Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[volatil]

What article?


And I don’t buy it unless it’s hubbs

The one just posted. My response is to that. I agreed with you that he’s more than likely coming back though. The “inside source” said lose to Vanderbilt and he’s done in that article. I just don’t understand why that would make a difference.

“Opt out” rolls off the tongue so much better than saying “I quit” doesnt it?!? Lmao

To be fair, Mike Leach is also in year 1 with next to no off-season to get that team bought in or familiar with his brand of ball. Everywhere Leach has been it's always been year 3 or later before things "click" it seems.

But to be fair he has already beaten a top 10 ranked team in his first season there.

That's because Leach is so scheme dependent. He doesn't adapt his offense to his personnel; he forces the scheme onto his personnel, and it's 3+ years before he gets a team made up solely of "his guys."

I've always thought it was kind of ironic that he has this reputation of a "think outside the box" coach, but that's just because he runs a unique scheme. He doesn't think outside his own box at all.

Just saw TRob is not being retained.. put him at DB or safety and Ansley at the other

 

[BruinVol]

I hate This “opt out” bs



Why isn’t this being presented as a player with an injury that isn’t able to continue and remains with the team?

I’m with ya.

Going back over the coaches we’ve had post Fulmer, the mistakes made were easily avoidable.

Kiffin-it’s My belief that has it not been USC, he may still be here to this day. I believe he regrets leaving here and would come back tomorrow. So the admin can’t be blamed on that.

Dooley- impatience. I believe leaving Kippy Brown in as an interim for that year would’ve saved us the last 10+ years of heartache. We would’ve had more time to thoroughly vet a coach and made a great hire. But the lack of patience cost us.

Butch- we almost got it right. He fits the modern day coach description except for several personal problems that we couldn’t have predicted. Allowing the demise of the S&C program is absurd and unheard of. That removed the element of accountability and discipline required to be elite. His unwillingness to take his hands off and allow his coaches to coach did him in. (We’re seeing the same thing with Pruitt.)

Pruitt- he was the tallest midget. With the coaching search debacle, we felt lucky to have him. Everything we were sold about him sounded great and made sense. But at the end of the day, he’s never been a HC and it’s showing big time. He looks and sounds in over his head. Plus, he couldn’t be more of a Bama homer. That’s never sat well with me. At no time should a program like TN hire a coordinator to be a first time HC. Lesson hopefully learned.

All of that being said, if we will apply what we’ve learned from these hires, we should have a good blueprint of what will work and what won’t.

But we’re Tennessee. So...

On Kiffin: I never vilified him for accepting his dream job. I resented the attempted pilfering of EE’s using university issued cell phones and the social media trolling going up to his FAU stint. I agree that he has revisionist regret from leaving us and I also maintain that had a ****** coping mechanism for dealing with that regret.

Good, dead freaking weight this season.

This reads way harsh I just realized. I love Brent, but whatever has been going on with him this season he probably should have opted out sooner to get resolved. If he returns healthy next season I expect he'll have a great season.


Still been tough to watch his struggles this year.

 

[Batman1948]

I’d play both Bailey and Salter the remaining games and if they keep impressing, then I’d would skip bringing in a transfer QB.

I don't think the NCAA would be too happy with us playing Salter in our remaining games

That’s not really it. It’s the equivalent of Georgia tech running the option for years now they are trying to play traditional offense. Switching to or from complete air raid is different. WRs and OLman needed are totally different.

Yet they are still competing with 40 scholarship players while we are just happy to score a garbage TD against the worst Florida defense in a decade.

 

[butchna]

I know it, buddy. Can't wait to down a few Bud Lights in Section P with you as we watch Jason Candle's Vols struggle with Vanderbilt.

Plebe water.
- Gucci prolly

Pruitt could probably save his job if he appealed hard enough to blue checkmarks on Twitter with that move. UT would never dare upset them.

 

[BruinVol]

Imagine making a decision about the direction of the program based on a win or loss to a winless Vanderbilt team.

Freaking joke

I don’t see a link ?

 

[butchna]

That makes no sense. Is he going to PRACTICE kicking?

 

[bluegrasser]

I wonder what the “struggles and hardships within the program” are that are significant enough to influence a starting player to opt out in order to best rehabilitate.

 

[vol494]

 

[TrippieRedd]

No ****.

God, he getting worse than Butch.

 

[snowvols]

We good. How can you complain when we are topping Mike Leach scoring magic?

Well, they only have 45 players....

That's exactly what I just said. Leach doesn't really have the personnel yet to run the Air Raid, but he's doing it anyway. That's how he rolls.

 

[Blake25p]

We’ll see about that

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Hahahahahahahahaha

I had worse post I had to delete


I read “opts out” and thought that meant he quit. I don’t understand why this is an “opt out” when it appears be an injury and he’s going to play next year. It’s a damn injury and not an “opting out “

The fact that he couldn’t incorporate the SEC’s leading returning rusher into his scheme screamed volumes.

 

[Smokeytom]

Fix the dynamic and we'll be better at QB. UT has a lot of problems, but that one has been fixable all along. Anyone who watched practice last year knew Shrout had a higher ceiling than others.

lmao these coaches are clowns
