ahh that was the opposite of click bait

I can’t stand naysayers like you. So who do you want to hire? Straight up—who do we hire if it’s your choice?

Hugh Freeze without a doubt, if he says no then I hold onto Pruitt until Rhule gets fired from Carolina. If I strike out on those plans, then I go comb through the lower divisions for a coach who has a proven track record of success and has consistently developed players of all talents. Jeremy Pruitt was/is ill prepared to be a head coach at this level. He spent years at the high school level and was never a head coach. The vast majority of his coordinator experience at the college level was under Smart and Saban; both coaches have a major say in how the defense is schemed. I don't blame Pruitt for taking the job and not being prepared for it. I blame the UT administration for letting the program get to the point where an inexperienced coordinator was our best option.

If I'm Tennessee I go hard after Luke Fickell.

I would want someone who has been a HC for a significant amount of time and who has performed well during that time. Freeze is probably the best candidate out there that fits that mold.

Tom Allen is closer and has been HC at a power 5 school for 4-5 years now. He also has experience taking a program that is insignificant and building it into something respectable.

They should have won the bowl game against us. That would have given them a 9-4 season last year. They look much better this year. I just don’t know that we could get him.

I think Allen is a great coach. The only thing that would give me pause is that I don't know how he is as a recruiter. That's not to say that I don't believe he can recruit. I just haven't seen him do it yet.

touche... I have no idea either. I would imagine he could at Tennessee!

 

[butchna]

He shouldn't be coaching high school kids either. But it's Texas, so...

Yeah...that’s the state. So?

Since taking the job and recruiting the 65th ranked class he has since gone 45, 38 and 48.

I think the Schiano think had very little to do with his time at Penn State. JMO

Currently ranked 62 amidst the hot start. Two 4 stars amongst 13 commits tho.

 

[TheFlash1971]

Just go get Lane Kiffin PERIOD.

Night & day. A witness testified in court that staff at PS knew of the abuse by Sandusky. Baylor admitted in writing Briles did not violate their policies and paid him his full buyout. Briles was far less guilty of anything than Urban Meyer.

Also, Art Briles is a winner. Schiano is not. Just win baby win. That’s all that matters. We’re desperate.

It’s Indiana football. I’d venture a guess that 38 is their high water mark in recruiting in program history.

He’s not going to ditch another program after one year.

Getting any 4 stars to go to IU is a great accomplishment.

True. And you gotta think this changes quickly.

 

[igotworms]

He’s ok around high school kids but not college age kids ? What am I missing here?

Nothing

Just some dumbsh*t posters who just swallow what they're told.
Same as with Freeze and Schiano.
"I hate him bc the loud talking box told me to"

Your point is spot on

 

[igotworms]

Dumbest statement you've made so far

Such a convincing argument you've made.

Briles must have good friends at MT. Vernon HS. Not sure how he landed that gig other than connections.

 

[manndingo]

The man has built winners, is a genius on offense, would crawl here on broken glass for the job, and we could get him for a good price. Baylor had to admit that Briles did not violate their policies and they paid him his buyout. His name is tied to a bad situation but nobody has proved he violated any rules or laws. If we want to win, and don’t want to spend a shizload of cash, he’s our guy.

Name checks out...

 

[rocketskates]

He won’t happen. I bet eventually some other team will give him a chance and he will absolutely tear it up though

 

[tennrich1]

As long as there's no rioting and destroying innocence people's stuff (or burning down buildings and attacking people) when none of this happens then we should be ok to continue this discussion. And remember...All this is for entertainment purposes only! R-I-G-H-T!!!
