Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[bpvol]

The fact that it’s coming out now makes me believe he’s already accepted it. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be hearing anything at this point from either side. The timing just doesn’t make sense considering they met 2 weeks ago

They wanted to limit questions during recruiting and before Oklahoma State's bowl game. Will probably "break" during New Year's Day.

Quitter

Wharton never quit anything, your thinking of Jalen and Preston. He finished the season and gave his all for TN. #GOVOLS

Confused.... Where are we with Yurcich based on the article? Putting out feelers or offered a contract because he has accepted?

Too much smoke to not be at least feelers and he was interviewed per VQ. Now if you assume Mathews was correct, he was the 95%, just pending ESD, and bowl game. Now what constituted 95%, maybe it was LOI and not a contract...thus we could have someone else out recruiting in absence of an OC. Now I think if this is the case, Yurcich could opt out and go with tOSU.

But some were posting that if they were saying we offered then he had to accepted then someone else said it just meant we were putting out feelers. I don't have a clue which could possibly be true.

I think what is being said is he has been offered the job, but they won't go through the trouble of offering a contract unless he has said he wants the job

SIAP Has Jennings made a decision to stay or go?

 

[BruinVol]

Is Mariota confirmed out?

McNair would have played. Marcus is soft.

Unless that article is wrong, that’s exactly what happened.

People are assuming that he has accepted our offer because we’ve heard nothing else about the search since he became the #1 candidate.

We’ll see if that’s right or wrong. It seems pretty evenly split to me in regards to possibilities - either he’s accepted and we’re waiting til after the bowl game, or he told us to wait and we’re going to have to compete with Ohio State and Okie State for his services once the season is over.

 

[LionPride]

Why just up and leave with only a few more days to go? Seems bizarre.

Cause their Offense sucks ass

 

[barrylee]

Nobody can take a statement and spin a negative narrative like you bru.

Catbone??

 

[Rishvol]

Is Mariota confirmed out?

I haven't seen anything official

Headline should have said "choose not to play in bowl game" not quit. But after seeing that Cheese bowl, I think Vic had a touch of the Nostradamus.

 

[eVOLve]

Is Mariota confirmed out?

 

[SweetasSoda]

Exactly. No one gets offered a contract until they have accepted.

This is where I got confused. So he has been offered the job, but not a contract? And even if he did sign a LOI he can pull out of that if he would rather go to OSU? ....should have went on to law school.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Is Mariota confirmed out?

Mort says he isn’t expected to play but will test it in pregame.

SIAP Has Jennings made a decision to stay or go?

I haven't seen his name in the transfer transporter portal or the NFL draft transporter portal. Until then he's a Vol.

I think yer mixing 2 conversation's. Some of that was about chip Kelly last year.

I do the 2-1-2 method. I like a little tug on my ribs.

I should have rephrased my wording “fall off bone”. It’s more tender then falling off, it gets that wonderful seasoning/sauce cooked into the meat.

 

[eVOLve]

Lol... so he's gonna test it pregame? Surely the possibility of permanent damage will be gone by then.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Coaches don't sign a LOI, they sign a MOU. Then in about three or four years we sign an IOU.

 

[utvolmaniac]

If Yurcich is signed, sealed, and (almost) delivered; that fits with DM's 95% comment.

The 5% is Okie St. getting through the Liberty Bowl and then announcing the hire.

Yurcich likely wanted to get Bowl game without the distraction. Look at what happened to Houston when it was apparent the Kendal Briles was leaving. The team rolled over and played dead. Briles was announced as FSU's OC the next day. It wasn't a big secret.

There are a lot more question marks with Yurcich given the way things have been handled. Only a bunch if Internet speculation.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Now this is truth.

I have an electric smoker. For some reason I have a difficult time with a good bark. The bark comes out mushy if I'm not careful. If I foil it for 2 hours the bark will remain mushy and soggy, thus the 1 our foil and 2 hours afterwards.

Thanks Guys

Is Mariota confirmed out?

Yes. Maybe confirmed is not the correct term but NFL reporters who typically know the list of players being out are stating he’s out.
