Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[mr.checkerboards]

Freeze, Campbell, Fickell are out. Ok the list still isn't terrible. And honestly, anyone and I mean anyone including Catbone would be better than Pruitt.

 

[jakez4ut]

He would still been waiting had Frost, chip, or Gundy have taken it. He was their 4th choice.

I wish our 4th choices, any of them, worked out so well...

 

[millst987]

Chadwell

 

[BJWeeks]

I think where we sit right now is “don’t wanna fire him” but “we might be forced to.” Thats from a financial perspective.

If this were 100% emotional, he’d have been gone last year.

A lot of this is going to come down to Vandy and what the candidate pool looks like. Take Freeze out of the discussion, then assume Campbell and Fickell are going to get bigger jobs: that’s your list.

Freeze would take this job tomorrow. The entire administration needs to be fired if they screw this up

I heard Catbone is waiting on the Georgia job to open up

A parasitic amoeba

He's worth the risk. What more do we have to lose?

Freeze if the admin has the balls
If they don’t, Chadwell is the call imo
They will try fickle and Campbell but will be turned down

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Aaron Jones is so good

I wouldn't hate the indiana coach. I was impressed with him at the bowl last year.

Thats home, he isn't going anywhere.

Fine let Bass coach, but Weinke has to be on staff in some capacity.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Money talks. Bigger jobs talk. Never say never.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

If offense at the head coaching position is what we want then Freeze, Herman, or Sarkisian are the best bets.

 

[Jimmy Football]

“Intern.”

- Bass

 

[Headvol]

Ole Miss remembers too because that move put them on probation

Thing bout that is they’re still in better shape than we are.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Yep. It feels like we've been on probation for years.... and we ain't did nothing

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Every day the list of "acceptable replacements" gets longer. Still want Freeze/Mason combo but Tom Allen is an interesting name. Love how his players run through a brick wall for him. Like Campbell at ISU, he seems to get results with less talent.

I'd be okay with soooooo many names at this point.

Napier, Chadwell, I'd even YOLO with Healy right now.

 

[NavyVolsFN]

Freeze with gus as OC and muschamp as DC book it!

 

[Smokey123]

How has it been working out lately?

He had a top 15 finish and beat Alabama just last year. He also beat a very good Oregon team that finished #6 iirc. Meanwhile Butch is still fetching Sabans coffee

They’re not even close to the same level or have the same level of success. Gus has never even had a losing season

 

[Aesius]

Freeze with gus as OC and muschamp as DC book it!

Gus will get a HC job and Muschamp will go to Saban's Head Coaching School for Coaches Who Can't Coach Good.

 

[Batman1948]

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.

That dude just throws sh^t against the wall to see what sticks.

 

[JacketVol]

Nope I'm good. I dont get hung up on how masculine I am. But if it's what drives you, more power to you. Seems a little desperate to outside observer though fyi.

Go screw yourself dude. Better yet, screw u some Pru

 

[Geronimo]

If they do pull the trigger, does CJP burn the house down on the way out (tell current recruits to jump ship, encourage young guys to transfer, spread info about UT admin amongst coaching community to deter any quality candidates from coming, etc)?
