Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

And the other?

Arnett...

 

[beneVOLence]

I would steele be happy with CKS. He is a very good DC.

I don't think it will be Arnett with that statement.

Lord, when I first saw CKS, I thought Kirby Smart. Kill me now. LOL

 

[SoonerVol]

Agree that it is not a good look........but I suspect his (handlers) biggest beef against UT is that he will no longer be getting paid.

 

[Wickman]

Especially when Pruitt wasn't going to take him either

Yeah he was about to get dropped either way.

 

[TheRain]

Sorry, but not a big deal.

Coaching changes change everything.

JP is the one who strung him along.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Do not like. Think this is a mistake by JH and could potentially hurt future recruiting in that area. It's one player. You make the room, hope he works out, and keep the good will.

New coaches new scheme. He was just hired and he needs to sign who fits what he wants. Coaches understand the game but they will stick up for their players. New coach cannot guarantee any spot to anyone when they are looking to fill the roster with their own needs.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Alright, someone teach me about Chris Ash. Let me hear it @HankHill

 

[InVOLuntary]

I thought there was a path for Joe to stick with the new staff. Kinda sad to see him go

I think there was. I don't think he liked the path.

 

[ALStateLineVol]

Of course, you can say "boys and girls". Please do. The day that kind of politically correct non-sense reaches this board will be the day it dies. So yes, please use these terms if it offends anyone, they can kick rocks.

I meant it as a joke but my wife constantly tells me my jokes aren't funny. I guess I'm showing my age.
Go Vols!!

 

[NMVol]

We don't need no "handlers" playing the heavy with our new coach.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Alright, someone teach me about Chris Ash. Let me hear it @HankHill

4-2-5 guy. Put a lot of DBs in the league at Ohio State. Again, simpler scheme where his players line up right and play fast.

 

[volswillrise12]

Osovet was my favorite coach on the last staff. Sad indeed to see him go.

Yeah, no one should get attached to assistant coaches...we’ve gone through 5,000 in 12 years. Osovet was on a staff that was 3-7.

 

[Weezer]

What an idiot

Always has been, but unfortunately he's not wrong that the coach probably doesn't let UT back in there, at least not for a long time. High school coaches are vindictive. We learned that with some of our past coaches. JH made a big mistake with how he handled this one. I get people are trying to be positive about this hire, but in this situation, reality is that JH handled it poorly if he just pulled that offer today. If he had pulled it last week, we could spin the new staff angle, but the day before NSD? It's a very bad look for a staff that can't afford bad looks atm. Our program is in a bad spot, and this staff needs to avoid making these kind of stupid, silly mistakes if they hope to rebuild us to respectability. That's reality, Bass. We can huff up and pretend it's no big deal, but we can't afford to be burning any recruiting bridges right now.

Go watch tape of his defenses at Ohio state. Their secondary and pass defense was pathetic prior to him showing up. He was also damn good at Wisconsin. I don’t give 2 sh*ts about what he did at Rutgers as Hc.

 

[csprig9]

**** devinner also
Why isn’t he bitching about bama not taking him
He’s nothing but a fat lazy piece of **** that uses kids for his possible monetary benefit

Put the walls up higher
And screw these assholes and **** the inbred state of Alabama

 

[VFLBerg]

Alright, someone teach me about Chris Ash. Let me hear it @HankHill

This says he's going to Jacksonville. Has that changed?

Report: Former Texas DC Chris Ash joins Jaguars staff as secondary coach

 

[ALStateLineVol]

What part of the state you from buddy? Im from South Pittsburg, on the state line.

Fayetteville

It’s not something that a phone call wouldn’t fix. If he’s really that upset he’ll get over it.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Roc Taylor getting those 15 mins...likely a name no one hears again. Best of luck to the kid, but if this is how you handle things then you're not thick skinned enough.

Pruitt & co. pulled that offer, Josh Heupel catching the blame cause he ain't paying handlers any cash to "understand, it's a business" all this BS is about.

I didn't say it was good. I also don't think it's the end of the world as you're saying. Nobody will be talking about this in 2 weeks. Besides, if Roc is any good, he'll have another opportunity to go somewhere else. It may hurt him in that one school in bama for a temporary time, but that's probably it.

Oh, bs. This isn’t JH’s fault. This kid wasn’t going to be a Vol anyway, otherwise Pruitt would have let him sign already.

All this is, is a publicity stunt to blame JH and UT, make us look bad, because their under the table stacks of cash are gone.

One of the few former Head coaches who has a worse record than Kevin Steele.

 

[HankHill]

What an idiot

That screams character issues and him being a tweener. Previous staff slow played him. At least JH was real with him and let him go. Not his fault he took over this close to signing day.

 

[Batman1948]

I think my 2-1-8 flex inverter concepts might work up on the Hill. I've just come up with them in the last 5 minutes.

In this scenario, the guys playing the 2 position would have to weigh at least 400 lbs to clog up the middle

 

[MoCo_Vol]

He's a 4.86 kid in a RBs body...I don't know why the hell we were recruiting him anyway if I'm honest, even under Pruitt's regime he wouldn't see the field as a LB.
