Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLII

[JacketVol]

A parent of a player this week when I told em I just heard JG was a game time decision gave this response. He's out then. Now, here you go.

 

[volfaninpa]

Lol what? Tennessee was projected to be bad by most in the media....

You mean, we weren't ranked 24th in the preseason and predicted to finish 8-4 by many? I thought we were.

 

[LotteryPick]

This was exactly how I saw it. I think they got it wrong, but it was hard to overturn.

Weird play for sure. Sucky way to lose.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Auburn moving the ball well so far.

 

[Rishvol]

I think WM gives us a better chance to score than JG anyway

 

[BDHVOL]

Hes 10x better

Well I’m no math wiz but 10 times 0 is 0. No more Up an comer from the MAC at UT. We have not won an SEC game in over a year. It will only continue until we get an SEC caliber coach.

Based on that one completion he had last week?

Pre season Rankings don't mean anything and aren't a prediction on the year. And just as many if not more projected 6-6 type season. South Carolina got more votes to finish first in the east than we did at SEC media day. I guess you don't remember the whole #Theygonlearn because we were projected to lose to UF and a lot had SoCar and UK as probable losses

 

[OrangenSC]

Butch is leaving no doubt in his departure with McBride starting.

On another note, it stinks that South Carolina is having the season UT was supposed to have.

But they're really not having a good year. The east just stinks so bad it looks like they are.

 

[vol2002]

With a better coach this years team has 8-4 talent against this schedule.

I'm astounded that you think that 😂

 

[unioncityvol]

Butch better coach the game of his life tonight. That ain't happening.

 

[Smokey123]

Not to mention basically everyone predicted Butch to not make it until end of season. Even vegas. You must be getting your years mixed up

 

[85SugarVol]

I with you! I won't be 100% convinced until I see him at the podium either. But I'm not afraid to believe the smoke that's clearly out there if you pay attention. I'd rather spend my time on VN and VQ seeking out the Gruden info and digesting that rather than discussing X's and O's from Mullen's offensive playbook. It's not nearly as exciting. I like to be entertained and if anything the Grumors are entertaining.

Discussing Mullen, Bobo, Brohm or the next pay raises of Patterson and mullet man make me want to drink bleach. No thanks.

Skip the bleach. Crack open a nice Sweetwater Goin' Coastal on this fine fall day.

I have a theory. UT will not be good again until Gary Danielson retires or stops calling SEC games.

I take my football angst out on Gary

We were #25 in the preseason AP poll. We were picked to finish 3rd in the SEC East. The Vegas over/under for the season was 7.5 wins.

We were picked to not be a contender but no one thought we would be this bad. We're now at the point where we are hoping we can get to 5 wins. We are at the point of hoping we can win a game in the SEC rather than being shut out at 0-8.

Nobody in the media predicted we would be THIS bad. Butch Jones has found a way to underachieve even when there were low expectations by most.

 

[Kingston Vol]

I thought we all knew Guarantano was out?

I think I read Richmond didn't travel. Is Kendrick playing? We literally have no chance against their pass rushers if he doesn't.

 

[volfaninpa]

With a better coach this years team has 8-4 talent against this schedule.

And that's my point. Someone understands me.

 

[rekinhavoc]

Butch better coach the game of his life tonight. That ain't happening.

Stalking the sidelines with his fingertips in his arm pits. Occasionally turning red like a toddler crapping his pants.
Yes.

Coaching the game of his life ?
No

They say you only play as good as you look. You could also say you only play as good as you're called. We've been pretty meh since Kesling took over.

I never said Butch didn't underachieve. He said South Carolina is having the season we were supposed to have. That is incorrect. Nearly everyone outside of Vol fans predicted Butch would be fired before the end of the season. That's not nearly what SoCar is doing

 

[butchna]

No one on this planet has made a bigger 180 on this subject than you.

He’s been distracted with the Cade Mays...The Face of Cancer documentary. :cool2:

 

[Vols_14]

Kiffin is a great coach. Almost beat a NC winning Bama team in his first year. Made Crompton into a beast. Won 10 games at USC with 50 scholarship players. In year 1 is turning around a 3-9 team to 1st in the conference. Has learned plunder Pete Carrol and Nick Saban. He’s matured. He can recruit. He’s a great coach. He deserves a 2nd chance. Just contingent on an apology, a massive buyout, and really just making it up to he fans.

Until UGA 2015 we hadn't won a game he called since 2006.
