Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[nicksjuzunk]

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

 

[nicksjuzunk]

SEC is savage

One year, you beat both National Championship opponents, get a raise

Next year, they fire you (possibly)

It just means... more?

[Darth_Shiveman]

Give it time.

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

OL is still much more than one offseason from being able to run a clock control, power run-centric offense.

Not to mention the fact that our only bigger RB is gonna play LB next year.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Nothing to do with them.

Any rumblings on your end on possible candidates or the hiring window? Before or after the Early Signing Period?

 

[rekinhavoc]

Damnit I went to bed thinking you guys would have this OC hire hashed out.

Couldn’t get to it. I was over 30 pages behind, with you clowns filling a new page with every one I read

You're caught up now chop chop. You have until noon. Wait what timezone are you in?

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

These are what i for sure know:

-Freeze really wants the job.
-Pruitt has interest in hiring him.
-A couple “power players” are hesitant about his past and what SEC/NCAA/Media could say about it.
-early signing day is coming up and freeze isn’t busy and can be on the road recruiting ASAP, no buy out etc.

I feel comfortable enough in saying i believe Freeze will be on campus at some point this week and meet with who he needs to do to try and “prove he’s ready for a shot” per say.

It’s probably the Haslams who have a “problem” with it, because they have a problem with winning.

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

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

Why do you say that? He checks all of what I perceive as Pruitt’s boxes are:

- experienced play caller
- highly successful (2 nattys and a Heisman as a play caller)
- ball control, pro style offense in the mold of circa 2010 Alabama
- has worked on staff with Pruitt before
- understands the “Saban” method having served under him for 4 years
- has the experience and is capable of owning his own side of the ball so that Pruitt can concentrate on the D

 

[Kingston Vol]

It’s not the Haslams at all. They don’t care about an OC search.

Fact of the matter is Jeremy Pruitt is not interested in having Hugh Freeze on his staff.

 

[volswillrise12]

It’s funny how some people don’t like what you tell them but for the fact they just don’t like it. Morality argument or no Tennessee ain’t hiring Freeze. I wouldn’t be shocked if Pruitt elevated Friend—but we’ll see.

 

[BigOrange15]

It’s not the Haslams at all. They don’t care about an OC search.

Fact of the matter is Jeremy Pruitt is not interested in having Hugh Freeze on his staff.

So all the talk about him wanting him when he was first putting his staff together was BS?

How do you know that?

same here. pretty disappointed

 

[TideWarrior]

And be the same ole boring sh** we have watched for the last 5-10 years.

Run first offense that controlled the clock and a strong D that did not break won UA 3 NC's in 09, 11, & 12. If that is boring I will take it all day long.

How are you glazing over the worst offenses in Florida history when he was running the show. An offense so easy “his dog could play QB”, but his quarterbacks were awful

What anyone accomplished at Bama is near irrelevant. Larry Scott could set records with those players.

Yeah but also with the players. What are you doing now offensively?

 

[TideWarrior]

Our offense finally starting becoming a little more explosive after 8 years of building great depth in the trenches and on the defensive side of the ball. Now we reload on defense and started really focusing on offense the last several years. So it does not happen over night.

Do you have any statistics handy on how McElwain’s Bama offenses have compared to other Bama OC’s. I have a hunch, but haven’t seen the data

 

[Smokeytom]

Should be another fun day in here gents! Happy VN coaching search!

 

[JacketVol]

It’s not the Haslams at all. They don’t care about an OC search.

Fact of the matter is Jeremy Pruitt is not interested in having Hugh Freeze on his staff.

But how does he feel about having him as the OC?

 

[millst987]

Freeze really wants the OC job and Pruitt is trying to push him to a couple of people having snags about his rep.

How could you know this? That’s pretty sensitive material

 

[HankHill]

How could you know this? That’s pretty sensitive material

The streets talk lol no anytime a hire is made within Football they have to run it by power players. Right or wrong that’s how we didn’t hire Kevin steele under Dooley and how fulmer wound up with clawson.
