Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[RikidyBones]

agreed

Sunday I posted our best case scenario was that Pruitt hates the fans, hates working for Fulmer and decides it’s time to return to his routes where he can enjoy coaching more. It’s certainly possible but I’m afraid not likely

Roots* and isn't his agent Sexton? He's not stepping down. They want the buyout money.

It's possible but IMO I don't see Fulmer making that move at the end of this year. Bad start next year would force his hand.

If he’s willing to do it early next year then why wait? “If things aren’t working out idk why you wait” -Jeremy Pruitt talking about Jimmy Brumbaugh

 

[engineerVOL]

That doesn’t happen when I hit it in the pond. Never thought about skipping it like a rock.

 

[Sugaray13]

Got a friend who’s a Ole Miss booster. If they love Hugh.

If he loves him that much maybe he will help foot the bill to get him to Tennessee.

Isn't Gus's contract buyout like some insane amount?

I think it is like $20 million.

I believe ours is far less for Pruitt, even with the extension and less than what South Carolina still owes Muschamp.

This article that came out right after the extension says we only owe him 60% of the remaining contract if fired.

Details of Jeremy Pruitt's revised contract revealed

 

[engineerVOL]

History tells us we ain’t getting

1. Rid of Pruitt

2. Hugh Freeze as his replacement


And yet here I am excited for no reason

Occupational hazard of being a Vol fan.

 

[Devo182]

Also, on Hubbs - he may be trying to keep traffic up in an otherwise down period due to fan disappointment. Nothing more.

Idk about VQ, but this place has been melting @frank's servers since Saturday.

 

[KPT_VFL]

A full week to only focus on Hughmors? Yes, please. It’s more exciting than our play.

 

[snowvols]

HB is never going to get his chance this year.

 

[BruinVol]

Roots* and isn't his agent Sexton? He's not stepping down. They want the buyout money.

You’d have to think so unless he’s just miserable which is possible

 

[Govolsman98]

Man it's hell for us right now. But what if hell Freezes over?

 

[theutvolunteers]

HB is never going to get his chance this year.

Damnit

 

[jakez4ut]

Don’t know if Pruitt is safe or not. But Hubbs, being a well known reporter for Tenn football, writing about a potential coaching search is eye opening.

or he's just feeding the fire that generates his site's revenue...............................................................................................?

 

[HankHill]

Interested to see what 2nd half adjustments we make vs postponed.

 

[Batman1948]

Simple question, why did Fulmer provide an extension?? This makes no sense.

Recruits like to see the head coach will be around for at least their four years. Without the contract, negative recruiting would at the top or every competitors list.

 

[engineerVOL]

I couldn't see a scenario where the old HC took a demotion to stay on the current coaching staff. I wouldn't hate it, but I don't think it realistic.

He only coaches half the team anyway. Could work.

 

[Catbone]

Smh

 

[HankHill]

John was a nightmare. I’ve never seen incompetence on a national stage like that. And we would have never known a thing.

Currie was a great AD up until Mullen spurned him. He saved a lot of jobs from being outsourced, brought the lady vols stuff back, had a ton of booster money coming in and all kinds of other stuff. Anybody that worked in the AD will tell you that he was going a great job.

 

[Dooby15]

Maybe. Not Hubbs like though. He’s pretty conservative

 

[BJWeeks]

Let's say Pruitt is fired and
USC, Michigan, Texas, Auburn, and South Carolina jobs all become open as well. Hugh is going to be #1 choice for most. Would he still want to come here over others?

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Man why do we always get screwed? It was a chance for us to give Bailey a full game. Now the rest of the season will be postponed and we will be stuck with the clown.

 

[Devo182]

Quick...someone text this to Fulmer!!

? It's just a random Ole Miss fan account. I mean, they are probably right...but it's not like the Ole Miss AD just came out and went full potato with that statement.

Fulmer probably knows it too anyway. Money, ego, image, many things at play here.

 

[SoilVol]

Sunshine pumper time! Another week of "fall camp" to get young guys and HB ready to play! Ole Cornbread doesn't lose to Auburn!

 

[RikidyBones]

You’d have to think so unless he’s just miserable which is possible

At 4 million a year? Idk man... I'd fight to keep it. But that's just me I guess.
