Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Dudley Smith]

Basilio had former Mike Detilier on yesterday and ran through the possible coaching candidates to replace Pruitt. Cliffs' notes here:

Soooo what if it comes out that Fulmer was the only one blocking Freeze from being hired then what what’s your outlook on fulmer then.

 

[Dudleys87]

Malzahn will count his money and spend next year on Saban's staff as an offensive analyst.

I really just don’t want it to be Marrone. Tennessee has every opportunity to be better than some of their rivals for once and they’ll prolly mess it up

Fulmer already nailed his own coffin shut by publicly backing Pruitt

I wouldn’t say he’s publicly backed Pruitt

Sources: Bryan Harsin planning to hire Mike Bobo, Will Friend from South Carolina

South Carolina had several current HCs turn them down. They are a mess. Unfortunately it looks like we are too

Wait what??

 

[SLICKYINC]

Coaches don’t even want their names leaked as possible replacements. Can’t even make this sh!t up. Lol

 

[Sugaray13]

Gotcha. Lower on mine because I know him and his personality. Scared of his stubbornness but would love to be proven wrong.

After being fired maybe he would see the need to would change.

“Detillier On Hugh Freeze:

'Like him or not he wins. He's a great offensive coach. Didn't even need the players on the line to recruit. He'd be the first call I'd make.'


What I believe..

When you might be turning yourself into the SEC/NCAA at the end of the Pruitt mess ... how do you hire a coach with Hugh's baggage. And I love Freeze otherwise but this seems like a huge impediment.”

Yeah he's not the answer here.

I mean they might hire him I don't know. And he's probably a great coach. But no matter what his experience is, recruits and parents would have to Google his name. He would have to prove himself in every living room.

We would have to be willing to give him a long time to build it. This admin has to know our fans aren't patient enough for a hire like this.

Gonna need a link or file this in the "made up crap" folder.

Do it anyway just to spite the SEC front office

I’d like to cancel my 2021 subscription.

I’ve experienced the 7 day trial and I am not interested.

Ok. Sure. My stance on Fulmer needs its own place

Fulmer won't be able to block the next HC hire. Won't be his hire to make.

 

[Dudleys87]

Expecting him here for spring ball and next year isn’t backing him publicly? Ok.

I just know there’s a lot older folks in here and former players from back in the day who still hold some animosity towards fulmer because they feel like he was Campaigning for the HC position behind closed doors while majors was out and fulmer had his 4 game winning streak.Fulmer isnt like as much as people think.which why I tried to get a feel on where people stood if that were the reason

 

[UTSuave’]

That’s how I feel about it!

It would be great if he did. Man has a great Offensive mind. He just needs to lose the feeling that he's smarter than every Defensive mind. I've heard that Herman has the same affliction.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

He kinda did with the bowl acceptance statement IMO.

 

[Dudleys87]

If the AA is gonna be here anyway hire Feeeze and give them a room at the hotel down the street. Hell with it!

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Freeze
Napier
Chadwell
Malzahn


Get one and roll.

Why isn’t Herman on the list?
