Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[DustyRockSolid]

I Steele can’t believe Auburn would do this to themselves.

If we got gus, would you consider that a steele?

 

[Weezer]

Sadly he will have been deceased for a year as of Friday. But if we're going to the Voodoo route... let's get Tom Landry.

If we're bringing anyone back from the dead to coach the Vols, we're starting with the General.

 

[Nuctech777]

Any list without Coach Herman is suspect. Herman Boone that is.

Dude! His list included God, a fake tv head coach, and Don Shula, who passed away May of 2020. Wtf

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Say what y’all want but Steele has been saving Gus for a couple of seasons now.

In what world is it a blackeye for a HC to identify a great DC for his staff hire him and keep him?

 

[JohnnyD1024]

9-3 last season with freshman Bo Nix and beat Alabama...if that's "exposed" then sign me up. Ya'll are comical.

Also beat an Oregon team that won The Rose Bowl and finished 5th in the nation last season.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Y’all gotta pick one lol but who y’all taking, Will Friend or Don Mahoney

 

[Geronimo]

Sadly he will have been deceased for a year as of Friday. But if we're going to the Voodoo route... let's get Tom Landry.

So is Don Shula but details...

 

[SpringBokVol]

If you are going to hire Steele then name him interim for year so you try before you buy. It’s genius.

 

[jpope9]

If Freeze isnt an option, I would gladly take Gus.

 

[Jack Burton]

Randy Sanders is #1 on Fulmer’s list.

 

[Weezer]

Technically, his list included Maybe God. Not sure Maybe God and God are the same.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I mean Gus is more reasonable a candidate than Freeze, right now.

But I'd honestly probably want Matt Campbell, feel like he's built from nothing twice and may be hungry to do it on the biggest stage. I'm still not sure he'd fair better than Gus or Freeze, but if I wanted to go with someone who hasn't done it in the SEC before he's the top of the list.

 

[NoogaVol96]

That is so interesting to me. Why so quite. And that riddle Atlvol left I am still scratching my head over that one. lol

Riddle?

Those should be the 3.

@Atlanta VOL Say something, anything.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Randy Sanders is #1 on Fulmer’s list.

Checks several boxes. VFL, offensive guru, QB whisperer.

 

[SD189]

Ok ok... you're right.

 

[SLICKYINC]

In what world is it a blackeye for a HC to identify a great DC for his staff hire him and keep him?

See, you missed the point. Has absolutely nothing to do with his ability to identify good coaches. Has everything to do with those guys saving his 6 play non-QB developing ass.

 

[BruinVol]

I understand wanting Freeze here but I can’t understand the hate for Malzhan.

Same guy

I would love to have Gus but he and freeze are far from the same guy. Freeze has never coached at a place that expects playoff years and failed to achieve the amount of success that school requires. In that aspect freeze hasn’t coached in the “big leagues “ yet

 

[Volsfaninva917]

According to who is it going to cost more keep him one more year? What is the basis of that calculation?

What established source says we are going to borrow money against TV?

General fund or Athletic Dept has the endowment?

How did you establsh that covid is not stopping firings? Let's compare this year to avg data in a few weeks and see where we are. How many coaches has AU been paying the last couple of years? Last Butch check next month and we did not get a COVID discount on those payments. We also pushed out some facilities upgrades this year if my memory is correct.... if not correct by assertion. It is harder to trade cars when you are under water, have big repair bills., and your income takes a COVID hit.

1. There was a breakdown a few weeks ago, it used the finances right off the UT website to break it down. It doesn't take rocket science to figure out no one is going to be excited if this guy comes back next year and that will cost UT money. Not to mention you'll have to hire a whole new pool of assistants which will cost between 9-12 million, then when we fire the ass hat next year we will owe a lot more money.
2. UT is getting ready to borrow money against it's TV earning, you can believe what you want.
3. General fund which UT is getting ready to borrow against
4. UT hasn't cut any checks to Butch in a long time, this is such a tired and lazy narrative. They put the money in an escrow account back in 2017 and it's been paid out by attorneys. That isn't effecting this years budget and no all of the facility upgrades were put on hold.

Is this where we are as a fanbase? Can’t even make a joke without some fun stoppers stepping in. “Technically”

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

VQ guys have also tried pushing the narrative that it was the assistant coaches as to why the freshman haven't played as much until now.

BS. That is all coming from Pruitt. He has completely mismanaged the job.

Yep. It is definitely a calculated effort from AP to help Pruitt. He may throw some little comments against him but not many. He wants his info and knows he has to help Pruitt in order to get it. I know someone who talks to one of our offensive coaches regularly and it has been Pruitts call even when many told him to make a change.

Gross

Yes, that's where we are.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Question for any constitutional lawyers out there:
- knowing that Tennessee has no history of regular policing of paintings made on the rock, would removing “Fire Pruitt” constitute viewpoint discrimination in violation of the US and Tennessee constitutions?
