Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

You've lost your mind if you think there are about 50 coaches could step into this position in this conference and do great things.

Right, apparently there’s only one.

So, De1 said this in another post, "For the record he was NOT ready Saturday and was only given limited reps still during the off week." Talking about Bailey. The fact that Pruitt had 2 weeks to get him ready and still didn't work with him any extra is mind blowing. Obviously JG is your best chance to win when that's the only QB that gets reps.

That’s ridiculous. What Is wrong with this bunch. That does not make a lick of sense.

I don’t know who needs to read this but:

We’re not firing Pruitt or hiring Freeze.

Porque no los dos??

Didn’t we add an extra practice field so we could get guys more reps????

You've lost your mind if you think there are about 50 coaches that could step into this position in this conference (with the current crop of other head coaches within the conference) and do great things.

What?? Lol. Butch was a handful of plays from being a borderline playoff team and a loss to Vanderbilt away from a bcs bowl. Pruitt is Gump and won 8 straight games.... you really think this job is that hard to win at?

It’s what makes our repeated failures so frustrating. Sigh.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Im still amazed at how better of an OC, Debored was then Chaney. Talk about pulling a hire out of nowhere.

If you judge offensive success by points scored he's the best UT has ever had in that position.

can I get a summary of wtf is going on

You’s gonna pay the buyout and we gitten Freeze. Hell yah Rocky Top!!!

To consistently win at, yes, I do.

 

[Skizer41]

I don't understand some of the things Pruitt does. It's not just this but last years first two games and it's preparation of lack thereof as an example. Idk.

I'd go a step further and say it's not just the first two games last year. It's also the three blowout losses to the teams he's truly judged against. And to be honest our 8 game win streak was teams we should be slapping around on the regular. Yet we have fallen so far it was viewed as a major achievement.

 

[Skizer41]

bull. there was plenty of it on display last year....you don't lose to who we lost to the way we lost last season, and then reel off 8 straight wins w/out having a serious competitive streak.

hell if you're a quitter, i think right after the BYU game would have been a good spot for "i'm out, sorry".....

the revisionist history on display right now, while i understand it, is fairly ridiculous.

Question.... Who quits a $4 milly/ year job when you get raises even if your performance is average at best? I'll hang up and listen.

If he doesn’t poop the bed in 2017 and gets that 2018 class, I bet he would still be coaching here

 

[engineerVOL]

I think we are missing Coach Fitzgerald on this front big time!

He was a huge loss IMO

 

[theutvolunteers]

I was so jacked during that Oklahoma game. Pain.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

Great now a donor named Ray is going to coach the Vols.

Ray J.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

Ray Handley

Ray Liotta.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

It's Ray Finkle isn't it.

Finkle is Einhorn.

If Butch wasn’t a total loser he could’ve had us at the consistent 9 win, every 3-5 years win the East level. His ‘system’ works better than Jeremy’s. The moment was simply too big for him, and his insecurities led to extreme incompetency.

Spends it all on his night time "hobby".

 

[UTProf]

The extension to Pruitt makes it harder to fire him

UT has the money. It's a matter of will not wallet.

 

[UTProf]

After reading more, I've figured out what our problem is. We don't have actual boosters. We have rich guys who like to give opinions without giving money. We need to cut them off completely --just freeze them out-- since they're are utterly useless and put an advert out for real boosters. I hear small poor schools like Ole Miss can give us pointers on how to find real ones.
