Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

I'd say if Pruitt can consistently win 6 or 7 wins after year 4, it's his job for as long a he wants it.

 

[jakez4ut]

Lol
No. It’s more like an expression of shock

Bama at 6. Auburn at 1

I know felt funny typing it. But look at who Auburn had played vs bama....

You can argue Auburn has been the most impressive team in the country... So far.

It’s baby week! Maybe. 39 weeks today

Doubtful. If the standards are 6-7 wins then they better hang tarps up in the upper deck, a' la TBA. Also, as the team improves expectations rise with it. With each win, fans want one more and expect it. If a team is consistently winning 10 games but not challenging for championships, things go south fast. If you don't believe me, ask Mark Richt.

 

[Jackcrevol]

he already has. He literally said we need like 40 new players and need a few recruiting classes to fix stuff.....after we beat auburn and Kentucky last year lol

cmon man. No way Pruitt goes on a 15 minute rant.

those first six months.

The company, the University, produces a product, the football team. The fans, the customers, pay for the product. When the product becomes less desirable to the the customers, the fans, many stop purchasing the product, the tickets to see the football team, then the company, the university, loses money and if something doesn't change, the company, the University, goes belly up.

Fans do influence coaching hires and fires. I've always maintained, especially when it comes to UT sports and football in particular, that all decisions to fire are mainly made on a spreadsheet. The coach will be fired when it's financially responsible to fire him. When the losses outweigh the cost of firing and hiring a new coach.

Customers change products in favor of better value or quality.

So if we're saying fans are simply customers I can recommend several other products to you...

22 mins to keep from answering questions is different than going on a 15 min rant burying his players.

Don't disagree. The statement was about time.. That's all I was getting at

Fans are more than customers as they have a loyalty. But having said that, fans give up all the time. They may not find another team but they move to other avenues that they feel give them more enjoyment. We've already lost a generation of fans due to the dysfunction of the last 10 years. If you don't think ticket sales drive hiring and firing decisions then probably no need to discuss it further.

That doesn’t matter. It’s the message in the words. Both are basically saying our team sucks and we need new players.

you think its job of the head coach to project or convey negativity to the masses? they owe us jack.

That’s about all that’s needed to make the point.

 

[headhunter15]

Wonder if Butch would want that job?

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Please hire Butch and take some of his buyout off of our hands.
