately it looks like Freeze and Kiffin are out. I really hope it is not Adam Gase. because he seems like he'd be a terrible fit here, maybe @HankHill disagrees. If Plowman talks to the AD at Texas, she probably won't want Tom Herman around, even though his failings weren't NCAA-related. Napier may be too set on bringing in all of his own coaches, including on defense, which may be a deal breaker for him. Matt Campbell doesn't seem like he is going anywhere any time soon no matter how much you offer him.

That leaves Chadwell, O'Brien, Bill Clark, and Fleck, possibly Marrone, although that looks less likely without Fulmer around. Anyone in the pros I'm missing? Greg Roman? The more I think about it, Fleck may be the best option if he would have any interest whatsoever.

O’Brien or Bill Clark inching up for me.

 

[pismonque]

Marrone looks like he might be next OL coach at Bama.

Of course. Bama is Last Chance U for coaches.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

So maybe we want him to keep saying no way on Kiffin?

We could call it the Big Steve affect

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Saban could have cousin Eddie coaching the OL and they would be dominant.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I can't remember, but did they self report, or were they caught?

I think they were caught, but the players weren’t getting handed cash directly by coaches either.

 

[ThisIsTheYearVol]

So a HC to us and an OL coach to Alabama

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

O’Brien or Bill Clark inching up for me.

Scraping the bottom of the barrel I see.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

We could call it the Big Steve affect

Boom, keep talking sh!t big Steve let's get the lane train rolling
