Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[UpstateVol613]

Warroom is tonight.

Not sure if you can ask questions but you have to get some clarity on our next coach. What is the plan in place?

 

[SweetasSoda]

Who wants to bet we take all that time to find coaches and strike out looking?

And have it reported on for months instead of weeks the way Auburn was.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Yea. Mizzu and Kentucky both replacing coordinators as well. I really see 7-5 and maybe even 8-4

y’all are some grade A homers. Pitt and Vandy are probably pick’ems at best. 5-7 is realistic ceiling

There ya go, i corrected it for ya

That’s bull doo doo. It’s almost like some of you people want that to happen. Pruitt comes back along with an improved staff and better quarterback play, I can definitely see 7 or 8 wins.

 

[SweetasSoda]

I agree with everything he said except the interim for a year part, that is stupid. When Kiffin left in the middle of the night, that was interim for a year time. This is not.

And yet I am afraid that is what they are planning.

 

[BruinVol]

UK has a much better culture in place. Stoops is a hell of a coach we aren't beating them. Mizzou is interesting but they are solid and found their QB last year.
Kiffin will hang 70 for fun.

Mizzu certainly didn’t keep that momentum going when they “found their QB”.
Kentucky’s is Kentucky


I’d bet a lot of $ we at least one vs Kentucky, ole miss and Mizzu if we don’t lose our roster

 

[OrangeGoggles]

I haven't visited each page but if the worst case scenario is Steele interim for a year (typing that out made it sound even crazier than I originally thought), is interim Steele for a year worse than Pruitt returning? What would we rather have? Obviously neither are ideal and we'd rather lure a top flight, proven winner.

If I had the choice (only between those two), I think I'd rather give Steele a shot over Pruitt returning. From the outside, it appears the relationship between Pruitt and the University could be hard to repair and it could be a complete/total train wreck next year. Either approach may not bode well for the 22 recruiting class, unfortunately.

I hope they've been vetting possible coaches for the last 2-3 months, they've had plenty of time to gauge interest. Go Vols!

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

That’s it. I’m tired of all the bull.

Cage match. Pruitt Butch Dooley Chaney Fulmer. Winner gets a dozen Krispy Kreme. Who ya got?

No

Oh my. There goes your credibility around here

 

[SLICKYINC]

Saw something posted earlier (not here) mentioning Tee to UCF possibly. Now I can’t find it again. Haven’t seen it again anywhere else so prolly nothing...

 

[MrVolton]

My other biggest question is can he fit in the TN brand. And recruit the South. If I remember correctly hes a Midwest guy.

Only culture that should factor in is winning culture.

 

[Tennessee Stud]

and Tennessee isn’t in position to beat either one.

Yes, they are. Tennessee has better talent than both of those limp dick programs. Come on.

 

["It's Time"]

7-5 or 8-4?

I’m making a sweeping declaration that if a first year guy pulled that off it’d be one of the top 3 greatest coaching at UT in the last 3 decades. This roster has some guys, but have not been developed.

That job would be the equivalent of Kiffin taking that 09 roster and going 7-5.

 

[BruinVol]

No

Mizzu gave up 148pts In their last 3 ball games.
went 0-2 to finish losing 100-46

 

[KeyVol14]

This university needs a TN guy and there’s only two coaches out there that fit that criteria. Freeze and chadwell are no brainers.

 

[Dudleys87]

Yes, they are. Tennessee has better talent than both of those limp dick programs. Come on.

Kentucky just kicked Tennessee ass in Neyland
Missouri was turning the corner to end the season

What’d the vols do? 3-7.

So who’s on the upswing and who’s on life support?

Ladies and gentlemen Tennessee Stud is D4H new account

 

[Tennessee Stud]

Did anyone else know the Lady Vols intentionally stay in the locker room during the National Anthem?

Absurd

 

[Nash_Vol97]

That’s bull doo doo. It’s almost like some of you people want that to happen. Pruitt comes back along with an improved staff and better quarterback play, I can definitely see 7 or 8 wins.

Things ChiefVol says for $1000 please, Alex.

UCF lost their WR coach possibly to Auburn

Report: UCF WR coach Darrell Wyatt 'abruptly' leaves program, could land at Auburn

Lol. I wonder if people even realize sometimes what they are saying

Kevin steele is a VFL btw

[Leeleesteeth]

Per the Google and the Twitter machine, I can find no reported named Brett Baird.

I don't know. It was texted to me. Figured someone on here is more tuned into reporters than I am.
