Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Ulysees E. McGill]

These were some of the best players on the team. This doesn't do that, it just makes it more difficult to play good, consistent or competitive football. We are so screwed. I think the ceiling with a name hire will be top 30 recruiting class. We are in a seriously bad position, think walk-ons in the two deep bad.

Been trying to tell them..but they are all in on hate the truth speaker mode.

This is what happened...Haslams flunkies just destroyed the program to take it back over. Pruitt and his people didn't do anything that everybody else is not doing. They just didn't know that a group of backstabbing mother******* lowlife traitors were just waiting for a chance to use fan unrest as a cover for them to complete a coup.

I hate them

Chadwell is a likeable guy and impressive what he did but I feel like it’s a big risk. He has done this one year and not proven over a period of time that what he does is sustainable. I think you should have him in the list but not at the top. He should be in the 2nd or 3rd tier

One year? He’s done it at every stop? Took North Greeneville to playoffs. Then Charleston Southern. Now Coastal.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Why should we settle for someone who wasn’t good enough at his last stop?....

Would you have settled for Spurrier after he left the Redskins? I would’ve in a heartbeat.

 

[9876543vol]

This guy could be the next Urban.

This is the vibe i get from Chadwell, but I don't know anything.

 

[Power T-Rev]

Bob Stoops > Chadwell

Understatement of the year and we're only half way through January

 

[eVOLve]

In the history of college sports, what makes you sure they will go easy?

Penn State, Wade... want me to go on?

Because we haven’t been good in 20 years and we are about to get self imposed penalties?

 

[Blake25p]

BOB is a damn good coach but gets a bad reputation because of the way things ended in Houston.

Wait a minute.....who is this North Greenville you speak of?

 

[eVOLve]

A slap on the hand? They found 50+ violations! And even without the sanctions Auburn is a better job than UT.

50+ is the daily norm at all of the top programs.

 

[BruinVol]

Why should we settle for someone who wasn’t good enough at his last stop?....

Rick Barnes was good enough at his last stop
Nick Saban wasn’t good enough at his last stop
Bill Belichick wasn’t good enough at his last stop

getting BOB wouldn’t be settling at all

 

[VolInDayton]

I swear man...it's like me, you and engineer are the only guys to see all this for what it is.

History is repeating itself, but this time the mistakes of the last four coaching searches are all happening at once.

 

[99Vol]

Would you have settled for Spurrier after he left the Redskins? I would’ve in a heartbeat.

No. Never liked him and his career was on the downward...

 

[BruinVol]

And guess who Ole Miss hired in December 2011 as their football coach...

Now that’s interesting

 

[zjcvols]

Hey, I’m not a fortune teller. I just read way too many articles and watched how BOB torched down an organization once he had power. Apparently pissed everyone off in the process. Recruited for a season and a half the past 15 years with no ties in our region. Definitely do not think he is in the college game for the long run. His history proves that. His time at PSU is definitely a feather in the hat though.

If Bill O’Brien wasn’t going to be in the college game long, why take the Alabama OC job when he could probably get an NFL job in a second?

 

[VolInDayton]

Just say no to Billdar O’Brien. No more follicularly challenged coaches.

That puts Fleck out of the running.

 

[vol494]

They’ll go fishing in deep waters at first. If they don’t get any bites. Then Jamey will be the coach of the vols.

 

[TheRain]

I love East Tennessee and lived here 20 years, but there’s not much difference in where you live in the South when you make millions/year.

The second fiddle part you maybe say, but Auburn is still more nationally relevant than Tennessee...and that’s not considering potential NCAA sanctions.

You could be right. Auburn sure did get turned down a lot on their coaching search though.

 

[jordan4vols]

Wait a minute.....who is this North Greenville you speak of?

Div 2

 

[UTfan94]

Yes

My wife went to school with him. He holds several Halls HS football records. Class of 98

His dad coached at Carter highschool.

It was one rogue person that helped few players from 2-3 different sports..... they Weren’t allowed to go to a bowl game..... lost 5% of their scholarships..... 3 years probation.... 5,000 dollar fine plus 1% of the football budget..... 7 week bans on unofficial visits.... recruiting communications, and recruiting contacts and evaluations....12.5 % cut in official visits and in person evaluation days....vacated wins in which any player participated....allows all seniors to transfer without restriction..... they complied 100% ..... then look at North Carolina who created fake classes for athletes and fought the ncaaa like crazy and the NCAA decided that no rules had been broken.

So they missed a bowl. SMU had to shut their PROGRAM DOWN. Never have recovered! And once again, Mizzou COOPERATED with a NCAA investigation...not “what we did” with all the heavy lifting. If Plowman had sat on this information there would be threads from some of the same people saying she needed to be booted. She did it right.

 

[zjcvols]

No. Never liked him and his career was on the downward...

Hilarious you say this when Spurrier has a more recent SEC title than UT

 

[eVOLve]

A Bob Stoops hire would be the football equivalent of the Rick Barnes hire

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

SIAP....thanks PAC-12 for taking a bit of heat/attention off of us for a few minutes.

We will end the search right now and suggest taking Sankey.
