Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[BigSteve09]

Also, I'm looking forward to national media that have it out for us releasing pieces with anonymous quotes from current coaches, without knowing the context or if it's even from a coach that would be interested in us or have us interested in them.

"I wouldn't go there for any amount of money. It's a mess."

"They stab their own coaches in the back, good luck there."

"No one will go there with the NCAA holding the hammer over the program"

Could paying for a kids hotel room for unofficial visits be counted as separate violations?

Big Kat wasn’t at meeting I don’t believe

Texas fires Herman and immediately names replacement.

Tennessee fires Pruitt. AD retires. Hires search firm for AD first. Will take several weeks to hire the guy who will hire a coach. That will take several more weeks.

I’m going to need a refill for my acid reflux medication

“Not that fast. AD maybe end of the month, I would think more like Valentine's Day.”

Asleep at the wheel again with no plan! They've known this was a possibility since Nov. 13th. They should have been vetting ADs and coaches in the backchannels the whole time!!!

I didn't think he was for sure safe when he hired Steele and went to California. When I heard he spent 8 hours with the attorneys I thought he was in real trouble.

[BigOrangeFanatic]

If you made the hire who is your guy?

-Hubbs

Wow, Hubbs doesn't think theres Steele a chance?

 

[Leeleesteeth]

AP has been wrong about just about everything and has made some very definitive statements that were 100% incorrect. I wouldn't get my underwear twisted over too much he has to say.

-Hubbs

Soooo who did he choose here lmao
Of those four? KIFFIN

 

[VOLSONLY]

Steele?

-AP

 

[Jimmy Football]

AP being told to push Steele seems like.

I wouldn’t pay much attention to AP right now. He’s on tilt. You can tell from the tone of his posts.

 

[scienceteaching_vol]

bama doesn’t have a group of boosters Pointing out where the bodies are buried to get their AD removed when They don’t approve of his decisions

Dude. I'm a nobody but I read a lot of this forum. Are you ever positive about anything? Sounds to me like things needed changing. Lots of ugliness within the program that's coming to light. Bending the rules is one thing but being stupid about bending the rules is something different. It takes a village and it sounds like to me Pruitt was alienating the very people he depended on to have a successful program.

Either that or he is pissy about his Prubear getting fired.

Its the Tennessee way

Could paying for a kids hotel room for unofficial visits be counted as separate violations?

I would think so
Also a random poster from VQ said they heard we were leaving envelopes for kids at hotels. If so that's just sloppy.

 

[Volfanatic_20]

Chaney future?

Chaney has a year on his deal and is still the OC. If Steele were hired, I don't know that he would keep him.

If I were a HC I would call Lebby at Ole Miss.

Freak is stalling this thing as long as possible. His tri annual windfall is due. Jmo

I think OP is trolling

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I know search firms get a bad rep, but they’re a necessary evil. They do busy work that our admin doesn’t have time to do. Plowman and Boyd have a university and a system to run, they can’t be calling prospective coaches all day. Plus this lets coaches with current schools have plausible deniability. They can always say they didn’t talk to Tennessee about the opening because they technically talked to a 3rd party.

Also if anyone knows how I can get a gig with an executive search firm, I am interested.

Rivals.com - Recruits react to Jeremy Pruitt's dismissal at Tennessee

Notably Simpson says he still loves tennessee, but it does affect his recruitment

 

[volswillrise12]

Yep. I am with you
it’s a risk he just goes back to the nfl but worth it

I think so consider the mess he took over at Penn State...way worse than what he’d get here 4 year postseason bowl ban and docked 40 scholarships there. He has a track record. The Texans thing...don’t know how much you can penalize him for that IMO...

 

[Volfanatic_20]

Top 3 you go after?

Chadwell
Lane
If those two don’t want it then Steele to stabilize

-AP

 

[BigSteve09]

Edit: I see now. That's hilarious

 

[Volfanatic_20]

Worse look Schiano Sunday or Todays mess?

This one has greater ramifications because you sat at a mic and said you cheated to an extensive degree.

Schiano was different because University side got cold feet and didn't stand with the AD and some powers that be including Peyton.
