Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Basilio's Blog this morning is hinting at a rumor that Pruitt pulled the play calling duties from Helton in the 3rd quarter and handed them over to Friend ? Any insiders got anything to add on this ?

Good. Dude sucks at play-calling. Any madden player could've done a better job.

 

[Geaux_Vols]

I have the same one. It's awesome what DJI does in such a small package. How far have you flown away from you?

I was standing in the Worlds Fair Park and flew it over to neyland before I started losing signal. I don’t think it’s that far, but all the buildings and fog were interfering. I’ve flown it over the Mississippi River with full line of sight and no interference and must have sent it about a mile away. They say it’s got 4mi if range, but I’ve never tested that.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

I absolutely don't believe that. If that's the case this coaching staff is doomed to failure.

In the past year, his info is seldom wrong. He fell into a good source over there for sure.

Prior to that, very questionable reporting IMO.

Not dismissing it, but that sounds fabricated.

If that’s true then there is trouble brewing.

Random question but is there any coach that “considered” us that makes you believe we’d be better than 2-2? Leach?

I live out in a rural area. I have a friend that lives about 2 miles away (as the crow flys) . He called me one Saturday and asked me about mine as he was thinking about getting one. I told him about it and asked if he wanted to get together the next day to try it out? He said sure but the next day he was too busy. I got the idea to try and fly it over to him.

With a full battery I set out toward his house navigating using the roads below. We live in a very hilly area so the drone was out of sight quickly. It started to lose signal so i kept going higher to improve the signal. I made it all the way to his house. I called him and told him to go outside and look up. I kept decending until my signal was almost gone. Got low enough for him to moon me. Stayed there for a couple of min and increased altitude to get my signal stronger and flew it home. The whole flight was 20 min long. I was so nervous. She made it home with just a little battery to spare. I had to raise my maximum altitude setting to max in order to do this.

And I'm saying criticizing this staff having to deal with these players is stupid. The blame is on the bunch of guy who came to UT to play school not football. I think they were sold on a country club atmosphere, and I believe they resent Pruitt demanding focus on the thing they were brought here to do.

I thought about exactly that when Kahil McKenzie left totally unexpectedly. It makes sense in many different ways.

The thought ran through my head Sunday. I don't think so. I think we have the right guy long term.

I honestly have no idea how more of you guys can't see or acknowledge this. I can't wait to flush these guys out that will not leave..or buy in.

Pics or it didn't happen.

If that's true..then Pruitt has seen enough to know Helton was a miss, and he is doing his job as Head Coach. I wish Fulmer had done this with Clawson..we might have never gotten in this mess to start with.

That was my only screw up, i forgot to hit the record button. I have some cool video though from other flights.

I think there’s reason to believe Mullen would’ve had us 3-1. Not a guarantee though.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I didn't appreciate it. Didn't become a hardcore fan until 2007. Great timing on my part.

Explains a lot about you..

You can’t pull something like that in the 4th game. You just can’t. It doesn’t help anyone.

I’m skeptical of the validity.

Absolute bullcrap

Leach may have torched that Florida defense. Turnovers lost that game. If none of that, then sprinkle some touchdowns, bake at 350 till edges are crispy...

I'm skeptical too, but I don't get the "You just can't, it doesn't help anyone" if you think the guy is horrible at his job.

We were in position to score 35 at least..Without the TOs we probably win, or the game is a close loss.

For me, 4 games in is too early to make any snap judgments. I would expect a head football coach to have the same mentality. He could and may have directed a change in the style of play calling, but not changed personnel duties.

This rumor sounds like something from a bad game of telephone.

 

[chavisut]

Absolute bullcrap

Definitely within reason.
