Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[98nostalgia]

Not sure...I think they just decided to put Jordan in to run into his lineman's backs or just run the wrong way all together

Funny how this motivational quote makes a full circle,especially after yesterday’s performance....keep those scraps coming Chump.

 

[JacketVol]

Interesting timing........

No it’s not. Is from 2017

 

[NashVolDavis]

I agree. He's disinterested to the point of rudeness with donors and fans, but we've all been willing to overlook it if that's what it takes to fix football. And his past players seem to admire him, so player rapport is what matters. But hell, he's only being asked to do half his job and he's having trouble with that. I'm hoping he can reach the players and salvage the season enough to keep recruiting afloat.

Salvage the season? Lol we just had our worst loss in 30 years and nobody seems to care. Yesterday was a nightmare opener. How do you even move on from that...

 

[Jackcrevol]

For a fist time HC, would the school not desire the buyout to increase as time went on? If you learn of lack of ability in earlier years, it would make it easier for turnover. Little buyout in later years makes it easier for a successful HC to bail to another school.

Seems like our administration got suckered again.

who did we sucker? he was our best option available other than proven head coaches that wanted the job. none of us have a clue what constraints Fulmer was given, budget, Haslam etc.

at the time Pruitt was a hotter name. i think its pretty obvious that this program was in a lot worse shape than we thought after Butch left....i mean some of his linemen were 250 lbs.

Pruitt is trying to completely re write the script. It was wishful thinking he was the right guy.

 

[Catbone]

BYU may end up being the most important game of Pruitt's career. I think based on that game we will sink or barely stay afloat. Don't see a way recovering if we look like we did again next weekend.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

omg

Dooley had year 0

This is clearly year -1

 

[Z06VolinWV]

I say start JG for BYU, and if he doesn’t redeem hisself by half time, bench his ass and work toward the future.

 

[Garren04]

DT basically said they weren't prepared. Didnt know what ga st was going to do and didnt watch enough film. I think we didnt take them seriously and paid.

Yeah but I feel like we have enough talent to overcome that. Maybe we just don’t care idk.

 

[McGeesPub]

Did I think we found the right guy? Absolutely

Is he the right guy? Meh times gonna tell

What stings is Phil’s short list was Pruitt/ Steele/ Mel Tucker... Tucker just destroyed his in state rival in his first game. Maybe Phil got it wrong.. I dunno.

With that being said, it would not surprise me one bit to see Tennessee come out and set the world on fire next week and put up a 52-14 on BYU. Maybe this staff/ players will start coaching/playing pissed off and put a product on the field that’s something to be proud of... time will tell

Phil’s list was crap, and he also talked to Norvell, who didn’t make the final list somehow. Even if he goes to casinos, would have blown the doors off the “Career DC” theme.

 

[TrueVolsGBOInsider]

omg

Pruitt ain’t lying though, How a man acts in defeat tells you a lot about that person. If are players don’t respond after that loss then we don’t have the right players on our team
To compete in the SEC.

 

[mrorange211]

There are so many on this board who just feast on the negativity. They don’t even really want the VOLS to be successful. That’s why you see them post so much in difficult times. They come out of the woodwork for these moments.

I wouldn't even give him till halftime. First dumbass play, I'd pull him.

 

[JohnnyD1024]

When Bituli supposed be back?

Bump

After yesterday's Sh!tshow every game is his most important. How in the hell do you come out flat and uninspired in your home opener against a weak opponent? Those kids should have been bouncing off the walls . After halftime they should have come out looking pissed and ready to punish someone.

 

[HankHill]

Doesn’t matter. He’s just piling on. His comment is irrelevant to the real story concerning UT football right now

Piling on or not it’s an issue. There is no buzz or energy within our program even before the loss. Just show up to work and go home. You have to motivate players. They aren’t getting it done at all and haven’t been since the end of the season last year.

 

[headhunter15]

I went to the game yesterday. Was emotionless walking out afterward. I said I thought this was a 6-6 team...I really hope UT can win 6 games.

Can someone please explain the constant subbing/rotating on defense? I know the team is trying to find depth, but DT should not come out as long as he is healthy.

If only that were the only problem...

 

[wuwh_08]

**** you too ass wipe. Spend five figures and get back to me. Ignore button is yours.

It is mine but I am not going to use it. Just stop acting like a bitter woman.

Not my problem that you spent that much money on a game but it’s a nice problem to have.

With that kind of money and talking about it are you sure you aren’t a Vandy fan?

 

[TrueVolsGBOInsider]

Banks made some plays late.

Once he gets a better grasp of the OLB responsibilities then he’s gonna really make some noise. I liked what I saw from him yesterday though, he plays tough every down and he’s not afraid of contact

What does this have to do with letting the media view more practices?

Genuine question. Are you defending yesterday? Should we accept losing to Georgia State type teams now and not complain about it? You sound like part of the problem.

You should not give a first time HC a front loaded buyout, so not sure what your post implies.

We've been kicked in the nuts enough. Rip the bandaid off now. Give Maurer a shot in the first half if he doesn't get it done put in Shrout. If they both fail put in JJ we know he gives two sh!ts.
