Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[LA Vol]

Lanier.

Going back to the well. UT has been very conservative in hiring to protect the stability and culture they've built. They work a shortlist, hire those who can grow with the program, promote from within whenever they can and bring good people back when they can't. Pope was actually doing the job before they felt comfortable announcing him.

That’s encouraging to hear.

 

[Rishvol]

Forbes and English would be on the lis…..but I hope Barnes stays.

I would take Forbes

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Does that come with a Gator win and a division title? Or are we stairstepping our milestones?

I’ll take a Gator win first. Definitely stair step…

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Lanier.

I like him, but what has he done to show he deserves this big of a role yet?

 

[Chuckie]

I will say, there were a few times late yesterday where Barnes was just frustrated. I know once he was trying to call TO and im not sure if they couldnt hear or just werent looking but it took a good 10 seconds or so for them to realize. Also a few times where he was telling them to press (I think) and they either werent looking or didnt hear and didnt do whatever he was trying to call.

That was the possession where ZZ made a nice shot from the FT line but the shot clock had expired. Get that time out 1 second earlier and we score there.

 

[lilesrt]

Who does Auburn get beat by today?

 

[SSVol]

No one thing cost us this game.

No, but if we shot the 3 at our season average we'd have hit 6 instead of 2...12 more points, while we lost by 8. I'd say among the reasons, that one is near the top.

 

[Nuctech777]

They made every single and 1 opportunity and we missed all of ours (except for the crazy Fulky tip in). Their shots were falling and ours weren’t. That’s the madness of march.

 

[jave36]

Probably so, but not sure how one tournament is that much different than the other. Win or go home, either way.

One involves teams you've played once or twice already that year, one does not.

 

[volbeast33]

I don’t see Barnes retiring and hope he stays….. he has been great for the Universitu of Tennessee.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Back to back Homer's to give the vols a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the 3rd.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Forbes just resigned a deal, I believe. With his past I doubt he would ever come here.

 

[LoudOrange]

I know he loved it here, but it ended badly. Might have a Tennessee clause in his deal.

 

[DeusExMachina]

Those are the stupidest shows ever made.

I just wanna point out real quick how there's been absolutely no freak out because of this, unlike the screeching harpies that make up the Seinfeld fanbase. Hell, I haven't even posted a GIF in response.


Enough about that though, spring practice starts tomorrow IIRC.

That's a stupid take.

The pot calling the kettle black i see. Not everyone who doesnt have a sunshine pumpers opinion is a troll either.

Have I called you a troll? I have defended your fandom a few times. I think you over react and deliver your message in a confrontational way. I don't agree with you here at all but I don't think I've ever accused you of not being a fan.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Dang! You fixed it before I could quote it.

 

[tnvols72]

So because I can’t think of someone to hire, that means Barnes is immune from criticism? Players absolutely deserve blame. But so does Barnes. He got out coached yet again. I mean how many more early exits should we be ok with? Serious question.

When you say he cant get it done and when do you start questioning him, that is pretty much saying he needs to go. How did he get out coached? What did he do to make his team shoot 11% from 3? or what did he do to make their big have a career night? I have been pissed at Barnes and I have also been pissed at the players for poor play.

 

[MrVolton]

10 wins, with one of them being against the Gators, and it would be almost be like winning some kind of championship for me.

Me since about 8pm last night.
