Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[KPT_VFL]

Very well said

AV I like you and the info you bring. You know as well as the rest of us he’s done. He may not get fired but the end is here for him. He has virtually no fan support, he hasn’t kept a game with our rivals within 21, he’s lost to Ga St, blown out by UK, all while having the most resources any UT coach has had in years. He’s refused to move on form the worst QB in Tennessee history, his defense has regressed, his recruiting class is going to fall apart, and he won’t sign a great class next year because he’s a lame duck and if I’m being honest all of this is happening because Fulmers stupid extension.

No

Then the University does not care about winning and prefers to have this dumpster fire every year.

 

[GojiraVol17]

So many of the posters

 

[VolsNUT]

Oh, so I misinterpreted your post about changes coming? You weren’t referring to a new HC?

Now why would you think about a coaching change? We're closing the gap in year 3.
Maybe by 2026 we can only lose by one score. My grandkids will have something to look forward to. I don't have kids, so should be plenty of time.

It would add a color to my rainbow to avoid a coaching search but it seems inevitable

 

[BJWeeks]

Going to have to do something to change the momentum.

I'm sure we have a 3 star locked up

We could avoid them if we hired good coaches.

You can say that again

 

[KPT_VFL]

Gosh dang it I’m agreeing with Kingston. What a turn of events.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

At least Pearl and Auburn lost to UCF tonight

 

[TN-POSSUM]

I hope we get another bye week this season. They're a real hoot

 

[engineerVOL]

Osovet will get fired during the game this week.

why I did laugh at this?

100% a sign hes not gonna make it. This team has had what 3 bye weeks? Defense still getting worked and the over paid OC can't even scheme 3 tds, bad QB or not.

I have no interest in watching this thing go down in flames for the fourth time this decade. If we are not going to make a change, I, along with many others, will find something else to do with my time.

The spinning of the coaching carousel is at least something interesting to ponder. Without it, we have nothing.

Maybe I’m just speaking for myself, but there’s no blind loyalty anymore.

Well, we’ll see you when you get back.

 

[Weezer]

I’m not praising him. I’m very disappointed in his coaching the last 4.5 games. But I am a realist. I know how things work. I know he will be our coach next year. Therefore I choose to support those men who are giving their all for Tennessee this year and next. Because to me that is the Volunteer way.
You don’t cut and run.

The players will always have my support. Always. I have never, could never, would never cheer for this team to lose. Ever. But the coaches aren't the team. They're paid handsomely to do a job, and when they fail at that job, there comes a point where it's time to part ways. Coaching is a mercenary profession, and results matter. I know Pruitt will be back next year. That doesn't mean I agree it's the right decision or that I'm happy about it. I'm well aware the university doesn't really give a damn about football or its fans, so they won't make the right decision. I won't abandon my fanhood, I'll always bleed Orange & White, but yeah, I'm a very disgruntled fan. I'm tired of the dysfunction, and it starts at the top. You can support the team and still be pissed off at how our program is run.

 

[drvenner]

So Fulmer and Freeze have a "chilly" relationship. Time to bring on the big man from the Bronx. Doug Marrone.

Wouldn't Freeze be happy if Fulmer was chilly. I can see him being pissed if Fulmer is secretly the Heat Miser, but chilly sounds about right.

 

[90 Vol]

why I did laugh at this?

If you have no choice but to watch it burn to the ground, you might as well have a Weenie roast.

Thank. You. Exactly my feelings

I love the vols so here I’ll be. Still watching. Not attending games but tuning in to watch our lashings on national TV.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Well, we’ll see you when you get back.

Not meant as one of those “notice me on my way out” posts. But I really think we’re on the precipice of losing the only constant we’ve ever had - the fanbase.

Letting Pruitt flame out is such a stupid move.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Ive watched this year, because when things are normal I get very few weekends off especially in the fall. I will support and follow, but my money will be spent elsewhere and the Vols won't be must see when I am off until they get their **** together.

 

[drvenner]

I legit believe Pruitt just became bound and determined to show everyone he was right about JG, and everyone else was wrong. That determination will cost him his job.
