Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

I agree with the Twitter or some kind of social media questions, as that would allow you to weed through the horrible questioning. NIL involvement would be an excellent idea as well.
If they want to be more modern - offer live chat on a feed. Would be hilarious.

Times have changed. Doing a radio show or podcast with a mailbag is better.

I don't agree with the "driving the brand at small market level." It's not like its generating new fans. The people influenced by Vol Calls are ALREADY local brand loyalists with interest.

Maximize your time and effort to audience. Can you take the same time and effort and put it into a format that generates more engagement and interest? Yes? Do that.
So less local people talking about the Vols is good, got it.

Yeah, I'm not saying Vols Calls needed to stay in it's format, just that there needs to be some sort of direct fan interaction with the coaches &/or players. They've eliminated a lot or all of that. They could've changed it or made something new entirely, but they shouldn't have erased it with no type of replacement.
 
Alienating loyal fans, whether you think they're "cringey" or not, is never a good idea.

The show lasted only about an hour and gave access to 100+ live fans and at least several thousand over the radio. Each one of those fans talked about the show/interaction with a few of their friends. That's at least 15-20k fans talking about the Vols every week as the result of a 1 hour show. That type of interaction helps drive the brand at the small market level and helps fuel interest in the program with the locals.
They definately could have marketed it better. This was taking it out back and shooting it in the head.

I'll hang up and listen

1. Not what I said. Your blatant, lazy, and purposeful misrepresentation of what I said should really dissuade me from continuing, but here goes 2. Ending Vol Calls does not mean less local people will talk about the Vols. That's a totally absurd assumption based on 0 information.

There's still opportunities for direct fan interaction with coaches and players. It's clear you have a personal sentiment with Vol Calls and I hate you're losing something you have an attachment to but imo it's a tad of an overreaction. Times have changed and they're almost certainly going to replace it with similar content.
