Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Fitz will get him in shape . Let's roll.

Fits was rumored to be linked to S/C coach job at Maryland. Was that ever squashed or do we still stand to potentially lose him to his Alma Mater?

Sarkisian or bust!

Ok, in the realm of plausible outcomes, Sark could be very likely. He and Pruitt obviously know each other from Bama. Would explain Mathews comments on SEC experience. Would also explain why there has been so little movement on the hiring: waiting on his buyout from the Falcons. Sark being in Atlanta means he likely could have interviewed covertly. Explains why AV is silent on it as well. I am lso thinking Sark wants to get back in the college game. Connect the dots, right?...Nahh!

Fact.

Currently the most painful thing about this search is the colonoscopy ad with Harry Connick Jr. smiling like he really enjoys a good colonoscopy.

Someone’s been googling “colonoscopy!”

2 earthquakes reported in East Tennessee

Boom it must’ve happened early this morning and the hire is literally earth shakingly big!

Felt it in Georgia....I turned to my wife as we lay in bed and said, "We just got our OC!"...BOOM!!!!!

 

[SmokeyDaBear]

Do we know who all is visiting this weekend?

Or she tooted and was too embarrassed to correct you.

Sorry fellas

I was searching for a new GIF, and as awful as that was, it had to be unearthed

This makes a lot of sense that it is either someone from the NFL or a high level P5 OC still coaching and out of respect to him and his wishes, we are keeping it under wraps.

 

[rekinhavoc]

As long as they are looking at OC candidates with poor judgement why not call ol' Bobby Petrino up?

you are more than likely correct....most times I do the tootin' and blame it on the kids.

Day 17

 

[StoVol]

For those just waking up and skipping forward

Tuesday brought literally no news on the Tennessee offensive coordinator front. The lack of news certainly gives thought to the idea that Oklahoma State offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich is not going to end up in Vol orange.

Now, we don’t have anyone telling us that the possibility is completely dead, but it’s been five days since Yurcich interviewed for the job. And with each passing day the possibility seems to grow less likely meaning either Yurcich wants to stay in Stillwater or Jeremy Pruitt is not pursuing him very hard.

So the obvious question is if Yurcich is not the choice then where is Pruitt’s search heading next.

Pruitt interviewed Kendal Briles and Jeff Lebby on Friday as well, but multiple sources have told Volquest that Yurcich was the most impressive of the three.

Briles has been thought to be headed to Florida State, but that deal hasn’t gotten done and sources have told us that Briles is not a factor with the Vols. It’s also be said to Volquest that Lebby has told people he’s not heading to Rocky Top.

So as Tennessee’s official search for an offensive coordinator enters day 16, the two questions are where is the search going and what is timetable? Thats if there even is one with the early signing date a week from today.

Haha. There were tremors when I was a Freshman at UTC in 2001-2002. I woke up with blurry vision and almost rolled out of bed from shakes. This exact thought crossed my mind when it happened.

This is like Lucky Luciano's safe....everyone is trying to get information on it but don't really know where to go. I think the people that are used to getting detail info is not getting that info and is just grasping at straws. Some fans are demanding updates and answers, and they've got nothing. Instead of saying that got nothing, they just write vague pieces to satisfy the fans need for information.

 

[DD4ME]

Hard to get excited for this search tbh.

Not dead yet but the pulse is weak.

 

[BruinVol]

One day closer to the NFL season being over!


I love tomorrow! Let's wait til then!


NFL!!!!!

Did a google search for Sark and ghostbusters...

I was very excited, but the amount of time that it is taking killed the anticipation.

It’s really disheartening. I opened the door on Pruitt after Missouri and vandy.... if we go through this search and end up promoting within...I’ll have one foot out of it.
