Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

For the love of Neyland bring the Ice Age to Knoxville.

Not to be dramatic but this might be the biggest coaching hire in UT history. If we screw this up Pruitt will probably be Muschamp @ UF. 3/4 more years of 5 and 6 wins and another fired coach and recruiting will become much much harder for the new coach. Will be tough to dig outta that hole

 

[InVOLuntary]

It also can bring unwanted media attention, give the ncaa a reason to start watching us a little closer, and the whole SEC ban or whatever.

All of the above. I'd love for freeze to be named OC tomorrow but there are risk that come with it.

I also think that he would already be ruled out by now if there was no mutual interest too.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

No, I think he knew what his role was at SC and at WKU. Rolled the dice.

JP is not a stupid football man...How did they get this one over on him?

 

[JacketVol]

Did the coaches or players get the trophy from the auburn and Kentucky games? Asking for a friend.

I actually think they all did well. When the breaks went our way, it carried over. Plus 3 turnovers helped in Auburn and once we hit the Hail Mary in Kentucky game, we had the MO and team was ready to go. Once they got down, they laid down. It takes 11. When things went bad, had a few that rolled over. The overall mental makeup of this team was poor. The coaches made mistakes too but still think this staff wins Eadt if they were coaching in 15 and 16.

Price said he doesn’t even think friend wants the job

Interesting

 

[Ashevolle]

You don't think those opposing coaches break out Freeze's wrap sheet with the mom on the in-home?

They might. I doubt it has much tangible effect compared to the success on the field that he can tout.

I believe so too. My contact is on the AD side, that's why I seldom get info on recruiting. I heard early this morning that there was resistance within the administration to Freeze. The reception to freeze was cold.

I 100% agree...which my BVS tells means means a total gutting is coming..

 

[volfanCLT]

You guys say you need some offensive help?

 

[InVOLuntary]

That's why I said it was hard to predict. You get some you probably wouldn't get and you lose some you probably would get. Hard to say.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I don't think he was fooled in the slightest. I think you saw a first year, defensive minded head coach make his first big mistake. The good thing is he gets a do over without it costing a lot of money.

Talk to me when he wins something in March

“I think if you want to blame someone for this year blame the intern at Alabama. Pruitt took over a team that didn't win an SEC game last year and was lucky to beat Ga. Tech to have one win over a Power Five team. if he doesn't show any progress in year two, then start to question him.”

Titans 5-6 and coaching decisions huge reason they lost two games. LOST TO THE BILLS, lost in embarrassing fashion to Colts and Ravens.

Fireable offense in NFL

 

[dwaugh]

How long do Coordinators stay anywhere these days? I think 2-3 years is the norm

Tennessee is doing their best to bring down that average.

 

[butchna]

Lol

Except he has no power 5 experience.

Neither did Riley...as a coordinator. Which is the position he’s being hired for. Only a goofy **** worries how good a WR coach the dude they’re considering hiring as OC was.








lol

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

New offer. UGA offered as well

Parker Ball, Douglas County, Center (FB)

 

[JacketVol]

P

If they're in a hurry because if the early signing period that's a mistake. I thought we learned our lesson about hiring quickly to salvage a signing class. Do your due diligence and hire the best man for the job. Don't pench pennies either. A savings of $500K now has the potential to cost you millions later.

But this time we can absolutely not afford to lose a class. Will be dead if we had the Lord calling the plays.

Dude never should've been hired in the first place. You don't go with an unknown when you have a playoff caliber team.

Kudos to whoever changed Hugh freeze’s wiki page lol

I agree. I think he left some on the table but he generally did what was expected. Next year should be significantly better, maybe not much win wise but the team should be much more sound.
