Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

What we should have done to trask

 

[nicksjuzunk]

I'm surprised no one has commented (I'm 32 pages behind) so far on Murray saying something like "it's cold in Knoxville. There may be a Freeze warning." before they began to discuss how bad we looked.

Not sure if trolling or if someone in the AD is floating that to them or what....

Dave Doeren is 8-3 this year

Is he now making your list now with Tee and Ansley?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Freeze

Ansley needs to “Git” our DBs have regressed.

I think Pruitt is begging to be fired.

Watch him start JG at Vandy. Thin skinned weinie doesn't like his decisions being questioned.

I just don’t think he cares. He walks with 12 mil either now or 2-3 years from now. He goes on to coach at a contender and we’re left crawling out of the pits for a 4th time.

If this keeps up, Tennessee won’t have any fans in a few years. I see more Bama, Clemson and Ga bandwagon fans more than ever.

Tim Priest said the first half play call with Maurer was a very good call. He said UF put 7 in the box expecting Maurer to run, and the pass worked.

I did like that call because it's exactly the opposite of what they expected. If Florida really sold out, it could have even scored.

Unfit in demeanor and X's & O's . He is a defensive coach . He cannot handle more than that.

Wake up Phil.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

It’s weird I didn’t notice the slow release until tonight but you are spot on it wasn’t good

I commented on that a few weeks ago. Shrout looks smooth as silk. Still want to see Bailey develop. He's got promise but I'd rather see Shrout in the present if he can be consistent.

 

[zhangliao04]

Ready for A&M to deliver the coup de grace next week.

Why wait for A&M when you know that they aren't a sure-FIRE way when there is another way that is?

Wake up Phil.

That would require Phil to admit he made a mistake. Won’t happen.

I'm hearing some rumblings this morning....










It's just my stomach

 

[WebbCobb]

I would be on board with playing Shrout if he didn't have the track record he has. The kid is just as likely to have tonights performance as he is to throw 3 picks in 3 passes. TN football would be nothing without the consistency of being inconsistent.

I worry that we’re going to spend next year asking, “ why won’t Pruitt start HB/Salter over Shrout?”

 

[rekinhavoc]

I don't see them making a change especially after asking folks to take a pay cut. After the last two coaching circus searches it would be foolish to not have a coach already ready to sign the day after firing Pruitt.

 

[Memphisvol87]

-He has a great track record of identifying and developing QB’s dating back to his time under Pete Carroll at USC.

-Washington was winless the year prior to his arrival as HC, and had won something like 12 games total in the preceding 5 years. He was stuck on 7 wins for a few years, but seemed to get over the hump a bit in his 5th year before getting hired away by USC. It was a pretty solid turnaround IMO.

-Won 9 games in his lone full season at USC while still dealing with the fallout of heavy sanctions.

-Significant NFL experience.

I also think he would be pretty hungry for another shot to prove himself as head of a major program.

If we get another Saban reboot I’ll start a fund and literally found my own university between here and Knoxville and find a way to play the vols every year and beat them. Stop, repeating, the same, mistake.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Damn can’t believe JP is still the coach. What a group of losers

 

[Kingston Vol]

I don’t really understand the either/or discussion you all are having about Bailey and Shrout.

I think they both should be playing heavily to end the season as they both showed serious promise.

Then let the new coach figure it out in the spring.

 

[Skizer41]

Besides running the ball a little more I thought he did ok. However I think the run run pass is a Pruitt special. We did the same thing under Helton, and the same thing in the big games against JG. Pruitt will not be successful here unless he changes his offensive philosophy.

A side story to this, consider the source, but I was listening to Russell Smith on the Vol reaction half time show, and he was talking about JG's pick 6. He said he was told from someone who would have the knowledge that Pruitt told Chaney to throw the ball because we had run the ball too many times in a row. Now, think about that story and tell me, sometimes it doesn't seem like something like that happens. Pruitt is Pruitts own worst enemy.

That was Trey Wallace who talked about the INT by JG vs Auburn. And it's actually been discussed by other media types as well. And not only did CJP tell them to pass or run an RPO, the play they ran hadn't even been practiced by the team.

Would the hypothetical off-field issue do even more to prohibit us from hiring Freeze because of the nature of the issue?

 

[jordan4vols]

I’d be surprised if Vandy fielded a team this week. Only reason AM would want to play is this week is try to impress playoff voters (which Sankey might want as well)

Also, has something changed to convince you Pruitt is getting fired this year? Weren’t you pretty sure earlier that we would keep him another year? (Sorry if I’m wrong. It’s hard to keep up.)

 

[MrVolton]

Sark, much like Pruitt, is looking good because he has the greatest players money can buy right now
We must think outside of the box

He looked good before becoming OC at Bama. His current position is just another shot at validation, I think he would relish a bigger shot and make the most of it.
