Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[GoBigOrange86]

Arkansas hired an OL coach and it worked out. We pay top dollar for Saban disciples and get trash. You’d think we’d stumble on someone at least remotely competent at some point.

 

[snowvols]

It’s possible if not probable that nobody in the SEC is allowed to hire him this year

Alabama was trying to hire him less than a year after he left Ole Miss. It's been 3 years now.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Look at the bright side! For those that like to keep up with when the players quit in games and blame it on QBs well .....

the team knew it was over when their leader JG went out

This is actually and excellent point. I didn’t notice it right away but you are spot on.

The minute BM went in their was no fire. Nothing. And nothing for HB either.

This team is soft. Ugh.

UT football has some demons and there’s only one man who can cleanse them. Reverend Freeze.

Tennessee is his dream job? Expand on that please..​

Chris Low is very close with Hugh. He has told Low several times it’s his dream job.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Could see Fulmer realistically reaching out to Bill O’Brien and Doug Marrone.

Bill O'Brian at least couldn't trade our best players away for nothing.

Partly because trades aren't allowed. Partly because we don't have any best players.

If Fulmer gets fired, that would tell me Haslam got back in charge of things and then there's no hope.

I don't think there's a big separation between the two now. Money talks and the Haslams have it and power.

 

[jordan4vols]

I would love for us to make a change to Freeze but the university is making employees take pay cuts across the board. How are they going to justify paying another buyout and then Freeze 4 million a year.

 

[KPT_VFL]

I’ll be redneck mad watching HF coach at South Carolina or Auburn.

 

[BAJAvol]

You can find the money. It’ll be the excuse you’ll here, but let’s be honest, they could find it. Fulmer isn’t willing to admit he made a mistake hiring Pruitt.

 

[aRmo]

Yup. Have to get him after this year of he gone. And UT will be ****ing stupid as usual

UT won’t hire him due to The baggage he brings. Also we don’t have the funds to let Pruitt go. Also Bug Phil is wayyyy to loyal. I mean he’ll look how long he let Holly Coach before letting her go. Stop getting your hopes up over a splash hire that ain’t gonna happen. We are gonna be the laughing stock of college football for a long time. Strap in boys

 

[Aesius]

Maybe Fulmer will consider the Pruitt hire a mulligan and be able to sell it as such. He had very few candidates to work with when he came onboard.

Let's put this fantasy to rest. It was good time but I'm just not up for another Grumors thread only to be served another coach in over his head.

Stop... the Crowning Pittman already is silly. He won’t have Arkansas in contention for anything.

I didn't think about the Holly situation, but that's actually a good point. If Fulmer goes down that road Pruitt aint ever going to leave. But Phil also did make a pretty good hire in KJH

 

[Vols2DaWall]

It’s gonna be so obvious. We keep Pruitt and HF goes to SC or Aub. It’s gonna sting

 

[KPT_VFL]

Yep then he will wax us every year.

Fans alone could raise it not to mention boosters. Let's be honest, if you attend a UT game in a typical normal year, you're spending well over 100 bucks before the day is done. So 100k fans would rather continue spending the same amount to watch the same old ******** than to turn the corner? Hmm.

 

[MemphisVol3]

My guess is Freeze would do it for a discount. I wonder what kind of staff he would bring with him, I would like to see Tee and Jay stay.

Agreed. Hopefully we would keep Tee and Jay and everyone else is open season. I’ve liked Nieds as a recruiter but he hasn’t impressed me at all as a coach.

 

[aRmo]

We also have to think. Pruitt was the only one willing to take this job other than Kevin Steele. The whole Schiano Sunday really hurt us for a long time. So instead of bashing Phil for making the wrong hire it was almost the only hire. But if fans want to get Pruitt fired complaining on this board isn’t gonna do it. Stop buying tickets. Stop buying merch. Stop supporting this university and force their hand.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Agreed. Hopefully we would keep Tee and Jay and everyone else is open season. I’ve liked Nieds as a recruiter but he hasn’t impressed me at all as a coach.

I said that a few weeks ago and got flamed for it. If Nieds cant coach any better I wouldn't be mad if he left. It doesn't matter how good of a recruiter he is if he cant coach.

 

[Girth Brooks]

For everything done wrong the past 12+ years, I implore UT to get this one right......

 

[aRmo]

Tee won’t stay. I believe he’s gone after this year.

 

[Kingston Vol]

I’d watch Fuente as well.

I believe he was Fulmer’s first call when he got the official AD job.

Friar Freeze is a good man. Deserves a second chance. NCAA won’t do **** will wade is still employed as well as Kiffin and Bruce time for UT to grow a pair.
