Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

We should stick with Pruitt

For how long? I’m fine with keeping him through this year no matter what - but there’s no way he survives two or three wins.

 

[SLICKYINC]

I remember how pissed some pepple would get with me when I said Alontae was no where near as talented as Bryce.

Much easier to be the #2 than the #1.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

A lot of former players wanted Tee. I could see them going with Tee. Ive read this site for a long time, but I felt I needed to join to vent with everyone!

Good night fam. Here’s to hoping for a new low tomorrow

Titans say hold my beer

Urban go down as the greatest coach ever if he took over the VOLS and turned it around.. He'd have to deal with playing Alabama, Georgia and his former team, though. He'd never do it. Go to UCLA where it's much easier to win.

I think this is a post agreeing with me? Thanks? Now get some sleep and sober up.

JG came out hooping and hollering for the first five minutes of the game. He had folks fooled. After that he shuts down emotionally. Meanwhile Jennings stayed hyped. That's the difference between natural leadership and somebody with a leadership certificate.

Not true. Saw him grabbing kids by shirts and chewing them and punching their shoulder pads. He was coaching very hard tonight. Whole game. Sorry. Read this as Pruitt not JG. JG SUCKS LIKE BAMA GOAT HUMPERS.

I saw a wrtier tweet during the game that Bryce used to help Taylor line up last year. We are missing him and Bituli big time. Problem is it doesnt matter anymore

Until he at least has more than one recruiting class good grief it’s ridiculous to be having this conversation

Yeah, I'm shaking my head. Unfortunately Taylor was in the wrong coverage...and Warrior missed the tackle to at least force BYU to try.

Game 1 I feel like the staff thought the players were "there" mentally, but obviously we saw what happened.
Game 2 fire was lit, everyone playing hard and for the first time....the first game I can say it really came down to how badly JG played.

Chaney isn't stupid, if he sees the decision making that's happening he's going to call plays around it. I'm sure Pruitt didn't want to chance JG throwing a pick either, hell anyone on that staff saw those bad passes. BYU when they -knew- it was a run was able to hold us just enough to prevent first downs...so because of JG's inability to make the right reads and move the chains enough to keep the defense honest Chaney & Pruitt altered the playcalling offensively and one bad mistake on one play on defense ruined an otherwise solid effort.

Pruitt was up in JG's face several times. Chaney and Pruitt have to know how bad he is.

Blowout loss + MM injury incoming

This year yes, maybe. But next year would have to be 8

Dont even

Sorry. Read that as Pruitt. Not JG. JG sucks. Flipped him off after the game.

UCLA can't afford to fire Kelly and Hire Urban, USC would be more likely.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

We gonna talk about Maryland?

 

[InVOLuntary]

I can't wait for basketball season. I suspect the Vols will take a step back this year because of the crucial parts from last year having moved on but I'm confident we'll see a very well coached and prepared team that will leave it all on the court.

That class is going to suck.

But don’t worry. He’ll be around next September. Maybe not October, but definitely September.

 

[scvolfan7]

We won’t win another game with JG as starting qb. Chaney and Pruitt called great games tonight and that reject couldn’t get it done. Ball players make plays and he failed time and time and time again. Good god he is bad and Im a moron for ever defending him

 

[Ashevolle]

Still think it’ll be Tee or Fulmer as the replacement. If they have to pay the buyout for Pruitt they won’t want to 1) hire an outside coach and pay the buyout at his school and 2) pay the buyout for the current staff.

Tee becomes HC, keep Chaney at all costs, then let the rest of the staff know you aren’t firing them. Many of them will take other jobs and you replace them how you see fit.

I don’t think this makes us any more successful than the trajectory with Pruitt, necessarily. But it’ll probably be the move with the least pain.

I'll probably get off this crazy train if Fulmer self-appointed himself as coach.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Funniest ish ever watching people throw out arbitrary numbers about how many wins Pruitt needs.

0-2 for the first time in 31 years and neither team was in our zip code talent wise.

This conversation is not ridiculous

Was out all evening so I hid the scores and watched the replay just now.

Devastated. Played with heart we didn’t see last week, finally got some pass rush, OL was looking a bit better, than everything fell apart at the end.

JG can’t get us in the end zone. Openings fill too quickly and he can’t make the reads fast enough to be a threat inside the 20. Only hope is to run that stretch zone that was working or toss up a fade to 1 or 15.

What the heck is going on with the OL rotations. First unit of the night looked great. Let em go.

Crouch was explosive on the edge a couple times, Gray is absolutely electric, and Burrell is not ready to start. Need 20 back pronto.

Don’t even know what else to say. I think this team with a legit QB could actually be good. Just heartbreaking to lose like that.

He survives until next year unless we win 0-1 games this year.

 

[tomq_123]

The atmosphere was awesome, the crowd was into the game and pretty loud. We played to not lose (no QB keeper at the 2 after the PI, not kicking the field goal and going for it on 4th down) and you almost always lose when you try not to.

 

[JCP201]

Would take him even if he killed someone.

These posts are making me laugh. I appreciate it.
