Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[RikidyBones]

Swain isn’t really the go to person for any of this

He never is.

 

[Rizzo924]

Campbell or Napier.

This is where I think we’re heading. Are they both considered strong on offense?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Campbell is still the dream. I would be A-OK with Fickell though. Very good HC. His OC hire would be very important.

I think most of us prefer an offensive coach, but a great coach is a great coach.

Is Campbell considered an offensive-minded HC? He’s a great HC and I would take him in a heartbeat, but I’m not sure I’ve ever thought of him as an offensive guru. He’s just a well-rounded coach.

A reminder that you should always aim to be a little too early on a coach.

Getting the feeling that Kingston knows exactly who we are after

 

[Weezer]

Franklin, Campbell and Whittingham would be grand slams. Lane is a home run. Fleck is a loud out, no thanks.

No to Franklin. He tried to cover up rapes at Vandy. Don't need that here.

 

[Pepe]

First: no way it gets to the level of fever pitch as Gruden...no way. Period

Second: John Currie could have flat out said, "Gruden isn't coming", and most would have said, "SMOKESCREEN!!!".

Third: This isn't going to last long enough for it to build to that. Butch was fired on Nov 12, Schiano Sunday was Nov 26. That was 2 weeks for it to build and build and build and build; also, Gruden rumors started before Butch was even fired...hell, before he was even hired. I believe we have our new coach by Wed, at the latest.

But, I do believe Currie was laughing at us throughout.

Currie was so certain of his hire he never considered anyone other than Shiano

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Fleck would also fit that criteria pretty well.

That’s what I’ve said. His name is not really getting thrown around that much.

 

[White Bread]

He never is.

I agree. Now, if Low was on there saying things, then I’d listen.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Kirk Ferentz come on down

Lol yeah because he has an outstanding rep right now

 

[volfan4lyfe]

Getting the feeling that Kingston knows exactly who we are after

Napier it is then?

 

[buffaloblue]

I just cannot fathom Vol Twitter of Lane comes home. It would be the absolute site to see.

 

[drylo]

Exactly. The Dodgers wouldn’t have won the World Series if they hadn’t drafted Mookie in the first round.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Getting the feeling that Kingston knows exactly who we are after

And that would be?

 

[jakez4ut]

what bizzaro world am i living in? Eric Ainge is talking UP Lane Kiffin........???

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Kirk Ferentz come on down

Dude...

 

[jordan4vols]

And that would be?

Fickell it sounds like

 

[TrippieRedd]

And that would be?

 

[Weezer]

Y'all sleepin on Elliott, I think it would be a Grand Slam

I'd absolutely give him a shot if we fall past our current criteria of HC experience.

 

[MarcoVol]

Kirk Ferentz come on down

Lol

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Elliot is not a HC and it’s been stated multiple times they want a proven winner and active HC with p5 experience so why keep bringing his name up?

They literally said in their press release that this isn’t the place to learn on the job or try someone out. It’s not Elliot unless they lied

 

[TheMookieMonster]

A reminder that you should always aim to be a little too early on a coach.

If it’s Elliot or Napier, it’s Tennessee Basketball and that’s it for me.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Fickell it sounds like

defensive guy, not in it

 

[VolInDayton]

what bizzaro world am i living in? Eric Ainge is talking UP Lane Kiffin........???

The station is State run media. You would think the AD and University would tell them to change their tune if he wasn't a possibility.

 

[BearCat204]

We don't have the luxury of gambling on a coordinator. After Dooley, yes. After Butch, yes. After the third failed coach, no. Gotta be the Saban for Tennessee or we hit a mark that is Nebraska/Colorado-esque.

I can see that point


I also think that no matter if you are hiring a current coach or a coordinator, the gamble or risk is just about the same. Plenty of coaches who were hired from other head coaching jobs have failed miserably.

Damn, RIP Hank Aaron (from a Dodgers fan)
