Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Dudleys87]

I was so happy when Butch and Dooley were fired. I’m not going to be happy if Pruitt is. It’s weird.

Why? He’ll go running back to Bama and get more money. Or Texas if the job is still open and get money. He’s not exactly living penny to penny.

 

[MarcoVol]

And Pruitt being a players coach how many are running to play for him? Last I checked those guys who said we play for Pruitt or no one ran to the portal before he was even let go.

Lol so far one. Hendon Hooker. Just like Steele. Actually zero for Steele. BKB came bc of Shelton Felton.

What point are you trying to get across? Pruitt hasn’t been good. There is absolutely zero evidence kids would rather play for Kevin Steele. Both of these things can be true.

 

[Dudleys87]

Couldn’t agree more. Odd timing and circumstances all around. Not that I don’t think he should be gone.

What’s odd about the circumstances?

 

[05_never_again]

Yeah that’s true as well lmao. He will be okay.

I do have sympathy for the family sometimes, especially kids, because they didn't sign up for this. But as far as the coach himself, not really.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

@HoleInTheRoof an insider on VQ saying that Pruitt just got fired

Omg did they say anything about warring factions and a power struggle or how things are fluid?

He gone, boys. Announcement coming...

Be honest.... you’ve sent money to Nigerian princes before, haven’t you...

 

[RikidyBones]

Cool.. Pruitt is fired and we are toast with the ncaa and will have a tough time getting a coach that can quickly turn this thing around.

If he's not fired, we delay the inevitable and waste the 22 class. Neat.

I don’t think Big Kat is coming because Pruitt is here so there’s that.

For all we know ToTo coming back could be one or the other too. Imo.

Baylor was a trainwreck when Steele got there. Don’t think their lack of success was all on him. The admin has to be accountable also and committed to providing resources to build a winning football program. Football was an afterthought at Baylor back then.

Anyway, and no inside info here, Pruitt is coming back next year...hopefully a little wiser this time. Just connect the dots and you’ll see that UT is committed for at least another year. If it works then everyone changes their tune. Winning cures all

I lol way to hard at this

 

[KeyVol14]

Can’t wait for Tennessee stud and rikberry to lose there mind when this is announced.

 

[Batman1948]

I know they won most of the battles for recruits against us.

Cabin in the woods

 

[Jackcrevol]

If true, I am getting ready to hear CJP is canned and Steele Iterim HC for '21.

it's Freeze, Malzahn, or some such MgGoogle. I want to see money spent. UT is better than this.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

He gone, boys. Announcement coming...

are you sure? I really want it to be true but

 

[volfaninpa]

Tomorrow is today??

Wasn’t Baylor a dump then too? Facilities and what not

 

[LA Vol]

So, there's nothing there that incriminates Pruitt?

IDK what they have. That's privileged. But UT knows what's there and so does the NCAA. Pruitt responded to all of it, with counsel present. That was last week. And UT and Pruitt have continued going about their business while things wrap up.

 

[Batman1948]

I’m ready for the leaking to begin.

Find the closest tree and stand downwind

 

[Dudleys87]

Let’s just see who hits the portal

 

[99vawl]

Today is the day. Circle back to this post in about 2.5 hours. Bigger than you could imagine. Fire and retirement coming

It is weird. I’m afraid about the next decision.

He promised me things...

 

[ATC_VOL]

What’s odd about the circumstances?

That it’s towards the end of January and we have no idea what’s happening. I guess I checked out on him after UK so it seems like ages ago.

 

[orange parmejohn]

He gone, boys. Announcement coming...

Are you wishing or stating?

 

[RiotVol]

This is the first time I’ve had a “a new coach isn’t going to fix this” feeling.

 

[Dudleys87]

That’s because Tennessee admins drug their feet when good programs just cut people loose and move forward.
