Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[SLICKYINC]

I think you are 100% correct. Rumors circulated that the hire was "still" coaching (Chaney) and we weren't going to announce. That was the funniest of all. I'm sure we were going keep this a secret while he coached UGA until January. Bottom line is no one wants the job and we weren't aggressive enough in hiring. Pruitt knew for weeks that Helton was gone, but he didn't feel the urge "vet" candidates in those weeks. What a joke?

 

[Ron Swanson]

Well, at least he didn’t feel rushed to go out and hire the first guy that had a pulse. It’s obvious that he’s not panicked about the hire lol

He left all the panic to message board posters.

I think we're overcompensating

 

[I40VOL]

As frustrating as it is for fans, this hire is more important than a potential bump for this NSD. Although I think the effects of the OC on this cycle are being exaggerated by fans.

Missing a recruit or two stings now, missing this hire costs him his job in 2 years.

Having doubts he is here in 2 years anyway

 

[esands88]

I think it will be someone already on staff. I'm just guessing.

 

[DD4ME]

Weekends I enjoy the entire rollercoaster.
The slow but steady ascent.
Creeping over the crest, on top of the world.

Workdays and scrolling?
"Boom, we're #1 b******", 2 scrolls later
"They stabbed us in the eye, right in the damn eye!"

Laughed

 

[Blake25p]

Man, this is miserable

Hang in there brother

 

[Ron Swanson]

Both points can be true honestly. But of all the people Yurcich has the best set up where he currently is. He’s making 800k, has full control, and OK state OC has historically been a fast track to a head coaching position.

Well so far that fast track got him an interview at Akron to make about what Terry Fair makes coaching DB’s in the SEC.

You can’t turn down a job you aren’t offered.

Am I the only one that doesn't recognize half of the posters after noon?

I agree with you about this process being a disaster. It would’ve been reported already if any of those guys had a legit offer and turned it down.

 

[rekinhavoc]

Honestly I hope he has his guy locked up and there are reasons to keep it quiet. Otherwise it looks like UT jacking up another coaching hire.

 

[Big Sun]

[SpringBokVol]

I would really like to know who we have 95% hired.

 

[UTSuave’]

On the verge of throwing a chair if this doesn’t wrap up soon.

 

[Catbone]

Tomorrow's the day

 

[nicksjuzunk]

@nicksjuzunk is going to be pizzed off when he wakes up.

You’ll get your answer either tomorrow or next week.

 

[engineerVOL]

Wouldn’t consider Helton a whiff. Also, why is Helton leaving a blow to Pruitt as a HC?

Sounds like you believe everything you read on the internet.

He’s restarting with an offense that could be very different personnel wise. He had a bad year thankfully, he has Bailey in ‘20

 

[eVOLve]

Tomorrow's the day

Not likely.

 

[Ace]

Man, Pruitt has some balls taking it this close to signing day. I would think you would want the new OC helping close on some studs right now

Big Fish signing day is in February

 

[AWVOL]

I can’t even remember what I did with all my time before this search began!

Money isn’t close to the most important thing with coaches now. And look at the jobs their past OCs have taken. USM, WVU.

He’s here as long as Fulmer is here. They are joined at the hip.

 

[BruinVol]

Just curious but what's the story with briles and fsu at present?
