Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[SpringBokVol]

what’s the explanation for this?

I don’t know but none of them are good.

That first bump was pathetic. What are they pleased with? Damn!

Good coaches inspire better out of their teams. Bad coaches let this stuff happen and don't even think twice about it.

Don't disagree. Players also have to want it. Can't believe these dudes are gonna get worked and then not even take care of your guy. Of course that takes leaders and I'm not seeing perceived leaders handling business. One is in the shot

I agree. It's a disgrace.

The JG hate speaks for itself at this point. No reason to keep pouring it on.

He wasn't the answer. I've heard Basilio talk about how he's a great teammate and may actually have a future as a coach someday.

He gave as much as he had to this program. I will personally be rooting for him.

Yeah, he seems like a good kid. I made mention in a post that when Calbert went down, JG was out there to check on him and encourage him. He's just not a player, and that's where the frustration kicks in.

I cant tell who it is, but I believe its Brandon Johnson, the receiver closest to the line. IMO is most likely the "hot" read he's got to notice the guy lining up on the DE's hip and notice he didn't drop back. He then needs to understand he is the hot and get his head back around for the ball. The safety is way off the ball and there's an easy 6-7 yard gain there. If I remember correctly this was a 3rd and long play, and Pruitt said he would've like to have gone for it if we hadn't gotten sacked. Chaney may not coach it this way and I could be way off, but from the reading/learning etc ive done this is what makes most sense imo. But it still doesn't excuse the actions of the O line or Jahmir failing miserably on his job which is take the most dangerous man aka the inside guy.

Agreed on Johnson. It wouldn't have mattered if JJ took inside guy or not imo. Wright got worked and pushed right into HB and Cooper should be glad Cade was in position. His guy blew right by. It's just awful all the way around. The reaction after is just ridiculous

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Yo Uncle @greazy1722 whats your take on this? what’s going on in the locker room? is it divided

So the play is at the 4:50 mark of this video. Look at Bailey's head he's looking over the middle, but the receiver never looks at him. Somewhere they didn't communicate properly.

Completely agreed O line got whipped on that play. But its never a sack if BJ and HB communicate properly.

 

[Volsdeep4]

No, the explanation for not helping Bailey up and then fist bumping as you walk off the field

Oh they some weak hoes. Cox got a late hit twice on QB and no one had his back. Pitiful no fight or brotherhood in these dudes

 

[VolMike16]

I agree. It's a disgrace.

Yup. It's just wild to me.

 

[seaofORANGE22]

He should have never started so many games here. You gotta find a way to upgrade QB last offseason if you're Pruitt. It's gonna cost him this job.

I still don't understand not going after JT Daniels because of Simpson. Daniels will be a SR before Simpson ever gets on campus.

[TN-POSSUM]

Exactly. Left him there every time.

Selfish, rotten, and split. This is a culture problem that can't be fixed with the current coach. It's an infestation and it's time to move on from JP. If Fulmer can watch that crap and not make a coaching change this year, then we are lost as a football program.

The more I see, the less I want to see.

Edit:
This ain't the VOLS I grew up watching. I grew up watching my heroes playing hard for each other.

Antone Davis
Fred Weary
Chad Clifton
Bruce Wilkerson
Charles McRae
Harry Galbreath
Cosey Coleman
Scott Wells
And every other offensive lineman that ever strapped up for the Power T and gave their all are broken hearted tonight.

Unreal how low we are right now.

 

[Vols4us]

We will never fully understand all of the "why" things are the way they are (still). The program is what it is and it along with the fanbase has become a laughingstock. It cannot be bandaged back to health. Serious surgery is needed that requires cutting out all of the bad stuff and treating the wounds. You cannot do that using some of the same people that caused it.

So Phil is either one of the problems or part of the solution. His choice. Until the burn down occurs, just enjoy the basketball and ignore as much of the football program as you can.

 

[OrangenSC]

We love that you haven’t changed your tampon in weeks, seems like. You go from rarely posting to complaining on the hour, every hour. You need to chilllllll.

Ever notice how certain posters you pretty much only see them here when things are going badly? And the worse things get the more they post?

 

[Vols4us]

Exactly. Left him there every time.

Now I wish I had never watched it. Infuriating.

 

[tnhunter 10]

Hypothetically, if UT fires JP after the ESD. Then what stops the players from transferring out?
If you're going to fire him, why not just do it now?

 

[drvenner]

Yeah, if we're being 100% honest that Florida game was a chain effect. Tennessee should have beaten them which in return would have beaten SC, UK and Vandy. They would have finished 8-4 and Butch would have been here for another year at least

Lol, no.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Ummm is Duke basketball ok, they're almost down 20?

 

[drvenner]

I like you.

He can get you a discount at Applebee's.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Ummm is Duke basketball ok, they're almost down 20?

The answer is always no. Up 20 or down 20, Duke basketball is never OK.

 

[drvenner]

This Vandy game needs to be canceled
Who wants to watch this ish?

Me.

 

[Vols4us]

Are you handing out demerits for negative posts? I want some. Makes me feel like a powerful social media influencer.

 

[jordan4vols]

Well my Vols suck. My Cowboys really suck. Luckily my kids tee ball team won 9 of 12 games this fall so I got to see some victories at least.

 

[drvenner]

I wish my name was McGoogle. I would be making millions.
