Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Ron Swanson]

Yep 2 or 3 year ban.

Maybe 2 if you count the one we just backed out of. IMO

He's not wrong.

He could be

 

[KPT_VFL]

Now that Fulmer is gone, I feel much better about Kevin Steele as strictly a linebackers coach for the new head coach.

And he won’t have the direct tie to the athletic director that he once had, so hopefully the head coach won’t have to continuously look over his shoulder.

I just pray we don’t even consider Steele as more than an experience SEC veteran assistant.

Both us need to wait to see what the ncaa penalties and aftershocks are from
This before we say this is a good or bad day. Neither of us really know at this point

One thing i haven’t seen mentioned is how will Plowman be viewed from coaches. If this job is seen as one that you have to get into the cheating weeds to win she’s made it clear she won’t allow that. That may be bad news going forward


another thing I have seen very little mentioned about is how long before this is final?
If the sanctions aren’t official for a long period of time the 2022 class will be hurt hard with negative recruiting.

EH, I freaked out over Plowman but I don't think she's in the wrong. Operating in the gray area is where you need to be, if there are a ton of lvl 1 and 2 violations then Pruitt was way out of line and into the red. Also making enemies on campus of those who are there to help did him in. This had to be done to avoid the quasi death penalty aka bigger reductions and a longer bowl ban.

As far as how long until this is final, that's up to the AA, I guess it depends on if they are happy with what we do.

Herman would be a great hire at this point but he had issues with boosters at TX. How would that work out here?

 

[Kingzport]

Yep. Would be a massive upgrade to hire Herman. Really this is easy. I’d have this wrapped up by Saturday.

If you’re not going to hire Kiffin, then call Herman and Chadwell. Hire one of them. You’ve got the young upstart and the safe proven hire with room to grow.

If I were a betting man, Herman has already been contacted

Pruitt's attorney says firing result of 'orchestrated effort'

Posturing for future employment. JP won’t push back too hard IMO, his reputation would be damaged beyond repair if this goes to far in public.

 

[ob79]

I’m an attorney. May i question him?

If you are an attorney, shouldn't you already know that answer?

 

[VolInDayton]

He could be

Pruitt could still deserve to be fired with cause, but it was a orchestrated effort to get rid of him

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Beside secondary violations, what has Kiffin done to be in the same category as Freeze as far as hiring him?

Nothing really, most are just afraid he would bolt after one year again.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I just don't think Chadwell is the guy if we are going to judge our coaches on the ability to beat Mullen, Smart, and Saban (which no one can). Herman realistically can and so can Kiffin.

And we could have either one

 

[Ten_Titans]

You know, it hasn't occurred to me until now the irony of Pruitt bitching and moaning about Cade Mays' eligibility and how unfair the SEC/NCAA was being... All the while cheating his damn ass off lmao.

[Weezer]

Okay, I've spent my day in Nashville, at Vanderbilt, going from doctor to doctor for routine check-ups. So I've missed a lot. I know Pruitt is gone, and Fulmer is stepping down. Someone fill me in on what I need to know, please?

No one willing to help a brother out?

 

[UTK]

Not at all what I meant, but whatev.

Not saying you feel that way, just who cares if Plowman is roasted by the media. I certainly hope she doesn't care. That's all I'm saying. She seems like a smart woman, she knows what needs to be done. If the programs starts winning she will be seen as a hero around here for quite some time.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Folks, this is not the time to wallow in misery. This is the time to live in our hopes and dreams. The future is before us and all things are possible. Why let fear of tomorrow ruin the enjoyment of today?

Lolol..

12 mil is a lot of $ but it ain’t worth it

No coach will want to work for this toxic university

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Don’t know what the issues were. Maybe he has learned after being a coach there? Pair him with Steele and let’s win games and everyone will then get along

Put Herman in a room with Rev Barnes for 24 hours.

Our long nightmare is over. Still going to be stormy at times but good times our are in our future.

 

[VolGee4]

Where are all the Fulmerite’s who constantly make excuses for his incompetence? Not sure if you listened to TB today but he put just as much culpability on Fulmer as Pruitt. I guess you see why nobody wanted him as a HC after we terminated him the first time. He should have been fired today just like Pruitt. Where is the accountability?

He was fired today...just very nicely because he has our only modern era title.

That is a silver lining in all of this. Fulmer had to go....

I just want to be good at football again. This crap show doesn’t feel like we’re getting back there anytime soon.
