Recruiting Forum Football Talk L (50)

[Vol8188]

You're going to boycott UT because they didn't hire Mike Leach?

Not what I said. But Steele? Absolutely. Possibly others. If we keep supporting and bringing in the money, nothing will change. We will get Dooley after Dooley

“Per sources with direct knowledge of the proceedings, Fulmer’s next round of talks is set to include, but not be limited to, Washington’s Chris Petersen and Alabama defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt.”

-Brice

How do you honestly go from interviewing Chris Petersen to Jeremy Pruitt? Either Brice doesn't know anything or we don't know what were doing anymore.

Not getting my hopes up for that again. Happy for Venables or Morris, refuse to believe we have a shot at Petersen

 

[Nashvegas31]

Smh. Wish someone besides Brice was mentioning Petersen.

Brice looking for attention IMO.

247 mentioned him when Fulmer initially was hired as AD but then hasn't said anything about him since

Probably both

 

[Aesius]

Can you read? He plainly said "When they trot out some horrible hire"..🤓

I told him y'all would start coming after him.

He was replying to a post about Mike Leach and is a prime Leach worshiper. Anyone not named Mike Leach is probably a horrible hire to him at this point.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

Here are a couple quotes from Jimmys show today. Strange stuff.




" I do not believe Kevin Steele has been interviewed by PF since PF has been named AD."

"I do not believe PF has interviewed Morris as some have reported."

"One name that would be a good fit is Mack Brown and could receive an Interview from PF.'

"I just received a text from David Cutcliffe stating he is in no way involved in the UT coaching search process in any way as a candidate."

Last one wasn't strange, but those first three. Yikes.

 

[Z06VolinWV]

As long as we're talking about dinosaur coaches, how about Lou Holtz and Bowden? Should at least get a call to gauge interest...

 

[jordan4vols]

Maybe Peterson is where LWS kept getting his info from Fulmer. One can dream anyway

 

[Aesius]

Fulmer is interviewing Petersen because he actually has a chance to interview him. Other top coaches are turning the job down without even meeting with Fulmer (or Currie). Petersen might be one of the only guys to say "yeah, I might be interested." You don't just stop interviewing "lesser" candidates because a top guy agreed to an interview.

I hope nobody gets their hopes up for Chris Petersen. You are not interviewing Kevin Steele, Mel Tucker, Les Miles, Chad Morris, or Jeremy Pruitt if Chris Petersen has interest.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I spoke too soon....if he pulls Petersen...o my

Umm..yeah...If he were to get Petersen, I would start promoting him for sainthood...that would be a bona fide miracle.

We have absolutely no idea what we are doing.

PF - “Hey Chris, Phil here. We would really love you to consider being the coach at the University of Tennessee”

CP - “Not real interested Phil, I have a pretty good setup here at Washington. Thanks for the offer”

PF - “I thought you might say that, I went ahead and got you a Christmas present anyways Chris, look out your front window. I hope you’ll reconsider”

CP - “Rockyyy top you’ll always be....”

 

[kohlrums]

You don't hire Mack Brown over Les Miles. I think Les isn't passing vetting or is just horrible at selling himself at this point.

You don't hire Mack Brown period.

 

[volswillrise12]

I'm not going to go all out on a belief we'll land Chris Petersen. He's a west coast guy period. I remember a few local writers were asked and said in not so many words "no way in hell" You have to take a shot though---it might just be a mutual respect for Phil.

-Brice

If this is true. To be honest I don’t want to know. I am sick of getting all excited about a big name. (There have been plenty) and then sink deeper into the depths of depression over this shiz.

Of course my a$$ could also just stop checking twitter or this stupid site until a coach is hired, but obviously that isn’t happening either.

Yes you are.

One is not like the other....Thats for sure.

 

[Vol4ever]

Just cant see pereson wanting the job at this point. If we were a good team and oranization maybe.

 

[BigZiti09]

247 mentioned him when Fulmer initially was hired as AD but then hasn't said anything about him since

When VQ starts mentioning him then its worth noting.

247 and RTI try to find ways to put big names in their articles. Click hounds.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Yep and now we want that undone the second steele is hired. We can't have it both ways

Who wants it undone? Not me. I also don't want a crap hire shoved down my throat when there are obvious better choices than some of the names being speculated on.

Love it. Sure hope that's Phil's response

 

[govols24]

Grant Ramey and Brice are close and most likely share sources. I don’t understand the Brice hate on here. He’s a stand up guy and has been right more than anyone in this market.

1. Petersen (Too good for us)

2. Sumlin (Too good for us)

3. Taggart (Too good for us)

4. Brohm (Botched)

5. Leach (Botched)

6. Marrone (Doubt Fulmer wants him)

7. Miles (Washed out but great resume)

8. Morris (Meh)

9. Venables (Could be future star, unproven)

10. Tee (Could be future star, unproven)

11. Brown (GTFO)

12. Steele (GTFO)

In that order
