That's the biggest question I have with Philly - how the GM has lasted that long.

Nepotism

 

[BruinVol]

99.99% of fans would be elated if they just hired Hugh Freeze. They’re making this way too hard.

pleasing the fan base shouldn’t be the goal of the hire

Thats how we got to this place

 

[Ten_Titans]

They want to win. That’s all that matters to them. When he wins they won’t care at all.

There's other, better coaches they could easily get.

Whatever money it takes, bring Kiffin back. Doesn’t matter about appearances or anything. We are already a joke in the media. Bring him in. He will recruit as good as anyone we can bring here. His offensive scheme is as good as anyone we can bring in. Kick Fulmer out too if he interjects. He isn’t an AD anyways. We are literally about to turn into Nebraska. It’s desperation time.

I hate to tell you this but we're already there

Nebraska will never be the Nebraska of old
Herman got a raw deal because the oil wells got in the way is common sense
Norvell is a product of a broken budget and ancient facilities
Babers is in Syracuse. Where it’s cold and hold as hell.

Nebraska has lost to NW 2 of 3 (like us losing to Vandy), lost to Troy in year one.
Texas lost to TCU 3 of 4 (and that is definitely like us losing to Vandy). I was born in Texas.
FSU may be broken, but they lost 5 games by 16+ this year.
Babers went 1-10.

If Marrone is such a great coach why is he not getting any interviews for NFL jobs?!?!?

Since you're old fashioned, I guess you also do what your boss tells you to do so you earn a paycheck..

Not gonna throw a game....you lose all credibility to the players you want max effort out of. Guess I would get fired. Well I wouldn’t want to work for a boss like that anyway!!

 

[90 Vol]

I just have my reservations, we will see how it plays out

I agree with you. Actually, Freeze checks all the boxes for me but I doubt that our admin will go there with the NCAA stuff. If we hired Chadwell, I would like to see some SEC level assistants (particularly on defense). Possibly Steele and Garner

 

[drvenner]

Most in the SEC and sixth-most nationally.







Cannot do without Mr. Ward’s input....

Best post of the day!! True VFL and well-deserving of the HOF.

He's not. Folks are just trying to polish a turd.

That isn't true at all. Pruitt, Butch, and Dooley would all have been at or near the absolute bottom of 99% of fan wish lists.

and he no longer is... so there ya go

14 year old Trevor Lawrence talking about Tennessee being his dream school at the end of the video.

 

[VolGee4]

Most fans have an unrealistic wish list. Like people thinking Jay Wright would come coach basketball on multiple occasions.

That's the biggest question I have with Philly - how the GM has lasted that long.

Here's a good article running down the state of affairs in Philly. Oof:

 

[Catbone]

They don’t care what we think as long as we buy tickets and gear.

So don't!

 

[Volfanatic_20]

Tennessee and Jeremy Pruitt are WORKING to finalize a deal to add Kevin Steele as a defensive assistant. The hope would is to have the deal final in the next day or so. Working through language on a contract.

-VQ

Already been stated but here it is

 

[Volfanatic_20]

It doesn't feel like things are good for Pruitt based on the fact that attorneys at $500 an hour have been in Knoxville investigating things the football program since mid-November. Those around Pruitt insist that they don't have him on anything. Others seem to think differently. So we will see what happens. What comes out of the investigation with Pruitt, where is Plowman, Boyd and the Board of Trustees with things.

-Hubbs

 

[Gilbert]

Basilio, like him or not, is plugged in right now. He had the Steele news first.

 

[jordan4vols]

Well there it is. He's back.

 

[snowvols]

-VQ

Already been stated but here it is

There are lots of rumors that he's close to joining Miami as DC too. He would probably be better off being an analyst here and getting his $5 million from Auburn.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

If y'all spend all of your outrage on outcomes that haven't yet occurred, you may be too tired for a proper riot after the hire is made.

I’ve alrighty convinced myself every possible candidate is either the second coming of Saban or Dooley so I’m prepared either way.

Do your worst UT admin.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

HITR was right, Pruitt is coming back. Okay, give me Garner too and please add a dynamic offensive assistant to fix that side of the ball. Bring me Gilbert and Big Kat and let's roll.
