Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Wouldn’t surprise me at all if Vandy upsets Kentucky.

Would me

Stanford is down

Case and point.

Stanford is down

Another coach that woudnt win enough here to be exempt from discussions like we are having here

Probably the only place on earth you spend the week following the biggest win in three years, rehashing the most embarrassing moments of the last 10 years

SCVol.... That is all

 

[Brillovol]

It’s official. I have a man crush on Jeremy Pruitt.


That’s my coach.

 

[engineerVOL]

Case and point.

Sums up Dools and Brays relationship right there

 

[MrVolton]

As far as most embarrassing Dooley moment, nothing is worse than letting UK break a 30 year streak with a wide receiver at QB.

Jones’s highs were higher than Dooley’s, but the lows were every bit as low or lower. Jones May have had back to back 9 win seasons, but I doubt he would have ever been able to replicate it. After that last season, the odds of him ever being able to recruit well enough to land a Dobbs, Kamara, and Barnett on the same team again are not good.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

It gives me a really good feeling about Pruitt. Like once he gets things rolling here the team's success won't be teetering on the brink of collapse at every moment. Which is how it felt under Butch in 2016 and even Fulmer to some degree post-2001.

One thing I also liked seeing after the game was a coach who looked like he'd been there before. He wasn't jumping up and down, pumping his fist profusely, crying, etc. In other words, doing what Jones would have probably done. When the girl interviewed him after the game he said something to the gist of "good win for our players, would have liked to have saw us finish better." Nice change.

He won me over last week for sure.

Yeah something is off with Stanford this year.

Things that have been a staple for them (OL play, defense) are uncharacteristically weak. Be interesting to see if it becomes a trend into next year.

Only so much to say. I think Deandre Johnson is going to step up in a big way for Kongbo

Hope so. Looked like it was starting to click for Kongbo against Auburn. Hopefully it's clicks faster for DJ

 

[Chief Vol 13]

I will forever believe, and am very likely correct, that he took that position to screw over UT admin and make them pay as much of his buyout as possible--while also going to one of their greatest rivals.

Butch has an over inflated opinion of himself. It makes me kind of happy to see the Bama fan base and players make fun of him. He's not nearly as respected as he thinks he is...

I have a strong dislike for Jones, in case nobody has noticed. Something about arrogant, lying, people who have over inflated opinions of themselves just rubs me the wrong way.

We’re learning to fight in here too. I think we’ll learn slower than the team. (Which is a good thing!)

Looks like it was when he came in the AU game. He was playing really well and that 4th down sack by him was such a great play

 

[Chief Vol 13]

I don’t necessarily think firing Lawson was so much of a big deal. He was solid but the problem was who you “hired next”. The dude is working at a high school in like Iowa now.

Good ol Mike Szyrzen or however you spell it. You'd have to be a complete fool ass to make a move like that prior to that season.

 

[volatil]

No Chryst

Heathens

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Mizzou 2013 and Ole Miss 2014 were epic beatdowns as well. Looking back those were probably red flags. We weren't even remotely competitive.

2013 Oregon was one hell of a good time

Go drink a beer...tea...whatever the hell that was!

 

[DD4ME]

I don't Understand why we don't at least attempt a QB sneak when it's less than a yard. I know JG isn't the biggest QB but good grief QB sneaks are rarely stopped

I don't understand why we don't have JG doing some designed runs. He is more capable we just don't use it. He had a good one against AU for first down. Roll him out for passes more too.

 

[volfanCLT]

J Rich balling out again tonight

Looks primed for a massive year

 

[Aesius]

It's absurd that some of those games were scheduled.

 

[DD4ME]

Nobody on Bama's schedule knows the team better than Pruitt right now. Pruitt may be walking into a gun fight with a cell-made shank, but he at least knows the weak points if he can work it in close.

No idea why I liked a prison shank reference but if it ends in a crimson Tide it can't be all bad.
