Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[HankHill]

I thought Arians was going to the Bucs?

 

[FïreBall]

Never worked with each other, but they have similar philosophies and overlap at the same programs (FSU, Georgia).

Coley is also a fantastic recruiter which JP desires in his OC in addition to schemes. Like I said, deal will be leaked soon, probably tomorrow.

I should have used blue font... Was being sarcastic from all the debate of this is reason all OC candidates are "rejecting" us.. I personally think Pruitt has a picture he wants to paint for the offense.. Looking at his recruiting this year you can start to see the background.. He wants a OC to paint the rest in.. I don't know much on Coley.. But if he capable of painting Pruitts picture with the medium offered.. Take him! One would think with Osovet, Friend.. Pruitts being said to have a great offensive mind.. A guy like Coley could come in and they all could develop what would fit and can be versatile to game plan opponents... I've gots hopes!

Speaking of 'eccentric' hires and our boosters always putting on old money airs, would have loved the to witnessed the Mike Leach era at UT. .

Even Phil's old school football stances.

Someone should rewrite Fulmer's "Dear Jeremy" speech to include
"Dear Mike, what pirate, what the hell are you talking about???"

 

[Garren04]

Dang if coley comes that’s a pretty good hire IMO better than Lebby/Tee or anyone else that was mentioned at this point

 

[InVOLuntary]

Rick Barnes is a great fit for UT-- coaches his players hard but genuinely cares about them, pushes for athletic and academic success, loves and respects UT traditions, appreciates the fanbase, is good with donors, active in the community, gets along with media, is happy to be an ambassador of the university and represents UT well. He wants to win the right way. Pat Summitt was the same. And is constantly riding Kesling like a cheap rented mule.

Fyp

 

[HankHill]

Tee isn’t dependent on a certain OC hire. I think he’s being looked at as a replacement for someone else.

 

[chargervol]

lol couldn't just leave it at "K," could ya? Had to come back with the edit and try to flip things around.

Sorry I'm overreacting, hostile or triggered.

 

[BruinVol]

I think this is a good point. As much as I respect the approach Barnes has taken and hope Pruitt can imitate it to a certain degree, running a CFB program is just innately different from running a CBB program in a lot of key facets.

Hate to jump in the middle but yea no way you can compare. Must recruit high level stars to win big in the SEC

 

[Batman1948]

We should start a rumor to see if we can get Dan Harrelson to run with it.

Just one rumor? How bout five or six a day?

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Tee isn’t dependent on a certain OC hire. I think he’s being looked at as a replacement for someone else.

I’d take him over Weinke - JMO and gets us in the California pipeline

 

[Power T-Rev]

Ha Bama and Georgia could both beat Tampa right now. Dream on Bucs.

This take is so dumb. I always laugh when someone says that a college team can beat an NFL team

 

[Dudley Smith]

Dang it, I jumped ahead into the middle of these Coley posts and thought we were finally on to something.

It’s called being facetious..... (Because Tampa Bay sucks so bad...)

Any chance someone can get Pruitt to hang out with him for a little while

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Dang it, I jumped ahead into the middle of these Coley posts and thought we were finally on to something.

What do you mean? You didn’t see the tweet that he is being interviewed?

 

[Power T-Rev]

I know, but there are people that really do believe that

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

Sorry I'm overreacting, hostile or triggered.

All I wanted to know was whether you meant to imply what that part of your post seemed to imply.

My OP was worded too strongly and I’m sure it came off as overly dickish. That is my bad. I didn’t mean to start a pissing contest. I really was just trying figure out what you meant, because it didn’t seem clear to me from your posts. I did escalate things and did get a perverse kick out of getting a rise from you. Sorry about that as well.

So maybe let’s just both be adults here, not try to pretend we’re too cool to admit we were both upset in some way or another by each other’s posts, and get back to good faith discussion we started with?

 

[jakez4ut]

Seems kind of tongue in cheek, but stuff like this is why I think it was probably a good idea to slow play the hire and focus on recruiting once Freeze was out. This time of year you never know who’s going to come open for a job and you may miss out on a guy you really like if you rush to hire someone just to fill the position.

Hope is not a plan.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

I know, but there are people that really do believe that

In my experience, usually Bama fans speaking about their own team.

 

[BruinVol]

Hope is not a plan.

Imo the plan is to wait on Sark and if it doesn't work out its Lebby

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

Hope is not a plan.

No, but waiting to see who becomes available after some more dominoes fall instead of rushing to hire a guy who just to fill the spot even though he may not be a good fit is a plan.


Time will tell whether it was a good one or not.

Not upset, working on trying to get my life insurance upped for my family, so this board is a side distraction a.t.m. No triggering just no concentration on tact or diplomacy.

My post "nothing to suggest his class here" was in reference to the most extreme takes on Mullen's recruiting.
"Sad" was the absolute worst ever said about his recruiting and there's not even evidence to unequivocally PROVE that wrong given UF wins and talent.
Therefore, any attempt to "lol" people that simply thought it wouldn't be "good enough", is completely unjustified.

Oh I've seen numerous people who keep a collection of foreign venomous snakes. They always end up getting bit. Every. Damn. Time. People don't understand that snakes are not pets. They don't wag their tail when you get home and greet you at the door. They just want to be fed and left to their own devices. Not to say you can't keep them but it's a different mindset than keeping a dog.

Caiman and tortoises, huh? That's an interesting combination. Any favorite species? Those big lizards have always fascinated me. Especially since their lineage is older than the dinosaurs.

Cuvier's dwarf caiman. I aspire to have a breeding pair one day. Definitely couldn't be much more expensive than the sulcata I have LOL

 

[INKYBERRYVOL]

Pruitt’s plan along was to bring in everyone and build the program up like Bama’s: Chaney CO-OC sr / QB sr, Coley CO-OC jr / QB jr, Pittman CO-OL / TE with Neids Getting running coordinator & a FAT raise, Sark as passing coordinator, Lebby as an analyst, Kliff Kingsbury as CO-CO OC / assistant HC, Mike Leach retires & becomes VFL color analysts with Bob K and special guest Joey Freshwater ... and Intern to Turf mgmt Lyle Jones...

 

[rekinhavoc]

So you thought you would hire the OC while I was in church eh? Well I went to the early service so there.

Does Coley have frickin' laser beams?
