Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

It would probably have to be HC to get him in the door, but I would love if we made him one of the highest paid DCs.

He has less than two years coaching linebackers and that is the extent of his resume. Bad idea!

Hubbs over on VQ earlier said Pruitt left on his own today.

Russ Smith from fan run said they had security over there and the other 9/10 were escorted out.
He also said TN admin didn't like the message that Pruitt recorded for the team.

Should have never allowed the recording

Bro idgaf if he blows them just come in here and win

Lawyers are supposed to zealously advocate for their clients. Expect the rosiest picture that can possibly be given without outright lying.

Note that Pruitt's lawyers are trying to create a narrative that is **supposed** to sound bad for the university. It's not supposed to be a fair two sided conversation. And, the letter is intended to nothing more than to make people like you, sports fans, or other casual observers, to begin to change their opinion on events in their clients favor.

Everytime you read any sort of press release, know that, especially when it's from an attorney. Your opinion is the currency that is being negotiated.

I don't think they have the goods to create a narrative that Gump has been wronged. Possible though.

Pruitt "airing it out" would be contrary to his case. The only thing he can argue is there aren't level 1 or 2 violations. If he aired it out, he'd lose and then get stuck with the lawyer fees.

You guys aren’t looking at this correctly.
He can cause great damage outside of football. We better hope he doesn’t know one thing about any kind of basketball “issue”

Russ said he wasn't sure if they didn't show it or edited what they didn't like out.

Kansas tried to get out of the buyout by using one very minor level 2 violation.

Tennessee waited a month after the season ended and then found at least a dozen level 1's.

I think it's safe to say Pruitt does not have nearly the same case as the Kansas coach.

 

[Big Orange#1]

Herman, Steele and Rodney Garner

 

[Vol4ever]

I guess the question with big money showing is who is realistic that it would take big money to get?

Ive been told haslam, peyton and others raised 30 million. Anybody else here this @ATLVOL?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I’d imagine he played the victim in the video message.

Probably he didn't go into specifics of what was said.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Herman, Steele and Rodney Garner

Championships

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Interview him for HC. I doubt he’s going to listen to anything less.

Again, I’m not saying hire him, but listen to him at least.

See post # 88,021.

So does the firing of Shelton mean no Big Kat?

 

[Ron Swanson]

No offense, Ron, but this post feels like that scene from Animal House.

Dysfunction is what we do.

They’ve been planning this out for months. Plowman and Boyd aren’t handing the keys to Kevin Steele. He’s assisting in the bigger plan. And we’re lucky to have him assist.

No it doesn’t

 

[give_him 6]

After all of the firings today and we have expiring contracts at the end of next week (I believe), how many coaches will actually be on staff after next week?

Try @Atlanta VOL he seems to know more details

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Siap

I don’t think Pruitt wants to go down this road...

I don’t think he would. Barnes is much smarter than Pruitt.

I wondered this

Him trying to burn the place down on his own dime in very costly fashion would be one of the dumbest moves of all time but we are talking about the man who kept starting JG.

Thats what i meant. THANKS

 

[ikevol]

I sure hope it never gets out. Will be awful for the family and a real shocker to the TN community.

Peyton????

 

[Vols4us]

If there is one thing I’ve learned from Hubbs and AP they only drop info when they have it. Secondly, maybe Meyer said thanks but no thanks as you have my friend as current coach

I don't get why somebody would accuse AP of lying. If they can prove he lied at some other point maybe.

Better yet, why not Herman? He brings the O and has been a HC for years with a great record in bowls. He's probably matured a bit from the Texas experience and would bring all he had to prove they were idiots to fire him. He never had access to a Kevin Steele as a DC at Texas. It would be a quick route to relevance again.
