Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXIX

[VolsnCards5]

I know an available national title winning head coach who was a hell of a recruiter in his time. He also was pretty good at hiring assistants.

 

[Orange Studs]

Who is the third string OL and how many snaps has he had to play because of injuries and not because other OL just aren't playing well?

I believe he is referring to Tatum when we didn't have any more OL to go in against Bama.

 

[Orange Studs]

I've seen Butch say too many things that were obviously false. I don't care what he says but don't feed me sh!t and tell me it's filet mignon.

You want to believe Hurd's story believe it. I just posted what he said not trying to feed anyone anythng.

 

[BruinVol]

Someone yelled just before the feed was pulled

"any coordinator changes"

No they didnt. They were announcing cordinators were available to the media. That was the SID

 

[volfanCLT]

Muschamp is Butch's daddy. How sad is that?

Lol can you say a worse thing about a college coach? I can't think of one

SIAP

Jalen Hurd quitting Tennessee is everything wrong with college football

 

[jordan4vols]

So what happens if Tennessee tech is the only win the rest of the season? What changes happen then?

Butch is also 0-1 against Derek Dooley.

That's just salt in the wound.

I don't believe Hurds story either. I believe it's something between the two. I'm not disappointed that Hurd is leaving. I think the way he's been playing we have better options. I'm disappointed in how this was handled by both parties. No one wins here in the way this played out.

 

[JCP201]

When are we hiring the new AD? I don't like the lame duck thing.

 

[Aesius]

This is what some people believe he'll do after next season. His ego is so large, and he's so totally invested in his system, that he would rather leave on his own terms than be fired. Control freaks can't stand letting others control their destiny. He could win championships in a less competitive conference and some programs are paying big $ to get name coaches. The next AD won't be as hands-off as Hart, and he won't like that.

Butch leaving at the end of the season means he still controls the narrative and his coaching destiny, even if it means going to a lower-tier program with less pressure and lower expectations. UT would come off poorly if he left and he would come out smelling like a rose, especially with a 10-3 or even 9-4 season.

Hurd is the 12th player to exit the program from the 2014 class

 

[LA Vol]

Hurd hasn't told his story publicly.

 

[jave36]

I believe he is referring to Tatum when we didn't have any more OL to go in against Bama.

And he played minimal meaningful snaps in a game that was already lost. So if we throw that game out, we haven't been playing a 3rd string OL and our offense has still been horrific.

I was talking about Butch feeding the sh!t, not you.

Who are you talking about. I suspect Miles, but his loyalty to his horribly chosen OC was his downfall.

It's not going to happen. The Wisconsin coach is one of the few I've ever heard of who quit a year or two before they might get fired. Butch is arrogant enough to believe what he's doing is the right way to do things, and he doesn't believe for a second he'll have a bad year next year, so getting fired isn't a possibility to him.

For the sake of his NFL future it needs to stay that way.

Well this eliminates Les Miles

Who we talking about?

Fulmer....and I was joking

Well we burned a redshirt a week ago off the top of my head.

We also lost our returning RT for the first month or so. Against bama we were trotting out a scout team by the end of it.

Thomas has been playing hurt from day 1. Jack Jones had surgery.

Our 5* starting tailback decided he was gonna put himself ahead of the team and ride pine during UGA, Texas AM and USC.

This offense has issues, no doubt, and most of them stem from O line play. Injuries there haven't helped.

 

[Catbone]

10-3 in year 4 after taking over a team that got throttled by Vandy would be a success especially after the amount of injuries we have seen this year.

Some on this board need a reality check.

Fair enough (even though winning out is very unlikely because our offense is awful)... But why aren't you concerned with the internal of the program? Clearly something is very wrong

 

[volfanCLT]

Fulmer....and I was joking

Ahhhhh lol

Over my head

Wow.. That is brutal. He didn't have much longer. Should have stuck it out, if this is any indication. (and I believe it is)

Butch is arrogant enough to believe what he's doing is the right way to do things, and he doesn't believe for a second he'll have a bad year next year, so getting fired isn't a possibility to him.

A new AD coming in changes the complexion of the situation though. Hart has probably made it clear that he only expects a competitive football team. Blackburn or whoever the new guy is may put Butch on a short one-year leash with the expectation of winning the East or hitting the road.

Getting fired is pretty damaging for a career. No way Cuonzo ends up at Cal if he gets fired from Tennessee first.

Also, he wouldn't be quitting. He would be taking another job. There are plenty of lower-tier programs that would gladly take Butch.
