Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[IN Jed]

I reached out to someone sort of in the know if you will after AV’s post. He did not get into too much specifics but it’s not just paying the hotel room bill. Now is it on the Louisville basketball team level? I don’t know if it’s that deep.

What was the hostess program called under kiffin? I recall seeing pictures of recruits with nice young ladies in Vols gear.

nearly 200 pages behind with an hour before work, what have I missed since Wednesday

Wanya Morris is in the portal. National media called UTAD a bad SNL skit. The BOT, boosters, and UTAD are burning the program down in attempt to avoid paying Pruitt a $12M buyout. ATL said it's about to get worse. Oh and Jeff Fisher wants to be our next head coach. Can't make this Shiano up. GBO

This place is gonna meltdown when Too Too is announced.

Not gonna happen. He is all Vol.

Wanye isnt in portal yet. He submitted paperwork.

I would take Jeff Fisher as coach right now.

Here's a prediction... Sometime in the next week, or maybe two, the investigation will present their findings. Pruitt will be dismissed. Fulmer will retire with a thanks for all your help. Quickly, a new Ad will be named and I believe Freeze will be introduced as the new head coach.

I think they are talking with Freeze right now. I think they already have the AD lined up.

I know this will get pushback but it's the only real option left to them. You don't put a hiring freeze on your coach if you don't already have something on your mind.

Of course, this is UT so...

I've never been more discouraged about Tennessee football. I'm ashamed that our administration is incompetent beyond measure. They continue to make us a national laughing stock and I see no good outcomes in regards to this situation. I hope I'm wrong but there doesn't seem to be a glimmer of hope right now

 

[BP4Prez]

I know how this is going to go, but I’m going to do it anyways. I’m afraid we are going to have a hard time getting anyone to take this job once it’s all over with. So how about Les Miles? And yes. I know he just went 0-9 at Kansas. Ok, I’m ready for my beating.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

I really hope Skip Holtz can lead us to 6 wins next season

maybe we can get Terry Bowden after La Monroe cans him

Disagree. Pruitt stays, goes 6-6 next year and gets an extension after doubling his win total. No coach will ever want to come to this toxic situation.

If the thing with the strippers and credit cards is true, you can kiss the Freeze hire goodbye. No way in hell they would hire him then

Guys I don’t post too much but keep active. I spend a lot of my time on here as a fun just like many of you. I go to as many games as I can throughout the year to yell and support. I was there for the Oklahoma game (had a headache for 2 days) and many of 2010-2013 years. I love my VOLS and it’s player of now and future. I invest many hours as a fan all I can do. I always take up for my team but this is just too much. It’s too old and the admin doesn’t care why should I. My kids are growing up and my weekends used to revolve around VOLS football. I’ve turned many friends into vols fans cuz they see my excitement and love. I just can’t do it anymore. More important things out there. I hope it all turns around and they do what’s right for TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS. I’ll see you guys when I see you

Eh, at this point I'm not sure it really matters. The football program is all but dead anyway. All that would be is another sign.

That hire was already a no go anyway but you're right.

You're not the only one that feels that way. Enjoy your kids. Life is short

A lot of these kids don’t know if they want to be apart of this program going forward because they feel their coach is being strung along and too many moron fans are attacking him and the program.

According to a source, Gators head coach Dan Mullen has an interview with the NY Jets in the next few days.

8-4

Whatever. Some mediocre record.

 

[Vfl2407]

This song sums it up best saying how Vol fans feel about the UT Administration right now.
#Warning. Explicit lyrics .

Here’s a prediction: Pruitt is fired for cause next week and the ugliness of the investigation hurts our standing in coaching circles.

Fulmer is still involved, but will be very vocal in his unhappiness given we fired his handpicked candidate. He will be part of a committee making the next hire - his opinion will be counted but only about 25% as strong as it was in 2017 when Davenport handed everything over to him.

We employ a search committee like usual who gives us a B-tier group of coaches. We’re turned down by one or two after we’ve interviewed them.

After a long search, much longer than we expected, we land on a candidate like Chadwell, Leipold, or Monken.

Fulmer stays on the job for another 6-12 months, then retires when he has enough distance from this to feel like the optics are right.

Good Lord, you have to be a Bama troll.
