Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Getting hammered with snow in Kingsport. Kinda cool.

 

[butchna]

I wasnt arguing differently, I dont think he "might very well be" as good a coach as Healy.

You think anybody should hire him as a HC?

 

[BruinVol]

ITS A PROMOTION

And those before the hay is in the barn cause distractions. Some more than others but you seem to be disregarding the relationship Pruitt has with Saban


Imo Any assistant coach leaving a school should keep it quiet until after their bowl games unless they are getting a HC job.

The job isn't done until the last game is played

 

[StoVol]

If Pruitt and Fulmer are legitimately doing these interviews to learn, find weaknesses and strengths with different sets...then I think it’s absolutely brilliant.

Especially if they already have their guy picked out.

Interviews are about the only way you can get these guys to reveal their secrets

Theres nothing secretive about it tho, its called the veer and shoot. They dont use a playbook tho so I'll give u that

 

[BruinVol]

UT isn't concerned about accommodating Bama or Georgia or any other rival. Info will be out when there's info to be outed.

What if Pruitt is the only one that knows?

 

[Batman1948]

The oc going to Maryland isnt a distraction but the qb coach to TN is?

Maybe he doesn't want anymore distractions. Especially concerning Tennessee with signing day coming up and Hurts front and center as maybe his starter in the playoffs. That's a pretty big stretch though

 

[StoVol]

You think anybody should hire him as a HC?

Sure but it would be "beneath him" which is why I think he's doomed in the long run

How much did we get? I'm heading back tomorrow from the beach

 

[Batman1948]

Everytime I think I have the OC search figured out it circles back.

Looks painful

If “everyone is understanding” of an OC taking a promotion at another school, they would also be understanding of a position coach taking a promotion at another school

OC leaving is much more distracting than a QB coach leaving

If it were that simple then making this OC pick wouldn’t be a big deal.

 

[volfanCLT]

Zero chance of that imo

Still not buying it. Candidates aren’t going to lay all of their secrets on the table during an interview. Especially if you are having multiple ones in a day, I doubt the dives are all that deep.

You hear all the time about coaches spending a week with X team, X Coach, in the offseason. I’d say information exchange is accomplished much more there. And having interviewed at competing firms multiple times in my career, and having conducted interviews for candidates at competitors, I know that the most vital information isn’t being exchanged during that process.

Playoffs? Yeah. Bowl? Not a big deal. Most important consideration if it’s a current college guy is the recruiting classes. It won’t be announced until after early signing day if so. And Sherrer was recruiting for UT while preparing for the playoffs for UGA...as Pruitt was doing the same for Bama. Neither was on the road recruiting for their former schools.

 

[BruinVol]

This isn’t a lateral move. It would be a promotion. Gets him back to being an OC and gives a better outlook of getting back to a HC one day too.

I agree but some would argue losimg the associate head coaching title would make
It false

 

[LA Vol]

What if Pruitt is the only one that knows?

Then there is no deal-- just a conversation between two people that may or may not lead anywhere.

 

[BruinVol]

Lots of people discounting the relationship between Saban and Pruitt either way here

 

[BruinVol]

Agreed

Imo Pruitt-Saban-enos may be the only ones that know those final details

 

[KPT_VFL]

In my yard we have well over 8 and in spots 10 it’s still snowing pretty good too.

 

[SCvol333]

At least Tee is aware he is overrated as a coach. He knows he would fail at Austin Peay. He has to go somewhere that he can win with Jimmys and Joe's because his X and Os is lacking

Look at his wonderlic score. Shouldn’t surprise anyone he is not a great X’s and O’s Guy

 

[Kingston Vol]

This idea that we’re hiding a hire and interviewing other coaches in the meantime to “talk stragtegies” is ludicrous.

Sherrer wasn't legally recruiting for us

well i didnt monopolize making simple things complicated, we can run Power I play action pro set if we want but we better have freakin superior talent. Or we could embrace a philossphy that narrows that gap with proven production in Div I, Div I AA, Div II, Div III, FCS, and Naia football. I looked at top ten offenses in college footballs big boys yesterday. How many would u guess were Spread/Airraid?

 

[BruinVol]

This idea that we’re hiding a hire and interviewing other coaches in the meantime to “talk stragtegies” is ludicrous.

Agreed

But what if those interviews really didn't happen?

Yep. Get your guy on the road like Canales and his Dr. Pepper. Recruit! Recruit! Recruit!
