Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[headhunter15]

Osovet is a helluva coach. I think Pruitt promotes him

Joe O. was big on RPO’s at his previous job. Does anyone know how he is recruiting?

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

Last night I scared the bejeezus out of my three year old Lab "Knox."

Keep in mind he is super smart (can open and close doors on his own, can find specific toys by name when I ask for it) and is not scared of anything but the vacuum. Even fireworks don't phase him. Also, I've NEVER beat him. I've rapped him on the nose once when he caught a baby bird and had it in his mouth. I'm also pretty even keel watching the games. I'll will celebrate, say some "gosh darns" or "stupid refs" or "what the f***'s" but don't yell at the tv in anger though I may be boiling inside.

When Crouch ran in for the TD I jumped up of the couch yelling in joy in a dancing around. It startled Knox so bad he pinned his ears back and immediately hit the deck. I could not get him to move, he looked soooo scared. Even giving him treats, scratches and doing our "dance" couldn't give him comfort. Then when Gray got the onside kick a few seconds later I clapped my hands really loud out of impulse but tried not to yell with glee like I wanted it to.
Poor Knox actually start shaking uncontrollably. I've literally never seen him do that. I couldn't even celebrate the second touchdown for fear of his mental state.
I guess he too, cannot handle Tennessee games.

BVS is contagious. Protect your pets.

We need a better QB coach and better recruiters

There are only a select few that are great at both. Weinke........great at neither!

Keep Rocker.

 

[BucVol98]

Here's my favorite scenario, can Weinke, Johnson is headed to FSU, move Chaney to QB coach, hire a good RB coach and bring Osovet to an on-field role, as far as defense goes do what you have to from a recruiting stand-point but I'm pretty happy with on-field production from a defensive stand-point

 

[pierce60]

That job is built for Bill Clark

Apparently Billy Napier from one of the Louisiana schools is the name being said the loudest. Young, energetic....somewhat Kiffin-like

 

[Sleegro]

Might we promote from within?

Would love to keep YAC but if he leaves Joe O would be a really good replacement.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Gene Chizik ......a name that is being thrown around for MSU.

Lmao.

I approve these changes.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Wow.

He definitely was not a good fit. He should’ve taken the Rutgers job.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Chance for serious upgrades and all these are realistic:
McClendon for YAC
Bo Davis for Rocker (recruiting upgrade)
Enos for Weinke

Enos seems the least likely because only Pruitt has ties to him and this hire might be given to Chaney.

Going to need someone with heavy ties in Memphis too.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I don’t like this, but I won’t cry over it. Hope we upgrade there.

 

[chavisut]

You wanna go join Kiffin? Bye.

 

[BucVol98]

I thought Will Friend was Pruitts BFF. You only get one best friend.

This ->

Three Amigos.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Coaches only getting 2 years is ridiculous

Especially at MSU. But they did have some serious issues there

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

We need better recruiters

Fact

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

That block by Trey for the TD though.....

 

[BucVol98]

If we get Jay Graham that would be YUGE

 

[VolGee4]

Two gripes I had last night was our questionable to bad red zone playcall and our terrible clock management to end the game. We really left a lot of time on the clock - snapping the ball with 10+ seconds on the play clock etc.

I thought the first redzone series was bad but it got better. JG just didn’t execute.

As far as time, I was thinking that over too. Hasselbeck was correct in that when you go to wildcat, your guy back there gets ancy and doesn’t wait like your QB. We gave up time to get an extra blocker. JJ almost made it not matter.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Would love to get Jay back!

 

[volatil]

Gene Chizik ......a name that is being thrown around for MSU.

Lmao.

If they are smart they go to Gus Malzahn. Auburn probably let him out of that buyout just so he goes. He probably hates the love him one week, hate him the next roller coaster.

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Man Ainge really carrying water for JG this morning. Says he's fixable.

 

[yourstruly23]

Should be a pretty short list...
Jay Graham
Bryan McClendon
Joe O

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Gene Chizik ......a name that is being thrown around for MSU.

Lmao.

Probably a good fit for them tbh

I posted this in “Mullen to Dallas “

Weinke to FSU
Freddie Kitchens to QB coach at UT

We need better recruiters

Winning will bring recruits. Give me guys that can develop players so that we can continue to win. DJ was a solid recruiter but I’m confident we can upgrade as far as coaching. RBs weren’t great this year
