[RiotVol]

Im just a lurker and dont post much but thank you all for the entertainment. I just got off my 12hr shift and get to stay up all day waiting on a new hvac system to be installed.

Im almost glad i have to stay awake today!

Edit: btw i want to choke the life out of everyone that has used the name JF in the last 12hrs.

Post more.

The longer it goes on today without an announcement worries me we missed out on Campbell. Plus I need to get some freaking work done today, so announce it already.

 

[Z06VolinWV]

For anyone that’s not caught up.Missed it.Skipped some pages or lost their bifocals and found them early this morning.I have a update for you.

Thanks! Woke up 60 pages behind, got through about 12, skipped to the end and picked up on the exact same franklin debate! Lol
Had to double check that I skipped 50 pages.

Will West has no idea who is or is not in play. He thinks very little of this program, and he also has zero sources at the moment. He is every bit in the dark as we are and will learn the moment we all do.

worked in radio. West just isnt my favorite. Ward is super professional. Very good.

 

[Orange Studs]

Why would he not mention Campbell? Does Campbell play LF?

Yes and bats in the clean up spot. lol

 

[Jackcrevol]

You don’t rate Rhule? He would be better then every name mentioned in this search but he’s not happening

ok

 

[VolInDayton]

volnugs is rapidly approaching "loon bag" status

It's been there since last coaching search

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Low said he sees us finishing up talks with coaches today or tomorrow and get a hire made sooner rather than later. Mentioned these names:

Elliott
Franklin
Campbell
Fleck
Fickell

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Fickell is a defensive guy..... No thanks.

 

[turdherder11]

Yall gonna be wishing it was Franklin......when Steele is announced

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

How many of you will still be pro-Campbell when we lose 45-9 to Florida next year?

What point are you trying to make?

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

Ok, let's start the day off being positive. Let's not speak the negativity into todays thread with this search. Think big, think great, think decade of the Vols.

The man said he hates to lose.

Fickell

If that’s accurate that’s a damn good list. Any one those I believe would win here.

 

[BruinVol]

With Zach Smith? Hadn’t thought of that one.

Ohio State Urban Meyer scandal: Luke Fickell discusses allegations

This article states that Zach Smith’s wife said all the coaches wives knew. Was there anything that came from it?

This is going to sound harsh and cold but I don’t care what Fickell, Franklin or schiano knew many moons ago. These coaches work with large staffs and just like the rest of us hear of bad things going on with our co workers. It’s just part of life

so with that said if their current employer deems them suitable for coaching and DW vets them and wants them I ain’t digging up things because all candidates have these things in their closets

Thanks for the info SAV

 

[pierce60]

Or they may know the Boosters directly involved....

Yup! But those media guys know the major boosters too and have for years. They’d be more likely to show off to a media person than random message board poster.

Wow. Would love to have any of those 5 here

It's been smoke screen for Steele this whole time

If you step back and look at it from 30 thousand feet, given everything going on on The Hill, this really is a solid list. Much better than the one John Currie had in 2017 under better circumstances.

Thinking its Franklin or Campbell

 

[Playdo]

AP sleeping through a coaching hire would literally be the funniest/most telling version of events.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

At this point I don't care who they hire as long as it's an offensive minded coach.

 

[Sleegro]

How incredible will it be if they make it to the press conference with no leaks and the announcement is when everyone actually finds out. Would be kinda insane in this day and age.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

He isn't particularly a whale.
But would we take Drinkiwitz from Mizzou...... He is 17-6 overall. Went 5-5 this year and is only 37?

 

[GoBigOrange86]

If it is Franklin, which I sincerely doubt, those of us who would like to live to see Tennessee achieve double digit wins again would really like it if those of you who are "out" don't burn the place down as you exit.
