Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

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

 

[SSVol]

I'd say that the number of Vols fans that wanted Pruitt gone is pretty small; for most it isn't personal. Most just want to win and believe him to be incapable of delivering that.

I have infinitely more confidence in Phillip than anyone on that campus right now.

Boyd is a politician, Plowman an academic. Do either of them own a ring?

Phillip, who in his 2+ years as AD managed to find himself in more hot water during an investigation of his hand picked HC. That guy you have more confidence in?

I just feel like no one is stabbing him in the back, it sounds like he was running things the way he wanted and got left to it. Once all the evidence was brought up Boyd/Plowman had to get involved, and like most intelligent people would in the business world they waited until the facts revealed themselves and then made the decision they felt necessary.

Nobody is more excited about a UT coaching search than Mike Gundy

Yikes x 1000.

I mean, come on Alontae. Your head coach cheated AND he sucked. Are you really surprised?

Def frustrating but he's a reported players coach and I'm sure the team is frustrated with the firing and with them being bad. We need quick action with a new HC and working to mend this program ASAP

I definitely don't want to lose to Georgia State and BYU on back-to-back Saturdays again.

Felton also looks to be fired alongside Nieds and Pruitt.

Sorry if already stated, but was his name brought up in the investigation? Edit. NVM I see it now.

T-Bone ain’t around anymore. That gravy train is over.

He's gonna be walking onto the plane with Boyd and Plowman and at the last second tap them on the shoulder, point behind them, and then run away yelling "COWBOY FOR LIFE!"

Maybe if he could have stopped a slant pattern then it wouldn't have happened

 

[McGeesPub]

The date on the top says 2020 still.

Wait, was that godawful year just a dream? Excited for 2020, the best year yet!

 

[Bigworm87]

I mean we didnt hire a search firm to find multiple level 1 ncaa violations, but whatever.

Lmao!

Damnit. Can we do anything right.

 

[VolGee4]

We've seen the results of chancellors getting too involved. Forgive me for my scepticism. Nothing against Plowman. I'll reserve judgement to see how this plays out.

Oh I agree. But I think we’ve seen results of chancellors being “less involved” and then being forced to do something.

Players never “quit” because they enjoyed losing by 3 TDs every week. Bunch of masochists

 

[Ron Swanson]

Felton, Nieds and Pruitt all fired for cause per Hubbs

 

[UTProf]

Tell us how you really feel Brad

Shepard is a fan but an objective one who does very good work. He is absolutely a damned good reporter with a background in legit reporting. If he says this of Pruitt I believe him. I don’t remember him speaking this way about any other coach we’ve had.

Our booster game needs new blood.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I think Blackburn is black listed for some issues from his past they dont want to come out. I might be wrong

You are correct. Said some things publicly last time when they hired Curry. Played the political game and lost. Lost his job at UTC because of it.

 

[UTK]

They better not even think about it lmao

 

[Catbone]

O'Brien has done this before at Penn State. Would be a solid hire. Really, there's 4-5 guys who would be good hires.

Agrees. Saban, Dabo, Campbell, and Freeze.

 

[vol81]

Lets move forward Volnation. The past is the past. Let's hope that the FU big money boys, Plowman and Boyd are all now rowing in the same direction!
Its the only way we get out of this damned hole we've been in for 15 years..................

 

[rjd970]

Not worried about the NCAA stuff. They have no teeth. Maybe a bowl ban next year that we weren't going to anyway and a few scholarship reductions.

If the AD hire will be fast, I would think Ingram. That would be a win.

Exactly.
