Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[volbeast33]

Is griddle an insider or reliable?

Yes he is very reliable

 

[BigOrangeGoose]

I just want to know whether he is back or not already...

If he is, then I can go ahead and start rationalizing it and we can go back into recruiting mode

If not, then the excitement for a new coach will be through the roof... and hopefully won’t be crushed by a bad hire

@Atlanta VOL you wanna throw us a cryptic gif to give us some juice?

Oh **** the teenage girl K replies

No. This is the middle age dude variety...been utilized since we were teenage girls.

Arik Gilbert to Vols


-AP

Yes, please

 

[UTK]

You'll never post again if you're wrong right? Didn't you make that bet?

Not to that extent lol

 

[MarcoVol]

Interesting

Not really. He prob also wouldn’t be surprised if he went somewhere else. He also prob wouldn’t be surprised if he stayed at LSU.

Thought it would make you feel more comfortable as the 4 o clock hour approaches

 

[UTK]

Not gonna lie, awaiting that exact same post by another user lol

I already established I don't like the Alex Bliss types, sorry lol

There is no news because there is nothing to report. We have a head coach and won't be firing him. Only news will be more kids leaving. Maybe one coming in.

 

[BAJAvol]

Yeah, UT AD needs to either move on or come out with a FORMAL announcement stating Pruitt will be here in 2021. Our high school/transfer recruiting will be extremely handicapped until then. IF he is staying, they need a formal announcement similar to VT/Texas.

 

[MarcoVol]

Yes he is very reliable

Hasn’t the Felton thing already been put to bed as false or am I making that up in my head

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

I disagree on Gus being trash but I believe that it could build a fire into Gus again. Expectations are lower here the first couple of years. He should have a winning record next year. Then consistently build the program into a good program. After the second year, 8-4 should them be the minimum. 5-6 years down the road if he’s still holding at 8-4 a decision has to be made.

We first have to get out of the cycle of replacing coach every couple of years and flipping the roster as well. We first have to reach a consistency stage of football (8-4, 9-3), then we can reach the elite stage (competing for championships).

This is what happened in the Majors to Fulmer transition. Johnny could only do so much. Fulmer too until he got the right staff in place.

Expectations aren't lower here. We just hired a guy and everyone acknowledged we were a dumpster fire and needed a talent overhaul. Everyone acknowledged it was a 4-5 year rebuild.

Yet after year three we're trying to run the coach off.

Tennessee fans are delusional with their expectations. If anything, expectations are ridiculously high here.

Woe is me woe is I

I don’t see how Gus can be unacceptably mediocre but a guy who had the nickname 7-win Sark would definitely work out.

 

[bigorangecrush89]

I would take Gus in a heartbeat if Freeze isnt an option.

 

[Devo182]

Why did you have faith in the first place?

Because that's how faith works, sir. Are you questioning my faith in Freezology?

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Woe is me woe is I

This is terrible but it's also very normal. We are fans of a very bad football program. It's ass poop piss.

 

[BearCat204]

After listening to Freeze on a radio interview just a minute ago, just doesn’t sound like there is anyway that he has had any serious discussion with UT.....or anyone else.

 

[bigorangecrush89]

I think Freeze is still considered more nuclear than prople realize.

 

[MarcoVol]

I don’t see how Gus can be unacceptably mediocre but a guy who had the nickname 7-win Sark would definitely work out.

7-win Sark at Washington where when he took over they were 0-12 the season prior and hadn’t won 7 games in 6 years.

Gus took over a program that won a NC 3 years prior.

Those are not the same.

I think the only ones not on scholarship were Kasim Hill, Abercrombie, Rinke, & Gaddy.

I don’t know if I would call many of those losses. Especially if we’re going with the youth movement that everyone has been wanting.
