Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Orange Studs]

We not going to get a response from Atlvol are we? We are desperate for good news Atl.

 

[drvenner]

Are we going to have a new coach next fall?

Five or six of them at various positions, I believe, at this point.

 

[Orange Studs]

You can most certainly be a terrible coach in the pros.... they hire retreads all the time..... I would hire Steele before Gase and Steele is at the bottom of my list.

Like I said Saban got fired.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Never is a long time.

I know...I just having a real hard time seeing anything ever change anymore. Twelve years ago I whole heartedly believed there was no way we could be held down for very long...now I am pretty much believe like LWS...I may never see a good Vol football program again.

The people in charge honestly do not give a crap about winning...if they cared, they would do what A&M and Bama did and make an offer that could not be refused.

Coronavirus patient zero?

 

[Vfl2407]

Glass Houses? I want them eligible..... getting a good education is on them.

My point was that UT can’t point fingers at illiterate players at other schools when our coach is no Einstein

Lol..

We legit expect Einstein to play for Uncle Bubba though. Talk about a double standard.

Will you be happy when it continues to plague and hinder the next guy and the next guy and the next guy? It is a problem, and it needs to go away if we want to compete at the highest level...

It is like a lot of you guys don't even think of the consequences of this crap...you would really cut off your nose to spite your face...it is insanity.

I want Pruitt gone by almost whatever means necessary. This is the perfect time for us to fire a coach. 7-8 win floor next year for a competent coach and the shine of a new coach normally helps with recruiting, which is really needed with the in state 22 class. Obviously whatever academic hurdles are in place need to be removed for the next guy. Sorry if this line of thinking is too complex for you.

I’m burnt out on it.

If the AD wants to make a change then great. If not, then I’ll spend my Saturdays doing something else.

The program is buried now.

Why do I feel like this is all going to end with Fulmer as HC again?

that wouldn't be recommended. he's fine as ad.

It isn't too complex, it is too f'n stupid and shortsighted for me to comprehend intellegent people actually believing it is a good way to do things. I think we should just fire the guy and move on, this wussified backstabbing bulls*** pisses me off.

That kind of stuff has consequences.

About 30 mins in

Everything he said about Tennessee was truth.

 

[HankHill]

I think he’s a perfect “jump back into the first round” and grab him towards the end kind of guy. Without medical history he’s a top 15 pick imo. Which is great for a guard.

 

[sona]

I do feel we need to fix kind of thing if we want to play big boy football.... the whole city needs to rally around the team.

You have to give people something to rally around. Getting smoked by mediocre teams at home isn't it. I know plenty of fellow Knoxvillians who are over it.

Just an ominous feeling I have. From all the rumors of him meddling. Seems like he wants another shot. He’s already player usurper once in his career (maybe twice with the AD gif), wouldn’t be shocked if it happened again.

 

[HankHill]

If Pruitt were allowed to hire coaches (which I’ve been told he absolutely cannot) i think far more smoke would be around about potential names... even on positions that aren’t *yet* open. I’m choosing to believe that the investigation is at least semi serious and this saga isn’t over.

If he goes before the third, I don't see the Titans grabbing him. We need an edge and tackle way more.

Phil trying to draw things out so we cant hire a new coach, so he has to step in? Damn he really hasn't changed.
