Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[volfan1631]

“Campbell has no southern experience. Never has worked in the south, could he recruit in this region/league.”
also Hubbs

The internet and social media has changed that

 

[Devo182]

Pretty sure this thread is the dedicated coaching search thread. Have yet to see anything discussed that wasn't related to the search.

Then you didn't see me asking about Pelotons and how much cash can scientifically fit into a Mcdy's happy meal bag

Also, who dis?

 

[volinbama256]

anyone looking at Ole Miss boards? There should be smoke over there if something is indeed going on with Kiffin....

 

[Ashevolle]

If Kiffin would of had any resemblance of a defense this past year he would of won more games than he did. His defense killed him.

We have the players to have a good defense. With Kiffins offense Tennessee would be immediately better.

Who is to blame for his defense? That's always been his problem and that problem will continue. He is gifted at scoring points and that's about it.

Good one..

 

[AntiochVol08]

Butch had two top 5 recruiting classes. I don’t think not having southern ties led him to not being able to recruit this area

You think he chose to ignore this area intentionally? Kinda proves my point. The south runs football. You’re not getting where you want to go without the southeast. Sure there’s always the outlier (USC, Texas, Oregon) but they’ve got a geographic excuse. But even Oregon has started to dip into the south lately.

It's about time, *******.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

4-3 in bowls like 35-28 overall. That's not top shelf.

70-43? That better?

 

[Bigworm87]

Bruh, Kiffin was 5-5 this year..... lulz

And? He did that first year in the sec west and put up more points than anyone one Bama with a bunch of transfers. Campbell won 3 in his first year. Your point? He also followed that 3 with 8, 8, 7 and 9. If he's so good then why in year 4 with all of his guys is he still only winning 7 games? He's an avg to slightly above avg coach. Not elite.

Kiffin would actually utilize our TEs and WRs properly. Getting Velus and Hyatt in space.

It’s funny when the head coach isn’t to blame when they aren’t Tennessee’s coach if they have a bad defense and or offense

Ole Miss literally had no depth on defense. That’s what was responsible. Lol

 

[Devo182]

Hubbs says Elliot has been contacted

Well that would be embarrassing.

"Yo, you f***** my wife 2 years ago...can you come rear my children as well?"

 

[BloodShovel]

All of Kiffins stops as HC were rebuilds with USC as the exception and they were under penalties.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

If I am Mr.White my first call is Bill O’Brien.He resurrected Penn State out of a lot worse situation than we are in.He also has NFL head coaching experience which could help with recruiting.I wouldn’t pay attention to his NFL coaching record.You can’t control player personnel in the league. Lots of great college coaches don’t do well in the NFL. I know he just signed on to be the oc at Bama but I would make a run at him.

Took the Bama OC job this afternoon.

 

[SweetasSoda]

FFS, Hubbs said “contacted,” not “hired.”

Where did Hubbs get this info? I'm not thinking DW and his small group that know would leak that. Who did?

 

[volfan1631]

Actually bubba isn’t the one that found it. Get a clue

But he claimed that's what it was

 

[jakez4ut]

let us know what you find out.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Ole Miss had no depth on the defensive side of the Ball. Tennessee had plenty of depth on the defensive side of the ball and had one of the top secondaries the year before this one and then immediately regressed. That is why Tennessee was blamed for having a terrible defense because of the coach.

Took the Bama OC job this afternoon.

I know I would still at least talk to him

 

[BigSteve09]

I want an Atlanta Vol riddle to solve to figure out the head coach.

He said he was over the moon and he said that they don't use a certain plane because there isn't enough head room.

 

[BruinVol]

That dude lives rent free in that dome of yours lol

I literally just said I think he’s correct in the post too quoted

 

[Smokey123]

You do realize that this Oklahoma team is like past Oklahoma teams?..just making that clear the red River rivalry isn’t a big hit no more and the big 12 is garbage..but if it is him I’ll accept just be sure to mark off conference USA,Big east and big 12 coaches on the list of coaches we have tried that’s had decent years and failed here in the SEC...

this is the conference that makes or breaks coaching careers..I understand we need a coach that players want to play hard for and Campbell most certainly fits that bill but he’s not as proven as y’all think.

Good thing he also beat them in 2017 when OU went to the playoffs and took UGA to OT

 

[JCP201]

I want a coach who will coach players up. I would be shocked if Lane Kiffin is hired here- and honestly, if he leaves Ole Miss after one season, has he really grown at all? Why would you think he wouldn't leave us for a better job?

 

[Devo182]

Okay, let’s do a logic game like the last couple of days: I have two questions regarding Campbell.

1) Why would he take this job over bigger openings?

2) He will probably get an NFL job in a couple years so why make this move now?

Word is he has already shut down calls from NFL orgs. It's a longshot...but isn't that we always ask of our leaders? At least take the big shots first.
