Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[GojiraVol17]

Losing Wolfe is terrible for our chances at Ty.

That back injury that Wolfe has dealt with is not ideal by any means. From someone that played that position, you don’t wanna ever have to continue fighting that back pain

 

[BAJAvol]

You need to look in his thread. Ty doesn’t wanna play with those sissies in the ACC. It’ll either be us or Bama. He’s not even looking at Ole Miss.

Kiffin's been in that house several times. And Ty was a clemson lean at one point. I know AP said us or bama

 

[volatil]

To the people who want chadwell please explain why.

Not named Jeremy Pruitt. All I got

Also I'm not sure Coastal counts as a rebuild...Joe Moglia was 56-22 and his only losing season was 2018 after returning from medical leave (2017 Chadwell took a team that was 10-2 and went 3-9, granted 2017 was their first FBS season).

Chadwell I suppose deserves credit for maintaining the momentum from Moglia. Moglia did a great job there - he was a football coach in his early days, then was Chairman/CEO of TDAmeritrade for a number of years, then got back into coaching. Laid the foundation for them to get into FBS.

 

[LA Vol]

Yes. But most of us aren't worried about UF UGA etc right now, now matter how much we nash our teeth and complain those weeks. The issue is losing to UK, Arky, hopefully Vandy so the gump is gone, GA St, Byu etc...

Smart money plans to a goal. If the goal is to win championships-- and if you expect a coaching search, that's certainly the goal-- competing with our rivals for division and conference championships is in our five-year plan. We have the talent to beat lower-tier programs right now. We're not developing and utilizing it effectively, so we're playing beneath our potential. UT isn't recruiting out of this hole right away. We have to max out what we already have and build on it as fast as we can.

Yet. Kiffin is a helluva salesman. Don't underestimate his appeal, especially if we're floundering again next year.

Yep. It’s hard to be rational when the program is nosediving like it is.

 

[Ron Swanson]

I'd be very cautious about hiring a guy having a miraculous season in the weirdest season ever. He needs to have past history of success, not just Rona year success.

Fire Pruitt, Fire Fulmer, hire a proven AD and have him hire Freeze or some long shot like Stoops, Meyer, Campbell, etc or just turn Neyland into a soccer facility. Anything less is more of the same crap. Either they want to win or they don’t.

If at the very least Pruitt isn’t fired this month I’m out until he is. I have better stuff to do.

I just have a hard time seeing that kid go to Ole Miss. I could see Bama long before that. I think he sees through the cultist over in Clemson

There is legitimately no excuse for bringing him back.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

If we somehow manage to land Ty, I think the flood gates open on that class as long as we show a pulse next season. I just want someone to do SOMETHING. Either shuffle that staff or ship Pruitt out.

Ty is heading to Clemson

Smart kid

None.

 

[snowvols]

My thoughts on Chadwell as well. Vacated wins at the FCS level already (18 total) if you're going for that just get Freeze, at least he was doing it at the SEC level.

That was their compliance department, not him. They had one guy and he failed at his job. They said they didn't have money to hire more people because they fell victim to a ponzi scheme.

NCAA hits Charleston Southern with probation, loss of football scholarships for violations

Seriously, I’ve read it in two other places that he doesn’t want to play in the ACC

 

[GojiraVol17]

Smart kid

Put it in reverse, Terry!

 

[Jimmy Football]

Correct. And he’s about to sell our AD on the Will Muschamp 2020 plan.

 

[Weezer]

Correct. And he’s about to sell our AD on the Will Muschamp 2020 plan.

He doesn't have to sell. Fulmer seems more than willing to let things tank completely while doing nothing.

 

[BAJAvol]

Hudson flipping to ole miss is a nut shot.

I agree with you. I also agree we have talent, but don't have the coaches that know how to get the best out of its talent. I am 100% behind giving the right guy 5 years to get to Atlanta if he's showing improvement, recruiting is where it needs to be ans he's not a headache behind the scenes. Imo opinion by year 3 8 wins should be the ceiling of the program to complete that 5 year plan. This season has proven we don't have the coaches in place to pull off that plan. I see no reason the right guy wouldn't have won at least 5 this year.

Why would he come to this dumpster fire? That would be a bad decision. Clemson and Bama would be much smarter business decisions. UT is a joke.

Get Kiffin this year and he has a good shot at the 22 in state class. Wait and they go elsewhere
