Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[SLICKYINC]

Remember the days when it was a dead period and we’d talk about cheeseburgers and whatnot, then people would get pissed because we weren’t talking recruiting stuff?

Good times, boys.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Also fired from Miami because the NFL found he was complicit in the bullying scandal. He was suspended from Texas A&M due to sexist remarks at a women's clinic and he got into trouble for referring to one of his own players as a thug during a zoom meeting this season.

How does he keep getting jobs if he sucks so bad? I agree..I think he sucks too, but why do these organizations keep giving him jobs?

 

[DustyRockSolid]

I get a kick out of a lot of you folks who think Fulmer hasn’t done well in this position. This time a year ago I’d venture to say most people on this site were fans. He’s simply standing behind his man because he thinks it’s what’s best for this football program. I’ll side with him over any of you.

10 points from gryffindor!!!

 

[Tennessee Stud]

So we still have 20 ppg Chaney. Oof.

And we just lost our 2 best pass rushers and best CB. Maybe we improve on defense, but people also thought we'd have a top 10 defense this year too. Pruitt proved them wrong.

We'll never win big with Chaney under Pruitt though. He and Pruitt churn out garbage, whoever is at fault idc. Just a terrible combo.

I will say I’ve never been the biggest fan of Chaney. Even when he was here the first time. I think he’s good, but certainly not great. If we get just decent QB play next year it will change a lot.

 

[Deebowbear]

HC Pruitt
OC Chaney
RB Graham
OL Turner
DC Steele
DL Gardner ?
LB ?
DB?

Could Pruitt really back door this into a good staff?

You cant be serious right

 

[Devo182]

If we are stuck with Pruitt next years staff will be atrocious
it’s one thing to come in and rearrange your entire life for what you suspect will be a one year deal. It’s a whole other thing to come in and do that under someone who has developed the reputation of being impossible to get along with. His reputation is now spreading in the coaching circles

Only incentive to taking the job is cash. Get ready for low grade mercenaries who are just here for a buck and won’t recruit worth crap since they don’t expect to last

Perfectly well put. And this will be a continuous issue from now till he leaves. It's not getting better unless he can buy a new personality.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

At this point it is safe to say he is just getting his buddies paid..he knows he is done.

 

[SLICKYINC]

If anyone wants to know who’s pistachios are better between Costcos or Sams club. I’m your guy.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

I'm sure he's pretty good. He wasn't in the top 20 punters on 247, but most of the top 20 are all Australian now.

 

[Dudleys87]

You cant be serious right

When am I ever?

 

[Lane Train 4]

Pruitt been fired yet?

 

[JCVol00]

The fact how we are actually considering Jim Turner as our OL is an absolute disgrace

 

[Weezer]

So you're an expert on DN?

 

[scvolfan7]

Does the possibility of Steele and Garner cause you to rethink firing Pruitt?

On paper yes but I wonder if steele and Pruitt would get along. Then what if we fire Pruitt? Does Phil just try to promote steele lol

Let’s hear it then.

I’m modest so I’ll go with novice.

We've already seen Chaney + all our current QBs already and it wasn't pretty. Unless a transfer QB comes in or Salter tears it up, I don't see much changing. Chaney can't elevate even good/decent QB play. He needs a surplus of talent and we don't have it right now.

If Pruitt ever wants to survive he needs to go ALL in on a modern OC and give them 100% control and never say a word to them. Let them practice and prep however they want. The guy has no idea what he's doing with modern HIGH SCORING offenses. And now his defense is showing its age too.

One of these days

 

[Dudleys87]

One of these days

It’s just one of those days?

 

[Nashvegas31]

If you remove Turners time with Bengals where it’s been no OL talent to work with he actually has a really nice college coaching resume from his stints with AM. When he was OL for Sherman, he had 3 first rd picks in Joekcel, Matthews and some other guy. Then he was sumlins OL coach

Yeah look up his power point presentations and get back to me.

Wouldn’t hurt my feelings if we did what you and many others want on offense. I do think Slim’s salary is asinine. Grossly overpaid. I still think we’re looking at an 8 win football team this next year with the defense being much improved.

 

[snowvols]

The Jonathan Martin bullying case too. He wasn't fired from the Dolphins for not preventing it, but actively participating and encouraging it. He had a run in with one of his players at Cincy this year too.
