Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[KB5252]

So we shouldn’t even try? Man I hope that’s not the UTAD mindset in regards to coaches.

No, read his statement again.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

No, it's not. I was agreeing with you after responding to the poster saying he was fired with cause. He wouldn't have been paid that much if they truly had something for cause.

True.

LA said it's very rare that universities ever actually fire with cause, someone else said "Florida got away with it!" and I shared the information you replied to. It wasn't a firing with cause, in fact it was Florida threating a fire with cause to lower his buyout.

Even Freeze resigned from Ole Miss and wasn't fired with cause...in fact I can't recall the last time any football coach was actually fired with cause and not paid his buyout (or a portion of it). They either resigned (Freeze) or negotiated a lesser buyout (McElwain) it's a black eye that most coaches don't want. "Fired with cause" is almost a career killer.

To be fair, Kiffin trolls every fanbase. We just tend to engage with him a lot. Vol Twitter is all about trolling. Our fans would eat it up if he was here.

He's got a chance to be the next Spurrier in the SEC. It would be a lot more fun if he became that here than somewhere else.

 

[Power T-Rev]

Prepare yourselves... FF people will be in here tomorrow.. those arguments are probably going to be more entertaining than signing day

Its funny how volnation has clans within itself that views each other as enemies. Lol

Kirk Herbstreit endorses Hugh Freeze to Auburn

 

[MoCo_Vol]

that's correct, but if he believes the AD is at fault and a lawsuit would open UT up for more damage the school will just pay full amount to get it to go away.

But if they agree and come to a solution with a smaller payout and he signs the NDA then it's a good deal on both sides.

I'll speculate that Fulmer/Pruitt are in negotiations already about a lower buyout and his termination.

On the field performance is bad, and whatever occurred in the summer is starting to appear (even as vague as it is). Not to mention we've had a few players have issues with law enforcement.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

That should be enough for us to make a move

Did you get extra or just the alottment they give with the salad?

Had 2 baskets. Not gonna lie though, the waitress didn’t say anything about extra and I didn’t even look at the itemized receipt

 

[Jack Burton]

No, read his statement again.

What did I miss?

That plus Fulmer not coming out fully endorsing Pruitt the week of ESD makes me think you're right.

Just listening to Jox radio here in Alabama that’s hosted by Cole Cublic. They were talking about the Auburn job and out of nowhere they start talking about a team who doesn’t currently have an opening but could soon have one and they only mentioned UT and how Freeze would love to be there.

TLDR Soon

Mutual parting coming Sunday

 

[Nash_Vol97]

from that article:

A few weeks back, as discontent grew among Volunteer boosters and fans about the future of head coach Jeremy Pruitt (16-18), rumors flew that Pruitt, himself discontent with the program and his lack of support, told people around the program that he’d just as soon “go back to coaching defense for Nick than put up with this ****.”

 

[C-town Vol]

So again, i ask do you just quit trying? This one hasn’t worked out so just keep him in charge? Even the worst ran Companies or teams eventually get it right.

The old blind squirrel philosophy...

 

[SLICKYINC]

Didn’t Ole Saint Nick take a couple of shots at Pruitt for taking some of his assistants? Germy might want to slow his mouth down just a touch.

 

[BigSteve09]

That's some pretty juicy gossip. It's a fun narrative to run with but it's also kind of ridiculous.

GEEZUS why are we dragging our feet?????????? It’s so damn obvious and the media is even saying it! Not just fan fodder!

 

[BigOrangeVols]

IDT the door is closed on Kiffin. I just don't think now's the time. JMO. The good thing about Kiffin is he knows what he's good at it, he surrounds himself with people who're good at other things and he lets them do their jobs. I think a few years at OM would be good for him.

I would not even care if Kiffin was not good here. Obviously his floor is much higher than the last 3 clowns. Football would be so much fun. Every team would hate us and that’s what being a Vol is all about.

Haven't been in damn near a decade. Tbh.

Lack of support?!!! Lol. Fire him tma if he really said that. He has more support that almost any other program.

 

[BubbaWms]

Piss on it....offer Saban double his present contract. After watching 60 yrs of mediocre football the majority of the time, being six feet under just over the horizon, don't give me many more years of Big Orange Football !

 

[Volfanatic_20]

Lack of support?!!! Lol. Fire him tma if he really said that. He has more support that almost any other program.

He has gotten everything he has wanted. From staff salaries and off field support he has gotten more support than any coach in UT history.

He is just a terrible HEAD coach. Plain and simple. No need to delay the inevitable.

 

[Sugaray13]

You haven't aged a bit since the last time I saw you.

 

[Volfanatic_20]

You’re a pathetic shill

No Doubt
