Could the former BCS AD be Hamilton? Hmmm..

Bruin we all know coach Jones is a hell of a recruiter but come on now..if you don't think Thig is an elite recruiter himself & responsible for a lot of our commits, you're wrong.

Don't even know why I'm wasting my time arguing with you.

It's perfectly reasonable to assume that one person has recruited the entire country so successfully all by himself, with only a few interchangeable drones to be physically present in his stead. Heck, my grandma could recruit as well as Thig if she worked for CBJ.

Bruin gonna bruin. Your crazy if you don't think Thigpen is worth every penny that he asks for within reason, which I believe is up to $500k.

Sounds fair to me, along with a 3-4 year contract. Thig's gonna Thig and we need for him to do it at Tennessee.

Like I need more reasons to hate Bama.

But kiffin is a great reason

Glad he didn't take it...Butch>Chucky

 

[BruinVol]

Agree to disagree on thig.

This train keeps going strong if he leaves IMO.

No worries on my end

 

[rockytop25]

I don't think any commits will decommit if he leaves..they've committed to TENNESSEE & Butch Jones..not just Thigpen

When theology 101 is finished with this room please let me know, we had a recruiting discussion for this time.

I'll just close the door and wait till your finished

[VolsDoc81TX]

Who do y'all think was a better prospect out of HS... Malone or North?

Yes

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Absolutely! You cannot ignore smaller problems just because there are bigger ones in the world. If we allow our freedoms in the US to slowly be taken away then we not only lose those rights but we also slowly lose power to influence freedoms abroad.

Losing our US freedom is happening right now

They still haven't called me back but I'm not too upset cause I've really over done it in the debit columns I learned about in accounting. Hope there are still some left in Jan.

Player recruiting rankings are fickle. Lots of washouts on this 2011 RB class rankings.

All this talk of Thigpen and recruiting prowess got me to thinking of former staffs and recruiters.

I thought the 1994 staff was an impressive bunch.

HC - Phillip Fulmer
OC - David Cutcliffe (Duke HC)
DC - Larry Marmie (former Arizona St. HC)
Asst - John Chavis (LSU DC)
Asst - Lovie Smith ( former Chicago Bears HC)
Asst - Dan Brooks (Associate HC - Clemson)
Asst - Steve Marshall (longtime NFL & college OL coach)
Asst - Kippy Brown (Seattle Seahawks WR coach)

Got mine earlier this week. Big bro picked one up for me. Pretty freakin awesome.

 

[Nashvegas31]

OSU is apparently looking at coach Thig to be there new LB coach

What are you talking about? They aren't firing Mike Vrabel anytime soon. Vrabel is a beast

Well worth it. Especially for an old school football nerd.

And if he left why would Thig leave the south to go to Ohio? I don't see that happening.

It's already been said Thig doesn't like to move around and prefers to stay in one spot for awhile. I am confident he loves working for Butch that he will be around for awhile. Butch takes care of his own unlike Dooley.

I don't trust poster drive bus with 200 post count like the guy starting rumor

Maybe his agent made it up to get him a raise. Shoulda said he was goin to Texas so we would believe it. Thig stays, agent goes IMO.

This is exactly why I'm not worried. Coach Z will tell Thigpen about Urbie.

 

[rockytop25]

My bad..there's a defensive opening & they want him for it.

Looked into some OSU sites. Zero mention of looking for a linebacker coach. Vrabel was LB coach but moved to dline to make room for Luke Fickel to be co DC and linebacker coach. Neither guy is leaving program. Withers took James Madison HC job and Meyer is looking for a secondary coach to be co DC. Likely Teryl Austin from ravens who Urban hired at Florida.

Looks like we got a troll on the board starting trouble
