Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[KPT_VFL]

Lets play fantasy land for a minute. Lets say Auburn keeps Gus and SC decides they don't want to pay Freeze what he's asking. Is there any scenario in our wildest fan dreams that Hugh replaces Chaney as OC?

No. HC or bust for him. He will be the biggest name in the carousel in a long time.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Also can we go ahead and agree to not use the old “he was left with nothing” when he got here excuse like we do with all our coaches

Wouldn't be the case this time. When Pruitt was hired Cole Cubelic said that we had the worst roster in the SEC and then some. He wasn't wrong. But our roster isn't that anymore

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Heck, told them I would chip in if they would come up with enough to fire Pruitt and get Freeze. Let’s freaking go and get this done. If Phillip can’t get it done then remove him. Let’s start winning again.

Lets gooooo, the boosters need to drive this forward. Put enough pressure on and the dam will break.

Desperately need some edge rushers and DL to improve. IF and I know it wouldn’t happen but IF we could get Freeze and keep that whole class together it would be ideal for a coach.

I’m ready to move on from”DEs” that are so big they cannot rush the passer. You cannot have at minimum three guys that can’t create pressure like we do.

Stop. I will gladly take a natty right now even if it gets vacated 2 years later. We won it on the field and got to live through those memories of the process. That’s like saying USC hired Pete carrol for nothing.

Amen!

 

[mr.checkerboards]

No. HC or bust for him. He will be the biggest name in the carousel in a long time.

But where, im saying if he doesn't have the option.

 

[Weezer]

Just hire the proven coach. ..

I agree with that. I just don't agree with those that think an instant turnaround is a sure thing. It's not.

 

[rjd970]

Also, I honestly don’t give one holy F about morality and what not. This isn’t OM, Freeze wouldn’t have to be involved with anything. All he has to do is win and be competitive and the talent will get here one way or another.

Since when did Jacket become a booster?

Russell Smith from the drive says friends

If true, then its a no brainer to hire HF. UT can't afford not too.

 

[Rishvol]

Aww what the heck I got a dollar

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I thought hes mentioned he had connections. He's mentioned talking with Pruitt a few times. Also doing some stuff for kids.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Id easily give a few thousand to get Freeze

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I'll take him fishing. I'm a poor.

 

[Weezer]

That seems more like a punishment.

After 3 years, absolutely. No excuse to get blown away by Kentucky and lose to that Arkansas team in year 3.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

If AV is talking like that then the end is truly near...

Might be the end of our program, too, if the Haslams get back in power. Schiano will be hired faster than we can spell Schianomo.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I will lend my phone to Hugh for his ummmmm extra curricular activities

That boat has sailed. No way his name is ever mentioned at UT again.

 

[Kingston Vol]

It’s just weird Bc it’s not like he was climbing the ladder. Why leave an elite School coordinator job for another coordinator job? Once.. fine you never know what’s going on behind the scenes but twice?? Something is up especially in that short of time

Well, the reputation on him is he’s very hard to work with. Only Saban has been able to keep the shackles on him.

VQ seems to be hinting that his attitude has followed him here as well. Which is not surprising.

Everyone knows who Jeremy Pruitt is and always has been. Some were willing to ignore it because we went on that semi-inflated winning streak. And I’m not saying that to point fingers. Any fanbase will ignore character flaws for wins.

 

[Aesius]

Haslams would hire an NFL guy IMO.

 

[KPT_VFL]

But where, im saying if he doesn't have the option.

A power 5 school will hire him. He feels more like an ACC or SEC guy though. All though the right money he may go Big Ten. Doesn’t seem like his styles of play and recruiting base up there though.

Freddie kitchens come on down.

 

[Weezer]

Wouldn't want him as an unproven head coach, but part of me has always wanted Coach Cooter at UT just for the name, lol.
