Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXXVII

[BigZiti09]

Based on what, JG's first 4 drives? 3 drives Saturday? He's barely played, QB is about finding a rhythm, especially when it's your first time out there. Dormady's first 12 passes he completed 4 too and less yards than JG

Based on all indications from people who have seen practice. Based on what I’ve seen from JG.

Even Jav who brought info about this stuff said the same thing.

Like Nash said above. This girlfriend rumor is all time dumb.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Not a rumor. Its a fact. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not, but the fact that Dormady is the worst QB in the SEC and JG isn't getting a fair chance makes that look worse.

It's not the reason QD is starting like he and other idiots are wanting to cause a stir. It's ridiculous and swain. Should be better than that but he isn't like with the crowder crap

Boom. Swain shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the team after that stunt. Punk @$$ move.

Just like DK wasn't ready by all reports? Just like Dobbs wasn't? Just like Bituli wasn't? The fact is, nobody knows until he plays in a game for more than a few drives, especially with this staff.

I said nothing about Dormady's GF, or implied anything about them either (they're engaged btw)

Everyone wants to talk about his run ability yet he has had several series where he really hasn't been impressive running. He had a good run one time but it wasn't special. Dobbs wasn't ready to start vs bama as a true freshman but you saw instantly his ability to create. JG hasn't showed that in any series. I've seen plenty of QBs as freshman look inconsistent yet instantly show their ability.

 

[govols24]

Also, apparently JAV said that he knows for a fact that Gary Patterson would listen.

He wanted the job really bad when we let go of Fulmer. However, Hamilton thought he was too much like Fulmer and wouldn't excite the fan base. Can you imagine the last 10 years if we had hired him instead of Kiffin?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Swain has went to the basilio school of broadcasting. He just says enough to keep people coming back.

We aren’t going to Atlanta with an interim coach dude. Be real. And they aren’t firing a 3-1 coach or a 3-2 coach for that matter. Not even if some message board poster says there’s some unhappy campers in the locker room.

You’re not thinking rationally. At all.

You don't have a clue what you're talking about Ziti. I'm not saying an interim coach will take us to Atlanta. After Saturday our Atlanta hopes will be over. We need to fire the coach because he won't be here next year anyway. He's done. The sooner he's fired, the sooner the interim can try to salvage the season and keep guys from transferring. There is a mess over there. In spite of your theories about Swain, he's telling the truth.

I agree if you've watched enough football and watched how he has played he is just not there. Even taking starter reps in practice or games wouldn't magically make him all sec right now as people think he would be.
It comes with time and JAV is right if JG was the QB we would probably be 1-3 or 2-2 and the program would be sunk.

 

[BruinVol]

Well done Cowboys!

Mike Hamilton AD equivalent of Herpes

The gift that keeps giving

Would have been about as good of a hire as we could have asked for. Would have had us in contention for a championship of some form pretty much every year IMO

Kids are going to transfer whether an interim takes over or not. They came to play for butch and now with a new regime coming most will see they will not be needed or wanted and would rather leave instead of stick with the dumpster fire

Swain answered a question about it. It is true, not a rumor. Again, the fact that Dormady has been so bad and JG still hasn't gotten a fair chance makes the situation look worse. It may have absolutely nothing to do with it. But it looks bad because of how bad Dormady is playing and with Butch saying all year there is a real competition for the position. Clearly he lied about that.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Boom. Swain shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near the team after that stunt. Punk @$$ move.

His problem is he is stuck in this circle of wanting to be there for the players, wanting to appease fans, coaches and ratings thus he ends up all over the place. One day he has a great interview with finebaum the next he runs with a silly azz rumor to make excuses for the QB that he prefers

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Boom.

 

[Kingston Vol]

We are winning this weekend!!

We very well could. I don't think it will change the fact that we'll have a new coach next season. Either we fire him or he wins enough to go elsewhere. His time as the "caretaker of Tennessee football" is coming to an end and we will be better off for it.

 

[volatil]

Well done Cowboys!

Agreed!

No disrespect to the flag and still demonstrated unity bringing attention to the issue.

Dobbs wasn’t ready. Go back and watch some games in 2013 with him. Or 2014 for that matter.

The other comparisons aren’t relevant because they aren’t Qb’s.

The talk of QD starting because he is dating Jones goddaughter is the dumbest thing since fans thought jumpers dad was buying playing time.

 

[BruinVol]

Agreed!

THats something I am willing to support

Its. Not. A. Rumor.

What'd they do

 

[ob79]

Also, apparently JAV said that he knows for a fact that Gary Patterson would listen.

Only to use it as leverage for another pay day with the Horned Frogs.

Patterson has been sought after for years and declined all offers.

He'd be a GREAT HC her but I think he's there until retirement.

Lol that an interim would salvage anything

I've seen plenty of QBs as freshman look inconsistent yet instantly show their ability.

All his runs have been after he dropped back. No designed runs yet. We have no idea if he can't create yet. Dobbs couldn't create vs North Texas, Ohio, App State. Staff holds back and plays Vanilla vs bad teams, we all know this lol. After all the mistakes we complain about with the staff, now we're supposed to trust them with decisions?

 

[VolGee4]

Not a rumor. Its a fact. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not, but the fact that Dormady is the worst QB in the SEC and JG isn't getting a fair chance makes that look worse.

What's a fact? That QD has a fiancé? Yes. Everything else is pure speculation. Look up what a fact is.

I don't think CBJ would ride out a year on the hot seat by showing favoritism toward his QB. If so, he was going to be out the door regardless of what kind of year we had.

This kind of stuff grows into tall tales when a coach starts getting criticized.
