Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[nicksjuzunk]

Yes or no: After we finish with a good recruiting class and VQ hypes up our team in the spring will people talk themselves into 10 wins?

I’ve been saying 6-7, and I’m still there

It is a lot funnier than the alternative.

Yep Barnes is sooo amazing, the win against Kansas, oh wait, well that tournament run from last year, whooooops. Well at least we won the sec tournament last year, oh wait. Yep talk to me when he accomplishes something

Lol. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

 

[Smokey123]

Your starting ILB of 2019

 

[Newman]

Need more like this kid on the team.

 

[MrVolton]

Will we ever be good again?

If Pruitt doesn’t get it done, I’m afraid concussion lawsuits will end the game before we are ever have a chance to be good again.

This makes me smile

How long until we get a real head coach

Do you ever bring anything of value to the board? You belong in the FF with the rest of the bottom feeders.

 

[Dooby15]

I guess the rumors have started. New coordinator on the way, players no-shows at practice. Can't wait to hear the rest. Crazy season is here.

Just for clarification when they said players didn’t show they meant not giving 100% effort at practice; not skipping practice.

I think this is Year 1. The coaches can earn as much time as they need by winning and recruiting well. CJP has high standards and wants to win, so he and Fulmer are on the same page. UT is giving him everything he needs and has requested. If he wants to make staff changes or have a higher recruiting budget, I'm sure he'll get it.

Thank you. I think it's not totally fair to put it all on Helton because the garbage OL, but he hasn't helped himself much on offense. Wonder if there will be a change there?

 

[LA Vol]

There’s no reason you pay coaches more than you need to. We tried to throw big money and Gundy and he didn’t bite. Same thing with Strong (Even tho Counzo talked him out of it). We didnt go cheap at all with Helton, Shoop, etc either.

FMV. You hire the guy who's capable of doing what you hiring him to do and pay him what he's worth. Gundy didn't bite because he was never interested in the UT job. But I'm sure he appreciates being able to parlay our offers for nice bumps at the school where he has clearly and repeatedly indicated he wants to coach.

Honest question: has Helton been heavy on the recruiting trail recently?

 

[LargePairOfVols]

9-13 range imo

17. I think we miss on most of our high-level targets, unfortunately.

Nope

If we’re 17 after the bad finish last year we are in real trouble.

Top ten or bust.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I hate it, but Helton was so bad he needs to go

WOuld be a huge disappointment

At this point im not sure top 10 should be expected unless Pruitt really comes out and makes a strong statement regarding the program. I feel like a lot of guys that are looking at Tennessee are really unsure of the future ( like Crouch). We need JG and some guys on defense to show some LEADERSHIP through the off season.

 

[OrangenSC]

IDK if that's really what this is about, but if so I love it. I want people who care enough that it hurts. What's with "#JeremyBanks32"? His number is 33.
