@Neyland Rising - A member for 7 years and ZERO posts... Very disciplined.

I just want to give a shout out to @BlackLabelVols

If the presser is at noon tomorrow, we likely got option 2 or 3

Why would it indicate that? Based on what evidence?

It seems far more likely you're just being pessimistic.

 

[tomq_123]

Yup. We had to take someone from the bottom of the list.

Next time we should just start at the bottom of the list. Save us all some time and energy.

I’m curious why the timing of the PC would Indicate option 2 or 3? Not saying your wrong, I just don’t get the connection.

Not a single thing has leaked from this search and all of VN is dabbing their eyes with Kleenex thinking DW is on his 7th choice lmao

Volzown from VQ

"LOL, this is great. I do expect some news to trickle out after some events today, no Richard."

No dick???

 

[DustyRockSolid]

@BlackLabelVols we see you.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Do we know if the media room picture is accurate? If there is a presser, the media would know about it

 

[DaddyChad]

Actually looking like Franklin by recent Twitter follows.

 

[Wickman]

If our coach doesn’t start the presser like this, fire him

Wait we got the 7th choice, awesome.

so....we hiring the first female coach?

 

[NMVol]

Night shift will only have bones to sift through. I hope someone thinks to break out the Ouija board.

 

[WarMachine]

I don't like the thought of Franklin ... I'm not going to stop watching, but blah.

 

[05_never_again]

I think it's as simple as:

1) the DA cleared Franklin of all wrongdoing via press statements
2) Franklin is a helluva coach

Why would a school look any further into it than that? He's not accused (outside of message boards) of having done anything wrong. So, where's the PR problem?

4 of his players were found guilty of a rape, 3 of which are doing hard time for it, there was smoke about him maybe or maybe not being aware of the existence of a video of it, and he testified in the criminal trial about it. Even if he's totally innocent, it's still a huge PR problem. Especially given that he's the HC at a school that had a gigantic child sex abuse scandal before he got there.

Neyland Rising seems to be a Kiffin supporter

It’s Lane! He is checking out what we really think of him. When he gets done he is going to decide whether or not he is accepting the job.

 

[goooooovols]

Would wager based on timing things not going as planned for option 1. Who knows who that was. Who knows who 2 is.

Some good and reasonable guesses..... but NO ONE knows besides maybe 5 people right now.

Is there a chance... and I know this sounds crazy but is it possible the AD is actually doing a thorough job of vetting all candidates and interviewing like he said to make sure we are getting the best possible guy?

 

[sona]

@Neyland Rising is my hero and I don't even know if I've ever seen one of his posts.

He / she has NEVER posted. Biding their time, waiting for the right moment.

 

[VFL1993]

Someone on VQ who seems respected just said tomorrow at noon

There goes another work day!

 

[tnhunter 10]

Have I missed anything iof interest in the last 60 pages?

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

So uhh we got a coach yet?

Someone should notify the media to make a big stink about it. They seem to have not been as worried about as the investigative journalism wing of VN.

That may have played a role. I don’t think there is necessarily a single black and white, cut and dried explanation. That said, if anyone wants to connect the dots, there are plenty of red flags around that situation. In that instance, major sports media outlets weren’t interested in connecting those dots. If the situation were a little different, they might have become interested, and the coverage might have looked very different. That’s my opinion.

@BlackLabelVols we see you.

Now the dude has more alerts than he does posts haha
