I didn't want to try to multi-quote everyone on the Sab/247 kerfuffle, but just before Christmas, there was some real contention as Sab had passed off some of their information as his own. At the same time, he said he had a "source" that said we were getting Akers. When Akers chose FSU, some folks were giving him crap about it and source, so he tweets out for anyone to see that his source was Meleik Gray. Gray responded in some way and now seems like a flip to FSU might happen for Gray.

I'm sure some of this may have been posted in the Gray thread. And, I know that everyone considers Sab to be a clown of the highest order, but it's getting to the point now that he's actually potentially detrimental to the program when he interacts with recruits. I guess there's no real way to do it, but when it comes to him on internet/social media, he needs to be shut down in the worst way.

Actually this was honestly my first thought.

Me too. I think it would be great if PM would come to UT is some capacity. Even if it is in a purely administration role. Saban brings guys in all the time as "consultants" and PM would be a great ambassador and recruiting draw. Plus I think he could be a good advisor for Butch.

He messages these guys and asks them for information. He's a creep. Brian Kimbrow did the same thing to him a couple years back.

Sounds like he's a wanna be journalist more than a creep. He likes the attention rabid Vol fans give him because they think he's connected.

I doubt Helfrich spends time at a practice if there is absolutely no interest. Maybe he was there to see Mariota, but he still had to spend several hours of his time viewing practice and talking to coaches.

Yeah that could be mutually beneficial though. Makes him seem in demand and gives him a chance to pick some other coaches' brains a bit.

I'd love to see him in one of those consultant roles.

I worry about his relationship with the university souring if he ever became a coach of some sort here and didn't have the success most expect.

As a consultant, he could spend time watching film, breaking down tendencies, pointing out weak spots in opposing teams, etc without having to bear the burden that coaches get when their teams struggle.

Would he have a Papa Johns box on the table when he does after game interviews?

Can't imagine Azzanni takes kindly to being passed over twice. Bet he hits the road.

Prob a reason he has been passed over twice here and every other OC job he wants. He may want to start considering his path is as a WR coach straight to HC type at a smaller school like Elder. I don't care either way. He is a nice recruiter but you can always find good WR recruiters

Countries are invaded, governments overthrown, and new rulers established, in far less time than it takes Tennessee to hire a single human who can run the AD.

I bet Thailand has another coup before they do it
