Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[UTProf]

Kasim Hill transferred in from Maryland but has to sit this year. I have no idea how good he's supposed to be though.

He'd be playing right now if he were eligible. He may or may not be good but he's a veteran starter and JG needs sit while he sorts out whatever is wrong with him this season.

 

[JCP201]

6 TD passes for WSU QB 8:09 remaining in 3rd quarter

Could the Pirate pass that much with JG as quarterback? and woah, I just read that Chip beat them? What happened?

 

[UTProf]

I am pretty stoked about Maurer. Can't imagine how jacked up he was getting thrust into the game. In the swamp no less. Chaney needs to do that QB whispering we've all heard about ( I acknowledge has fallen on deaf ears up to now) and get him under control .

My prediction is the offense will rally around him. It may not be pretty at times but if it lights a fire under the offense I will be satisfied.

Maurer has enough moxie that I don't think playing him against UGA would hurt his development one bit. Nothing seems to phase him. If he ever settles down and improves his accuracy he could be a good QB. I don't think failure is something that crushes him.

 

[Power T-Rev]

Hard to imagine this staff wanting to give Mauer (or Shrout) their first start against UGA. That would not be setting them up for success and may actually hurt their development.

If I were Pruitt, I’d go w JG as long as possible in hopes that he figures some things out.

The big picture goal has to be to bring in a legitimate transfer QB in the off season.

If you're worried about your QB's psyche after a loss, then you don't have a good QB. A QB with the right mentality no matter how young would not let it affect them

 

[TrueVolsGBOInsider]

I legitimately don’t know if this team is any better than the 2018 Vols. You cannot continue to get blown out by 25+ points in every big time game.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

How bad is Aubrey Soloman....????

Dang.

We can't get any pressure.

Our DL is absolutely pathetic.

QB and DL - fix those things and we might look decent.

Rocker needs to be fired during the bye week. He’s terrible! Hire a GA or quality control guy. I don’t even care anymore.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Darrell Taylor has been non existent in 2019. Bumphus hasn't done much outside of his 2 sack game against BYU. And these guys are Juniors and Seniors. We've had to blitz our linebackers to create pressure leaving the middle of the field wide open for Florida. Hurt us all game with it. Pruitt has to focus on recruiting. We need help all across the board, but especially at End.

Who is he going to get??? He ran his mouth all offseason about how much better we would be, so what will he sell? Recruits aren’t going to want to play for him.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Bass said earlier Ignont was looking. Not sure where that came from, but wouldn't surprise me.

Good! I hope about 15-20 of the upperclassmen hit the portal tomorrow. Play all of the FR and SO and Jauan. I want guys out there who give 2 cents about playing for the Vols.

 

[csprig9]

Haha
Great job leach beating lowly UCLA.....
Hold on, up 32 and lost, yeah he would definitely win big in the sec......

We aren’t. We have regressed significantly.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

We fired the last guy and are about to fire his replacement. It's coaching. You don't beat Auburn and Kentucky last year with no talent.

I would explain it to you, but you wouldn't get it.

You havent heard, hes a genius.

 

[csprig9]

You havent heard, hes a genius.

I know right, greatest coach since Doeren. He’s got a ton of National and conference titles. Can’t believe no big team has given him a shot ever. He always seems to get third tier jobs and win 10 games once every four years or so but he’s a legend. And definitely fire Pruitt after 16 games, that shows we are definitely a good place to be. Every coach would be knocking down the door to come here bc it’s worked so well the last 10+ years.

 

[BruinVol]

Well it sure is nice to finally have a team that passes the look test.

All those preseason reports sure were accurate.

 

[millst987]

WTH do you do if you are coaching this team? You can’t pass because the qb throws into triple coverage, you can’t run because the defense will stack the box, you can’t get a pass rush with the DL, and you can’t be aggressive with the blitz because our dbs are letting dudes run by them. WTH do you do? We are so F’ed

[BruinVol]

Help me with the math.

If attendance goes down by just 10k, roughly 10%, next season how much money is lost per game???



I’m guessing the answer to this question proves it does make financial sense to fire the fool that doesn’t even know when to take or decline a penalty. Bama Pruitt must go!!

You lose apparently.

our coaches need to play their system and put any player in that remotely gets it done. Recruit to your system, the year is toast and we need to build for the future. If Pruitt has a chance it’s that.

 

[butchna]

Here's the thing that bugs me about all of that... People are looking at coaches and saying 'can this guy win us a championship?' when we should be looking at coaches and saying 'can this guy get us to respectability.' We have to crawl before we can walk let alone run. Everyone looks at coaching searches as a one shot solution. It's not. We're too far down and have no one waiting in the wings to return home. Unfortunately, Johnny ain't coming home this time. We have to build up to respectability to hire a good coach.

Hire a guy til you get the next one...like a TEMP? Can’t go with you on that.

 

[butchna]

Nah, it was included in the something, somethings.

I had something else that you passed over...like a winless team did the WSU defense.

 

[butchna]

You havent heard, hes a genius.

The title vacated by Mack Brown?

 

[chargervol]

3-9
6-7
3-9

Mike Leach at WSU the first 3 years. Without the QB play he needs.
We would've seen the results with JG in year 2, determined we messed up bringing him to the SEC and would be discussing his replacement.

^This! Nailed it! This board has hired Les Miles, Mack Brown and now Mike Leach in the first four weeks and mulled extending an offer to Mark Richt. These same trustees would have fired each by now.

I don't believe anyone seriously considered Mack Brown.
