Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[landscapingvol]

Mullen is at Florida because they spent 6 mil a year to not look like Tn looking for a coach.

Some here are offended by UT spending money for some odd reason

 

[InVOLuntary]

Browns will low key make a serious SB run in the next 3 years if they don’t **** up the coaching hire

So you're saying, no way they make a run at the super bowl.

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

Reallllly disrespectful to my Jets

Sorry Hank. I do like Darnold, but what pieces do they have to go with him? Seems like they're still a loooong way off.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

It's like Mullen is at UF because UT didnt get him.

Or the fans (or we) are the reason Schiano isnt here.

So is the official Narrative that Curry was going Mullen until FL cut line in front of us, and Plan B was Schiano?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

McGill doesn’t see gray.

I hate gray, you got me on that, you guys seem to love the unfathomable, interminable ocean of ambiguity, a thick fog where one can find no bearings to point the way to safe haven...

I despise that. I really do.

Lol same. Offense is bad. OL is garbage, WRs and RB is mediocre.

Defense is nice tho and we got a lot of cap

Yes. And somehow play H was Leach.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Good morning pal!

Good morning bud! Hope you got a good nights rest!

 

[StoVol]

Hank mentioned this a little bit ago

It’s my position that my university isn’t going to do it. I don’t think Mullen is elite. I just don’t. But he’d win a bunch of games and keep us near the top if he’d have come here.
I think there were talks but Tennessee just isn’t going to spend that much for a coach. I don’t know why. We have the money and the fan support. But history tells us what our administration is going to do.

 

[Volator]

Let's not start another tired mullen diatribe today unless we want to do a 2018 year in review thread... (purely the last part is in jest)

 

[volfanCLT]

Mullen is a florida because florida is a more attractive better program

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

Yeah, reality sucks sometimes.

 

[volfanCLT]

If they hire Gregg Williams they are making a huge mistake.

Fools gold. He deserves an interview but they can find a better coach. Gotta keep Kitchens

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

None of you are going to change your mind lol.

Nope

Yep but I am hopeful that is changing

That’s like, man, I was really trying to date Jennifer Aniston but it didn’t work out so plan B is Rosie O’Donnell

 

[SweetasSoda]

Very true and I am one of those in that group. I didn't want Schiano because I think he would have been a disaster so when the outrage began I went along. If the allegations against him are true obviously that's a non starter but we can't know for sure on those but the end result is we dodged a bullet..

Yes, all of this plus it's the fact that we would have never been able to prove that he did not know, and that would have been used against us. The self righteous media would have used it because it was Tennessee. A head coaching job is not a place where you are innocent until proven guilty. It's not a cort of law. Image does matter. The media turned it into we should have hired because we could not prove he was guity....and Meyer vouched for him.

 

[HankHill]

Agree. I think you keep kitchens if you hire a defensive coach.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

My contention is that Mullen has one thing on Pruitt, experience. I think Mullen may have had a better first year at Tennessee due to his experience. I think Pruitt may have a higher, long term ceiling. Next year will tell me a lot. Don't expect huge improvement but if we're getting blown out by Vandy and Missouri, I'll definitely start to question that.

This is a good point, I think I actually agree with this one.

“BREAKING: Tennessee Head Coach Jeremy Pruitt fires Janitor for not making enough excuses for him”

Well played

 

[Volnut]

So is the official Narrative that Curry was going Mullen until FL cut line in front of us, and Plan B was Schiano?

I'm no insider, but that's the way I saw it. Currie was not active at all in the search until after Schiano Sunday.

 

[engineerVOL]

Well. NFL regular season is over and Okie State plays today. Maybe we hear something today.

 

[chavisut]

I despise that. I really do.

You don’t know me one bit.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I disagree. We kept him out because he sucks as a HC and we were tired of being sold a **** sandwich.

I hated it as soon as I heard they were really going to hire him, and I knew nothing about the PSU stuff.
