Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

What's going on at South Carolina? I thought we were the number 1 sh$%show.

Seems Beamer may have rockered the jukebox.

 

[Jack Burton]

I made it to third hand and had enough.

Cliffs: We bout to get hammered by the NCAA and continue to suck forever.

 

[Smokeytom]

This is insane. How do we not have a definitive answer by now

This is the staff that has turned Trey Smith into a 2nd round draft pick.

They did some good work with Butch guys like Nigel Warrior, Darrell Taylor, Daniel Bituli and Josh Palmer though.

All of Pruitt's recruits were more impactful in their first seasons then have regressed.

The only two Pruitt recruits who have moderately progressed have been: Eric Gray, Henry T., Q. Crouch.

The lack of defensive progression has been the single most disappointing thing to me about the Pruitt tenure.

Henry T regressed. Crouch is at this time a lower echelon SEC lb. Gray has only succeeded because of natural talent. Still doesn’t break or elude tackles like he should. Trey Smith is likely a third/ fourth round pick. He regressed in 2020.

I’ve said it a few times why would they allow someone they’re trying to fire interview coaches but they are Tennessee so it should shock anyone they did it.

Because they are not trying to fire him. Just wishful thinking

 

[Orange Studs]

I believe so. This is from the Toppmeyer article:

This is awesome. Makes me believe even more Pruitt is gone.

 

[KeyVol14]

Anything new?

 

[Ace]

We do have a definitive answer - Pruitt is HC. It is bad PR, but they do not have to publicly announce that he is coming back

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

What is crouch actually GOOD at.... honestly

TMI. This is a PG 13 Website

If Steele really does become interim my wife will wonder why I'm not watching football next season and probably take me to the doctor

Same if Pruitt is the HC. I'm out.

In reality my wife is worse about it than me. I've got golf until it gets cold and then basketball kicks in. Would rather it be football, but whatever. If they don't care, why should I?

It is bad at SC. Beamer was safety net and basically only coach who would take the job. We are not far behind them.

 

[KB5252]

No my argument is find an already proven coach and pay them. I don't know how hard it is to comprehend. I don't want Chadwell, I don't want Napier, I want a good coach that has a proven track record as HC.

Fair enough, who do you think would leave and come to this mess?

Hey you guys, read these words:

From everything I can gather, this is very accurate.

 

[drvenner]

Hey you guys, read these words:

Thanks for bringing this over here. How much of a grade of slaw should we give it. It actually reads quite reasonably.

 

[theutvolunteers]

A lot of y’all toxic.

 

[Dudleys87]

From everything I can gather, this is very accurate.

Level 1s and 2s why not go for the hat trick?

 

[Vols4us]

If Pruitt or Steele are the HC next season, they will win IMO.

 

[drvenner]

If he is interim, Is that really any worse than Pruitt staying, because he is essentially an interim, in that scenario. If Steele somehow kills it, he gets the job long term (extremely unlikely). If he flames out, he is gone in a year. JMO.

In regards to the detailed possible violations, I have no idea. But in regards to the description of the process, I think this is accurate.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Henry did not regress.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Nott to beat a dead horse, but let’s go back to JG. Do we know for certainty it was Pruitt who kept trotting him out there or was he doing what Chaney wanted him to do?
Could change our whole perception of Pruitt and his perceived micromanaging?
Sorry if I missed that somewhere, but just curious.

Pruitts call. Although I’m sure if Chaney is fired VQ will try to spin it to the fans that Chaney was a big reason for JG and the offense.

Well then GA better be next on the NCAA's docket, especially if they were interviewed about us--- Mims/Washington....

Everything should be high grade of slaw these days but it’s interesting nonetheless.

 

[Kingston Vol]

I don't think Steele is being considered as an interim coach for the 2021 season. Naming him as interim now (if Pruitt is fired) would be short term until the next hire is in place. I would expect Steele to get an interview for the head coaching job, but I think that's a tough sell.

Bringing Steele in, with Tee and Jay on staff and Fulmer in the AD chair, is an attempt to rebuild the "Tennessee way," for lack of a better term. A new head coach will have to be on board with and fit into it.

yep
