Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[MrVolton]

Sad but true.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

This is awful.

We go 4-8 and are getting blasted by every good team we play this year and are going to have to scratch and claw to win an SEC game.

Florida goes 4-7 and already has 3 SEC wins including one over a top 5 team.

Cause of course

What’s unique is some of us dearly wanted him at Tennessee. And those folks look pretty smart right about now. Not even bitter sweet. Quite bitter.

That's really not unique.

 

[BruinVol]

On the bright side, losses to West VA and Florida don't look so bad anymore. Florida defense a lot better with Reese and Jefferson in lineup. They change the dynamic of that team and of course our game was their first games back.

One thing I feel very good about. Our dang defense is plenty good enough

 

[nashvol1]

Florida has improved every game and they will gain a whole lot of recruiting momentum this weekend.

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

Hoping video comes out of urbs going down. Will make an epic gif

Florida loss hurts worse for me. We handed them the game. Florida is riding MO big time

Pretty sure he wouldn't be any better at all than what Pruitt has done so far here at UT. And with the antics he has pulled down at UF, we fans would have imploded Knoxville off the map from anger.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Mullen just put the ceiling on Tennessee at 3rd best in this division. Sucks but they’ll roll I’m afraid.

Id be happy with third at this point. Right now we are staring down the barrel of last

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Florida always gets these Ws. Tennessee never

 

[zhangliao04]

Not afraid to say it, I wanted Mullen. But I am 100% behind Pruitt. Love his demeanor and his ability to coach and recruit.

Our offense would not have imploded vs UF with Mehlan

I’ll just have to respectfully agree to disagree. Heck of a win for moose knuckle. We’ll get ours at some point.

Yep if our offense can click we will feel better by end of season

Weve been saying that for years

[Tri-CitiesVol]

I 100% didn’t and still don’t want Mullen. I’d rather take my lumps early with Pruitt than have another damn loser on the sideline.

 

[zhangliao04]

Disagree. Our entire team had a HUGE mental problem. Many of them still do. If Pruitt can't get them out of it then I highly doubt Mullen could.

 

[JCP201]

Luckiest team I've ever seen. Even when they are horrible, they go to the SEC East championship.

UT fans will jump on board with whatever the HC does.

Florida had a mental problem too, especially on offense. Good offensive coaches can hide a lot of problems, our staff hasn’t shown the ability to. Mullen can and has done it

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Weird thing is, their defense impressed me much more than the offense. Given the staff, not what I expected.

And @jakez4ut was right. LSU just looked like LSU. So inconsistent.
Look like us beating GA and losing to Vandy

Don't think I'd be comparing this Mullen led Florida team to the 2016 Vanderbilt Commodores

 

[zhangliao04]

UT fans will jump on board with whatever the HC does.

With the type of HC and antics Butch just pulled for 5 years straight which also pissed off the fanbase (which was only muffled when we were semi-winning)? Doubt it.

 

[engineerVOL]

We need more Pacific Islanders on our team.
