Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[BigOrangeGoose]

I feel so bad for Fulmer right now... this is hard to watch

This. Every question is a "When did you stop beating your wife?" question at a press conference like this.

Case in point, Ubban's question.

"So how bout that Jeremy Pruitt legacy, huh?"

 

[BearCat204]

I don’t know how people can be excited about this.

This entire process has been disastrous, and I’m not sure we have more mulligans to use on this dysfunctional BS.

I dont think anyone is "excited" about the infactions and its sad that it took him being caught cheating to be fired and not because of his absolute trainwreck of a job leading this program.

 

[rikberry31]

you ok buddy?

I'm fine, I just hope we don't get whack. It must have been some bad stuff from listen to the presser.

 

[JT3]

He said the next coach needed to be here 10 years.

Thanks. Hope that means we stop hiring projects and get a proven winner.

Based on Phil's relationship comment, I believe if the new AD is Ingram, then the new HC will be Bill Clark. And if he keeps Steele as DC, would be all solid hirings. Maybe not a WOW hire, but solid nonetheless.

NCAA is gonna bend us over. Just watch.

You shouldn't feel bad. This is his guy and he perpetuated this and fought behind the scenes about all of this. He's not AD material

 

[pierce60]

Taking questions is a “damned if you and damned if you don’t proposition....”

You take them you get criticized for being unprepared and vague.

You don’t take them and you get criticized for trying to hide something and ducking the tough stuff.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

It is very clear Fulmer has been fired. He does not want to be there

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

Let’s just be honest, there’s nothing that Plowman could have done today that would’ve impressed you.

You’re pissed about how everything has gone down and you’re jaded as hell.

She’s going to turn this place into a Christian school by the sound of it.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

If we manged to come out of this cluster **** with Bill Clark as our HC, I would consider that the luckiest we could have possibly been. With that said, I dont think Bill Clark will leave UAB now.

Bill Clark can flat out coach football.

But no one will be excited about the hire.

Fulmer didn’t look comfortable taking questions

What exactly did you expect?

 

[IN Jed]

Pretty legit questions...surprised they opened up for that. The timeline doesn't completely add up which is good and suggest the wheels have been in motion. There is hope.

 

[pierce60]

That’s what nearly all coaches? Smh.

It wasn’t just on-field staff. Mostly recruiting staffers and player personnel directors.

 

[JCP201]

We in deep poo-- I don't think Freeze will be coming. That said, Pruitt learned how to run a program from his mentors, I am sure. (Saban, Jimbo Fisher) Glad Fulmer isn't being thrown under a bus.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

"His termination was for cause, which means no buyout"

oh damn, she ain't playing!

 

[Catbone]

Plowman means business. Dear God

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Plowman doesn't sound like she takes a lot of sh!t from anyone

 

[drvenner]

I am all in!!

#HireHerman


(Not Herman Munster, TIA.)

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

I’m waiting for Fulmer to say **** it and burn this bitch down with the next question he takes haha

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I see that as well. Phil looks like he's there because he has to be.

 

[FranklinVFL]

Exactly my thought listening to him answer the question about “input hiring your replacement”.

Fulmer was fired, he is just being allowed to walk away with his dignity.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Phil is struggling
