Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

You mean when they were dropping 8 deep in prevent defense and he checked down to the running back 4 times in a row?

Comon'. Don't be intentionally ignorant by referencing his passing yards on that drive, as if every high school QB in the country couldn't do that.

It's obvious Pruitt was right. JG still gives us our best chance to win. Is that a complete indictment on the coaching staff? Of course. Does that mean HB can't quickly surpass JG with a little experience? We better hope it doesn't.

But regardless, of the 3 QBs to hit the field, JG was the best of the bunch. That's just obvious.

Jarrett would have tried a go route to Palmer for a pick. Bailey took what was given to him. Even ran for a first down too. He is by far our best QB and it isn’t close.

 

[InVOLuntary]

It's not close. You should look at the numbers for that Sunseri defense. 8 teams scored at least 37 points on us. We gave up at least 37 twice last year.

I like you, so it's cool. But anything Pruitt has put out there is much better than what we got in 2012...as Troy just scored again.

I like you too but you can't judge just by points allowed. We'll just have to agree to disagree. I won't say that they are as bad as Sunseri but to me it's similar. Also this is Pruitt's third year. Sunseri in his first year was trying to totally change the defense from a 4-3 to a 3-4.

SIAP

Please cancel the game!

 

[Kingston Vol]

He never put it on the board til now...odd timing.

He won’t speak up against a coach until he thinks they’re dead men walking.

 

[butchna]

The fact that it is so important to you is what makes it such a sad scene.

I don’t feel sad. It’s not important to me but you seem determined despite your indifference.

 

[butchna]

He won’t speak up against a coach until he thinks they’re dead men walking.

Something like that? I don’t think they ever hold off on such intel.

Hubbs knows what’s coming.

Here we go with the spin cycle again!

- Hubbs

Well that doesn't sound like he was ever "all in" here.

 

[BruinVol]

He won’t speak up against a coach until he thinks they’re dead men walking.

I agree but I don’t think he’s done that here other than the talk about firing his assistants

 

[captainfalcon777]

This is Butch Jones level ****

 

[I4Jay]

- Hubbs

Wait a minute... Pruitt said if he loses his job here he knows Saban would have him back?!? GET HIM OFF OUR CAMPUS.
He’s coaching with a ****ing safety net. That’s damn awful. I never knew he said this. But it explains a lot.
That’s unacceptable. for our head coach to be talking about Landing spots. **** HIM AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO OVERLOOKS THAT !
That completely pissed me off.

Show his ass the door and tell him good luck with your old job.
I can’t even imagine an employee of mine telling me something along the lines of “I don’t need this job my old boss will have me back”

THEN GIT!

 

[volsfan_17]

Hubbs knows what’s coming.

I'd also love to put this quote into context with AP recently saying Freeze considers this his dream job, but I can't get the image of Hubbs at the airport out of my head. Makes me question how in the know, they might actually be to such decisions.

 

[butchna]

Here we go with the spin cycle again!

Again? There was never a first time. Whenever you want the responses to stop.

 

[scvolfan7]

I’m sure we can find a reason to fire Pruitt with cause. With all the covid protocols, he’s sure to have screwed something up at some point behind the scenes. He sure as hell did in public getting that fine...

I don’t know how to call bull on this without calling Hubbs a flatout liar...but it’s unavoidable. No way do I believe that Hubbs heard Pruitt say those words.

 

[Vols4us]

There you have it.

And has been since Joe Johnson retired along with Doug Dickey.

 

[UTK]

Auburn and South Carolina fans are hearing the same things.

Hugh wants out of Liberty more than he wants any specific job.

It's no secret UT is his dream job. Of course he will take a SCAR or Auburn if UT doesn't offer, but his first choice would be UT. It's well know.

Gosh that was classic

 

[Kingston Vol]

Something like that? I don’t think they ever hold off on such intel.

And understand, that’s an employee of the Vol Network saying he has direct knowledge that Pruitt was telling people he would be fine if he failed because he could go back to our biggest rival.

That’s not a small thing and Hubbs knows how inflammatory it would be.

 

[MarcoVol]

If what Hubbs said is true then even if we had the players and resources to beat Bama, I'm not sure we ever would. I can't see Pruitt celebrating a win over Bama while coaching Tennessee.

Were we not just applauding how Pruitt coached vs Bama last season?

That’s why I don’t believe him. Anybody who chooses to I can’t really blame...but something’s fishy.

That version of CJP seems like a completely different person than what we've seen this season. No fire at all.

 

[TrippieRedd]

People also forget we have extremely different dynamics at UT than at most other SEC schools. Donor in fighting....administration not wanting athletics to drive conversations on decisions...Academics that would rather see our football team fail than succeed......AD that only has partial internal support...A head coach that really has not been given everything he has asked for....an AD that likes to control things way more than people know...I could go on and on.

But until everyone at UT is on the same page and wanting the same goals...it DOESNT MATTER WHO YOU BRING IN....you will still have these same issues. The big names are also fully aware of these dynamics at UT hence why we don’t have big name coaches knocking at our door to come here when the job opens up.

I guess our Academics are basketball fans then, seem to be great there.
