Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[drvenner]

For those of you that think all of this will be better for us in the long run as long as Pruitt is let go, have very short memories. This is Tennessee. We are not going to get a slap on the wrist. The NCAA will bring their big hammers against us to show Alabama, Georgia and Florida just how serious they are about compliance.

Just a few days ago you were laughing at everyone and being smug about "what made everyone accept the inevitable?" when we all felt like Pruitt was coming back.

I have no doubts you are well-sourced and in a position where you get legitimate information, however, you have bounced around as much as anyone else.

Hahaha, from someone who has certainly "bounced around."

I was 99% he is coming back until the Lowe report dropped yesterday. Don’t see Chris saying that unless he has been told some solid info

What did he say? I can’t keep up anymore. Have to skip 60 pages every day

Rando poster on VQ:

Said that the reason for the investigation was not anyone upset or a whistleblower. Said it was a player that made a dumb mistake and caused it. Said it was a player with many dumb tweets over the last month and played like a JV player when given an opportunity. Just assume they meant Mauer

Definitely a Florida guy

 

[drvenner]

If this University fires Pruitt for a reduced buyout and hires Freeze in the same day, these fools ain’t playing checkers no more.

This is Tennessee. We are still playing tiddly-winks.

Mike Farrell says Gilbert wanted to come to Tennessee until all of this went down. Now he’ll likely go to uga or Alabama or Florida.

Being a fan of this team is a curse

Paraphrased: Lowe said he didn’t see anyway Pruitt could come back after this. Endorsed Freeze and Marrone.

Hopefully, the only Arch that Kiffin will have in 2023 is the brand new one at the McD's he is assistant manager at.

About to buy my first house to flip. If anyone on this forum works construction or is a GC let me know. Almost 100% of the work will be hired. Always looking to help my Vol brethren out.

I’ve got a dude who may be of service. Email me

 

[BruinVol]

Inappropriate "maybe". . . .

Yea sure it’s inappropriate

The “maybe” was referring to the question of should a demeaning inappropriate tweet directed at a controversial political figure be a fireable offense. If it is there would a lot of people without jobs these days.

 

[MemphisVol3]

Sarkisian is getting ready to build a powerhouse of a staff there.

Having this play out in the media is disastrous for UT.

They have screwed this up in so many different ways.

Classic UT. Have an incredibly easy decision (fire JP for performance) and botch it in the worst way possible

 

[Kingston Vol]

If I know UT like I think I do, Gus and Marrone will be the top candidates. Both will be hard to get deals done with for a myriad of reasons - but not impossible.

I tend to believe head coaching experience will be prioritized, but we don't *know* that to be the case until the job is open and people like Hubbs, Hyams, Feldman, etc. release their initial lists.

Given that, I would imagine Napier and Herman are in the next tier and someone like Chadwell is further down the list.

If you get past them, all bets are off. I'd guess it ends up like Auburn in which you pluck a coach that is unhappy at his current place.

Freeze
Napier
Fickell

If we fire Pruitt and hire one of these guys the same day it will be a great day in Vols history.

What the hell is happening at USCj

 

[SLICKYINC]

Damn, no coach will be able to put together a decent staff the longer this goes on.

[jakez4ut]

we. suck.

Yep....including Pruitt if that is what happens.

 

[UTSuave’]

WOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW we are F**ed!...time to get ole garner off the shelf.

 

[seaofORANGE22]

I kinda wonder if we've just had Freeze in our back pocket for awhile. There was lots of smoke around that a few weeks ago.

 

[rekinhavoc]

Honestly who is willing to die on a cross for a 3-7 coach? Pay him to leave.

 

[SLICKYINC]

I declare this day, 13/7/2020 officially CRAP!
