Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

I’m guessing Pruitt kicked @HankHill out of his sweet cubicle and stuck him in a broom closet down in the basement.

I don't get this dumping on UT admin for anything that's happened since Pruitt was hired. What more could UT have given Pruitt to help him succeed? He has the staff he handpicked, the longer-term contracts he wanted, all the facility upgrades he requested and the nation's largest recruiting budget. He even gets a do-over on OC and a hefty budget to make the hire. Seems like he's been given the opportunity and all the resources he could want to succeed.

Now they just also need to give him the time. That may be the hardest part.

You can lead a horse to watef but you cannot make him drink. If players just dont want to do something, there is literally nothing a coach can do. Just stop.

I actually told a parent this once when accussed of not motivating his child to do well at school....even though the majority in the room were doing quite well, and my test scores were at the top in the county. I'm sure it is very true when you get a team that is not used to working hard and knows you have to depend on them for the remainder of the year.

When Debord ran his real offense (The bowl game against I think Northwestern?) it was a legit offense. I honestly wouldn’t mind him lol. Couldn’t be any worse than last years debacle.

The only real difference in that game and the rest of his time here was that he ran under center with a FB 4-5 times (and NU had no film on that either).

Our offense did work against Northwestern because they didn’t have the personnel to match up with Dobbs/Hurd/Kamara/Malone.

Haslam about to pull a Haslam that ends up helping us?

Rumor that McCarthy will be next Browns HC. McCarthy is his own play caller which would lead to potential of Kitchens walking. Kitchens likely would be popular in other NFL spots though... either way interesting possibility that it could open up if browns hire McCarthy

It would make sense to give the Gregg Williams HC/Freddie Kitchens OC combo that has led the franchise to more wins than the previous three years combined a legit shot, but then again, we are talking about some of the dumbest football minds of all time calling those shots.

Can someone explain to me why most don't want sark I mean Sarkisian has improved every collegiate offense that he has taken over from the regime that was there before him includung Kiffin at USC. He favors a pro-style offense that falls in line with the style of play 2nd year Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt prefers to run. He also has proven to be a solid recruiter and coached multiple Heisman contenders in Jake Locker and Cody Kessler in past years. At the pro level, Sarkisian has ran an offense on the cusp of being in the top 10 without the teams dynamic running back. In addition to those accolades, Sarkisian also has experience in the SEC and coaching in a National Championship game. I would be cool with yurich. Just don't get the hate for a guy who has been a great OC.

I think what it came down to was some Falcons fans upset about the Falcons losing. Although some pointed out the defense was more to blame. There were some that were concerned with the drinking problem.

He would be a great hire for several reasons. I don't care what falcons fans say. NFL and college games are different. He doesn't have to be x and o genius like Shanahan that spoiled them to have high success in college. He has proven record in college offensively. Anyone following Shanahan will look defecient play call wise. Guy is unlike any I have seen calling plays. Tough act to follow

OC still unsolved mystery
We are not a good football program and you should be able to rattle off 20-30 programs that are better than us.
Titans lose.
Recruiting is harder here than basically everywhere else in the SEC.
Mullen would have gotten us to a bowl this year.

Antiquated thinking. LDL has different particle sizes. Tha amount of LDL is a small factor, but mot a large one. Statins have been effective somewhat but they have many side effects and are by and large unnecessary in most people. The efficacy of statins has been in question for a long time. Statins are one of the most prescribed drugs for a reason. And its not for the safety and well being of patients.

High LDL and triglycerides are symptoms of inflammation, which is most likely the actual cause or major contributor to heart disease. Some statins have been shown to help, but some also reduce inflammation. Unproven, but my guess is that it isn't reductions in LDL that are helping, it's the reduction in inflammation. That doesnt fit the narrative though.

Good thing he let him keep his swingline or there would have been a 4 alarm fire on campus.

Was a healthy 182 a little over a year ago.
This morning - 133.
Hell of a diet if you can accept the side effects

Have you been to Duke? I know a woman that had the same affliction who went there and got relief through surgery.

But look what it took for us to get to that point over the last decade. Complete ineptitude by the administration until Fulmer took over. Fulmer being AD is why Pruitt is getting everything he needs to succeed. If Currie was still AD, Pruitt isn’t our coach, and whoever is surely isn’t getting the resources that Pruitt is getting to succeed.

I hate Eeyore Vol fans. I had one tell me yesterday "All the good OC's have been taken , Pruitt has really screwed this up, and we are going to end up getting a bargain basement no name up and comer".

Did I explain Fulmer has gotten Pruitt everything he wanted ?
Did I explain Pro regular season and bowl games are just now wrapping up?

Nah I just looked at him and thought which jackwagon negavol are you on VN?

 

[rekinhavoc]

Temple should hire Leach.

Poor temple

The fact that other teams moved more quickly than us is bothering a lot of people and I have to say, I don't 100% disagree with them. However, the majority of the names we started with on the board are still out there so I think we will still get our guy in the end.

It’s all optics but ultimately it doesn’t matter if we make the right here. It’s just hard to come up with a good reason why this has been so slow and drug out.
