Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[millst987]

Fulmer loves TN football more than anyone on the planet. I’m sure what ever grudge he has against freeze (whether true or not) will be set aside if he thinks freeze can win.

Y’all are also big time under estimating how much Fulmer values his legacy. He loves to win, he loves the honors, and he loves the history. Him winning a title here as a coach and then leading this program to a national title in football would cement him as one of the greatest PEOPLE (not just coaches) in CFB history.

Been saying this
He wants to win more than any of us
He needs to remain AD because you can damn well bet he’s gonna do everything in his power to win at football. We don’t need another pencil pusher running the show.

“Build” isn’t the right word, but I think you have to be a good coach to keep winning at that level at any program. He’s also responsible, as I’m sure you know given your username, for taking them into FBS football. That’s a big jump.

Yes, but App had so much continuity amongst the staff and a developed roster that made the move to the Sun Belt much much easier. I would argue they were a top 3-4 team in the conference talent wise their first year.

I like Satterfield a lot and he’s a solid coach, but he certainly benefited from taking over the keys to a well oiled machine in Boone where Moore did the heavy lifting. We could do worse but I would like to see a larger sample size in a weak ACC.

@Atlanta VOL hasnt posted since Tuesday and no other insiders have posted since before the game. Hopefully they are either 1) helping out recruiting efforts with bags of cash 2) rallying the troops for a coaching search or 3) and my personal hope, both 1&2.

Freeze
Chadwell
Napier
Herman
Richt
Fickell

All upgrades.

Everyone is an upgrade over Pruitt

Everyone is an upgrade over Pruitt

Almost

You left out the best one. Rise above the hate

Well, now we know the wheels are in motion if he's hearing things. I mean he got us Cade Mays, perhaps he will get rid of Pruitt.

 

[Smokey123]

Fire Pruitt. Battle auburn for freeze. If we miss on freeze bring in Gus

 

[SpringBokVol]

ESD is irrelevant because if you try to pull that **** to lock half the signing class in, they’ll all get waivers to go elsewhere and we’ll look bad.

That’s a good point.

It doesn’t matter. So do it now.

But they won’t.

 

[Kingston Vol]

That’s a good point.

It doesn’t matter. So do it now.

But they won’t.

I think it’s 50/50.

I think it’s 50/50.

You hearing anything new today? Or you just been feeling that way?

 

[UTProf]

Be careful what you wish for. Vandy might kick our asses.

They'd be doing us a favor. No way Pruitt could survive that.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Playing to much Valhalla. LOL

Saw the final round of the Ryder Cup there a few years ago.

 

[millst987]

Fulmer has had multiple occasions to put all this to rest, he hasn’t

There is no guarantee right now either way

 

[UpstateVol613]

Their running backs coach is the one most likely to stay. Good for us as Graham is one of the best coaches on staff.

I am naming dropping. Daddy Saxon was a very good friend of my dad. Dad knew younger Saxon before he became THE agent everyone used. Nice family and Daddy Saxon is/was a Dentist. They lived in Memphis not sure where the Jimmy lives.

Jimmy lives in a house built from the contracts of failed Tennessee coaches

 

[Vols2DaWall]

There won’t be changes because our admin is JV

 

[SpringBokVol]

I think it’s 50/50.

I wish it was 50/50.

It’s like 90/10.

 

[volfaninpa]

Any rumors of Fulmer firing Pruitt and him coaching the rest of the year? I just got a message asking about that possibility.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

I would freak if we hired Satterfield. He’d be a disaster. Of course, THIS is a disaster, too, so whatever.

 

[millst987]

I wish it was 50/50.

It’s like 90/10.

You think maybe he doesn’t want out what his true intentions are the moment?

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Malzahn is 10x the coach Butch is. He went to a national championship with Marshall as QB, has won the West multiple times, has actually beat Saban and bama. If Malzahn was our coach in 2015 and 2016 we win the East both years and compete for a national title in 2016

How has it been working out lately?

 

[Kingston Vol]

I wish it was 50/50.

It’s like 90/10.

I think everyone is tired of Pruitt and wants to end this experiment. The discussions I’ve heard they’re having are basically “can we afford to do it now or do we need to wait a year and hope something changes?”

I’ve heard literally zero talk of “Pruitt is going to turn this around and we’re behind him.”

 

[gordonr24]

Calipari is getting his ass kicked by Josh Pastner. Losing 65-50 with 6 min left.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Ole Miss remembers too because that move put them on probation

Learning from mistakes my friend. Just needs a better system with the same attraction

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Have hubbs or AP said/responded to anything about Pruitt getting fired?

Since he hasn’t been fired, I would say they probably have not
