Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Christian Lowe]

Because they’re fool proof right?

More foolproof than some random guy on a message board saying “he’s still guilty, I don’t care what the courts say, I just don’t like him”

UT's inner circle on this is four people-- four very close-mouthed people. Then you have outside noise from agents and media, fueling speculation that's generally agenda-driven.

IDT this was intended to be a broad search. I think it has been very contained with a specific profile of the kind of guy UT wants. By the time legit news "leaks," UT will be buttoning it up with an announcement soon after. And staff announcements will start coming soon after that.

I totally agree. I actually think they had this candidate in mind when they went out and got AD White. They specifically brought him in the close this deal. jmo

 

[jave36]

None of that is proven and the DA disagrees that what you allege happened. At least have the decency to not parade around like that's a fact. It undercuts your argument.

The standard for criminal convictions is MUCH higher than hiring someone for a job. By your logic, Ray Lewis is innocent because he wasn't convicted, so we should be OK with hiring him.

Same with Big Ben. Plenty of people don't get prosecuted when big money is involved.

Maybe Cristobal will bring his S&C coach with him.

Could be the big O that AV was talking about.

 

[NMVol]

Got the name wrong, timeline wrong, contract details wrong... hahaha.

Am thinking he was late to the story that Fleck told his team he in not heading out to coach the Vols.

Rice was throwing cold water on Campbell. Stating ISU would most definitely match $7+. For Campbell is going to about more than the $$$.

They're in financial trouble and don't have the boosters we have. If they were going to raise his salary they would have done it by now.

 

[Dudleys87]

He knew about it? You mean he found out about it. He cooperated with the investigation and was cleared of any wrong doing. Its a lazy take, if you're going off the Tennesseans version or what happened in Nashville then AJ Johnson is guilty for that matter.

I don’t have to like any person associated with the word. Like I said before my wife was a victim. I’m not about to change my views on this. Keep trying tho

 

[KingtUT]

My source is telling me its a done deal. People will be surprised at the cost and how many options were considered, but at least the search is over. We are in fact having filet mignon for supper. Still dont know which sides we’re having but its a start!

 

[Kingston Vol]

.......unless he wins 3 games in his 3rd year, then we are certainly not behind him.

To be fair, all indications are Pruitt would have survived a three win season if people behind the scenes didn't hate him because he treated them so badly. And, of course, the inept cheating.

 

[Ten_Titans]

We will be getting Gene Chizik

Let's ride.

 

[BennisDrewer]

Mike Hawk has reportedly turned the job down as well, per source.

That had to be a hard decision for him, I feel the school would have erected a statue had he came.

 

[Chuckie]

Since Linvol asked for everyone to stop posting, I will make this announcement. JORDAN > LEBRON and its not close. Also, star wars is incredibly overrated. Discuss.

Hope so.

 

[LA Vol]

I think this is great.
But it's killing me.

They're going to hire who they're going to hire. UT wants to make the best hire possible. It may not be the fan favorite, but it's a guy the AD is comfortable with and who they think can get the program back to where it needs to be.

 

[volbeast33]

He's so butthurt over the idea of Kiffin

He is correct though.

 

[Nuctech777]

At least we can agree that he’s an improvement. Forgive me for not thinking he’s a complete game changer.

Agree to disagree. I didn’t know much about him until his name was mentioned in November. Considering the position we are in and our recent history, I think he would be a good fit.

 

[BruinVol]

A hire on the level of Will Healy or Tony Elliott is certainly realistic to me, but what I think it would show is both the coaching community and our new athletic department believes the sanctions are going to be pretty bad and we are years away from coming out of it.

Hiring one of those guys tells me there is an assumption we are three to five years away and we will let them grow here. And I don't mean that as a negative thing either.

I hope, no matter who is hired, that we give big money and a long-term, guaranteed type deal. Signal to everyone - the fanbase, the coaching staff, the national media, that we are 100% behind our guy and we won't be wavering on him any time soon.

Will Healy and Tony Elliott aren’t even close to the same tier level. Not close

And whether you want to believe it or not you can lie your ass off and get away with it. Ask a good lawyer they do it every day

 

[jave36]

He would have survived by default, but no one was behind him or supporting him.

 

[Power T-Rev]

AP looks like he got stung by the bee from Honey I Shrunk the Kids

Looks like AP has been sucking Brent Hubbs life force

A hot dog is a sandwich. Change my mind

If a hot dog was a sandwich it would be called a hot dog sandwich. You're welcome.

I have to be the only person on this board without sources
