Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Johncarter53]

Are we still recruiting the king kid from Texas or has he shut it down?

It boils down to ethics, and urban has zero.

Guess I'm in the minority but don't care about his ethics, I want to win some football games.. I'm guessing if he came and won 9 games most would stomach his ethics.

If I'm CPF I am calling behind the scenes..

Been over for a while

 

[Devo182]

If there's any recent silver lining it would be we have forced 8 turnovers the past 2 games. If we can keep getting turnovers, it should at least keep us in some later games.

alabama is starting 4 on defense
auburn starting fresh qb and owen pappoe
sc starting fresh qb, and jamie robinson at db
lsu starting derek stingley at cb
miss st starting fabian levett at dt
texas am fresh og kenyon green,

Would any of our OL outside of Smith start for any of those teams? Nah

Yea I’m tired of ethics also. I just want to win bring me the snake and lets ride

I am not sure Smith starts for many other teams

Mahomes is so fun to watch. He makes things look so effortless he is so quick twitch. We are missing quick twitch in our QB room. It was one reason I really wanted King, despite his poor SR season so far. Can't teach that twitch and urgency. JG seems half asleep when he is moving.

Agreed...too bad the offense could not capitalize more on those opportunities...but the QB play does not affect this, as some suggest . Bring on BM or JTS, and let's ride.

Ethics shmethics. Ain't murdering or raping anyone ffs. Paying a kid for his labor is about as unethical as breaking an unjust law.

This job is too hard for Urbie. He'd never risk being exposed.

USC = easiest path to playoffs with no competition and entire nationsl advertiser-media complex routing for him.

He would have to outscore winless UCLA, even at home, but how hard is that?

Yeah, no "name" coach is coming here. Too much risk. If Pruitt doesn't make it, we gotta hire a proven program builder even if he isn't necessarily setting the world on fire at his current job. Let him get the program back to respectability, and if he can't take the next step, then we're in better shape to get the next guy. To me that's the biggest thing and even more important than Xs and Os. Just get a guy who can build a team and a culture.

SC is 3-1 and coming off a top 10 win. Helton probably is going to survive

Let’s just make sure, we are never in the business of hiring a first time head football coach here ever again.

Fulmer was a first time head coach.


Just playing devil’s advocate...

People on Twitter are already tweeting #EmptyNeyland... Fans need to support the young players and JJ who are giving their all for Tennessee Football.

We really need a Rick Barnes type. Cutcliffe would be good, but he's aging and not leaving Duke, IMO.

I happen to believe this is probably a pretty big rebuild. Need someone the fans trust explicitly to get us through it. My mind keeps coming back to Cutcliffe.

It will just fill up with Georgia fans. Won't hurt anyone but our team, which needs all the help they can get.

From Argh Matey's board:

Urban Meyer got health problems from coaching at Florida and Ohio State. Tennessee would dig the man's grave.

Glad I benched Watson this week. Wtf was that throw??
