Hahahahaha!!! Pruitts is gonna end up with no one in this class!..it’s starting to looking like fulmers 08’ class and we all know how that ended

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I don't know that Mario can cut it in the SEC though, but the dude can damn well recruit.

 

[Ace]

i hope we do ugh

Me too

Hate to be "that guy," but who/what is LWS?

 

[UTProf]

Oh my!

 

[SLICKYINC]

I don’t have an opinion on him, but 7th in 2019 to 11th in 2020 is actually not an improvement. I mean that isn’t an opinion it’s just a fact

Sorry I misspoke. He’s actually 6th right now.

FACT

 

[MarcoVol]

2021 - 6th (currently)
2020 - 11
2019 - 7
2018 - 13

Prior to Cristobal
2017 - 19
2016 - 27
2015 - 16
2014 - 21

Pretty significant difference and I think most people would agree.

I don’t get the love tho. He’s recruited better , sure, but he hasn’t proven anything as a HC yet. Not sure why he’s considered a home run.

Came into this season expecting big things and they’re 3-2 with losses to Oregon St and Cal. Did have a great season last year tho.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Why are you so down him?

Pac 12 is a weak conference. He lost to a bad Auburn team and Az St with an NFL QB. He was a complete failure at FIU going 27-47. He comes from the Saban tree and wants to model his program after Saban, which is not the way to beat Bama. Hes lost his last two games to a rebuild Oregon St and bad Cal team and will probably get beat by USC as well. He walked into a program with talent and beat up on bad teams, he doesn't know how to build anything.

Larry Smith - well connected to UT Athletics especially during Fulmer days - posts on VQ and occasionally on here

"Interesting in that no one is saying anything definite about next year. Fulmer was on Volcalls two weeks ago and it was hardly a strong endorsement and Pruitt on the eve of signing day indicated that he hasn't been told anything specific about being back." - Hubbs

Little League World Series. Just missed an L at the beginning

I was told Saturday that the players fully expect Pruitt back next year - could change

Thats unfortunate, but not unexpected.

 

[BAJAvol]

Yeah really don't want to recruit against Mario. Hope they end up with Steele.

$9.95 please

Old time insider that used to be connected

now his only real info comes from
His relationship with Hubbs

 

[UTSuave’]

Even if true, it comes down to who Boyd sides with, Fulmer or the Haslams.

Lol you must be new around here...Uncle Jim always wins

Someone needs to ask about Marley

 

[swchandler1988]

Recruiting against him is the same as recruiting against O, gus, saban, Mullen. Whoever gets the auburn job is going to recruit roughly 7-10th like they always do. Errybody get off cristobals c*ck. Or just be auburn fans if he’s going to make them so great

 

[Weezer]

Is that why Schiano is our coach...oh wait.

 

[VolGee4]

Know you are just pulling from that site, so this isn’t directed at you, but anyone who thinks Auburn doesn’t know exactly who they want and have an indication they will get them is a bit looney IMO. You don’t buyout a dude with the record and resume that Gus has with 21M if you don’t know exactly who you are filling the position with. Either that or Auburn is dumber than our administration is.

I wouldn't put it past them if it's true that high money boosters and the administration were at odds over the decision.

UT Administration, literally:

This is why the rock was much better before it was moved. The admin didn't paint over it constantly when it was further down the road and students said far blunter things on it.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Good idea for someone sitting this one out.

Just trying to assist all I can

What about Marley?

 

[Dudley Smith]

I don't know that Mario can cut it in the SEC though, but the dude can damn well recruit.

Thus far in his career Cristobal strikes me as a Phillip Fulmer/Mark Richt/Mack Brown/Kirby Smart type coach - a tremendous accumulator of talent who will overwhelm most teams with better players, but struggles as an in game coach and will lose a few games a year to teams with near-equal talent. Although as Fulmer and Brown showed, if you get enough talent, eventually you can get lucky and get over the hump.
