Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[revjayp]

I think Pruitt lost the locker room last year toward the end of the season and has never regained it.

Don't @ me.

I agree. Something is odd. This team doesn’t look right. Something is off. In the broadcast today, the sideline reporter witnesses a lineman raid his hand and ask “what are we doing??”... how is that possible?

 

[Jack Burton]

Dooley
Jones

lol Dooley didn’t have sustained success. Research showed Jones was successful with someone else’s recruits...

 

[eVOLve]

Well, I guess he could have went and pouted about it.

He looks relieved. Like a kid not having to do a chore.

 

[Kingston Vol]

What does that mean

Warrior sets up and call the defense on the back end. JG sets up all the protections and audibles on offense.

They haven’t done well at these tasks, mind you, but the guys behind them have proven they can’t do it at all.

Virginia Cavaliers are currently ranked 21.... let that sink in. I would love to know the recruiting class comparisons over the past 3-4yrs... yet we are straight trash.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

The target for our next head coach should be someone who has shown sustained success at a school with low resources. Someone do the research and create a list.

Michael Leach?

Honestly despite his lack of a running game or elite defense, he’s rebuilt 2 programs and done so with limited resources.

Gary Patterson would be my first and only call. Make him a top 10 paid coach and let’s ride.

 

[jakez4ut]

Oh, there’s a choice. But it’s tough.
stop spending money over there until they get it right.

That wasn't the point... It was about being patient.

On that we really don't have a choice.

I’m really warming up to @BruinVol’s suggestion of Bronco Mendenhall.

Don't @ me.

Not that it matters obviously. But that’s when he lost me. And i completely agree with you.

Players showed out for him mid season last year and then he kept talking about flipping the roster and needing to get all these new players in here.

 

[Aesius]

Is Pruitt already in 2011 Dooley mode and wanting to be fired?

 

[volinbama256]

Gary Patterson would be my first and only call. Make him a top 10 paid coach and let’s ride.

Patterson wanted the job years ago and we passed on him... he still talks about it... he will never set foot in Knoxville unless it's to whip our ass on the field.

 

[UpstateVol613]

That Pitt play though.

 

[Kingston Vol]

That wasn't the point... It was about being patient.

On that we really don't have a choice.

That’s probably true. But we know where this ship is going. We just get to watch it sink from our room while the coaches get to jump off.

 

[BearCat204]

Hahahaha Pitt just ran the Philly Special to go up on UCF

 

[Aesius]

Lol, USCe forum is depressed as hell but they're even saying stuff like "the only win I see left on the schedule is UT"

 

[Devo182]

Holy moly. Chaney clearly schemed his TE to be wide open by 25 yards, and our QB missed him. Chaney got JJ open on a route at the goal line and it ended up with an INT.

Chaney helped start Peterman, put Brees in the league, and coached up a true freshman Fromm. It ain’t him.

Not hard to get a guy to sit in the end zone from 3 yards out. Anyone can "scheme" that. TE wide open - credit to Chaney.

But it's not about a play or two out of 70 plays, it's about the other 68 - you're missing the larger point. Just like the tv commentator said - he is not playing to our QB's strengths. He's trying to make him a 4-wide west coast guy that makes multiple progressions. That isn't JG! It's blatantly obvious he can't read 4 WR sets and over the middle well. Need to keep him in a box. Play to his limitations and play to our passing strengths - utilizing MC and JJ's height, strength, and ball skills.

I'm sure you realize these are our passing strengths as well.

Smh. They’re probably right tho..

 

[vol4eva]

You see all these other teams overachieving or meeting expectations, and we can’t even make bowl games with top 20 classes.

The complete ineptitude is unbelievable. It’s like we’re trying hard to be this bad.

 

[BearCat204]

I have no doubt usce will curb stomp us

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

Look at the right side of that video (#64, #55, #74). Super deflating to see a wide-open TE get completely missed for a TD, at the PERFECT moment. Would've tied the game there.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Patterson wanted the job years ago and we passed on him... he still talks about it... he will never set foot in Knoxville unless it's to whip our ass on the field.

Why still talk about it? I think these coaches aren’t as petty as people think. He’s probably making too much to uproot now though, sadly.

 

[I4Jay]

That’s why you rush 4 & 5 in late game situations ! Pitt applying pressure

 

[MADISONGAVOL]

Is that the dude we passed on 2 year as ago? I hope not

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

I’m really warming up to @BruinVol’s suggestion of Bronco Mendenhall.

The guy apparently loves a rebuilding job. Could be a perfect match.

Silver lining is we can outpay USCe. Just have to hope USCw keeps winning and keeps Clay!
