Simply put:

Spin it however you want, Butch had two consensus top 7 recruiting classes. He did this after lean years. He underachieved with them in the field.

Pruitt isn’t going to match that this year. Can he coach up what he has? We shall see.

Of overrated so called talent. We have had zero defensive talent excluding Barnett and Sutton. Look at the rest nothing to note. On offense yes some talent but of course shi!!y coaching gets you shi!!y results. Do not be fooled by the top 7 classes because they have and did fool us.

Any reports as to where the coaching staff were today yet? Which paid sites usually report that information?

I am confused, i thought you had inside infoz?

I am going to turn your frown upside down....but if I deliver you have to promise to stop bitching (by making negative posts) and just enjoy the wins and not focus on the negative things in relation to TN football and recruiting.

Its not ESD today and it sure as hell isn't feb signing period yet either...and the ink ain't dry till its dry son.

I’m new here, so forgive me if I’m off the mark. It seems that if we want the good news, we need to answer Bobby’s question. Hasn’t AV confirmed that Bobby can be trusted?

Is the answer Texas? I don’t have a 247 account.

OC search update from Newberg on FSU247 doesn't sound so good for FSU and Briles...

Just wanted to let you guys know where things stand.

I’ve made several calls and spoken to sources throughout the day and things remain as we reported in last night’s Insider, Kendal Briles continues to be the focus. However, I’m not going to report that a deal is done until I’m told so. Things can get complicated in negotiations and at this time I’m not prepared to call it a “done deal”.

I also can’t create the news, so we’re just going to have to be patient. Taggart and the admin are working on it, I'm sure the news will come out once a new OC is in place. I’ll come back in this thread tonight if I hear anything new.

That’s great news.

Weird that we and FSU are both in a holding pattern.

Early signing period. I'm convinced of it now, especially if it means one or two other staff changes.

For anyone that wants to watch the tennessee and Gonzaga game again it’s being replayed on ESPNU at 8 tonight.

It sounds to me like Briles is trying to see how desperate we are. He is making all kinds of demands. I say let him go back to Houston, if he won't meet somewhere in the middle.

Just a quick observation on the BB game yesterday, we need to plant a Norvell Jr. on each team we play the rest of the year and we going all the way!

Hurd. Saban never stopped trying to land Hurd. Butch beat out both Saban and Meyer for Trey. Pretty sure Kongbo was a take too.

Man... imagine what Hurd could have done running downhill in that Bama offense

Also odd Bama hasn't announced anything either

Just have to be desperate enough to re-assign Friend and let him bring Randy Clements.

But their fans aren't the least bit worried that Saban will botch the hire.

 

[SSVol]

I agree to a certain point and it's not just that we lost, it's how we lost. It's the appearance that the players quit. It's the appearance that Coach Pruitt lost the team.

Cause and effect is off. Butch recruited fine off of 5-7, but the team looked like they cared. The recruiting is bad because there are reasonable questions about the staff. Whatever led to Helton leaving affected the team, which led to the losses.

Not trying to be that guy, but how do you know that he's "making all kind of demands"? There is next to zero accurate info coming out on this search. Only thing I've seen is that he wants his OL coach.
