Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[itsme]

Again, Fulmer’s record without Cut was 61-26. That’s pretty alright.

That's an average of 8.4 wins per season, with Cutt averaged 10.2 wins per season with a 72-15 record. I rest my case.

 

[VeeOhElEsYes]

Nothing happening at 4:25

We cain't quit you potential coaching search

 

[#JuanVol]

4:25 eastern, central, pacific? Need to know so I can plan the rest of my day.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Imagine it. Its 630PM January 9th, 2021. Pruitt gets fired & there is an energy in the air. An energy we haven't seen in a while because of the possibility of bringing in a Lane Kiffin or Hugh Freeze to come in, score some points and win games. Established coaches who have won in the SEC who have a passion, a fire for this league. But then? Leaks begin to trickle out. Jimmy Hyams reports Bill Bellicheck has accepted an offer, Austin Price is seen screaming at fans on VolQuest and Rob Lewis is recording a podcast with Kermit the Frog talking about how COVID-19 is a hoax. Something isn't right....

Then! A tweet from the official Vol Football account pops up, Welcome To Rocky Top! We scroll to see Douglas "1-15" Marrone is announced as our coach. His introductory press conference is quiet, he mentions how his BLISTERING .388 winning percentage as a HC will be an asset for 4 star recruits, of which only ONE has ever played for him. The 64 year old posters on VN erupt in joy as they twist themselves into believing a man who barely won at Syracuse in the Big East can now lead Rocky Top to beating Alabama! The administration laughs, Brent Hubbs collects another $9.95, and in 2021 we beat Vanderbilt on a last second hail mary, cherishing our newly dominant program after a 2-10 finish.

What a turn of events!

I'm hoping this is bad enough that only one man would take the Job. Rev. Freeze. If not, bring me Billy

Graham?

 

[Ace]

He was also previously the QB coach at UNC. Was Trebisky’s coach.

Heckendorf is a better QB coach than anyone on our staff

 

[UTProf]

Any coach worth a flip wouldn't tolerate that type of micro management. If Pruitt needs to be micro managed to that extent, he shouldn't have been hired in the first place.

Mountains are being made out of ant hills. This ish isn’t even molehill size. If you’re mad at the inaction blame the power brokers. They are the ones that firings and big time hires go through (not Fulmer) and it’s clear they haven’t been ponying up and have only recently started seriously considering firing Pruitt.

I’m all for firing Pruitt but this nice little tie up of Pruitt and Fulmer together is a Haslam power move. Folks are being led by the nose and can’t see that shiny bridle that’s been slid around them with “property of Jimmy” stamped on the side.

Holy crap. I just came off of a 16 hour Cobra Kai bender... when does season 4 come out???

Best show on tv

 

[Batman1948]

Expect very important news 4:25 today. Something a lot of you have been waiting on is going to happen.

Is that your tee time

 

[TNHopeful505]

I believe the investigation stuff will come to a close sometime next week.

And what results do you anticipate when it does?

pffft. Airwolf still plays in syndication.

 

[Nuctech777]

I’m disappointed that none of you caught the irony of me asking, “Who the heck?”

It was rhetorical. His name is Heckendorf. UT has broken their fanbase!

 

[05_never_again]

Is that your tee time

If so, how many holes is he planning on playing this time of year? 3?

Cobra Kai is really good. But Yellowstone for the win

Cobra Kai is really good. But Yellowstone for the win

Those two are my favs atm as well.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Atlanta Vol = Brent Hubbs?

Finkle is Einhorn
Einhorn is Finkle!

 

[SLICKYINC]

Baylor on there 2nd OL coach in a week. UT is awesome.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

If a move is made, give me Freeze, Napier or Chadwell. Still not convinced Pruitt is ousted though. Fulmer wants him here, along with several key players that Fulmer is backed by. We’ll see.

Fulmer is blinded and being a fool if he wants to keep Pruitt.

 

[UTProf]

And just like that VN loves the Haslams

This has been the plan all along. It’s why they delayed moving and I would bet the farm withheld support for a new hire unless it was linked to firing Fulmer. Meanwhile we’re bad mouthing the only guy who ever did anything for us and reading it from a script handed to us by the very men who got us into this mess. And not one direct quote from Fulmer to support any of it.

Hubbs was on 104.5 earlier.

“Some decision has to be made really soon. You have players scheduled to return to campus for class in 12 days. Not all these kids will be able to just hit the portal and find a new place if they want.”

Are they using this to try to keep players from hitting the portal?

No offense but it is pretty open knowledge that Fulmer wants to keep Pruitt while everyone else in the world knows a change is needed. I thank him for his service and his time as our coach, but he is hurting our program right now by backing Pruitt. But Phil will always be respected by this fanbase no matter when Pruitt is fired.

If Dabo leaves then um.. yeah.

Clemson isn’t a place that even looks at big name coaches. They hit the jackpot with Dabo, chances are Venables or Tony Elliott would get the job if he leaves for Alabama. I wouldn’t expect either of those guys to match what he’s done at all

If is a big word.
I think he leaves but it doesent guarantee anything.
Clemson has money they’ll match what he’s offered. Considering what others have said though why make it tougher to get championships if you don’t have to.

 

[hotcypress]

Whatever happened to EazyTD and GoFightWin? those dudes usually had pretty good info

 

[Dudleys87]

If a few of the ACC teams would get their act together. Who would have thought FSU would lose their hold on ACC.

Turnover and money killed the program.
