Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[SweetasSoda]

We should keep Pru and upgrade OC

They NEED to decide and make it very public.

Penalties are a coaching issues. Especially when the same ones by the same players happen over and over. THATS COACHING. But the players love their coach . I prolly would to if I was allowed to do it over and over. And nothing happens.

That’s not what you originally said. But that’s ok.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Briles, Yurcich, Herman?!!, someone from the NFL. someone innovative who can score points

Briles will never get a job here, period.

 

[VOL608]

Considering how often coaches get fired, leave for other jobs, etc nowadays, you’re an idiot to commit to a school primarily for the head coach. If I had a kid who was getting recruited, I’d ask my son if he could see himself at a particular school for 3-4 years no matter what happens to the coach or coaches.

Salter is my QB since he committed to UT, not the school.

Edit: damnit, committed to UT, not the coach

That’s not what you originally said. But that’s ok.

I said quit on plays AND made stupid penalties. But it is what it is.

 

[Smokey123]

Can’t wait till we all wake up to the ESPN notification that reads: “Breaking News: Tennessee HC Jeremy Pruitt relieved of his duties, AD Phillip Fulmer named interim HC”

 

[VOL608]

Buffalo Trace has gotten into me lol

 

[SweetasSoda]

Yeah, we don't need any good players.

 

[MattR11]

I see optimism is at an all time high in here. Hopefully we won't get ncaa penalties but it is starting to sound serious. If we would of just chose joy weeks ago maybe things would be different.

[VolFreakJosh]

Yeah, we don't need any good players.

Keeping a lame duck coach to keep a few players is
the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.

Kendall

Kendall

Ah, gotcha

 

[White Bread]

I see optimism is at an all time high in here. Hopefully we won't get ncaa penalties but it is starting to sound serious. If we would of just chose joy weeks ago maybe things would be different.

I just hope it’s serious enough to fire with cause, but not serious enough to significantly hamstring the program.

 

[Power T-Rev]

Yeah, we don't need any good players.

We need a great head coach more than a few good players

 

[Batman1948]

I know this sounds bad but honestly, I think UT could hire Saban and somehow still not win big. In my heart, I don't think Tennessee will ever win big again regardless of the coach.

We just tend to bleed money. Fulmer gave Pruitt everything he needed to get this thing turned around. We made a S&C coach the 2nd highest paid S&C in the country and completely overhauled his training facility just to fit his program. Fulmer gave Pruitt tons of analysts to help him and paid big money for assistants. You guys running down Fulmer are just pissed because we're not winning.

Unless we hire a worse coach that will for sure run off the players that love this coach and will hate Tennessee fans and administration. Doing this wrong.

I think we can still get someone better than 3-7 in year 3

 

[VolGee4]

I said quit on plays AND made stupid penalties. But it is what it is.

But making penalties doesn’t equate to quitting. I think it’s clear that Pruitt is liked. They just didn’t play well.

 

[SweetasSoda]

I don't twitter

Unfortunately many do.

[csprig9]

I do t know what the hell they have going on but I’d like this deal to get ****ing fixed
Really like to see UT good and battling for championships again with my dad while he’s still around
This deal or whatever is going has to stop and I do t know why every else can’t see that way also

 

[SweetasSoda]

I was hopeful until the way this is being handled.

 

[volinbama256]

Where is it being said that we are in for major violations? I haven't seen this?

 

[Volfanatic_20]

This is the kind of crap that happens when you have a head coach that other coaches can’t stand to work for.

By all accounts Pruitt is a great players coach but when it comes to his assistants they hate him and can’t stand to work with him. That’s why this **** gets leaked out.

Need a head coach that’s get the respect from his piers just as much as the players.

 

[MattR11]

I just hope it’s serious enough to fire with cause, but not serious enough to significantly hamstring the program.

Can it be serious enough to fire but not serious enough for us to get penalized? I have no clue. I would think think PF would have to go too in that case but I don't know jack about how these things go.
