Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Anything new?

They supposedly found another Super Earth, but has a temperature of 3000 degrees from its closeness to a star, which in my mind makes it uninhabitable so therefore not earthlike.

 

[preacherwebb]

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.

I agree with your assessment with one caveat ... how well can we recruit the '22 in state class with an interim? That's my biggest concern with this scenario.

 

[volinbama256]

So if it's possible to get Hardy, Big Kat, and Gilbert amiss this chaos, DEWIT!.... we gonna need all the help we can get.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

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.

Marrone probably fits the bill.

That's where Marrone/Chadwell comes in... If we get rid of Pruitt, no way we just hang in the wind with an interim for any longer than we absolutely have to....

If Tracey Rocker has left South Carolina goes to Auburn, you've got to think that means Garner to UT is very likely, right?

No matter what, a D-Line coach still needs to be hired.

 

[SLICKYINC]

I absolutely HATED bitch jones.

I don’t hate Pruitt, yet, although the fan comment pissed me off.

Therefore I’m not out on UT.

so Marrone

 

[Vols4us]

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.

Which is the problem around the program. Spin. You don't need to spin if you do things right. They spin because they have been a bunch of losers for about 15 years. Pretenders and wannabes take turns ruling over the mess. I still hope Boyd and Plowman do this right, but at this stage the hope is dwindling daily.

I think Marrone will be fine with it... less work for him...

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

I think I’m going to take my talents and money to Statesboro for a while. UT is a train wreck.

 

[Rishvol]

RB

Too slow

 

[volfaninpa]

If Pruitt is canned, Steele runs the defense, Garner comes in, and an Offensive Coordinator is hired whose offense is from at least 2015, then I'll support a Marrone hire and buy the narrative that the Jags were horribly run and he raised a morbid bound Syracuse program.

But, if he starts to lose, I'll turn quickly. I'll declare that he ran the Jags into the ground, cannot develop QBs, is merely a Fulmerite, and is another bargain bin hire.

At least, I have a plan in place. We'll see if the UT AD does.

 

[Jack Burton]

We’ll nuke the star with dry ice to cool it down. After that we should be good.

It’s to keep players from bolting when Pruitt is fired. Steele is a great coach and recruiter. They will use the VFLs to calm the players and Steele greatly helps deflections.

 

[Catbone]

So that's it then. Steele is lined up to be the next HC when Pruitt is fired in November. Wow.

 

[SLICKYINC]

what fan comment are you referring to?

I don’t remember the exact wording so I’ll just wait on someone else to take the heat for Mis-quoting it.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

That makes him a visionary around here.

But can he defend the slant is the big question[/QUOTE]
#2.."Defend the middle of the field"? Uhhhm..

 

[Power T-Rev]

Henry did not regress.

He didn't really improve either

 

[MrVolton]

Hey you guys, read these words:

I appreciate the info. Makes a lot of sense. Is the source reliable?

 

[Lane Train 4]

Rodney Garner to Tennessee for sure!
Auburn just stole Tracy Rocker from USCjr

 

[Power T-Rev]

what fan comment are you referring to?

I think the one when he called out the fans for the low attendance at the spring game

 

[CoachClick]

I don’t remember the exact wording so I’ll just wait on someone else to take the heat for Mis-quoting it.

Pruitt was asked what he would tell the fans, and he said, "that's not my job. My job is to coach football."

...I believe that's what you are referring to.

More nepotism is the answer. I'm sure that will work out great. Firing an all Tennessee staff and AD because they weren't qualified in the first place will be great for the program.
