Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[itsme]

Tennessee football has a deep rooted culture problem. It has remained through multiple coaches, ADs, presidents, and chancellors.

Things will not change until an incredible leader arrives on the scene and starts creating a healthy culture. That leader can be at any of the above levels, it just takes one person to start changing things.

Until that person shows up, this will remain our plight.

Agree, that person should be Al Wilson. Who'd want to piss that guy off by starting ish?

Point of my first post regarding this being: we don’t utilize the RPO like other teams. We don’t take advantage of the rules in college (OL being able to block 3 yards downfield on pass plays vs 1 yard in the NFL) like other teams do.

Watch this clip and look how far downfield a couple of these OL are blocking on what turns out to be a pass play.

I think that rule needs to be changed to the NFL rule. In today's college game teams are calling straight up run plays and then throwing out of them which is garbage. I think every team trys to take advantage of it. Not having a TE that the defense has to really account for hurts us and TE is very important in the RPO era. Our QB's weren't scaring and body with their run games. So teams can zone it up and take away the quick hitters.

On another note, if Marshall really let Doc Holliday walk to hire Brad Lambert then it sounds like they’re auditioning to be the next terrible admin at UT

At least the Governor isn't calling the shots in our case. That was speculated at Marshall.

I love Al, but the reason why that guy was such a leader and looked at as a leader was because the team was freaking good.

The success comes first, then leaders emerge. It's hard to lead if you stink.

Maybe he should...

Great hire.. but this offense is the disaster

Serious question, not trying to be a jerk.

Are there any staff changes on offense that would make you (and the other Never-Pruitts) say he should get another year?

 

[rikberry31]

Run pass option when they ran it was run with Najee (handoff or fake handoff) or pass. QB doesn’t have to be able to run

I understand that but QB that is threat to run sucks the LB's up even more.

This classic is still the perfect gif for last 15 years. It’s exactly how I feel right now. Change my mind.

You'll always stink without a leader.

Pruitt changes staff like most people change their underwear.

Getting behind Pruitt because of staff changes is a sucker's move. He's the problem, not the staff.

Haha so stupid if true

Not if the players are not put in a position to succeed.

Why the f was Hyatt and Wideman not used more?

You'll be pretty good if you have some talent, but nothing beyond that. Leadership is often the difference between good and great, but not bad and great.

Tennessee's biggest problem is that the coaches we've hired have stunk. They cannot develop talent, cannot manage staffs, and are bad in-game coaches.

I'm going to have to change my AVI back. I'm starting to confuse myself. I see the AVI and think "Let's see what @LA Vol has to say.". Then I read it and realize it's me.

Which is definitely not worth reading...

Sure. Hire a Jeff Lebby, Art Briles type and give him a free hand. I'm not a never Pruitt or anybody else, but this is a results oriented business.

I can agree with that but.................im sure we have discussed this over time, JG couldnt read a defense. The kid was all heart but he was not a P5 QB in the SEC.
