Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

yeah ok....

LOOK, A Fire Sale, lets get one, LOL.

Or Pruitt could hire Osovet tomorrow and not give what a flying f what the perception is because he is Pruitt.

Pruitt doesn’t have clout like that

 

[drylo]

Georgia is just making excuses for the fact they were overrated. They got smacked. That’s all there is to it. They only beat 1 good team all year

What do they have to make excuses for? I mean, it’s not like they got dragged by a 4-loss Big XII team 48 hours removed from trashing the Big XII champ and another undefeated team for losing their bowl games.

 

[BJSforVols]

Like some of us have been saying. He's not going to leave the NFL for a college gig.

He may not have the chance to stay in the NFL. If the new Cleveland HC doesn’t want Kitchens, college or sitting out a season may be his only options considering this block.

 

[SweetasSoda]

I actually like that he hasn't seem to think he must make the media or fans happy with who is going to hire and when. Also like that he is going after who he thinks might work and moving on to the next if it doesn't instead of worrying about the "optics" of how it is perceived by the public. I think he will get the best available OC just like he goes after the best players then...."Don't worry about who you don't get. Worry about who you do."

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Like some of us have been saying. He's not going to leave the NFL for a college gig.

I think he is really only staying in the NFL if it's at Cleveland as their HC or OC.

Now, I think he is most likely going to be there. So I am expecting us to move on from him IF he was the #1 guy from the beginning.

 

[landscapingvol]

Actually, the results seem to dispute this theory.

They do not and if that truly is the case what does that say about Helton? That cannot be quantified. It’s like saying God did it. I believe in God but that can never be proven

 

[bignewt]

Pruitt doesn’t have clout like that

Oh I'd say he does right now. There isn't going to be a press conference. Just a tweet and let's move on. What blacklash would matter to him?

he doesn't need clout to not gaf.

Too many scenarios can’t follow

 

[SugarCC]

I do not get this. If you have him locked up already why not wait and make sure a home run hire doesn't come along - if after all the smoke clears it doesn't then promote him.

This. This right here.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Or Pruitt could hire Osovet tomorrow and not give what a flying f what the perception is because he is Pruitt.

This right here. As long as whoever is hired produces on the field and calls all the plays and does a good job. Who cares who the OC is.

 

[HankHill]

he doesn't need clout to not gaf.

That’s fair but there’s a difference in a proven head coach doing that vs Pruitt.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

LOOK, A Fire Sale, lets get one, LOL.

Guessing you are talking about the coaching convention and the firing of all the NFL coaches.

 

[jakez4ut]

That’s the issue, we don’t & never will know what might have been!

we have a pretty good idea. lol.

 

[HankHill]

This right here. As long as whoever is hired produces on the field and calls all the plays and does a good job. Who cares who the OC is.

Because if Pruitt thought he was the best candidate and could be a very good OC why even search around for over a month

 

[landscapingvol]

Pruitt doesn’t have clout like that

No he doesn’t, you can’t live vicariously through Saban when your only season as a head coach was 5-7

 

[bignewt]

That’s fair but there’s a difference in a proven head coach doing that vs Pruitt.

No. There. Is. Not.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

That’s fair but there’s a difference in a proven head coach doing that vs Pruitt.

Well I’m sorry to tell you but you don’t become proven in 2 years. So even if he waited another year and did that he wouldn’t be considered proven. So.... I say he does whatever he wants and as long as it pans out then he kept his job going and did what a HC is supposed to do.

 

[rdavis007]

Or Pruitt could hire Osovet tomorrow and not give what a flying f what the perception is because he is Pruitt.

True, He and his family are already set for life. He would be fine without drawing another payday, unlike myself. This OC search is not helping my annual performance review.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Because if Pruitt thought he was the best candidate and could be a very good OC why even search around for over a month

Because he's already on staff and helping with recruiting... it's not like Coach O is elsewhere and has to be scooped up, he's in Orange & White helping us secure a potential top 10 class.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Because if Pruitt thought he was the best candidate and could be a very good OC why even search around for over a month

I don’t disagree with this logic I also don’t think it will be osovet. My point is I t won’t matter as long as whoever he gets produces.

 

[jakez4ut]

That cannot be quantified by recruits, recruits who go elsewhere aren’t questioned in depth as to why they spurned other schools and recruits who eliminated UT no longer talk about UT.

we have like 5 spots left. maybe less, can't remember. 1 is giong to Wright. that's 4 or less, left. we're not losing anyone because of htis. no one decommitted. and a guy like haselwood yeah, we're trying, but everyone believes he's going to OU, and has been for a little bit now. even atlvol said he was a no go several weeks ago.

can't be quantified by recruits....lol.

 

[BJSforVols]

They do not and if that truly is the case what does that say about Helton? That cannot be quantified. It’s like saying God did it. I believe in God but that can never be proven

Helton wasn’t here when we landed Harrison Bailey, Q. Crouch, and other top recruits. Sitting where TN is in recruiting with the records TN has had over the last few years is outstanding.

So yes, the results have indicated no OC has had little to no effect on recruiting.

 

[McGeesPub]

Next it will be “We just need one in place by the Florida game”

Boy, that would be the mother of all annual “We’re obviously keeping the playbook closed until the Florida game,” strategies.
