Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Ashevolle]

It's not going to be Freeze. For numerous reasons.

Namely a commitment to losing

 

[JAllen18]

This also won't be the Haslam's decison behind this hire. This hire will be 100% Pruitt.

 

[LA Vol]

The Haslams strike again

Nothing to do with them.

 

[Orange Studs]

I put the blame of the this season on all of you that fussed until they removed our wonderful DJ and the awesome 3rd down song that we all fell in love with last year.

 

[JAllen18]

Sure would be nice if we had those things.

Give it time.

Wanya Morris & Wright coming in will help and Kennedy. O-Line will be much better next year.

 

[Orange Studs]

Chandler can be, imo; Callaway is good, far from elite. I think our best playmaker is playing defense, in Bryce Thompson.

I was going to make another post and say both of our DB's will be game changers I believe next year. Thompson show a lot of talent as a freshman.

 

[AngryButchJones]

Don't think the Freeze thing has anything to do with Pruitt or Fulmer, FWIW. Probably more likely to do with higher ups at UT and the SEC both.

Agree on the Haslem part. Hes not gonna be told who he has to hire by anybody but I firmly believe he would be told if he couldnt hire a specific person.

McElwain is a "let's ride" candidate. Not a "trot out" candidate.

Might would help swing Harrison Bailey from Michigan, too.

The “trot” couldn’t be stronger if it was a pony

SEC is crooked as hell. It wouldn't surprise me that they discourage TN for making the hire and he lands at another SEC program, namely Alabama or Auburn. Paul Finebaum the other day mentioned that he expected Gus to hire him at auburn.

Hard for me to count on Kennedy, his injury history has me concerned also we have no idea how good he actually is.

 

[SmokinBob]

Hate to say it boys, but shark humper is probably the best candidate for the OC job. SEC OC experience and SEC HC experience is hard to pass up. A new HC like Pruitt could benefit greatly from having a veteran shark humper on staff

 

[Catbone]

I get the feeling pruitt isnt the most fun to work with lol

 

[UpstateVol613]

Doubt Saban is either.

 

[tomq_123]

Pruitt needs to ask himself “What would Saban do?” And the answer is Saban already tried to hire Freeze.

Ryan Johnson strikes me as the kind of player that makes an impact in the SEC his redshirt jr year, he was just forced into action too early. He looks like he could end up being a more than solid option for us at center going forward.

SIAP

@Dooby15 been telling y’all

Carvin and JJohnson will benefit from another year of S&C and be more game-ready, too. Morris will get a headstart as an EE and both he and Kennedy will be able to go through spring practice. The whole line will be bigger and stronger next year and maybe we'll have solid depth behind them.

He’s definitely one I feel improved *some* as the season went on. Those first two games ooooof

 

[Catbone]

Saban makes you look good because he wins every game though

 

[MetalVolunteer]

Freeze still has a stink about him. Nobody in the SEC is going touch him for a little bit. TN doesn’t need that kind of attention.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

I don't see how hiring escorts is impossible to overcome for a coordinator. If it were for a head coaching job that's different. But we're talking about a guy whose crime was paying for sex and being a hypocrite about it. Maybe Freezus should've beaten his wife or looked the other way when a child predator roamed the halls -- he'd get hired by a big time program then.

I always thought the crime was that the escorts weren't for himself.

Really that whole line looked oooof all season long. Hard pressed to find bright spots. It will get better, it has to.

Only one way to go once you hit the bottom
