Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[MarcoVol]

I felt like that was more a declaration of position than an announcement.

Don’t hold your breath for an official announcement after that. The tale will be told if/when we start seeing new assistants hired.

 

[rekinhavoc]

Infighting, complacency, incompetency and staffers who aren't all-in is another way to fail. There need to be some changes.

Housewives of Neyland Stadium?

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

You buying gold popcorn? Won't catch me dropping 100 bones unless I'm on the marijuannas

Not golden , but I do like the edible 24K gold sprinkled on mine...I mean who doesn’t

 

[MarcoVol]

Why are the UF guys opting out? They could put up video game like numbers against OU.

Don’t wanna risk injury before the draft

Mrs. Mullen is historically randy for bowl games?

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

I mean, they have to say something either way at this point. Just too much speculation with hot seats, coaching hot boards, hot strippers, and escorts, etc.

But i have no doubt that they are sitting around a stupid big table saying, we don't need to say anything, he is our coach and nothing has changed - why should we announce that.

Let's just go about our business of sucking and not having a clue.

Or they haven't even met..."everything's fine"

 

[volatil]

Dang that sucks.

Nb4 canceled Cotton Bowl

I think he had like 2. 5 sacks in the first game and did pretty much nothing else except get pushed around in the other nine games. Oh yeah, and commit stupid penalties.

List the players who have jumped ship please and see if any of them were ever gonna play any meaningful snaps here.

Yep, they were all going to fall further down the depth chart. Even Shrout, who would have liked to stay.

There will be seniors portaling out soon.

Brandon Johnson was pretty good.....
Shrout would be our back up at worst.

 

[volinbama256]

i'm gonna keep saying this until it's over either way----

Pruitt sucks and has shown nothing to prove he's getting the program better, only worse in year 3, so why and how would he all of a sudden make a leap in year 4? He has blatantly proven to even the average fan that he doesn't know how to evaluate and develop talent--- he kept a 3rd string QB in the entire season and watched us crumble and lose without giving anyone else a fair shot. He puts 2 QB's in at the end of the season and they are clearly better than JG.
His defense was one of the worst in the SEC, yet he is supposed to be a defensive genius. No one should be retained from the defensive side of the ball with how pathetic we played. He is horrible to work for, and countless people have talked in detail about how bad of a person he is to work with/for and be around. Fulmer has done all kinds of work for him that most coaches would be required to do, yet he still has failed in just about every other department of a HC...
He turns over staff and has yet to take any full blame himself to my knowledge. He is irritable in press conferences and doesn't answer the tough questions.
Our team is full of talent and has clearly regressed from the end of last season to the end of this season.
Recruiting is lagging and we are missing out on big fish that he is supposed to get, losing out to the usual schools, which makes him not really any better of a recruiter than other coaches we've had. Sure he's won a few battles and gotten a few high tier kids, but has not developed them and now couldn't get a 5* to save his life. Recruits are decommitting and current players are leaving.

I haven't seen the fanbase this united on getting rid of a coach in all my years...

Yet, he's still here. What has he done to get another year of this BS? The people making the decisions for our football program are clearly on a different page and don't care about us ever really winning.

The only way I'll support this program moving forward until we get a new coach is to maybe watch a game on tv... not a single penny will go to the program. Forget it.

 

[CoachClick]

And then come right back in here to VN post-game and deliberate with the board on the arc of the program. Oh, and watch the game on DVR delay and dissect every play.

You’ll be here...just like the rest of us.

Sure. But I will spend my money on things that make sense.

Spending money on things that aren't enjoyable just doesn't make sense.

 

[Weezer]

If he thought Fulmer was in over his head, why do you think he gave him an extension?

I think Fulmer is over his head. I never said that's how Boyd feels.

That they need to fire gumbo and hire him

Brandon Johnson was definitely getting passed by and bailey probably was going to be our starter so Shrout wanted to go somewhere he thought he would start.

 

[HankHill]

Really? What's he saying?

Basically when asked about his status at liberty and hearing some chatter.... He’s been more honest with his players and admit them ever. If a job comes calling that makes his heart beat faster (*tennessee*) then he would certainly be tempted to move.

Do tell...

 

[TrippieRedd]

We won't hire Freeze because risk of investigation, but here we are in the midst of an investigation, sweet.
