Recruiting Forum Football Talk LII

If bama keeps Tosh, then we hire Sherrer or vice versa. I like it.

That Herm Edwards press conference was a joke. It sounded like he didn't even know they were the Sun Devils lol

He missed his calling in the pulpit

 

[jave36]

Good Lord what a staff.

If we get Hobby I'll feel a lot better about Pruitt than I do now.

 

[highspeed]

Didn't know much about Helton really so I started reading up on him.

Here's a article from his time at WKU. Talks about his being a great motivator and working with Brohm.

Cannot wait til Friend gets to work with Trey Smith.

Just love when the BIG UGLIES get some COACHING

Tyson Helton at Southern Cal for OC

Sorry if already addressed --- I've been out of touch this morning...

Isn't this a slap in the face of Tee Martin considering they coach at the same school? Or did Tee turn down the OC role?

Why don't you now?

VQ said Friend and Pruitt are best friends. I wonder if we will go with Co-OC’s.

You really need to read this one guys

Calm down. Really. I was talking to BCarter.

For once, I moved around both the FF and RF during the coaching search. A lot of us choose to stay here in our own RF bubble (myself included). It was refreshing to see how the other half perceived the search/hire.

What I described in my previous post is real. I'm not defending any "freedom fighters" (sounds a little dramatic, no?). All I'm saying is that faction of the fanbase and the power of social media drove the bus of change. Many many people were ok to complain and moan --- but sit back and let it happen.

There were some suspicious posters (Volfan1707, PeytonManningwoo) crying for Schiano, everywhere else I saw solidarity! I Tweeted the AD, President, Beverly et al. Jumped on multiple scathing articles about our fanbase and stated how proud I was at OUR fanbase. I wear my Vols gear even more to invite comments. Your post read like a calling out and I felt like it was off-base. If you intended otherwise, apologies but post better! :hi:

Imo he gets a title more than Ol coach. He makes too much at CSU to come without a title

Maybe something like OL/AHC?

Run game/Pass game coordinators?

Also, would be cool to have a best friend named "Friend."

In my opinion, it was HC or bust for Tee.

Didn't he also work with Butch at Cincinnati?

 

[31VFL]

Run game/Pass game coordinators?

Yeah. With Friend making over $500,000 at CSU I am assuming he wouldn’t just take a pay cut to be OL Coach here even if he and Pruitt are close.

Will Friend supposedly already on the way.

Needs to call Cade ASAP

 

[JCP201]

You can "lol" all you want but he's right. If the rest of the fanbase had the complacency of the people in the RF, Schiano would be our coach. It's easy to laugh at that portion of the fanbase with a snarky arrogance. It took an active uprising and social media to initiate that coup. VN, VQ, and other forums were crucial to that movement.

I'm not saying there aren't some delusional people in the Gruden threads. I'm just saying the ground swell created by that portion of the fanbase got important people involved --- including state lawmakers. If you don't think that's true, you're not paying attention.

Recruiting forum was outraged too. Nobody wanted that mess.

Why did Rocker get fired from Ga?

That has been the question a lot of people has asked about rocker. There were rumors he got into it with a recruits mom, or he missed on Solomon and another big recruit last year and Kirby had enough of losing recruits. It's really a big mystery

Why did Rocker get fired from Ga?

I can't find any solid reasons why Rocker was fired. Just some message board guesses, and none of those seems terribly sure.

 

[JAllen18]

That soft D-line we had this year will be gone.

 

[appyvol]

Messed that up.

 

[bignewt]

Going to be Oline coach

Hey Cade come to UT you'll have a Friend!
