Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[VolGee4]

Something tells me Rhule wouldn’t mind coming back to college after they go 4-12

They have been in alot of close games and played most of the year without their star player.

 

[Devo182]

I don’t know. Sankey’s supposed to have a press conference at 6 tonight. I’m worried it may be related to basketball, or a cancellation of the rest of the football regular season. Just speculating though.

The season is over?! Then no more excuses waiting to fire Pruitt!

 

[Jimmy Football]

It will be BBall is canceled, because we have a really fun and great team, and that is Tenn and our luck.

Football will still be a go, of course.

My feeling is they would not make the same mistake the Big Ten made with football. But, you know, Tennessee and stuff.

 

[MarcoVol]

Kicking Tennessee out of the conference for being incompetent

Lol relegated to C-USA

 

[mr.checkerboards]

What in the world will this be? Season cancelled?

I think so. Rest of football, maybe besides SEC champ game cancelled. Basketball season suspend until after the first of the year imo

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Ending the moratorium on Freeze.

One can only dream.

 

[rjd970]

It makes no sense to fire Pruitt, unless you have a guy lined up ready to take the job. And at this point I don't think the options available are worth it. That may change, but given the current pool of coaches, I don't see it.

That is really hard to swallow while we are sitting at 2-6 with record-breaking double digit losses and a collapsing recruiting class.

Probably shutting it down and just going to have Bama vs UF on the 19th.

Probably Alabama has multiple Covids, so SEC championship move to Dec. 26 and playoffs moved also

What??? Plenty of better coaches who would come here. Pruitt is the worst head coach we have had here and we should keep him? Whoa...

 

[WebbCobb]

We are relegated to the Sun Belt

Straight swap: UT out, Memphis in

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

We are relegated to the Sun Belt

Move us to the ACC. Even Pruitt could probably win 7-8 there.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Fulmer and Pruitt after Phil informs him he's gonna continue to coach in 2021.

 

[Batman1948]

If Fulmer really allows him to revamp staff then that means Fulmer is promising Pruitt two more years. Any new assistant is going to require a 3 year contract and assurance that Fulmer has Pruitt’s back. This would line up with reports that Fulmer sees this as a 5 year rebuild. I am not saying this is the right move, but it does line up with previous reports.

Do we have any assistants now that are on 3 year contracts? I thought they were on 2 year contracts but I could be wrong.

I hope they have been working on this behind the scenes. If not then they will lose more money next year

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I know these guys get a lot of flack, but I wonder if they've heard something.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Signed a deal with the Cartoon Network to broadcast certain football games.

Trying to drum up more listeners probably.

Original staff had 3 year. Weinke and Friends expire. Nieds was extended.

Stopped reading at “It makes no sense to fire Pruitt.” A lot more reasons to fire him than to keep at this point. Once the recruiting falls off it’s over. Had he been able to hold this class maybe keep him. We’ve seen this movie before with Dooley and Butch.

 

[Batman1948]

Hate losing those 3 star recruits who haven't played in a year and are coming off major surgery

 

[Dudley Smith]

Something tells me Rhule wouldn’t mind coming back to college after they go 4-12

Supposedly Rhule has some enormous buyout with the Panthers, like $40 million or so. I haven't been able to confirm that with some superficial googling..

 

[Ace]

They do not know anything.

 

[I4Jay]

You don’t need to have a replacement in line

You need to cut bait quick.

The biggest mistake an executive can make is not correcting the obvious mistake.
Hiring Pruitt was a mistake, keeping him around is an even bigger mistake

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Crazy thought, but with the B10 announcing Ohio St will be eligible for conference champ game, could it be TAMU vs Ohio St?

 

[Batman1948]

I have no idea why Salter is still committed, baffles me honestly.

Probably because he knows way more than people think they know
