Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[mr.checkerboards]

After our discussion this morning its my opinion that if Pruitt leaves this year its because he wants out.

 

[LA Vol]

The only way out of this mess quickly is a time machine. Joke, no joke.

Racheting up the misery just makes it worse. The more radioactive UT becomes, the less good people will want to be part of it-- at any level.

#2 and #3 have been top of my list for many years.

After ponying up for Harbaugh and him being a failure. Do they pony again

 

[Jimmy Football]

I'm not sure where I land on this. I think there is merit to the belief that things get better if you hire the right coach. But, the hard cap on the 25/class limit makes things more difficult now. Saban signed 32, 30, 28 and 26 in his first three full classes. So, going in to year 3, he was able to clean house of 12 extra guys and bring in players he wanted. Makes a difference in how quickly things can get turned around.

I think there’s now an observable correlation between the 25/class cap and the overall top-heaviness of college football.

David Shaw ia a guy I would be intrested in

and that might be the absolute worst case scenario to be honest.

Do transfer portal players count towards the 25 cap? I saw where Sonny Dykes at SMU brought in 16 transfers this year, and that has obviously helped them out (they just beat TCU for the first time in a long time, and are 4-0 for the first time since the mid 80s).

 

[BigOrangeVols]

If you google this guy it appears he has some credibility. But on this subject, I'm unsure how much.

 

[revjayp]

I don't think there is one ounce of truth to this.

But I’ve always heard that AD’s have a file of potential coaches ready to go at all times.

What’s worse: misery or apathy? I think those are your only two options right now.

Agreed even if Pruitt is a failure. I think stability is our best friend right now

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

yes.

Ugh.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Is it possible we see Friend, Rocker, Sherrer and Weinke gone after this season? I think Weinke 100% has to go.

Why would we get rid of Sherrer?

He does. Like I said, take a look at his followers.

I’d take Whittingham in a heartbeat

 

[Jackcrevol]

I don't think there is one ounce of truth to this.

First thing popped into my warped brain was Clevon Little pointing gun at himself in Blazing Saddles. 'Do what he say, he's desperate!'

'I am so talented, and they are so, DUMB!'

I appreciate your contribution here lately, LA. Your insight has been valuable and meaningful, to me at least. Keeping me away from the ledge!

 

[BigOrangeVols]

PSA: If anyone wants to waste money on Urban 7/1 going there then just come to me...I'll give you 10/1.

I actually agree here. All UT fans can do at this point is show why we are the best in the country.

He does. Like I said, take a look at his followers.

Wow, the number of followers and the names in there. Herbstreit among hundreds of others that are big names in CFB. Hmm.

i can tell you the worst idea on Earth, worse than anything is #empty neyland.

 

[BruinVol]

David Shaw ia a guy I would be intrested in

He’s also a guy that is seeing his own program slowly fade back into where it was before JH built it.

While I would take him over Bama Pruitt he can’t succeed here either imo.

 

[millst987]

Tennessee have no choice but to show up and cheer as hard as possible. It’s literally our only weapon at this point
