Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[HankHill]

Maybe this isn't a fair comparison but Hyatt reminds me a lot of Robby Anderson.

Jets Robby Anderson... i would agree with you. Panthers he’s not there yet. He’s took a huge step forward. I like the Comp tho. Frame similarly for sure.

 

[jordan4vols]

Well. About that time for me to step back from volnation and anything football related. We all know we aren’t winning more than 7-8 games next year at the very most. Yet that will be seen in year 4 as some kind of accomplishment and he’ll probably be given an extension because “the 22 class is so important”. I’m afraid we’re in Nebraska territory. Former power who’ll never be there again.

Dobbs wasn't as good at Austin Allen, Lock, or Hurts. And that wasn't a good crop of SEC QBs overall that year.

Even if that were true, 2/3 you named are current NFL starting QBs, yet you follow with “wasn’t a good crop of SEC QBs”

Actual video of @UTK shooting his shot.



insider status, denied.

Pro tip...
in the future be more vague. Say things could get interesting between 12-4. Throw an emoji in there. When nothing happens, come back and say something changes. Old money beat out new money for now. Etc.

Ole Bobvols on TOS knows how it works

If next season is crap Fulmer should be fired the day after Pruitt is

 

[05_never_again]

His improvement from Freshman to Sophmore was about as dramatic as possible.

his improvement from sophmore to junior was small

his improvement from Junior to Senior was significant

It’s honestly crazy to me we are having this chat.

Improving at the position year-over-year is different than ultimately becoming a really good downfield passer.

Sure, he got better as time went on, but I don't think he ever became a great downfield thrower. He was terrible as a freshman, and was probably average to slightly above average by his senior year.

 

[GVol1966]

Having a coaching search next year would be horrible. Potentially have an opening at Michigan, USC, Texas and maybe LSU if ole Ed can't improve

well then there’s 4 for our list next year, because VN loves them some coaches that got fired elsewhere

 

[SLICKYINC]

Think we should try to take Simpson and Horn in the ‘22 class. Gotta be a way to sell that.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

I don't understand the embarrassment for something that hasn't happened yet.

Thank you for repeating yourself. I will not. I made my point pretty clear and if you chose to read then that is on you. It obviously went over your head.

 

[engineerVOL]

I’m not sure what announcement everyone is looking for.

Other than what Texas did with Urban and Herman, when has a school ever announced the retention of a coach that’s under contract and wasn’t active pursuing another job or needed an extension?

What’s there to announce?

 

[GVol1966]

If next season is crap Fulmer should be fired the day after Pruitt is

If we aren’t 3-0 after 3 games Fulmer should be fired, and a replacement in place to fire Pruitt

 

[Air_Force_Vol27]

well then there’s 4 for our list next year, because VN loves them some coaches that got fired elsewhere

Not going to lie I legit laughed at this because its true

 

[Power T-Rev]

Risking the possibility I missed the announcement:

I just want something announced. Either move on or say, "We are sticking with him. Suck it up."

Get it over with.

This administration doesn't have the balls. They just tell you to bend over and take it

Dobbs wasn't as good at Austin Allen, Lock, or Hurts. And that wasn't a good crop of SEC QBs overall that year.

#3 In passing yards, #1 in TD’s, #1 in 20+ yard TD’s, #1 in QBR, #3 in Y/A(.1 behind Kelly), #2 in completion%(behind only Sean White)... Oh and he had those stats while being #8 in attempts. So imagine how many more yards and TD’s he woulda had if he got 100 more attempts like Lock. Or 50 more attempts like hurts and Allen. Doing that with a below average pass pro O-line

Oh not to mention another 850 yards and 12 TD’s on the ground. You’re wrong. Bye

 

[Ron Swanson]

It won’t matter. We don’t compete with those teams for coaches. They shop at Target. UT shops in the claw machine at your local bowling alley.

Well yeah, because none of those guys exactly set the college football world on fire. Where they ended up getting drafted or how good they are in the NFL is irrelevant to this discussion.

That wasn't a good crop of SEC QBs on an absolute basis - I mean, how good were those guys relative to the crop of SEC QBs this year or last year? It was a mediocre crop of QBs overall.

 

[Volbucky]

So why the angst today? Nothing happened. Nothing was set to happen. Same old same old.

We are damn tired of the same ole same ole. Why do they not understand that??? This is a fork in the road for the program. They chose mediocrity rd and we’re now carpooling with vandy.

 

[BigOrangeVols]

AP and Hubbs have been saying a lot of recruits are reading the board and that fan response is hurting the recruiting. I wouldn't typically care, but if this staff is coming back, we need to land that in state class next year. It is loaded and could change the direction of the program.

What came first? ****** coaches or ****** (attitude) fans.

I’ll hang up and listen

 

[Vols4us]

If someone had told me three years ago that we would hire Pruitt and we would have these results, I would have much rather given him another year to try and figure it out. If he moved on from JG, who knows what could have happened. A lot of our losses were close unlike the blow outs we get now.

Which is why the new HC should always sweep it clean when he comes in. It's unfortunate, but only the tough love survivors from the previous roster should be utilized going forward. The upper classmen should never be given preference over the the new HC's guys. Especially in age of transfers that is starting now. Recruit to your system and play the guys who fit your system. Suck it up the first year or two, but do it so the program can trend up and not be one this one is. That's the exact opposite of what Jeremy did.

We saw JG under Botch, we saw JG in the first season with Jeremy. Same guy, same results. It should have stopped sometime in the first season with Jeremy. Now here we are.

Don't even go there

 

[Weezer]

Does anyone on TOS ever say "Weezer on VN says nothing is going to happen"? If not, you should.

I would like to revisit this post. Does this mean my "insider" status is confirmed? I knew you guys should have been telling TOS what I said.

 

[preacherwebb]

Chadwell is not leaving a head coaching position where his program was just ranked twelfth in the country to be an OC here. Lol.

Yeah, because double or triple the salary and moving closer to home means nothing ... lol.

 

[Catbone]

The OP mentioned was planning a coup to remove fulmer from power by turning him in for ncaa violations

Would've been nice!

This is so stupid I’m convinced it’s satire and I’m being trolled

 

[preacherwebb]

FWIW Doug Matthews said on the Zone this morning that Pruitt likes Chaney and has faith in him. He said he expects Chaney to be given more control next year, and will likely coach QB's.

Chaney should've been the HC of the offense and been QB coach in the first place ... just my opinion.
