Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Memphisvol87]

Read that earlier, and laughed. Such a dbag

He could be sued for performance issues on the contract. Which I sure weren’t part of his because ut ad is inept. He should have a clause that says he must put forth best efforts to seek similar employment to offset uts liability, not a 35k a year intern.

 

[Ron Swanson]

WTF are we doing?

Losing.

 

[BAJAvol]

Auburn 247 mods that you wanted to reference as as credible re: Freeze turned down uscjr, published a list of about 8 names. Freeze wasn't on it.

Hmmmmmm

Referenced SC mods not auburns.

 

[Catbone]

Freeze is 7-20

Now do Pruitt!

 

[UTSuave’]

Ok.....1-11 then. I bring nothing to the table and I don't work cheap

So support staff...bringing Refreshments

 

[MarcoVol]

This prob means it won’t be Freeze so that’s good

 

[rekinhavoc]

Auburn, South Carolina , Vandy were all able to fire a coach and pay buyouts. We're gonna pay buyouts on assistant coaches so our lame duck coach can go hire more assistants who will require at least two year contracts to come . Generating even more buyouts once they fire Pruitt.

Baffling .

 

[Bantha fodder]

Don't get in a bidding war with Auburn over Freeze.

Fire JP, hire Gus.

Gus would be the best coach in the East

I’ve never thought much of Gus. But, I’ve never looked at it from that angle either. You are right, he could be the best HC in the east.

 

[Catbone]

Unreal. Just terrible.

Sitting in my deer blind, I open Volnation and BOOM I’m 30 pages behind. Thank you Auburn.

 

[KnoxVillain]

Raise your hand if you are surprised?

*crickets*

 

[jordan4vols]

This whole bs about not being able to afford it went out the window when Vandy, SC, and Auburn all made it happen just fine. Don’t give me any bs about us paying off other buyouts etc. With endowments etc UT could buyout 10 coaches and keep on trucking just fine. It’s about wanting to win and UT has shown they don’t care about it so frankly why should I?

 

[VolGee4]

players are so f’n dumb.

No, they aren’t. We choose our doctors, lawyers, financial advisers, etc. based on relationships. Sure, we want them to be competent, but we also expect to have some relationship. Players do the same thing, and I don’t know why fans question that. Malzahn hasn’t been incompetent and has put players in the NFL. Nothing wrong with players saying they like their coach because they certainly know them more than we do.

Endowment has nothing to do with paying football coaches. But it’s still a point of discussion.

He'd do better here than he did at Auburn. The East is not near as strong as the west and hasn't been for a few years. It makes sense to me.

My qualifications have been:
SEC head coaching experience
beat Saban

That's Freeze, Gus, and Miles. (Not many in here like Miles either)

 

[BruinVol]

Why on earth does that tweet make you say that ?

 

[BJWeeks]

Its very possible that Pruitt has known that he will not be returning after last week against Florida. Administration has a plan I hope

Money can be borrowed from the university itself. As of 2019 it was 1.3 billion

What QB has he developed well? I feel the game has caught up to his spread tactics and has moved to such a QB-centric game that Gus might really struggle at another SEC job.

 

[CoalVol2020]

Gus gets half of his $20 mill buyout within 30 days.

 

[reVOLution33]

On the brightside, Harrison Bailey is completing 72% of his passes in his first two starts, thats impressive for a true freshman

But 85% of those are 5 yard passes.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

My money says he’s learned from his issues and he does well

Agree

Not saying he should ever be given the keys to Tennessee again, but theoretically, if he has learned from his failures, I bet he could be that consistent 8 win coach here with occasional higher 10+ win seasons

Oh well... second chances don’t always come

 

[UTProf]

Absolutely embarrassing that Auburn has fired Gus while we've done nothing.

 

[KPT_VFL]

But 85% of those are 5 yard passes.

Well at one point 60% of JGs TD passes were to the wrong team so I’ll take it.
