Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Kingston Vol]

Sure. The guy who can literally text Jay or Tee and ask them, or might ask Jay when they're golfing together on Sunday, is just wrong

Assistant coaches make recommendations about who should play at their positions.

They do not have the final say. The head coach does. Period.

"Please Chris, please play someone over JG! I'm gonna lose my job!" - Pruitt, probably

I’ve got some questions. Usually if you get a bowl game you get extra practices that can be huge for development of players. What is the plan for this year? Is it the same that I’d you get a bowl game you will get extra practices and if not you will not receive any extra practices? If so, when will these take place?

This quote says everything:

"LeBron will try to beat you. He definitely wants to beat you. But MJ wants to beat you in a way where you will be embarrassed to go on a ride home with your spouse after the game. He wants everybody in the stands, your friends and your family and your fans, to know that you can’t come close to ever beating him. He wants you to think, when you go to sleep at night, you won't even dream about beating him. He wants to tear your heart from your chest and show it to you and to everybody that is in the stands. He wants everyone to know when you walk out of the arena that he was the baddest man in a pair of basketball shoes that night."

Probably why he got his dad killed

Which is why I said it seems there is some disconnect. I don't think Weinke was deciding JG. It sounds like it was Pruitt/Chaney/Weinke's decision

You have issues

 

[drvenner]

No one will. This is nearly a game against walk on players

41-0

I’ll enjoy it, but I know what it is

I think we struggle and it's a game in the 4th quarter. I don't think we lose, but I don't think it will be pretty.

 

[Vol423]

Would just rather promote Tee if that was the case.

Great idea. After further wrecking the UT football program by hiring what was, by all accounts, a highly competent defensive coordinator as our head coach, thereby elevating him well beyond his competence level, let's double down. Let's now promote a wide receiver coach that hasn't even done a particularly good job with the wide receivers multiple levels to the head coach position. Why? He played at UT. He MUST be a great head coach. What could go wrong?

we may only have a week between our last game and the bowl game so it may just be a few extra practices.

 

[HankHill]

You have issues

It’s been widely talked about how it was a gambling debt revenge. If you read into it, it’s definitely at least fishy

Meanwhile at Tennessee...

....more cornbread.

They are in charge of rotations during the game


I’d guess that is what is being said by Vq

The name's Cornbread.

Beldar Cornbread.

If that were a problem, it would be a problem for exactly one drive and Pruitt would scream until it was fixed.

 

[pierce60]

It was actually a good article... the conclusion for me was:

MJ had a killer instinct - he wanted to destroy everyone - humiliate them and dominate.

Lebron doesn't have that instinct to that degree - he was nicer, more respectful - still wanted to win, but in a more harmonious way.

I’ve always wondered and I’m sure you’ve addressed this, but are you a fan of South African Rugby or the deer like animal?

Imagine if he had the same mindset as the owner of the Hornets. Instead he hands out max deals to role players. Still the goat tho

Uncomfortable truth - my morbid curiosity had me inspecting the inside of my leg for the wrong reasons, haha.

I had a friend who was on a car accident and had a compound fracture of his femur. He said he was playing with his fractured femur that had come through his skin with his fingers until the ambulance came and got him out of the car. Of course, he was drunk as H.E. Double ’s. LOL

I hope you have a quick healing.

 

[Dudley Smith]

There is no reason this game should be any closer than last year’s score of 28-3. Run the ball 50+ times and overwhelm them at the point of attack. We seem to be capable of doing that, and they simply don’t have the size, numbers, or quite frankly the inclination to hold up to it.

Maybe heave a play action pass once every other series. This game should be over in three hours or less and it shouldn’t be close.

 

[BruinVol]

Not sure I agree when it comes to the WRs or OL. Defensive Positions I think you are right but I bet with him being so involved with the defense that it’s hard for him to know how many snaps those OL and WRs are getting

This is where I am. VQ is arguing that the admin still care. If they do, why is this Vandy game even impactful at all? Everyone can see this is over. When are we going to show commitment and go out and get our number 1 target?

 

[scvolfan7]

uh-oh.....could fulmer have an easier out for some of these contracts/buyouts due to the covid fines?!?!?!?!?


View attachment 329582

Been saying we need to use this as a fire for cause. Pruitt got fined by the league for failing to comply with mask stuff. Bet there’s a ton of other stuff to dig up and use against them. I’d be a douchey move I guess but these idiots don’t deserve a buyout anyway

It shouldn’t be. What the hell does it prove even if you win 50-0 saturday? Like congrats you beat a Coed team

Stay tuned.

The only way I could see this as a legitimate play is if they can prove a lack of adherence to the rules caused a ton of players to get it or to be quarantined for a long period of time due to contract tracing.

Bass - to be fair we as fans have no idea who the number one target on the UT Admin list even is. I know you're all for Freeze, but that doesn't mean the powers that be feel the same. I agree that the floor should be Napier/Chadwell, but for me the first guy on the list is higher than Freeze, even if it's not realistic.

I think you can judge level of caring based on who's on the short list at this point in time, because that could dictate IF they even make a move or not. Which I honestly believe they should.
