Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Volsdeep4]

Pugh to Baylor

Another FBS offensive coordinator joins Baylor staff

Thank god now if we can end this ******* conversation about blackface and who’s the devil and who lives in the worst streets on the internet.

 

[HankHill]

this right here is going to scare off a lot of good coaches and a lot of good recruits. we can’t have anything nice.

Why would it scare off recruits? Because they can’t play in the cheez-it bowl their freshman year? Lol

Good maybe that answers the question that Gump couldn’t offer him a deal

 

[volbeast33]

Could be, but we have developed a bad name in coaching circles. From the administration to the fan base on Twitter, lots of coaches see this job as dysfunctional and not worth the headache. It is going to be harder and harder for UT to hire proven coaches.

They haven’t exactly been knocking down the door to become our coach.

 

[tn88volfan]

Yes. We're going to have hire someone so toxic that he can't find another job but would gladly take this one. someone who is a great coach but with a questionable past that makes him untouchable by other big jobs. The only great candidate that we could hire in the midst of a mess that could come out of this.


I know just the guy....

 

[BruinVol]

I can’t believe I am saying this but this entire Bs situation has turned me to be on the side of Pruitt. Perhaps the ncaa stuff will be so bad I change my mind but as of now I hope he pulls a Bruce at auburn and says FU to the coup crew and survives.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Yes, AP is on VQ right now talking about how the fanbase on social media is hurting us with coaches and with players. That has been his talking point for a week now

He is close to the staff and trying to put blame on fans. Going 3-7 and numerous blow outs will make players question to come here. And our archaic offense is not where a lot want to play. It’s pathetic they are trying to put this on fans.

 

[Dudleys87]

That's why you don't follow man, you follow Christ.

But so many want to follow the leader rather than make their own foot prints. It’s why I don’t go to church.

No, basically Pruitt's in limbo...University brass (the ones signing the checks) said "We're not signing any new contracts until the investigation is completed."

So all Pruitt's able to do is talk numbers on a napkin.

I get it but it’s still not a good look either way.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

I sure hope it never gets out. Will be awful for the family and a real shocker to the TN community.

Do you think that person weighed all the pros and cons of what they were doing when they decided to do it? This seems like a very disgruntled person who was close to the program who acted emotionally. I would love to know what this person’s motivation was and what he or she thinks they were going to accomplish by unloading whatever it is they’ve unloaded. At this exact moment I’m not going to feel bad for that person if the whole damn town comes down on them for getting the school in trouble. They know where they live, they know the crazy and everything associated with it.

I’ve said this in another thread. Last month a professor that posts on here alluded that there were some disgruntled professors who ready to blow the whistle on the program. I’m really hoping this isn’t the case here.

If you are choosing between us, auburn, Georgia... h$ll even ole miss..... would you pick the dysfunctional school on probation?

because they have no idea who their coach is going to be, because our admin always drags their a** around every decision

The Kentucky basketball fan base is just as bad and they got Cal.

How is it any different? Would it change anything if we all sat on our hands with tape over our mouths?

Has nothing to do with looking like complete ass on the field for the past 3 years and getting your teeth kicked in by Georgia State. Then followed by a 3 win season because you didn’t have the mental fortitude to sit possibly the worst starting QB in Tennessee history.......nah, has the be the fans.

 

[MrVolton]

If you want Billy Napier, don't complain that we are hiring a Billy Napier caliber staff.

Napier’s OL coach at LLU has a better resume than Pugh.

 

[rekinhavoc]

Prediction:

Investigation turns up a big nothing burger.

But the Investigation picked a big scab and it is too much for Coach Pruitt to overlook.

Both parties agree to a mutual parting of ways.

Fake coaching search for appearances .

They hire the guy they have been speaking to via back channels in case this all went south.

 

[UTProf]

Pugh is the OL coach Pruitt has lined up. Pugh has asked for a decision by Wednesday.

Pugh is a hard no at any place that gets wind of his black face photo. Probably why he wants a quick answer.

I feel bad for him with how it’s unfolding but this stuff is his responsibility

I just don’t see how Pruitt can be back after all of this.

Kentucky 30 balled us, but yea, the fans are to blame for this sh*t show.

AP isn’t but Mr 3-7 sure did.

If he gave us something to support we would gladly do so.

A.M thread is lit

IMO, If Mullen leaves Florida for the NFL Kiffin will get a deal he can't turn down and be in Gainesville on the next flight. Florida and Kiffin would be a wicked combo for many years to come. I could absolutely see Kiffin running the east every year in Gainesville.

This right here.

If you are absolutely terrified that a coach is gonna go to your rival, then you pretty much know he is the hire that you need to make.

Think on this one for a minute guys and gals. Let me help you out: Spurrier on steroids.

So Steele is our new coach?
