Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[vol9799]

I can't see any scenario where Pruitt remains on this staff as anything but a head coach. Why would he want to be the DC at Tennessee when he could be the DC at Bama and compete for a National Championship every year?

I don't think he would and I don't think we'd want him. I was just trying to create some plausible scenario that got him replaced and still fit LA's criteria of not "cleaning house." I should have put the whole thing in blue font.

I do think based on watching him that he may have reached the conclusion he does not want to be a head coach any longer. But realizing that and admitting that publicly and doing something about it are two different things.

Recruiting dead period extended all the way to April 15.

A long cold winter indeed

 

[KPT_VFL]

2018 was the numbers they had. They won’t have 2020 until next year.

UT had a deficit in 2018.

That they paid from a reserve. We have money. We could find the money to hire Hugh Freeze and probably make it back all next year when we go to Atlanta.

I’ve been seeing a lot of infatuation with Osovet. Since he has been on staff we haven’t really seen any influence of the RPO. Given we can’t really do too much with given our QB situation, but I think we would have at least seen a little sprinkle of spread influence or some small sets to install to create mismatches, but we haven’t really seen that. Can some share their thoughts on him?

 

[MrVolton]

So I'm thinking a cancelled season might be the best thing for recruiting.

Starting Bailey and showing that we are capable of fielding an offense with a pulse would be better. But I’m like you, a cancelled season might be better for recruiting than another game with JG at the helm.

 

[secking]

Yo ,@secking how was Jeremy Pruitt at GA? Were the reports true? I also recall you saying you had close friends on the original staff. Did they leave cuz of him?

Some of the stories were exaggerated, some weren’t. Yeah, both guys I know are gone from UT now...

We need Hugh Freeze. We suck.

 

[secking]

Hugh would kill it at UT or AU imo. Proven he can slay the giant (Bama) and pulled 4-5 star recruits in one class at OM, would recruit great at either school imo.

[Jack Burton]

Simple, imo. The Hogs had a lot better QB than UT does and they made halftime adjustments, apparently we didn't. Doesn't matter what year the head coaches are in, those 2 things will win u a lot of games against teams like UT

Yep. We can’t recruit/develop QBs. We can’t make adjustments or make the wrong ones. We can’t win even with superior talent. Tells us all we need to know.

We have been trash for far too long.... I wish it would happen my man.

Just google some of his videos when he was the head coach in JUCO. You will be amazed at his thought process of running an offense. He's not gonna influence our offense, in his current position, on our staff. This is his first year as an on field coach for us.

Titans opening drive reminded me of those DeBord Dobbs drives that almost always resulted in 7.

 

[Sugaray13]

That's Joe Osovet's game. I would love for Pruitt to give Joe his chance to call plays.

But would he give him free reigns of the offense? I just wonder how much Pruitt has his hand in the offense now.

Those 4 and 5 star recruits were bought and paid for and that came back to bite Ole Miss. His arrogance was on full display when he beat Bama two years in a row and the NCAA came calling. I would hope he's gotten wiser and toned down the arrogance after his Ole Miss troubles. I guess time will tell. I'd still like to see him here though.

Pruitt is the one who brought him to Tennessee so I believe he would give him the keys to the offense when the time comes.

 

[SpringBokVol]

My only ask:

If we fire Pruitt it must be for Freeze.

Otherwise keep Pruitt and let him build for 2 more years.

If he’s got more than one finger in it...we know what it smells like.

My alma mater South Doyle is playing at David Crockett tonight in 2nd round of playoffs. Up 7-0 already caused Prince Kollie to fumble once.

Its even better if you have a mobile quarterback its even better.

Is he the ND committment? Interested in knowing why we were not in play there. He appears to fit the big back that CP likes.

Yeah....he plays RB/LB for them.
