Recruiting Forum Football Talk LI

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Arkansas, from what I hear, is willing to pony up. Venables may be the first 1.5 million dollar dc.

Everyone wants to win except UT

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

"They" are wrong. Morris is a great coach, particularly if he can find a good DC.

They need to contact Steele.

 

[omghulkhands]

Because a handful of people say something repeatedly doesn’t mean it’s a large percentage of fans, just means they’re vocal.

Pretty sure it was just SeniorDrill and his 35 alt accounts

 

[BruinVol]

Tifwiw hearing Charlie Anderson pushing hard for Pruitt. He has huge pull with Fulmer

 

[WhitewaterVol]

They need to contact Steele.

Agreed.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

I think we just got said no to a bunch.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Remember not that long ago, everyone saying Fulmer was set in his ways and will never change? We have to fire him because the game has passed him by and he won’t hire coaches who will outshine him.

Well it looks like those years out of the game didn’t change him. It’s the good ole boy network all over again.

He almost completely tarnished his career in the end. If he hires Steele and we are awful, I’m afraid Phil will have lost all of his TN NC luster.

Nope

Would be a good hire.

Push his ass with a bulldozer.

I'm sad, my bros.

Me too. I keep thinking about Ulysses because of everything that's gone on in his personal life this year, and older people like LWS or my dad, people for which Tennessee football was supposed to be a fun outlet, an escape, and recognizing that it will never again be like what it was.

It all feels so hopeless. And I know it's just a game at the end of the day, and that life will go on, but I feel like such a fool for spending so much of my life invested in this program and hoping that one day we'd turn the corner and things would get better. The emotional investment has not been worth the return, to say the very least.

 

[Rishvol]

Would be a good hire.

Meh. Better than Steele though

 

[vol2002]

I think we just got said no to a bunch.

This was my fear all along. UGA and Bama in the playoff. Florida got better. Our fans expect excellence. We have chewed up coaches for several cycles now. Job is toxic.

Best quick fix is ending the Bama series. Makes us much more competitive.

Maybe he can talk Fulmer out of this horrible choice.

 

[Catbone]

Didn't Pruitt say he could bring in an elite staff

 

[butchna]

Boycott everything until we show a true commitment to winning. I will lose my mind if we hire Steele

Basketball team has shown a huge “commitment to winning”. Quit being a football dummy.

 

[csprig9]

Would be a good hire.

Anything is better then steele

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Do y'all grasp how amazing it is that the choices of our two ADs in this search (we've had two ADs in the same search!) are people no other program was even considering hiring?

 

[highspeed]

Damn. Now I feel even worse. I think I'm gonna go eat 3 whole boxes of macaroni and cheese and read a romance novel.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Please hire Pruitt. Please!

 

[jordan4vols]

At this point we need to pray for Pruitt. I’ll start a hashtag #P4P

 

[InVOLuntary]

Over/under how many years before Tennessee legitimately challenges for the east?

I say 6.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Please hire Pruitt. Please!

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

I'm on the shady Pruitt train.

 

[drylo]

Tifwiw hearing Charlie Anderson pushing hard for Pruitt. He has huge pull with Fulmer

OK, fine. I’m in.

Just make Bama pay us a lot of coin when they come back for him in a couple years.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Kevin Steele..

Let's ride.

It won't start..
