Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Dudley Smith]

Like someone said earlier, LSU has hard evidence against both football and basketball with no true ramifications. If we initiated our own investigation and turned ourselves in, holy hell that’s a stupid move when you’ve seen what programs can get away with.

Please just spend 5 minutes on Google. Both LSU and UF football programs involved the NCAA with their investigations.

LSU self-imposes bowl ban for NCAA violations in college football

NCAA places Florida football on probation, coach Dan Mullen given show-cause over recruiting violations

mixed emotions here. Little bit unsure why @Atlanta VOL is so happy. Yes it's good to get Pruitt and Phil out, but this is at VERY high cost. Unless we have already wrapped up a GREAT AD and HC, Pruitt may as well still be coaching. Because now We have the NCAA up our @$$.

This thing is too calculated.. I think it's already wrapped up sealed and delivered.. just have to play the waiting game so it doesn't look worse than it is

We won't win with Plowman in charge. I don't care about Tennessee football following the rules. I care about people wanting to win.

Ohio state is really regretting firing tressle and following rules now.

How do you know that to be certain?

anything is possible

Bet Schiano is having a good day

That dog and pony show with praising Fulmer had to be part of the agreement for him handing in his retirement papers. It was pointless having him out there for that presser other than for him to own some responsibility. He looked miserable.

It appears we are looking for a coach with the integrity of Rick Barnes, who want to come to a program who is being punished by the NCAA.

Agree, man don't shoot the messenger but if things get bad Mark Stoops would be solid IMO. Again, if things get way down the list.

Link me to the Basketball stories with your fancy google, nerd?

I wonder if the fact that there is zero chance we win 6 games next year will factor into our bowl ban punishment.

 

[Geronimo]

@Freak can we purge this thread and start fresh for the new searches? Just one request: anybody but you and @jordan4vols can start it!

 

[Dudleys87]

I think that includes the quality control people.

So Tennessee could literally need to fill a number of positions before all is said and done.

 

[Deebowbear]

I’d say Tee and Graham are safe if they want to be

Let the new coach pick his own staff

 

[m1al]

I just worry that we set ourselves back more with this venture than just firing for being a **** HC.

You don't get rid of Phil that way. I realize many don't want to accept it, but Phil WAS part of the problem.

Urban followed all the rules lol. OSU never approached their football program with high ethical standards. It took them 1 year of Fickell to realize it wouldn't get it done.

I really think they invited the NCAA in because they thought this was “minor” stuff to start with, but then it hit the fan!! At that point you can’t act like there is nothing going on.

Oh ya? We’re gonna go out and hire a 2-time National Championship coach to help right the ship?

And Barnes can recruit in basketball, which is DIRTIER than football. It can be done.

The next guy is severely knee capped already before even taking the job. Not a great place to be

True, but everyone in this universe knows he will be handicapped, so considering the mess he will inherit the new coach will probably have a longer honeymoon and therefore have a better chance of fixing it right

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Basilio just reported Danny Stiff was just terminated.

 

[JCP201]

How are we in trouble but Kirby Smart is fine?

We'd still have them up our @$$, the investigation wouldn't just "go away" once it started. Only we'd have Pruitt handicapped with the only thing he was even offering (cheating recruiting). So if ya thought 3-7 with him was the floor....imagine what it'd be with limited scholarships, bowl ban, and no ability to buy players.

 

[windrider]

I hope Fulmer is better at talking to players tonight than what he was in that Q&A...

There was little that Fulmer could say. His face said it all.

Those were uncovered with an FBI investigation, the NCAA started investigating based on that. But please, continue being miserable on a day when we should be looking forward to the future.
