Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[volfan1631]

Thinking 99.9% of VOLnation posters (self-included) need to hope your current jobs are stable, because you all such as an AD

It's good to be retired at an early age

 

[Catbone]

I want franklin if he will bring us wins.

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

Yeah looks like he said that about an hour ago. And this too...

“I’ll tell you what I know. There are a lot of names being thrown at the wall. At his point the ONLY person who knows what’s going on is White. It’s cool to speculate and it gives the fans something to talk about, but the AD is sealed to the point that other employees in the building have no idea.”

It's actually refreshing. For the first time probably ever, it appears UT at least has an AD competent enough to run a search without leaks.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Why don’t we just hire knoxville first Baptist’s preacher?

Matt Campbell wins. Matt Campbell doesn't have these issues.

Weird how personal you're taking this. Also strange how insistent you are on knowing how, why, and what people are thinking. You should pull your head out of your ass and take a deep breath of fresh air. I could give two ***** that Franklin beat poorly coached UT teams on the field. Who hasn't beat us in the last 15 years? We've actually lost to teams worse than Vandy and I have nothing against those head coaches. Mason beat us, and I don't hate him. If anyone is acting like they have hurt feelings, it's you. You're pissed because some of us think Franklin was complicit in some way in trying to make this go away. And I know it's far more up in your feels than it is mine because you're the one throwing out ludicrous comparisons.

Like comparing James Franklin to OJ Simpson? Ludicrous comparisons like that?

A wise man once said "don't respond to any post containing the F word".

Saw that yesterday among a bunch of info saying we would hear something last night or this morning.
Turned the phone off, went to bed and just now checking in. Assuming I missed exactly what I expected?

i'm my own worst enemy sometimes....lol. and yeah, was all ready to see some actual info this morning....nothing so far.

Good. Because clearly we can’t handle news here. We have folks fighting on here about coaches without any idea that they are even being considered

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

I'm out. I have more important stuff to deal with today. Hope we get our guy by day's end.

And I hope it's not Franklin.

Weezer, saying a quick prayer for your mom and family today for positive news.

Volzown when asked if he thought White has his man yet.....30 min ago:

“No”

Damn. Hope he is just out of the loop on this one. Seems like the "insiders" are now getting conflicting reports, too.

Pete Thamel on his Yahoo Podcast said Danny White has raised the bar for what is possible in this coaching search for Tennessee, and listed these three candidates as the ones he thinks DW should go after, even if "there is a bit of a reach factor involved":

Neal Brown
Scott Satterfield
Sonny Dykes

I really hate Pete Thamel. No other reporter hates our program more than him.

Don’t know whether to laugh or cry...

 

[BruinVol]

Matt Campbell wins. Matt Campbell doesn't have these issues.

For that I want him before I want Franklin even though Franklin has won more with less

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Skipped about 40 pages...
nailed it

 

[Skizer41]

me. @Ulysees E. McGill @SweetasSoda ......just to get started.

 

[Batman1948]

ISU fans desperately looking for money to counter our offer -

Do they not know about Go Fund Me? They could learn a thing, or two, from Volnation

 

[05_never_again]

Hilarious - you can kind of tell in the beginning that Hubbs is salty a guy he has no idea about is running the search.

Waking up and reading all the updates this morning

 

[VolsFan-TX]

56 is young?

I’m 52, so I hope so.

^^^^^
All day long.

 

[BigTimeVol95]

Man, the last 15 pages or so have been the Legion of the Miserable in here. The James Franklin prosecution and defense discourse needs to run its course and be gone. It’s making this thing unbearable.

Spot on. It’s unbelievable at this point. I would understand it if we actually hired the guy.

Day shift rolls in and the ace goes all to hell...

 

[Skizer41]

Has Dave Clawson been mentioned from anyone?

Yes in the FF.....

 

[Smokeyshowl66]

Why don’t we just hire knoxville first Baptist’s preacher?

Are you suggesting Baptists have morals?

 

[Ron Swanson]

Damn. Hope he is just out of the loop on this one. Seems like the "insiders" are now getting conflicting reports, too.

I think Volzown knows when something is official. Works in the AD office. He broke news last week when it was official and press conferences were going to happen. When he knows it’ll be done. IMO.
