Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

Saban goes to FSU., Butch takes over at Bama...I'd give my 1st born for this....

I will contribute your second born for good measure.

Oh man, watched Pruitt’s post-practice presser from yesterday and he was as ticked off as I remember seeing him for awhile. Said he wasn’t happy with the effort at practice for the first time in a long time.

My hunch is that since around 8am yesterday, you don’t want to be anywhere in that man’s line of sight.

Lord have mercy on the Wildcats.

Go back and watch last weeks Monday and Wednesday pressers vs this Monday and Wednesdays. Last week Pruitt gave his best pressers to date. He seemed like a load was taken off his shoulders.
This week the old Pruitt has returned. On edge, snippy, rather arrogant.

Weird. Also Schiano making all these “demands”. Something behind the scenes up there must be really out of order.

Schiano thinks higher of himself than to go back to where he has no shot at being better than 3rd in his division. Hard to blame him.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

And there it is. Butch Jones is going to ride that UT gravy train to the end of the line. Sexton will keep putting his name out there, and Butch will feign interest in jobs,; they'll make sure his "interest" is appropriately publicized, then things somehow won't "work out" and Butch will continue cashing that check.

Saw where people were saying that we should do like Arky did to Bielema and stop paying Butch's buyout. Not gonna happen with Sexton in play. We are his b****.

 

[Batman1948]

Damn, we are beat up right now

Every team is pretty much beat up right now. The difference between us and most other teams is depth.

They had a week off as well.

 

[LA Vol]

which is the same exact thing 99% of the public would do.

Well, then, aren't we lucky America still has 1% who have character and would rather work than weasel their way to a handout.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Who all thinks Maurer starts this Saturday or will Pruitt go with his safe pick JG?

Think Maurer starts, but when he makes a bad decision like Shrout did last game, we see JG next series, until he screws up, and so forth. Thats how CJP determines his QB rotation.

 

[LA Vol]

JG off the bench. Maurer didn't have a good practice week. JMO. But CJP generally plays those who practice well.

Wish we would tell Butch F U and give the rest of his buyout to the student athletes who’s careers he ruined.

Greaaaaaattttt

 

[Vols4us]

Have you been around the program this week? If so, any comments as to the energy in the locker room? Do you think we win big on Saturday? I do.

Been in the lowcountry for a few weeks, but I spoke with a VFL friend who says the team mood is good with the older guys setting the tone. Pruitt knows how to manage the guys they need to play who are nicked up.

IMO, Chaney's got this and our D continues to throttle regardless of who their QB is.

 

[HankHill]

Schiano thinks higher of himself than to go back to where he has no shot at being better than 3rd in his division. Hard to blame him.

If he’s wanting to be a HC again he may not have anymore options.

 

[NashVolDavis]

JG off the bench. Maurer didn't have a good practice week.

Yeah, well JG didn’t have a good past 4 years. Ugh, It’s just no fun to watch #2.

 

[tnhunter 10]

This week has just sucked between Hardy and the practice report yesterday. I'm just not having a good feeling and I'm usually not negative.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I'm more interested in who's healthy and starting on the OL

Trey & Brandon are the only two for certain starters I can think of, I'm sure each are nursing somethings but seem the healthiest on the line.

Wright still hobbling, Morris with the shoulder

Carvin going to get a start? I actually think he's played really good lately. Maybe the guy at RG? Calbert I'm sure starts somewhere if he's healthy, what about Jahmir?


I'm asking if anyone knows...not just speculating. We need to be able to have a MSU type rushing day at Kentucky I think to win. Cause we'll need to keep our defense as fresh as possible since we know Kentucky will basically try to run and milk the clock on us.

 

[HankHill]

And there it is. Butch Jones is going to ride that UT gravy train to the end of the line.

Can’t say i blame him. Best job in the world is one that pays you to leave. Just hang out at bama. Watch film, don’t recruit, get paid a nice chunk by your Ex.

 

[Jack Burton]

This dude will never be a head coach again. He’s tainted and AD’s know it

Anyone who reads Mattingly/Summers book “reVOLution” will understand why. Butch Jones never be a HC again unless the AD is willing to deal with the liability.

 

[chargervol]

Well, then, aren't we lucky America still has 1% who have character and would rather work than weasel their way to a handout.

It's definitely more than 1%. My former company paid for a long term disability compensation that was impressive by any standards.
Almost everyone that had to resort to using it, would end up returning to work well before they had to, even when you could clearly see they should've taken longer.

I'm sure area has an influence, some regions still seem to push the pride and making your own way a little more, percentage wise. But still, it was surprising to see how many had that stance. Butch simply isn't one of them.

Edit: And obviously neither is Hank

 

[drvenner]

I was agreeing with you lol.

I think I figured that out. Please forgive me. I'm old

 

[Ron Swanson]

They had a week off as well.

No excuses, play like a champion.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

JG off the bench. Maurer didn't have a good practice week. JMO. But CJP generally plays those who practice well.

We will lose then.

 

[ionaVOL]

JG won't start IMO but will get the most snaps unless Maurer comes ready to play. I also think we see at least 3 QB's, including Jennings and possibly all 4.

 

[KokoBVol]

Weird. Also Schiano making all these “demands”. Something behind the scenes up there must be really out of order.

Their athletic department is currently a s*** show.

 

[Ron Swanson]

We will lose then.

BS. Chaney has proven he can scheme the play calling to win with any and all of the 3 QB's. And the defense is playing lights out. Find a way to score 20 points and get ready for the next game.
