Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[CreiveHallVol]

Still cheering for Vandy. It's a short term huge loss but long term better for the program. A necessary evil.

Take a lap


Never, ever root for the other team.
Sack up.

That’s the thing. There’s no sack there

 

[Volsfaninva917]

waiting on @Atlanta VOL to do a drive by --- I seem to remember he was saying some encouraging things a week or so ago on recruiting and potential staff changes... wonder if he will drop a few nuggets?

You seriously can't be excited by any potential lame duck coordinators Pruitt would bring in here this off season. Its also being said by 247 that Pruitt wants to extend several assistants including Will Friends dumbass

 

[TN-POSSUM]

He isn't my most hated coach.

I can't stand Butch - that smug cigar smoking car salesman.

I much prefer Pruitt compared to him.

Kiffin is the highest on my list of most disliked, ex-UT coaches, then Butch. Pruitt is working has way into that #2 spot though

Not true. Best thing for the long term health if this program is whatever gets Pruitt gone the quickest.

You can enjoy gump. I want him gone so we can get better as a team. Like I said, short term it's bad to lose, but we have muuuch more to gain with him gone. I'm playing 4d chess here.

 

[Dudley Smith]

I think though, to put it into perspective--- is that right now a Matt Campbell Iowa State would whip the 'ish out of us... so his #46 players (clearly developed) and staff are better than our #10-15 players and P5 staff.

That's not a very high bar.

 

[Orange Studs]

Shrout, Bailey and Salter will give us three solid options for next year. UT still hopes to bring in a transfer, but we should be much stronger at QB next year. We could've been stronger this year... but spilt milk.

But if nothing changes in the staff then there want be any development. So the QB's that have talent will stay average under CP. He sucks as a HC and should be ashamed of himself for even thinking about taking a buy out with nothing to show for his time here. I hate having to go through another coaching search but CP is not the one so let's just get on with what we all know is the inevitable.

And If it doesn’t but just takes away a few more recruits?

 

[Orange Studs]

One thing on Matt Campbell (beyond what is supposedly an enormous buyout) that gives me pause is that he has never had a recruiting class ranked higher than #46, and is currently sitting at #51 for 2021. I know that's at Iowa State, and Tennessee recruits itself, winning and players in the NFL speak for themselves, etc., but just worth noting that he is at best unproven in that area. Coming into the shark-infested recruiting waters in which Tennessee swims, that is a concern.

And yet wins with what he's got. Even more impressive.

 

[85SugarVol]

No, extending.

Wut

 

[Catbone]

And If it doesn’t but just takes away a few more recruits?

A risk we should take. What do we have to lose? We already suck

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Its sets him up for failure next year and we only have 1 more season of him

 

[GoBigOrange86]

We’ve had great recruiters. Hasn’t gotten us out of the cellar. Give me a great coach.

You sure about that?

 

[BruinVol]

AP said schedule change has to be today or Early tomorrow or isn’t happening

 

[NMVol]

Hard times make the trolls all the more obvious.

 

[MCScots4]

What if JG transfers to bowling green or pitt next year and we play against him lmaooooo

That would be a win/win situation for us. Either we beat him and get a win because he is terrible, or we lose to him and Pruitt is fired on the spot.

Disagree we don’t already suck next year. 7-8 wins is likely
Imo

Schedule change for what?

With gump?

 

[MCScots4]

He may do well elsewhere. He has the physical ability, but he just doesn't have the mental development here. Different coaching may change that.

he's had different coaching hasn't he had two head coaches and multiple co-ordinators/ QB coaches?

 

[BruinVol]

The vandy game has nothing to with next years success under Pruitt but does have a lot to do with recruiting imo

 

[BruinVol]

With gump?

Yep
