Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[TrippieRedd]

And lebby

I prefer Applewhite, he is cheaper and they have worked together before.

 

[volatil]

Oh damn. Kids are committed to a university... not a coach.

Like it

I'm confused about this FU money... Is FU money short for **** you money? If so who are we FUing by bringing more money to the table? Just curious is all. I want the best hire but am concerned we may be limited with the sancations coming down the pipe.

It's the kind of money that allows you to do exactly what you want. People that have it tend to not settle.

 

[Ten_Titans]

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

If we are doing the VQ stock report for this entire saga...

Stock up: TB
Stock down: VQ
Stock stagnent: Everybody else.

"Say it with me. Jeremy. Pruitt. Hired. Kevin. Steele."- Austin Price.

Sorry bro. We're gonna have to make sure we don't ask you any questions that are above the staff any more.

 

[NMVol]

They called me. I put up treefiddy..

Freetiddy? Never mind...

 

[JT3]

Hopefully whoever we get hangs on to Hyatt, Calloway, Holiday, Wideman, and Beckwith. Haven’t been excited about a group like this in a long time.

VJ back too.

Beckwith would be perfect in a Kyle Pitts role.

We young but got talent at the WR group.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Kiffin back in Orange and having success would be 30 for 30 worthy.

“What if I told you...that in order to build it back up...first you had to tear it down?”

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Kiffin and Chadwell are a rung above Herman. Ole Tom has similar red flags in the ego department, always has to be the smartest person in the room. Texas is thrilled to be rid of his underachieving @ss.

Texas made a mistake

I'd be very happy with Charles Davis or Reggie McKenzie as AD.

 

[VolInDayton]

Pruitt cheated on recruiting which we weren't cool with, maybe we will be ok with in game cheating

Kentucky would be pissed if we hired Barnhart haha

 

[Weezer]

Doesn’t sound like there is direct proof to him cheating
just his assistants which is still bad but does allow some wiggle room for him to coach again I think

To coach again somewhere else, yes, but if the language of his contract actually does place responsibility on him for his staff committing violations, he doesn't have much to stand on in trying to get his buyout. The obvious ploy is to just make noise and hope they pay him something to just shut up and go away. Again, depending on the actual language of the contract, I think UT could win this if they choose to play it out.

 

[pierce60]

Yes!!!!

 

[BruinVol]

Wrong. His contract is specific on that. Sections 3.2.2. (b) View attachment 340551

I didn’t say anything about the contract and I understand how that works. The assistants are the responsibility of the HC

but none the less I haven’t seen anything directly connecting him to the infractions which means he won’t get a show cause I wouldn’t think

 

[Air_Force_Vol27]

I'm buying some TB stock right now. Never owned any for VQ. Never will.

We agree

 

[VOLED]

And lebby

Pardon my ignorance, but who is Lebby

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

FTR if we end up with Steele as coach next season this was all for not.

He was hired for a reason. I think they've known for a while Pruitt was getting fired. They bring Steele in to slap the "interim" tag on and now we have a HC option for if and when we get turned down 8 times like we always do.

 

[Weezer]

Sir please stop objectifying females. Boobs are for food not fun!

Boobs are like artwork. I could get lost in them for hours.

 

[Blake25p]

Gonna say new AD hired tomorrow or Wednesday then new HC named Friday or Saturday.

 

[RikidyBones]

Direct connection is irrelevant. Violations are under the termination for cause. There is no "wiggle room"

If you're talking about being hired elsewhere, him talking is suggests he's done. Currently, he would draw attention from the ncaa to that school. He's toxic currently.

 

[HankHill]

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.

Pruitt isn’t doing that lol. It’s a threat for trying to make UT pay. We will end up paying him a couple mil to shut up. He knows if he really did that he would never be hired again by anyone.

 

[sspineda]

New here?
