Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[OGbabyaviVol]

Hope for UT's sake, they have been reaching out to a Herman or Malzhan and sign a deal quickly. We do not want to drag this on and get publicly embarrassed.

It’s Tennessee. You know that’s what we do with coaching searches.

What did he say? I can’t keep up anymore. Have to skip 60 pages every day

Here is what Lowe said:

looking at it from where we are right now, talking to some people, I think its going to be difficult... you never say never... it will be difficult for him to be the Head Football coach."

 

[admiralkerr]

Yea sure it’s inappropriate

The “maybe” was referring to the question of should a demeaning inappropriate tweet directed at a controversial political figure be a fireable offense. If it is there would a lot of people without jobs these days.

Deservedly so - especially those in charge of teaching young minds.

 

[BAJAvol]

I’ve got a dude who may be of service. Email me

Will do!

I’m assuming Pruitt wanted to hire someone and was told no. That’s why the official “hiring freeze” came out today.

 

[BeecherVol]

Soooo what if it comes out that Fulmer was the only one blocking Freeze from being hired then what what’s your outlook on fulmer then.

When has he blocked Freeze being hired?

 

[LA Vol]

And he said very recently that the investigation hasn't found anything and that Pruitt coming back was inevitable.




Again, I am not questioning whether or not he is connected. I believe he is. However, he bounces around with whatever is in the air, using his connections to fill in gaps of information.

I have always said that keeping Pruitt was the default decision. And that multiple things could change that... and had not. Investigations take on a life of their own. Things change day-to-day in an active investigation.

I try to avoid grand pronouncements like: Pruitt will be fired if he loses to Vandy, he'll be fired after aTm, he has to win these last two games, no way he comes back from this, they can't keep him now, etc., etc.

But I can stop "using connections to fill in gaps of information." Who knew it was so offensive?

 

[eVOLve]

****in need to do something quick or there ain’t gonna be anybody coaching the football team next year

 

[Dudleys87]

Why isn’t Herman on the list?

If the reports are true you’d be essentially hiring a Pruitt. Doesn’t get along witn the fat cats and teats people poorly.

As much as id want the man here: 7-3 at Texas and a no nonsense winner I can’t help but feel they’d sabotage him early on like another poster stated.

 

[McGeesPub]

I’m just looking forward to 2030 when the hype of the pursuit of Jerod Mayo makes Gruden/Freeze look like hiring a position coach.

 

[BruinVol]

Deservedly so - especially those in charge of teaching young minds.

goes both ways though so be very careful. We wouldn’t have enough college professors left if they are were fired that posted demeaning inappropriate post directed at controversial politicians on social media

 

[RiotVol]

Basilio had former Mike Detilier on yesterday and ran through the possible coaching candidates to replace Pruitt. Cliffs' notes here:

The Tony Basilio Show

Have a hard time disagreeing with that assessment.

 

[mhigg22]

Freeze
Napier
Fickell

If we fire Pruitt and hire one of these guys the same day it will be a great day in Vols history.

Yes I like this list of 3 to pursue!

 

[seaofORANGE22]

I kinda wish Joe Brady has taken a head coaching job at a smaller program. If he had any head coaching experience he might be number 1 on my list.

I still might talk to him.

Malzahn would be a perfect fit especially if it drags on

[UTSuave’]

When has he blocked Freeze being hired?

“If” he was..

 

[BeecherVol]

“If”

IF implies he had a chance to refuse.

When was that opportunity present?

No, I think the report that he was talking to Jim Turner is why that came out today. I think Plowman is ready to blow this thing out of the water

Who would sabotage him and why?

 

[Dudleys87]

Some say Fulmer had his shot and he will not make another hire.

does that mean they’ll hire a top tier guy or does it mean Tennessee goes back to their old ways...

Lol, no it doesn’t. It’s a one way street.

That makes to much sense.
Don’t give Tennessee credit for getting ahead of something for once lol

To think we would go through all of this crap to hire Gus Malzahn blows my mind.
