Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[VolGee4]

I am curious why you think he couldn’t get a job after we finally fired him?

I will hang up and listen.

It doesn’t mean you have to call him a trash head coach. Has nothing to do with getting a job after UT. I do think that term is used more than it should be. He did something right to win a national title.

Not that he'll (probably) coach LBs, but he was part of some really good defenses at Nebraska and LSU

Edit: he was just a grad assistant at LSU

IDT they'll pass on a QB this class. They'll find one.

Agreed, but he probably won't be highly rated. Doesn't mean he can't come in and eventually be just fine. I don't expect this class will be anything spectacular for us, which is really sad considering the in-state class, but has more to do with the mess we're in than it does with anything JH or his staff has done or can do. Hopefully we can at least stay in the Top 25 when recruiting rankings are all said and done.

Fulmer was one of the original "CEO-type" coaches. He let Chavis run the D and he let Cutcliffe run the O. He trusted his coordinators to do their jobs. Unfortunately for him, he failed when it came to hiring a replacement for Cutcliffe, twice. And honestly, the game was starting to pass him by. Doesn't mean he wasn't a great coach in his time, but time eventually passes everyone up. Unless you sell your soul to Satan like Tom Brady and eat small children for breakfast.

Super quick question: we still have room for one more coach correct? We got 9/10 assistant coaches correct?

10 assistants

Face it. Tennessee is a god awful program right now. Not a single kid on the nation cares about how good they were 27 years ago. The fact that some of you are so upset that the best player in the state went to Alabama shows how dumb you are.

Just read this Quote from recruit shows why landing an elite QB will be hard for Josh Heupel

Unit should be well coached, no idea on recruiting

I despise Florida and Kentucky.

UK ain’t that bad. But I absolutely loathe Florida, Georgia and Alabama.

I hope everyone that has been involved with TN football for the past 15 years reads that. They should be ashamed of themselves.

There it is.

watching Kensucky and Florida it occurs to me, how slow our team is. Vescovi walks in water.

Barnes owns Kentucky

Lol..

I wish football season was here.

Why does this response not surprise me?


Oh yea, catbone....

I believe Coach Hype has done a really good job on hiring staff on both sides of the ball. I know proof will be next Fall but I really like the staff.

Can’t say that I’ve heard much aboit this guy, but he has experience at a number of high level schools in addition to being a DC previously. Our coordinator experience on the defensive side is crazy.

 

[mikemist]

I think all the coaches on the defensive side of the ball now have DC experience, except for Garner

 

[yourstruly23]

also

Former Georgia assistant uses profanity to describe time in Athens

Looks like Heup found a feisty one that doesn't care for Jeremy either.

Just makes me wonder what happened for him to end up at North Texas? Doesn't make him a bad coach, but seems like a long fall.
