Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Freeze.

Yeah, I've been pretty set with Freeze. There is also a good chance Tennessee thinks they are too good for him. Then you are in the successful G5 coach ranks.

 

[snowvols]

As bad as it is now, do you really want to hire an up and comer coach and turn around and fire him 3-4 years later? There's not a Rick Barnes waiting to fall in UT's lap right now.

Yes, Pruitt is about as bad as you can get.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

...we've ran 11 personnel something like 85% of the year.

I just laughed at Pruitt's comment if true. "We found our identity" once the other team put their backups in just wow Pruitt

There backups weren't in. And UF was still blitzing.

We've ran it some, but mostly on 3rd down, early we've been in a lot of 21 stuff with O lineman at TE. You cant win like that unless you have Bama and UGA level of talent.

 

[RikidyBones]

Yes, Pruitt is about as bad as you can get.

Don't say that. We've said it for three straight hires.

 

[butchna]

DeBord was so good, they let him walk and he was replaced with Larry Scott, who last had called plays at Sebring High School in 2004.

“They” as in Butch? He your resource? The offense was more productive under him than Bajakian and there was some semblance of OL effectiveness. Some high scoring and our best games against Bama, UGA and Florida including wins against the two latter. He got mocked for his job title at Michigan when Butch hired him and was our best OC since Cut imo.

It’s better than two wins.

 

[SpringBokVol]

I think each QB gets a half. Game will be over either way.

This is a scrimmage.

 

[snowvols]

Don't say that. We've said it for three straight hires.

And he is the worst of the three.

 

[Catbone]

Yes, Pruitt is about as bad as you can get.

Yes. Because he is so stubborn. We know we will get the same ole shi* next year.

It's simple. Make a move now or we face another 3+ year rebuild in 2022.

 

[m1al]

I've not thought about tomorrow yet. I might think about it later though.

 

[headhunter15]

So if UT looks stagnant and still wins, Pruitt is still the guy?

Sad times for the program.

 

[USMCVOLFan24]

This is a scrimmage.

For us or Vandy...JK

 

[UTSuave’]

Fulmer needs to get out of the way or drop the childish animosity...Freeze is the only head coach available who can say they have beat saban and thats the standard that should be set...that’s the goal.take over the F**ing SEC.

Best OC since Cut was actually Chaney, the first time.

 

[InVOLuntary]

By who, when and where?

It was a couple years ago. I think Freak was able to figure it out somehow.

Hugh Freeze. What are u smoking?

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

What do you think the players thoughts are on coach Pruitt? I mean, they hear the buzz regarding what a loss to Vandy would mean for CJP. Does anyone foresee a team that gives very little effort against Vandy similar to the Kentucky game with Dooley?

Not sure - by the accounts that I've heard, Pruitt is actually still well-liked by most players. That's always been said about him actually, even during his days as a coordinator. His players love playing for him.

That’s you being pessimistic and watering down the power of our program. If you win 7-8 games a year for the next 5 years you’re perfectly safe. That’s more than doable here.

Pruitt has shown to be perhaps the dumbest Hc in our history and even he won 8 games....

Baseball team did it to get Todd raleigh fired.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Just get this dumb azz MF Bama Gump the F out of here. Hire Freeze. He is begging for the job behind the scenes. Pretty simple. Slam Dunk just like hiring Rick Barnes

 

[KPT_VFL]

Why isn’t it Freeze yet? UTAD is stupid,

 

[Batman1948]

Tennessee gets this money and will be still shopping at The Dollar Store.

UT fans will be trying to get rid of their 2nd head coach after Pruitt by the time 2024 rolls around. That's when the contract starts.

So is there going to be one next year then? If so, who are you thinking?
