Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Kirby's last stand?

If they don't get to playoffs his seat will be getting warm. Especially now that JT is coming back.

If something crazy happens, and Pruitt does get let go, I’m not sure where we go. I’d start getting prepared for Fulmer to step in on an interim basis and get the band back together. Let’s ride.

Agreed. But part of that is because UF is a destination job, so they can afford to be a little pickier and overall ballsier (we should be too, for that matter). They know where they stand in the pecking order for coaching searches. Granted, there are no guarantees whatsoever these days, as hiring a top coach is becoming more and more difficult. UF already having ties to Mullen really helped them there. Still, easier to gamble on stuff like that when you know you instantly move to the head of the line when you need a new coach. UT brass is more gun shy because they know we instantly get leapfrogged by more prominent programs.

Tennessee could stand to be more aggressive within our "lane." For example, we swung for Mullen and missed. That makes sense, but our #2 option was Schiano. We missed our pick, then retreated into a shell immediately and went for a guy that we knew with absolute certainty we could get. That was just ridiculous. All of the guys Currie talked to between Schiano Sunday and his own firing were better options than Schiano - why didn't we talk with any of them before picking Schiano?

See, that last line is why I like Pruitt the person.

Same

This is going to be one of those nights my wife gets mad at me for being on my phone all evening.

That’s every night for many of us

 

[amavol2]

That’s going to be a awesome selling point during the coaching search.... Hey come work for us but just know you might not get paid if you piss us off.

How about do your job, don’t cheat and we won’t have a problem.

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

VQ have any tidbits on where things stand?

 

[SpringBokVol]

Urban Meyer asking for $12m a year. Wow.

 

[BruinVol]

Well on that don’t cheat part .....


I think the result of that is not winning

 

[SLICKYINC]

This is a total sh!t show again. Playing out on the national stage again.

Is this a troll account?

 

[volinbama256]

I don’t know why everyone is sweating probation and loss of scholarships and bowl bans. The NCAA looks favorably on universities who handle situations and don’t just try to slide it under the rug. Tennessee comes out and says we had to fire our head coach and they may be fine

This.... we need to chill and see what plays out... Taking it upon ourselves to fire the HC (which coincidentally we actually want to do) to mitigate the situation will help and should look proactive in terms of disciplinary actions by the NCAA...

 

[Playdo]

Urban Meyer asking for $12m a year. Wow.

To be fair, it would take quite a bit of money for me to do something that would exponentially expedite my heart exploding.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

John C Mcginley! Beast of an actor.

Love him on Scrubs

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

Good lord, what did I miss? I always miss the good stuff.

"Will we have news this week or will we not? We really aren't sure. Pruitt is still the head coach as of now. The investigation is ongoing and will continue to be ongoing until the ongoing is finished. How will that turn out? It will either be really good or really bad."

- Hubbs (probably)

Everybody in college football cheats to some degree. All potential coaches know that and then they see that UT turns on their own coach. Yeah, I’d have to be either desperate or a young coach looking for a raise to want this dysfunctional ass job.

 

[smokeyz1]

You guys crack me up. You have a dumpster fire on your hands with Jeremy as coach after getting torched by all the good teams in the SEC - and you worry about losing players on the roster or sanctions from the NCAA? Do you not realize this is going to be a complete rebuild? You are starting at the bottom. Jeremy has already gone through a couple of staffs of assistants and has burned every bridge on the academic side. The players on the roster are 6-6 at best players that have to be redeveloped and trained into a new system. This is all about who they hire and whether it will take 2 or as much as 4 years to compete at a reasonably high level again.

This bolded statement is why we have to hire a new coach every 3 years. This rebuild will take 4 years at a minimum and that is just to be competitive in the SEC again. High level would be much longer. If UT was is any other conference, we could rebuild in 2 or 3 years to where we compete for conference championships. But not in the current SEC.

Rick Barnes would have been run off after 2 years here if more fans cared about Basketball at UT. Remember all the "He don't even care about recruiting. He's just here to draw a paycheck" comments.

We have to give the coach more time. However, it won't happen in football.

 

[Tennessee Stud]

This is a total sh!t show again. Playing out on the national stage again.

Wouldn’t be Tennessee if didn’t hit the fan and go national like always. One of these days we’re going to hit a home run. I’m here for it.

 

[volinbama256]

I want to know who turned us in/ how did all this bubble to the top? Did another program squeal?

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Urban Meyer asking for $12m a year. Wow.

Worth every penny for that in college. NFL no way

Ugh

It’s been reported Georgia

It’s either a troll or actually Phil Fulmer trying to float different scenarios and seeing what we will go all Schiano-Sunday about and what we will actually shut up and take.
