'18 TN OL/DL Cade Mays (Transfer)

I'd bet on us having a new coach by the 1st of December. Don't let guys OV for LSU or Vandy games. Make them come to town in December before the early signing day.

Yep, that's what to do. UT needs to optimize a tight timeline and have recruits spend time with incoming, not outgoing, personnel. Communicate a positive plan.

And for heaven's sake, get rid of all those Butch posters and lifesize cutouts. The grocery stores dumpstered them a month ago. UT should, too.
 
There is pros and cons to waiting till the end but one of the cons is there won't be an opportunity to get the recruits on campus for a game and promise them a better tomorrow, a better Tn. With them coming to the Vandy game, they can't make those promises with a sitting coach.

If it is Gruden and they have to wait till after Vandy game then you wait and don't worry about recruits. If it is a sitting coach then you can't have that coach at the Vandy game so you have to wait. It just is what it is.

I don't see any scenario where the University actively speeds up the firing of or hiring of another head coach because of one decommittment.
 
Someone I know that says he's got inside sources (yes plural) in the Clemson football program, told me that CM has already committed to Clemson and they will hold off with an announcement. Not sure if I believe him because he knows I am a UT man, but he insisted his info is correct. I hope not.:banghead2::banghead2:

Not that he couldn’t eventually go to Clemson but him already committing is doubtful.

I'm hearing it's Fulmer that is the reason they aren't firing Butch during the season, Phil is adamant he was done wrong by being fired mid season and since Currie was part of that, he is taking heed to that from Fulmer.

Show in my post where I put the kid down.

Did I say you? I said when ppl put down and dog a kid because of a liar coach who makes **** up and fans turn on the kids ala Jalen, P. Will, Wharton, Ryan J, Ferg, every kid who has quit because of this dumb used car salesman HC. Never once said you said this in a post.

Heard the same from ppl in the know in TN.
 
I don't hate the Vols I hate incompetence from the Admin to the football program. They keep hiring idiots who come in and make a mockery of a once prestigious school and program. I hate a liar who spreader rumors and told boosters lies on an organization that no other school in the country has a problem with. A coach who throws anyone under the bus and mistreat players and staff members like 💩. Can't stand when ppl put down the kids over a liar who makes dead end promises and will throw his mother under the bus if it makes himself look good. No coach here has done the minor league things Lyle Jones has done, and yes I hate what's going on because he's fooled so many for so long that many felt everyone from Swain, Deuce White, NPA, JJ McClesky, etc were against the program but weren't and just saw thru the smoke. Sorry if that's how you see it but hey all I said came to light in various ways.

Just curious de1, why did you have their pictures up as your profile pic if you hated all that is Lyle Jones that much?
 
I feel likke Im on a train going 90 miles an hour around a steep curve on a mountain and the conductor is drunk. WTH are they doing down there? Are they satisfied with 10 more years of mediocrity and recruiting classes barely in the top 40?

You quoted my post there, buckaroo.

Makes since. That is where all the high rated Knoxville boys go now.
 
Read on TOS that Butch took a shot a Cade on Twitter yesterday. Hadn't seen what it actually was. Anyone know what he tweeted?

He said something about recruits that had been committed for 2 years need to look at 4 year window like Trey Smith
 
Here's CBJ's quote, a direct response to a line of questioning about recruiting and Cade decommitting:

"Every individual has a different set of circumstances that they’re looking for. Look at Trey Smith. Trey Smith wanted that challenge of helping us get Tennessee football back to a very very high level. He wanted that challenge. Each individual is different.”

Meh.. that doesn't sound as bad then. I thought it was something on Twitter.

CBJ knows Cade well, so I'm thinking it was a misguided attempt to challenge Cade. It's the sort of thing he does that usually goes badly for him. Or maybe I'm wrong and he totally meant it as a dig.
