Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

AP just said that this job will not be attractive at all to prospective coaches because of these violations. Steele it is

AP is just mad his boy got ousted. Lol

 

[m1al]

100 percent.

If you can’t have Fulmer around, the place is fractured.

Wasn't saying he shouldn't EVER be allowed on campus.. He just doesn't need to be a "fixture", constantly hanging around the facilities...

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

I did not know the final outcome. I knew they had a lot on him, and I knew Fulmer was in equal jeopardy. People wanted them both gone, so removing Pruitt likely meant removing Fulmer-- which some did not want to do this year. I thought the direction changed when Pruitt went with a Birmingham attorney (Bama grad and Saban pal). That switch was telling. Like I said, UT made a bold move. Hope Plowman is an excellent chess player. We'll see.

Simonton needed to be ran off

I liked listening. But, i'm a radio guy. Always enjoy a different view point.

AP is spewing nonsense. Tennessee is probably going to self impose a bowl ban and then the NCAA will come in and take a few scholarships away. Simple.

Productivity (for those working today) is at 0!!

 

[Kingzport]

this is cool stuff....in my previous place of employment it wasn't all that uncommon for higher level mangers, etc. to come and go.
A guy that worked for me, his mother was the real estate broker that had the contract for corporate relocations for our company.
We always knew who was coming in and in some cases leaving well before any announcements were made.

Exactly... but who knows what is happening.. just throwing some info out that may be helpful around here.. may be completely false or could be 100% true. Who knows.. deff don’t want no cred here or trying to get any. Figured fellow Vol fans could use some info for the day.

 

[StoVol]

Imagine committing multiple level 1 violations and still sucking and going 3-7

We can't even cheat right! Happy day tho! Burn this sh to the ground!

 

[Brick_By_Brick]

I doubt the NCAA will ever give the death penalty again. Smu was only program that ever got it

If PSU didn’t get it for ignoring evidence of Sandusky’s horrid crimes, no one will get it.

If that’s the worst punishment we get then so be it.

Finished it yesterday, damn good show. Made me want to dust off the chess set and pawn some fools

 

[SLICKYINC]

Price say this will be a stability hire with all the issues going on. Herman probably won't be that guy. I'm have been and am still leaning towards Marrone. Fulmer retiring won't change his candidacy chances. He would've been the coach if the deal with Butch had fell through in late 2012.

Stability hire translation.... 8 year rebuild.

And that’s very bad

 

[aRmo]

This hire WILL NOT be a stability hire. They have to get this right. We are standing on the edge of no return atm. The wrong hire and we plummet into Vanderbilt level darkness.

Can we ban ourself from something we don't qualify for?

Queen sacrifices aren't for amateurs. She'd better have game.

AP just stated they were told multiple level 1s.

I have heard rumors of Level 1 violations at UT since April of this year. I was told they were being very careless. Other P5 schools have heard about this, but I doubt if any schools would turn us in.
I did not think Fulmer would let investigation go this far. I have said on VN that Pruitt would stay unless major violation, but I believed the violations were real. Again, I thought Fulmer had enough clout at UT to protect Pruitt.
Obviously someone above Fulmer let the investigation go beyond him. Pruitt and Fulmer are attached at the hip. It is best to clean this up now, but it looks like it is going to be bad.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Same

 

[Kingston Vol]

When you factor in potential NCAA sanctions, dysfunction at the highest levels of the athletic department, a gutted roster (that just won only three games), and the perception we rail-roaded our coach out of here, I think we could start hitting the bottom of the coaching pool very quickly.

I have a hard time seeing how this thing gets past Chadwell though.

Edit: and, also, we're probably going to ask the next head coach to keep Steele on staff.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Chris Low says multiple level 1's. We're screwed

But it’s our dream come true today right?

Likely

 

[sspineda]

I think many of us have felt strongly that Pruitt should be let go. And many have felt Fulmer needed to move on. But I'd love to hear more from @Atlanta VOL about why today is a day for celebrating dreams coming true. Obviously, you're well-connected. And it seems like this is a necessary step, but hardly a day of celebration.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Basilio said Plowman is making calls to top level boosters. The word is Pruitt, Nieds gone. Fulmer resigning. 6 other athletic department people out. Multiple lvl 1's. No coach before an AD is hired.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Basilio says no Coach until AD hired
