Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[snowvols]

Nothing to see here. Recruiting is going great. Let’s give Pruitt more time.

Gotta give him the chance to lock down that 22 class.

Right. Should be a piece of cake.

If the Vols crush Vandy & AM the off-season wiil be much more fun. I mean we are allowed speculation over here, aren't we?

 

[FranklinVFL]

When the current standard is bottom of the SEC that progress. Not where we want to be long term but it's a start.

No...actually, that is not a start. When the standard is the bottom of the SEC, that is not progress, That is likely the end of the end of the program.

Different paths - exact same spot - Dools, Botch, Jeremy. Common denominators of the failures of the program: UT, major boosters, wannabe coaches, players they recruit. All the rest is noise.

The fanbase, tradition, and enthusiasm declines significantly with each failure. It's up to us to support or not support. Boosters enhance revenues. Fans and as a result, television, drives revenues. That's what sustains successful programs.

They are slowly killing the goose that laid the golden egg.

Sounds like the state of California.

Smashing a team with 45 scholarship players says nothing and there is no universe where we smash A&M or win for that matter.

 

[FranklinVFL]

Hugh Freeze had two losses to Vandy in his 5 years at OM. Are you out on him as well?

Losing to Vanderbilt should be an automatic disqualifier. I don’t care who you are. Heck, Butch beat UF and UGA in the same year and couldn’t beat Vandy with a Sugar Bowl on the line.

Fair point about Vandy. Let's say we "finesse" them then. Otherwise pfft....

 

[Orange Studs]

All good, recruiting is going great.

A sign of things to come.

 

[VolGee4]

I subscribe to the “you’re not allowed to complain about your team for 5 years post championship” theory so I agree.

This would not have gone over well in 99, 00, and 01.

 

[RikidyBones]

Fk this. I'm gonna go watch Ancient Aliens

 

[UTK]

I would take a 3 year bowl ban if it meant winning a title. Maybe 5 honestly.

Hell. 10

 

[scvolfan7]

Hell. 10

We’ve gone through 12 years of nothing. We can easily handle 10 for a natty

 

[Dooby15]

AP when asked if Hudson Wolfe was solid.
"Something I’m monitoring. It’s shaky imo. Ole miss has thrown to TE a lot. They are putting up points."

It’s time

 

[drvenner]

Will Wade and his punchable face are still coaching.

 

[UTK]

It’s time

Fantastic

 

[gordonr24]

If Pruitt is back next season, I’ll be checked out.

 

[drvenner]

Trey isn't a leader. Not all players are. That doesn't make him a locker room cancer.

I would add that he is not a vocal leader. He may well lead in other ways we never see.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

If Pruitt is back next season, I’ll be checked out.

So will half our team.

 

[JacketVol]

So...hypothetically Fulmer and Pruitt are gone soon...give me a top 3-5 coaches you think would be a good fit? Also who’s your guess for next UT AD?

Next AD needs to be David Blackburn. Come at me. Don't care what happened before. Get over it and get the hire right this time.

 

[CoalVol2020]

If Pruitt is back next season, I’ll be checked out.

He gives us the best chance to win

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Next AD needs to be David Blackburn. Come at me. Don't care what happened before. Get over it and get the hire right this time.

AD: Blackburn
HC: Freeze
OC: TBD
DC: Muschamp or Mason | Steele would maybe be my # 3

 

[tnhunter 10]

Mark Ingram’s more proven and ever bit as connected to the program...if not more.
