Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[CharlestonVol15]

Fulmer’s the boss and you best get used to it, boy. Get on the bus or get ran over.

You straight up suck, dude. Fulmer completely botched this mess and you know it.

Sweet user name too. Would be a lot cooler if it were "Tennessee Jed", but you don't deserve that handle.

Football has changed dramatically in those 20 years and even changed a lot in the few years since urban left Ohio state.

We are going to see tonight that on display

I meant Ohio state this season..... coastal attempted 4 less passes and 2 less runs per game..... Ohio state was more explosive but seeing as he was at coastal Carolina that is to be expected.

 

[butchna]

My mom has her surgery today.

Prayers out. We need a win.

 

[BruinVol]

One thing about Chadwell's offense. There were lots of folks saying Urban's offense would never work in the SEC. Just sayin'.

Im not impressed and saying that here this morning but the offense isn’t the real reason I don’t want him.

The real reason is he has zero big boy football experience and for me that’s disqualifying

 

[Ron Swanson]

Swain is on the Freeze train.

Swain thinks UT will hire Freeze or he just would prefer they did?

 

[aRmo]

I don’t look at it as saving money? I look at it as taking a chance on talented potential. I would prefer to go experience/high floor route but if we hired Chadwell i don’t think it’s cheap. One of the recently fired coaches or maybe even freeze would be the “cheap” route Bc they have no leverage.

Freeze may have won in the SEC but he done less with more toward the end of his downfall. Chadwell has done more with less. The guy has beat two top 25 teams this season. Chadwell is who I would go with imo. Yes it’s rolling the dice but our luck has to change eventually with hiring these non P5 coaches.

I don’t think that’s expected with the schedule he played. I’ve seen a lot of “mid major” football and it’s often times more offensive than the power 5

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

That is a terrible decision. Pruitt needs another year at that point. We're going through all this to hire mid major again.

We'll be right here in 4 years again.

You have no idea what could happen. What we do know is Pruitt is not a good head coach and is burying us. It’s time to move on and let someone else try to fix this program.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Wow. So many knee jerk reactions.
"He doesn't have the balls"--How do you know ?
"His Offense won't work" or "UGA will tackle us in the backfield"--Do your research. His Offense uses the same Zone and Gap blocking schemes you see every day in the SEC. He just dresses it up differently. What he does is easily adaptable.
"We need more Pro-Style"--You mean like Chaney? Inside Zone run Opposite a level Back with no motion?
"Couldn't hire a high level DC"---Pruitt is supposedly high level and half the time we can't even line up.
"He had a bunch of 2 and 3 stars"---It's Coastal Carolina DUH

I'm not all in on the guy but come on.

We can sit here and talk about every coaches negative. Nick Saban ugly as hell, see I can do it to. Point is, you have to pick the best option, and that’s freeze, at this point.

 

[drvenner]

But, he does have HC experience at least. It is a risk, no doubt.

none of us know. we're speaking in hyptheticals. it's called conjecture.

my point is that this is/will he the singular most important hire for Tennessee in 20 years when that time comes. they cannot afford to buy from the bargain bin.

 

[drvenner]

My mom has her surgery today.

Hoping and praying for the best possible outcome.

His offense would work. Spread option is a nightmare if he has the QB that can run it.

 

[drvenner]

Good lord. Is today the day?

Your handle suggests that it is.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I just always remember him giving up 70 points against WVU when he was at Clemson and Dabo firing him. Plus I remember him at Baylor.

Baylor has nothing to do with his ability to coordinate a defense, and Steele has put some really good defenses on the field at AU, and his work there is a huge reason Mehlzahn wasn't fired a long time ago, plus he seems to have adjusted to the newer offenses well since that West Virginia game.

Nobody questions Venables (rightfully) and his defense just got slaughtered too.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Rich Rod's would never work
I'm older than that so:
Never win in the SEC throwing the football.
No one will win a National Championship with the Wishbone.
Every innovation ever gets trashed because change scares people to death.

They can afford it. And will keep doing it as long as tickets are sold. Chadwells offense would sell tickets. It’s innovative and different.

 

[Jackcrevol]

You straight up suck, dude. You couldn't even troll at the Special Olympics. Fulmer completely botched this mess and you know it.

Talking **** to someone by making personal attacks, then moving on to the Special Olympics? You do you.

He's never been around a place like this before, UT has 24/7/365 coverage and that's more than a lot of NFL teams. The praise that comes with this job when things are good is near heaven but when things are bad you'd probably rather go to hell and face the devil. I don't think he could handle it, JMO

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Here we are at the 4th week being in limbo. Today may or may not be the day.

 

[CharlestonVol15]

My mom has her surgery today.

Wishing her well. Prayers up.

 

[BruinVol]

No doubt. I think it’s a good debate on what’s more better on a resume, a successor power 5 coordinator or head coaching experience at his level.

it’s hard to argue against the Head coaching experience with what’s going on right now but none the less I think it’s a good debate

 

[butchna]

So, is Wayne in the portal yet?

Reggie?

Maybe he can or can't, but saying he doesn't have the balls?
