Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Devo182]

Am I the only one that think they need to change the rules to help out the Defense? I mean, this is crazy

Nah defenses need to adjust. Maybe more dime. More CB heavy/nickel recruiting. Lighter pass coverage LBs. Idk the answer obviously...just ideas.

Idk any rules that changed recently. All the big teams just FINALLLY took up the big 12 "pansy" spread offenses and kicked old man ball to the curb. Now defenses have to learn and adjust.

 

[Tennessee Stud]

Yep. My thought was " At least we'll have a stout defense". Boy how I was wrong. Pruitt isn't some defensive mastermind. He's average at best.

His name has literally been floated for every single job opening. That’s for a reason. Insert your name into searches that make you look desirable.

Freeze is a good coach but he’s getting black balled for a reason

Matt Campbell’s name has been floated for 4 years now. He being blackballed too?

 

[TENN MAN 13]

I wish I would of never watched this coaches film session feed because I will never be satisfied with anyone coaching the Vols again but Freeze

We are so stupid, he would be INCREDIBLE here.

 

[Devo182]

So how does CFB fix this? The supposed top 4 teams I think just got proven that they are nowhere close. Does expansion really help? The natty shouldn't be this wide of a gap.

Meh it's 1 game. In a covid year, variance was going to happen. But we've had some good championship games though since the 2012 notre dame beatdown.

 

[Smokeytom]

Lmao Freeze repeats a Maxim during the broadcast, please hire this man

Going to be hard to GAF when we go with a boring NFL FFCA member over Freeze. I’m not even totally out on Marrone, but c’mon man. The exciting hire is right there basically quoting our maxims. Suck it up. Get off your high horse. Hire the man.

Money and cheating has ruined college football. Tennessee paid 4 million dollars to a coach that cheated and won 3 games.

I know it will probably never happen, but I would love to see Tank and T Mac run as 2 smaller cover linebackers

True, I guess just this is ridiculous.

He only wants certain jobs. Freeze has floated his own name. Pretty clear.

 

[SCvol333]

I’ve come to 2 realizations:

1) College football is the greatest sport to follow. Absolutely enchanting. Everything about it.

2) College football games... are the worst product on TV.

I will give butch this. At least it was interesting. This is boring. Like announcers at baseball games trying to fill the void

I am mainly talking about the downfield lineman rule. Make it 1 yard not 3. Thats just a crazy crazy rule that kills the defense trying to read the play.

He hasn't been able to recruit the talent needed to compete, he hasn't been able to coach up the talent needed to compete. Please direct me to success he's had defensively getting blown out by mediocre teams.

Current off field role. Currently. Love this hire... Now get Garner here.

Callahan saying it would be on-field if he comes.

How confident are you it would be off-field?

That 3-3-5 defense the guy from Cincy seemed to look decent

2. Things I would like to see, but I think it wouldn't kill offenses too much. Be stricter on holding. Let DB's/ WR be more physical down field.

 

[tn88volfan]

Get used to it....Bama will end up with 8-10 Five stars in this class

IF? So it's not for sure?

Yep. And enforce it

 

[mr.checkerboards]

@HankHill If Pruitt wasn't too stubborn do you think we have the personnel to go 425 next year? It might be what has to be done against Bama and UF

 

[De La Cloobs]

The best hire (Freeze) is just sitting there begging to get hired and our administration is going to sh*t the bed... again. We are in this mess because of nobody else but them.

Honestly, idk if ppl know. VQ saying onfield. 247 saying off.
