Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[BigOrangeVols]

Put them on ignore and we won’t ever have to see you complain about them again. Thx

No thanks I’m not a coward

 

[90 Vol]

Are you saying there is hope ????

No, nothing happened and we really need something to happen. The only real noteworthy happening would be for Pruitt and/or Fulmer to be sent packing.

 

[SLICKYINC]

You going to get a SBR stamp for that short barrel?

No, registered pistol lower.

 

[tnhunter 10]

Not sure a HC has ever done so after such an awful first 3 years.



Next year, sure. But take one of a few HCs once he is fired and we'll be immediately relevant going into 2022.

Pruitt may be able to take all our hope for the next 12 months, but not after that.

He will probably come back after winning 5 games next year.
"5 games is a 2 game improvement from the year before". Fulmer probably

 

[Vols4us]

It's going to cost more to keep him than to fire him. Wait and see. He'll be out by mid season next year. Maybe not officially but it'll be a forgone conclusion. We'll have new assistants to buy out, attendance will be laughable. The roster will look like Vandy in our game this year. No coach worth his weight in fruit-of-the-looms will want to come here.

I agree with this. How many times do they need to see the same movie to finally get it?

IIRC you were not real high on Jeremy even being hired initially.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Hope they all transfer.

Same. I really hope Bailey transfers to a team with coaches that can develop him. He has potential but it will just be wasted here. I'd LOVE to see what Kiffin or Freeze would do with Gray playing in their offense.

 

[tnhunter 10]

No, registered pistol lower.

I may have missed it. But, which round did you decide on?

 

[Vfl2407]

All together?!

Possibly. What else makes sense?

 

[you]

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

Here’s the sales pitch:
Get them on conference call. Tell them you’ll use them both. We’ll alternate series, Heck, we’ll alternate every play, just look at our track record

 

[GVol1966]

If hes back next year. Hes getting 2 more years

My thoughts exactly. The only thing more stupid than not firing him this year, would be ok’ing the hiring of a bunch of new assistants and then firing him!
Oh wait, this is UT. He’s gone next year

 

[berryvol]

Hope they all transfer.

I know for a fact “issues with ‘paperwork’” are about to keep one of them from getting a spot in their 2 preferred landing spots. It’s disgraceful, really.

 

[BruinVol]

I hope that CJP has learned his lesson and becomes a winner.
But that’s just what I hope for my university as unlikely as it may be

Well said

To hell with those saying they hope every starter transfers. Pathetic

Doubt it. If he can scrape together 6 wins, he gets a year 5 imo.

 

[SLICKYINC]

I may have missed it. But, which round did you decide on?

7.62

 

[tnhunter 10]

7.62

Good decision. I traded one last yr, wish I had kept it. 7.62 is like a 9mm, find rounds in almost every house hold or any country.

 

[Vfl2407]

It’s unfortunately not a matter of learning his lesson. He doesn’t have the proper intelligence and temperament.

Why not just tell us who?

Takes a heck of an ego for admins to roll out something fans dont want.

That’s certainly the way it appears but we were talking about what we hope happens at our university

 

[ACvol3]

I'm putting UT on ignore

 

[SLICKYINC]

Good decision. I traded one last yr, wish I had kept it. 7.62 is like a 9mm, find rounds in almost every house hold or any country.

I have many but nothing that shoots that round. It’s the only round I can find everywhere I go. Sometimes it’s the only round on the shelves.

 

[GVol1966]

There is a part of me that respects the fact that Fulmer / Boyd / Plowman / etc didn’t bow down to fan anger.

I was fine with Pruitt being let go if a legitimate, P5 proven winner could replace him. I didn’t want to fire him and go through the ordeal of hiring the 5th person on our list.

You can call it stubbornness. You can try to blame it all on Fulmer and his ego / visions of grandeur. But the bottom line is that this is a decision made by multiple people, and they are clearly saying they are sticking with their convictions rather than pleasing the people.

I’m genuinely interested in seeing it play out. I always appreciate leadership not catering to the masses, but instead doing what they think is best and right.

Also, never forget, despite all the “insider info” floating on VN / TOS, none of us, NO ONE has as much information as the actual people in the decision making seats.

Dig in folks. Put your Orange on. Let’s see if these guys can turn the corner. I assure you of this, we all want them to win...

(With the exception of a few, who at this point would rather them fail just so they can say “I told you I was right”)

There is all of me that lost all respect for all 3 because they weren’t as angry as the fans over this embarrassment to UT.
All have there own pockets lined with UT money setting back and watching it fall apart.

 

[berryvol]

Why not just tell us who?

I have been asked to not use names with anything by this person. Like I said, you could go back and figure out who it is I’m sure, I’m just being respectful to the informant here.

 

[Orange Studs]

More Golf next Fall it looks like. lol

Is it someone we already know that’s in the portal?
