Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Huh? DeBord was pretty good.

Comparatively right now, I guess.

 

[zhangliao04]

Needs to be suspended and for a while.

How much you wanna bet nothing will happen?

 

[InVOLuntary]

I don't know how much of that was debord and how much was Josh Dobbs.

 

[omghulkhands]

I’ll take that bet

Let’s say fans turn on Pruitt and “hold him accountable” along with the OC. Let’s say we can him in 3 years.

Who the heck wants to coach here?

Wasn’t that the enduring lesson of the 2017 coaching search? Nobody wants the job?

Let’s give all these coaches time and lots of it. This job will NEVER be a quick fix no matter who we get as coach.

Tried to sleep but couldn't


This is a good post. Like it or not we need to stay behind Pruitt. I see red flags galore with his team being unprepared in all 4 games but the fact of the matter it we have to have him grow on the job. If not this program is in trouble and so is fulmer

Fastest way to success is being rid of all butch players

 

[mr.checkerboards]

You have to spend money. The reason no one wants to coach here is because we don't spend money.

I agree with this

I agree, with some. There are a few I think are the type we need. Problem though it's difficult to totally flip a roster in a couple of years.

 

[Brillovol]

Nothing to do but give Pruitt a couple years to try to turn it around. Hope that he can have the same trajectory as rick Barnes

I’m here too. Lots of similarities. I recall Barnes letting the guys play the way they wanted to play, let them lose the game, then used that teach them it was better to play his way.

It’s gonna take a while with this bunch though. Basketball’s easier to turn around than football.

Much easier to sacrifice a basketball game to prove a point than a football game, but at this point who gives a chief?

 

[reVOLution33]

GBO, this place is getting PACKED. Good vibe down on the field. Players seem relaxed too

Maybe a little too relaxed!!!

 

[zhangliao04]

We shall see. I've seen the SEC bend over backwards for UF. NCAA won't get involved because they don't give a rats behind.

 

[Catbone]

Banks, Calloway, Smith, Jennings, Chandler, and our freshman class are the only players id want on my team.

 

[vol2002]

Pruitt could walk in to the room with the recruits and say “every one of you will start here as a freshman” and not be lying.

Now that’s for sure. I don’t think this is necessarily bad for recruiting. Just not good.

 

[LargePairOfVols]

I agree with this

We should be prepared to spend $12MM/yr. We can’t afford not to.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

3-9..Worst team in UT history. I have never felt so completely hopeless about a team...I know people don't wanna hear it, so I'm out for awhile..I hope it gets better someday.

I would add Bituli and Alexis Johnson to that list

 

[BigOrangeVols]

Not the players

Until fans stop showing up unfortunately they wont

Hang around. People are delirious.

There’s a lot more games for one thing. Football just such a hard sport. Takes a ton of work and preparation and then you only get 12 games guaranteed each year. And a week off between each one so the losses fester and look worse over time as everyone over analyzes them.

 

[Brillovol]

I sure don’t anymore. We have a few more games coming up with nothing to lose anyway. Heck, throw in the rest of the year to prove the point.

 

[IH8TheHaslams]

We are going to lose Wanya aren't we?

 

[vol2002]

I don’t think we could attract someone here that would be worth that much. We need to give the guy we have 5 years guaranteed. Follow the Kentucky model. ...That’s who we are after all, and who we have been for a long time now...
