Recruiting Forum Football Talk L (50)

Kiffin hasn’t grown up at all lol. Unless you’re specifically talking about coaching

I’m joking. I hate kiffin.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

If you tell Les that Tee is your assistant HC and OC and Chavis is your DC, and you get to fill out the rest, he’d jump all over it.

Steele over Chavis sounds better.

 

[awaitingawin]

It didn't say he was going to choose them. It said he would use his connections to try and help get them. Was there more to that article that I didn't see, or are people already trying to fill in blanks that aren't there?

Best to let the Head Coach hire who he likes...I thought that is why we blamed the AD's all the time...we always complained the coaches failed because they were not given enough money to get their own man...its bad ju ju to start with....

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I think Fulmer wants Tee here. You know the former players are in his ear telling hi that also. He'll try to get Tee as a part of this staff if not the head coach imo. Les may be the best way to do that.

 

[Smokey123]

Tee Martin solves the QB recruiting and development. Not to mention we already have Penix and Martinez coming in with JG already here.

Tee has never been a QB coach at a high level. It was with some small school and HS nearly 10 years ago

 

[Ron Swanson]

Gus announced new coach yet?

 

[VolSummitt44]

Being fired on a public stage and having a year to ponder on it typically provides a new vision I would assume.

Second chances are typically met with a renewed drive and better understanding on what caused previous failures.

If we were going down that road I would rather hire Fulmer. I don't want to take that chance with our program after 10 years of the worst Tennessee football I've ever seen in my life. Yea he might have a new vision and double his efforts or he might be like Butch and say "I know this will work." Not worth the risk in my opinion.

I see, I was about to say he constantly shows up late to meetings and is seen all the time hanging out with college girls😂

 

[VolSummitt44]

I’m joking. I hate kiffin.

For the record I knew you were. I just never turn down the chance to say fk Kiffin.

 

[Hammer85]

I just want to say, there are some extremely whiney ass *****es in here. Thats all

 

[DD4ME]

I get the concerns of Les but he would be the most accomplished coach in the east by "Miles". 😁

3 conference titles
2 NC appearances
1 NC
In last ten years his worst season was 8 wins.

 

[LaagerVol]

It's fine. It might work out well. Maybe a fresh start would do him well. I'll support it if he's the guy. Especially if Tee is on staff. But LSU fans sounded a whole lot like we did his last couple years. That's all I'm saying.

He may be perfect to bridge us to the Tee era tho. Hopefully that's really the plan if he's hired. If we hire Cam Cameron to run the offense I'm gonna be mad.

You don’t have to think he is great, that’s a perfectly reasonable opinion. Saying he is the same as Butch is ..... I’m trying to find a way to put this nicely....... insane.

 

[JacketVol]

Would VN accept Les Miles without Tee as OC.

I don’t see Tee leaving for another OC spot. Jmo.

Tell Phillip I said no.

 

[engineerVOL]

Big Ten CG turf prep guy needs to take a lap.

 

[AAVFL]

With teams finished with the regular season it's like NSD. Fulmer needs to move and move fast I would bet we start to here some movement tomorrow.

Don’t think so

That's what I'm talking about though. He didn't say he was choosing. Unless I misread, or there is more that I didn't see. He said he would use his connections to help get assistants. Maybe I'm just a moron, but I took it for what it read as to me. Help get the assistants that the HC wants.

Like I said earlier...Time will tell my friend. Time will tell.

See my post to Nick. IF in fact Phil was to choose Les, it’s to groom Tee and long term stability for the program for long term success with Tee.

Someone that is 350 lbs doesn’t get healthy overnight. There aren’t any shortcuts.

Tee is the future of this program but he isn’t ready. Big picture hire not immediate satisfaction.

Again, this is all predicted that they chose Les.

He's one of the new ignore posters

Maybe, maybe not. If not, you can't force that kind of thing.

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

Anybody remember why Les Miles was let go? He was to stubborn to evolve his offense. Sound familiar?

He wouldn't have to worry about offense because Tee would be handling that. Miles is a great coach good lord people- he's a champion and a great recruiter. Put tons of guys into the NFL. Players loved him- sounds worlds better than anything we've had the last few years. Bring Tee and Steele as coordinators as well as a rock star pool of assistants would be wonderful!

 

[alphavols]

So basically Fulmer is planning on doing head coach duties such as picking assistants and such. Just great. Guess we can forget about the candidate pool widening.

Forget about any high profile innovative coach. Fulmer going to get a conservative good ole boy, help him coach em up and work like heck.

That would be an absolute 3 headed monster in recruiting. Keep coach G and you have 4 of the best recruiters in college football. Huge!

Oldman? We're getting commissioner Gordon?
