Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[HoleInTheRoof]

I don't see us making a good hire here. This is a $hit show. Coaches all talk and the way this whole situation has been handled matters. I hope I am wrong.

Yeah if there is one thing we can be certain of... it’s that we’re not going to end up with a good coach when this is done. History has proven this.

Do we “fire” or “mutually agree to part ways”

We "decide to go in a different direction"

 

[BruinVol]

Only on VN can we completely hate the thought of Bobo and Friend being on our staff next season and then a few weeks later auburn be seen as doing a great job of hiring assistants while laughing at USCe for losing them.

Why would the Mays boys do this and then go out with a recruit considering Tennessee?

From my understanding the initial violation wasn't intentionally revealed to cause damage to anyone. Which leads me to believe others inside the program then took that information, talked to Trey Wallace, and that brings us to where we are today.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Probably best if we all just wait until Pruitt is fired before ranting/raving about every coach under the sun.

I dont think Texas ever offered him

Theoretically if Herman became coach what do we think that would mean for Salter? Did he even consider Texas?

Not if you want to make it look like your investigation was legitimate. Spending $500k to try to get out of $13M makes sense.

The other benefit of hiring outside counsel is that it makes your results more immune from accusations of bias. Plus having a second round of interviews with different interviewers gets you a second bite at the elusive apple in these investigations: lying. In investigations that are employment related, the worst thing you can ever do is lie. That's what gets you the "for cause" more than anything.

While it's not a 100% equivalent scenario, think of Pearl and his case. Pearl's biggest mistake in that investigation was lying. If he would have owned up to the photo and the bbq, he would probably still be running shirtless through TBA.

So you're saying it can from @UTSuave’ ? Checks out

heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!

I think this is a be careful what you wish for case.

If too much of this gets out, Tennessee will be a disaster and none of the coaches will want to touch this place. And players will leave and recruits will bail.

Best case is, keep as much internal as you can, fire and hire quick like Texas and move on and don’t bring it up. Only say what has to be said.

Hope for UT's sake, they have been reaching out to a Herman or Malzhan and sign a deal quickly. We do not want to drag this on and get publicly embarrassed.

Please don’t fire with cause. Just pay the buyout and try to part as peacefully as possible before more is unveiled, and then we face major sanctions!!

Too late for that, compliance is already involved.

 

[InstrumentalVol]

My top 3 choices are

1) Freeze
2) Herman
3) Shut the doors forever

 

[VolMan1017]

Snap! Chad Withrow said it’s a player who was the whistle blower. Stupidly told on themselves apparently so they started investigating

Sounds very much "easier said than done" for our great administration to pull off.

So which opinion are you arguing-- UT hired Glazier to say "fire him" or hired him to run a legitimate investigation? Because there's no guarantee a "legitimate investigation" will support firing with cause and the risk that entails.

whoa!

How dumb are people these days? Seriously putting everything on Social Media, forgetting everyone has a recording device in their hand now etc.

 

[Skizer41]

This isn't directed at you, all of us in general. Can we refrain from speculating on player names?

I agree. Which is why I mentioned it apparently wasn't intentionally done by the player. No player informed Trey Wallace of this. If there is a public opinion trial it shouldn't be on the player. It should be on the person in the program that gave Trey the fuel.

Bobo and Friend is a D hire, C at best.

 

[KB5252]

Chris Lowe & Mark Schlabach reporting about this now? Its over yall. Get yourself some Chik-Fil-A, put on your favorite UT hoodie & start the flight trackers.

This is the worst possible scenario being played out. Forget the flight trackers, nobody worth tracking to be tracked.

 

[Blake25p]

I think the thing saving Pruitt was the lack of national media reporting on the investigation, now that they’re staring to pick up on it I wouldn’t be shocked if a move is made sooner rather than later IMO.
