Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[TN-POSSUM]

Didn’t stoops have a Napoleon complex regarding SEC? Seems it would violet his code of jackass.

I would take him though

I don't understand your 1st two sentences (especially the 2nd one) but I'll put you down for a "yes" on Bob Stoops.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

You can’t be serious with Tee?!
When he fails you know it absolutely kill Fulmer to fire him. I don’t see it

Fulmer wouldn't be the one to make that move. He would be let go for hiring Tee.
But TN is at its best when a TN guy is in charge. Tee has been to the pinnacle and knows what it takes to get there. He has a reputation of being a good recruiter and ive never seen a coach talk bad about him. He would be a guy that could see the university, buy also be willing to learn from Phil on how to run the program. Last but not least, a black head coach in the SEC at a premier school, that would sell to recruits. Its not as bad as people think it will be I a very confident in saying that.

 

[Jackcrevol]

I guess we could lose to Vandy

Ok. Put the Vol card down. Youre done.

 

[butchna]

Can’t believe I am excited about coach mcgoogle chadwell.

Don’t think Google is required currently...unless you’re in Afghanistan.

Imagine a Tee Martin “national championship winning QB gets the job he’s always wanted” montage with the entire 1998 team at the press conference.

That’d be this x100000

I’ll say this about Tee or any coach we hire. I’m going to give them a legitimate chance to succeed here.

I will never say never, Ed O won a natty, and I don’t care the circumstances around it. Ed O won a national title, and I’d bet anything you want to that NOBODY at LSU thought he would do that. Whoever we hire gets a fair shake because you just don’t know.

Need way more than all that.

A great coaching staff is just like a business team. Rarely does an all star staff work - too many egos. A group of knowledgeable qualified coaches that are able to work together is the key.
Special teams involve every coach on staff, if a team excelled on special teams then often you have a cohesive staff.

I just spent two hours making hot chocolate bombs with 4 kids under 9. Sorry,
My words are mismanaged.
I remember Stoops was very smug toward the love the SEC teams got. He always felt superior and was vocal about it (he was a jackass).

But all things considered, I’d take the success he had year in and year out at OU.

SIAP but I don't recall us talking about this...View attachment 328398

Good riddance.

I'd rather him try OC in the SEC first or like someone else said, let him hone his craft at Arkansas State or Coastal Carolina first. Then call him up

We are at the bottom
We need to do something drastic to turn this thing around
We can’t go any lower

Had failed at Ole Miss and done well (on an interim basis) at USC. Way less calculated risk involved.

This right here.. You need role players, just like you need all stars. Gives balance.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Get him an Elite staff and let Tee be the CEO. HE doesn't seem to have the ego Pruitt does.

 

[volatil]

Does Pruitt get a bonus for making this bowl game this year?? Latest projections has us getting murdered.

I would've been fine with that years ago as well, but now its time to take the chance.

 

[butchna]

I wonder if Arizona ownership is growing tired of the Kliff Kingsbury experiment? If so, what would we think of him?

That he would have failed at Texas Tech AND the NFL.

That cleared things up.

I don't remember that but if Stoops didn't like the SEC's superiority, why wouldn't he want to join it now and prove he can win with the big boys.

If you can’t get Freeze, Campbell or Fickell. Chadwell is the next best thing, IMO. Now would TN pay Pruitt’s buyout for Chadwell? My guess is probably not. The extension put us in a bad spot.

Worst time.

Negotiate a lump sum buyout. Save on taxes.

 

[engineerVOL]

Let's see how he does at South Alabama and then a lesser P5 job first

Still want Fulmer to can Pruitt and let Tee be interim. Last bit of goodwill for he and the fanbase. Let’s him get exposure, so someone like USA takes a look. Then he can retire happy... maybe.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Worst time.

What is there to lose letting Tee try and build? Fans are already done and support is waining. Tee would be a name you can sell to the older portion of the fanbase.

 

[Hollovol05]

Pruitt’s bowl game bonus:
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND AMERICAN DOLLARS

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Better than Pruitt.

Anyone with a pulse is better than Pruitt
