Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[DustyRockSolid]

Let's be real. The next guy we hire is almost guaranteed to fail. Look at the SEC landscape since Saban entered the conference.

Campbell could succeed here. Kiffin could ALMOST SURELY grasp some form of success here.
It is absolutely so Tennessee to let Kiffin pass us by and settle for someone like Fleck.

 

[KeyVol14]

Is there anything to substantiate the Fleck talk?

He would not be a good fit..that’s not something that would get fans excited

The idea that we're going to pay FU money, if that is indeed the case, that's going to eliminate a lot of names in this thread simply because it would be an embarrassment to overpay for some of these names. I can't see DW doing that. The other thing is that we're used to settling for who we can get but I think that may have changed when DW took over. The who we can get list, I think, probably grew a lot longer. Lastly, DW said one of the first things he said to his wife about the Tennessee job is that he could win a national championship here. Now maybe that's just AD speak or maybe given a few considerations he was being authentic. Until proven otherwise I think we're going after the best coach out there and it will be someone that has already had success against CFB playoff teams. I can't see spending FU money on anyone else. jmo.

We're willing to pay FU money. Doesn't mean we will.

It has to start there for sure. Agreed.

Since UT blocks the tail number of the university plane from being tracked Im gonna need one you goobers in Knoxville to go stake out the airport.

 

[drvenner]

Gladly. Napier is coming with

 

[MarcoVol]

He's got one more year at Nebraska to turn it around IMO. It's not just his name and past, that 2017 UCF season looms large for giving the AD hope. It would be different if Huepel still had them humming along, but he doesn't. So Frost had something working there.

Lol Josh Heupel is 28-8 and has won 10+ games two of the the three seasons he’s been the coach.

All this back and forth makes it clear that there's basically no home run hire that will truly please the fanbase if you consider who is actually available and who will actually come. The only way to make the hire this fanbase wants and deserves is to back up the Brinks truck and overpay for someone. Throw out an offer that is so ridiculous that they can't say no.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Just say NO to Fleck. His schtick would be insufferable.

i cant handle fleck, dude. just no. hell no.

 

[Kingston Vol]

So we have one confirmed candidate at this point: Tony Elliot.

Kiffin. Problem solved.
Its LITERALLY that easy.

They are trending down on his watch.

 

[KPT_VFL]

We are going to be doomed.

 

[Weezer]

Ok cool.

Don't get your Kid Deezy Nuts in a twist, lol.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Fleck credits Shiano for helping him with his coaching career, btw.

 

[Newman]

Yup. Half the fan base likes it the other hates it shocker lol

 

[volbeast33]

Would Fleck bring the "row the boat" thing with him? Would seem awfully played out after he already used it at two other schools. I can't see Butch saying "brick by brick" at Arkansas State, lol.

I read some articles and watched some videos on him today...... it had me wanting to row the boat..... his offense is unique..... it can control the clock and is one of the tops in the nation ion explosive plays.

 

[AnchorDown27]

Why is he doing this to me???

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

He would not be a good fit..that’s not something that would get fans excited

You could argue that Danny White wouldn't be a good "fit" judging by the past hiring practices for that position. I would say he has a majority of the fan base pretty excited.

The row the boat thing is a tribute to his dead son.

So what is P.J. Fleck's 'Row the Boat' all about?

 

[Vol in Central FL]

Before it gets to crazy in here today guys I need some ankle sock recommendations. I wear a size 13 and socks stretch really easy and after a few wears they start to slip with me inside my shoe. Anybody got anything ? I know this is right up @nicksjuzunk ally , but I'm sure it will be a few days before he gets to this post.

Over the moon originated from a Nursery rhyme written by a guy with the last name “Elliot”

 

[Volsfan895]

It is asinine to hire another coordinator with no HC experience.

 

[volbeast33]

Fleck would fail here. Its pretty simple. New coach in 3 or 4 years.

Why?

 

[BarrythesnoUT]

Why is he doing this to me???
