Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

WV was a trash fire when he took over. I think they are 5-4 right now.

Took over an 8-4 squad that TRASHED us and went 5-7 his first season.

 

[Devo182]

We’re on the verge of losing this year’s class and next. And we can’t afford to lose next year’s class.

New coach is a win-win with the 1st year recruiting bump. Pruitt will have the complete and total opposite.

@nicksjuzunk you had any trouble getting a myprotein order? Ordered on 11/27 and it still hasn't even shipped.

An 8-4 squad that burned to the ground as the season wore on. Holgorsen trashed the program on his way out

This is it.

I’ve said it before: except for money, there’s never been a better time to swap out head coaches. You can basically get everyone back, you’ll have the one-time transfer rule, and get the benefit of the top notch in-state recruiting class for next season.

It’s time.

Edit: also, if you wait a year, the next guy will start out losing 2 classes of seniors.

You don’t need to have a replacement in line

You need to cut bait quick.

The biggest mistake an executive can make is not correcting the obvious mistake.
Hiring Pruitt was a mistake, keeping him around is an even bigger mistake

An executive can compound a mistake by not having a "what comes after" plan. It's quite possible to replace a turd with dung in that scenario.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

That's not a recommendation. Lol.

And we're going to be a lot closer to Will Healy than Hugh Freeze, I'll bet you that.

It relieves me that you don’t know Jack squat

 

[SLICKYINC]

TN football is in a unique position. Whatever Sankey announces IF football related won’t really impact us.

Yep - need someone who will refocus on the state. There are plenty of guys who can do what Butch did with the legacy class.

Pruitt can't anymore - and apparently never had any interest to in the first place.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

please

Saban has ruined the SEC and that's why I'm pushing for Freeze so bad. I know his overall SEC record is not the greatest but he's beat "The Evil Empire" twice. I want the VOLS to ruin bama's season one time before Nick retires.

I choose to believe Hugh Freeze is the one that can to do it at UT and we're running out of chances to beat a Saban lead bama team.

 

[KB5252]

Hope its not about basketball

I think it is

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

Hopefully just a TV deal or something

 

[Volsfaninva917]

I think it is

Unfortunately I do too

What if its, Saban retires and we have allowed Bama to hire Hugh Freeze?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Unfortunately I do too

UK sucks this year, so it probably is.

Or realignment

 

[Catbone]

Or realignment

That would be amazing

 

[volatil]

We need a commercial with Sarah McLachlan singing in background, showing sad Vol fans in slow motion. “For only 23 cents a day you can provide these poor bastards some hope of winning”

 

[VolGee4]

SEC can play its basketball in a mini bubble early next year. This is why some, even Rick Pitino, lobbied for conference only games starting in January or even moving the NCAAT back to May. So difficult to play these non conference games right now.

 

[KB5252]

Or realignment

That would be an off-season announcement.

I laughed way too hard at this.

Redefines the definition of trash.

 

[05_never_again]

Or realignment

Divisional realignment in favor of Tennessee - we'd still be a bottom dweller in this

Tennessee
Vanderbilt
Ole Miss
Arkansas
Miss St
South Carolina
Kentucky

Florida
Georgia
Alabama
Auburn
LSU
Texas A&M
Missouri

Sarah can be singing a sad version of Rocky Top and leave the WOOO out. Gut wrenching

Maybe, Smokey is chained up to the goal post that forida jacked up.

I'm crying already.... what's the number?
