Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[VolFreakJosh]

Too lazy to look it up but what’s Lincoln Riley’s buyout?

 

[MetalVolunteer]

Like Campbell's Chunky????

Nobody knows names. I’ve been making calls since Friday to multiple people, Coaches, Alum, others around our program and others, and DW is SERIOUS about keeping things hush hush. He does not want the media to know of Rejections or whatever. And I for one, applaud that cause it makes us look more competent.

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

Campbell will be our next head coach

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I am fired up!!

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

And I’m not sure why!!

 

[RockyTop411]

Nvm lol

 

[nicksjuzunk]

He gone

 

[m1al]

WELCOME TO ROCKY TOP GREGORY SCHIANO!!!

 

[JAllen18]

Daaaammmmnn UT offered $8mil/yr? That feels good. That’ll work.

You want a top 5 coach, you pay top 5 money.

 

[volfan4lyfe]

If true, Campbell is a slam dunk, grand slam type of hire. Would be huge.

 

[Stoerner Fumbles]

I heard that we addressed NCAA concerns by offering a rolling five years plus any penalty and over 40mm. Things are squeaky tight, and I don’t know when I’ll know more. I heard that Boyd, White we’re together about 6. I don’t know who it is. If we miss, we go straight to two, and still have a coach tomorrow.

Just to correct my math guess. Two years for penalty and a rolling five would make the salary closer to six per year.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I'm assuming Campbell because that's who I was rooting for when we got Pruitt.,

Exactly

 

[volswillrise12]

Did somebody say double D's?

 

[rekinhavoc]

Please be a young energetic coach that can flat out get his players to play like they are on fire.

 

[Devo182]

(You don’t submit an offer unless you know it’ll be accepted.)

I don't follow this. So we never offered Strong, Gundy, Patterson, Brohm, etc?

 

[BruinVol]

He ain't worth it.

He is imo.
I think he’s better than campbell

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Just to correct my math guess. Two years for penalty and a rolling five would make the salary closer to six per year.

Don't do that. Makes it less exciting

 

[VFL1993]

Is Darnell Wright even in the portal?

 

[KB5252]

While true my man out here saying it's for $8mil if I read right. That would only be for a few guys. They aren't giving that much to a guy like TE

I agree 8 mil tightens the candidate pool.

 

[BigSteve09]

He ain't worth it.

EDIT: My bad, thought you were talking about Campbell, not James Franklin. I'll still keep my post below but know it's for Campbell

We are a sh** show right now, we need a program builder and a winner. We need a guy that knows how to do less with more (because of possible sanctions). He is that.

Furthermore, it is a PR rescue and complete 180 of 2017. We are paying to tell EVERYONE that we are serious about football, we are serious about winning.

Sometimes the market can't dictate how you operate. You have to make decisions based on what is happening with you, and what is happening with the partner(s) you have. Right now, we're WAY DOWN IN THE HOLE. So I don't give a DAMN to pay $1,000 for a ladder. LETS GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE.

 

[BeecherVol]

Hey I hope SF is right but if he is DW ain’t working like some secret agent

Oh I wouldn't say that.

We still have no idea who they have and haven't talked to. Or who has even been offered the job. At this point who (assuming his info is legit) is speculation by everybody.

 

[BearCat204]

I'm gonna pause and not get too excited as I have lived through 4 of these already and remember this song. Hopefully everything works out and we get the right guy.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

6 mil might be Fickell though. He makes 3.5
Could mean Brian Kelly as well tho

Impressive. I very much hope we land our first choice, but I respect the hustle here by DW regardless.

Don’t believe so. It has been reported NOWHERE.
