Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Imagine the vol navy with fleck

 

[TrippieRedd]

Cool, make it good. Don't want you to continue to look stupid.

You've done that to yourself, no worries on my side

 

[jakez4ut]

I think Campbell has a offer and has not said no yet.

 

[Weezer]

Obviously. Not sure what you're trying to say. TN is still big compared to a lot of other school based on what we did in the 90s where we don't have to go hire coordinators.

Our programs two most successful HCs had no prior HC experience when hired. Fulmer was our OC, and the General was an assistant prior to becoming HC.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I'm just trying to get enough mojo to get the invite to the prestigious @OGbabyaviVol , @InVOLuntary , @volatil and friends group chat. That's the cool kids table.

That’s where things are happening. You can feel privileged since I shared with you who the new coach will be.

 

[vol81]

Everything, I mean everything, that has and is being reported by all media types and so called sources/insiders is a smokescreen for what is really going on. The small group that do know are not talking, at least not giving specific info on process or names. StorenerFumbles is bringing better info than all media types put together. When it’s done CLow will be first or co-first to break it. Should happen in the next 48 hours.
In the meantime don’t feed the trolls and terminal negateers. Ignore their posts, you can’t reason with them; or block them. They only seek attention.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Per Bob on 247 on who’s making the hire, White or Haslams...

It’s not about Haslam dictating this time. They are on the same page and it’s White’s decision with their blessing. There is trust there. That goes a long way.

....

Haslams like Lane? He a candidate?

They have a good relationship. He’s leaving it to White. I do not think Kiffin is a candidate.

 

[amazingGRACE]

I’ve talked myself into Fleck. Dude is an all around great guy & a really good football coach. Kind of impossible not to like him.

I’m ready to row.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Talk about a stretch, wow. Dude has had nothing but 5 and 4 stars to work with just like Pruitt. Not sure if you are trying to convince yourself or everyone else.

Pruitt ran this program like it was the 80’s jist having an offensive mind would help us out tremendously.

 

[Batman1948]

Yep, I've turned down projects that aren't what I'm looking for at that particular time. And I've taken a few projects just because the money was too good to pass up and they, predictably, weren't the best experiences. Coaches are no different. They could pass because of timing, location, family, fit, personal goals or any number of factors. We need a guy who wants to be at UT, is up for the challenge, meshes well with our personnel, wants to win and is ready to rebuild.

Then why didn't you just say Kiffin or Freeze

 

[MarcoVol]

I think he’s in the discussion because Whites sister is the assistant AD at SMU where Dykes coaches.

That’s right I forgot that connection

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

What if it’s Freeze or Kiffin the whole time and he just wanted media off the scent so they can set the announcement narrative.

Possibly could see it for Kiffin. Not Freeze. 0 chance Freeze's name has even crossed DWs mind.

 

[Jackcrevol]

That idiot pays Western Michigan $10k/year to use the phrase “Row the boat”. How stupid.

do you know the story behind it? kinda personal for him. not so stupid.

P.J. Fleck's 'Row the Boat': UMN Gophers football coach explains

Cannot imagine.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

better thanba coordinator

Elliott has called plays in championship games. And has in roads with top talent in and around TN. Chadwell sings Rocky Top... Big difference

 

[drylo]

Elliott is growing on me. Seems like a great dude to take a shot on. If he can get some buzz and load the roster in the first couple years, that could be enough to get him over the hump and create that aura of success that is really the key.

Will also say Fleck’s no-visit policy makes me a little nervous. Still think he is a good coach.

dude, Pruitt had too. no way. yabo and nick are all that is evil in this cfb world

 

[MarcoVol]

It's for 5 years and toward a scholarship, not the school. He wanted the slogan that had a special meaning to him and did something nice in the process.

People just tryna find a reason to hate on him bc they can’t deny his results as a HC

We would become the corny navy.

@HankHill be like..

Y’all put wayy too much focus on the wrong things lol.

 

[Batman1948]

Thats why Tennessee sucks. You guys support whatever polished turd they throw out there as coach.

It's physically impossible to polish a turd

 

[destair]

Right, which is why I think if we’re meeting with Elliott today, it’s a done deal.

nope

 

[VOLFAN_JD]

Do you all think the names most have listed, that it’ll be one of those or are we completely off?

What’s your all’s opinion.

 

[Adam2014]

I think some of y'all need a break. I just watched the Tiger documentary on HBO Max and I highly recommend it.
