Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[VolMike16]

They got rid of the HC and AD they wanted gone, an assistant whose contract was expiring, a low-level assistant they could paper and a bunch of support staffers that were collateral damage. They were selective. There's a lot more that can come out. I'm glad Pruitt is gone, but some people better watch their back.

Wasn’t Gilbert leading the search for Hart when we hired ole turtle head Donnie Tyndall?

Which means he has no qualms hiring someone with past NCAA issues..... bring him on and go get freeze!

 

[UTK]

PSA: don’t buy coach-specific UT gear.

Learned that with a "bUTch" shirt lol

Same shirt for me.

 

[LA Vol]

Who cares about public perception. Just win

Not at all what I meant, but whatev.

 

[VOLED]

My guy

This is the type of guy that you can win championships with.

 

[Smokeytom]

The sky is not falling. Some people need to relax. If Penn State can make one hire and be out of their situation then there’s no reason we can’t do the same. C’mon now. Turn off the doomsday drama queen talking heads.

 

[IN Jed]

Why would we go with a basketball guy (Gilbert) over a football guy (Ingram) for AD?

 

[NMVol]

I'm 1,400 miles from Knoxville up in the Southern Rockies. The only read I had on the situation was from information I saw on here.
Because of how things have gone on I assumed that there would be a retention. Never got the sense that the NCAA compliance firm in Overland Park had been hired. I can only assume the report Friday found facts that clearly pointed to lack of institutional control the onus of which contractually clearly fell on Pruitt. I guess the buck has to stop somewhere. That said his fate could not have been known with certainty until Friday. Given that the administration acted quickly. At least this outside review gives the University a strong justification for the actions that have been taken.

A few questions remain. There has to be more to the Steele hire, or maybe not. Just a lucky circumstance? Was RayUGA served a cease and desist letter? Got to expect that if so much trouble was gone to bring in the compliance firm that the AD hire if done with diligence and transparency will take some time. Same with HC, especially if Pruitt is going to bring an action to claim a buy out.

Anyway my 2 cents. I was wrong about retention. Just want to see the Vols have some success.

[BruinVol]

Chris low said that Steele would get a real look at being the head coach.

thx

What did he say about penalties?

That’s the part i most want to hear

 

[Jimmy Football]

Nah

Nah

Agreed.

 

[HankHill]

Mayo has a nice future but to be blunt he’s only getting interviews due to the Rooney rule.
he’s a coordinators job away from getting a HC job. I hope he gets one this cycle

 

[BruinVol]

NCAA punishment will be severe.

Any specifics?

 

[MarcoVol]

SIAP but earlier I saw someone mentioning Gase

Report: Seahawks add 2 to OC search, including ex-Jets HC Adam Gase

 

[mr.checkerboards]

thx

What did he say about penalties?

That’s the part i most want to hear

On Finebaum's show earlier he said maybe a postseason bowl ban for a year or 2 and a slight scholarship reduction.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

That’s less than I thought. But it’s a real “fool me once” situation.

Him being willing to leave Ole Miss after one season is just further proof he hasn't changed and can’t be trusted.

I tend to agree

 

[Jimmy Football]

Any specifics?

Just said post-season ban, at least.
