Pruitt has met with Freeze about OC position (Price)

[allvol123]

Hire Freeze and Vols finish 3rd in the East next year, at worst.

Auburn actually doesn’t run “Lindsey’s” system. Not trying to be a jerk at all, but I thought the same thing. I’ve read several accounts that it’s completely Malzahn’s system. Similar to Butch not letting Shoop run his system. Having said that, I’m not really sure what Lindsey’s system would be.

I would like to see us go after McClendon personally, FWIW.

YouTube Southern Miss’s 2014 and 2015 seasons for the best indicator of Lindsey’s system.

Anybody else think this gets announced Saturday? I do because it'll be after the 11/30/18 Show-cause expires(I know it wouldn't affect this hiring) and also it'll be on the day of the SEC championship game and will likely be scrolling across bottom of screen all day long. Makes sense. GBO!!!

 

[Electric Orange]

Whoever we hire, I hope they are competent enough to allow Pruitt to mostly focus on running the defense. I hear defense can win games too.

I think Pruitt hires Dan Enos from the Bama coaching staff. He is the Asst. head coach and QB coach. He has been a OC before. People on here worry too much. About who Pruitt will hire. If Tennessee hires a guy like Freeze he will be gone in a year or two. So hire a guy like Dan Enos who Pruitt knows and someone who will be here for a while. You people always got something bad to say about a Freeze, Kiffin, but is Saban hires them he is a a coach who is a trend setter or he is ahead of his time. Everybody is tired of what Tennessee football has become. The higher ups at Tennessee is the one to blame. Hiring Kiffin, Dooley and Jones. Kiffin left for his dream job. (i dont blame him for that). You people want any former Tennessee player to leave their job and come here. No different in what Kiffin did. Dooley and Jones were just in way over their heads.

I want a guy who’s called plays before in the sec not a qb coach. We just had a qb coach for OC and look how that turned out

 

[butchna]

I dont think he got in trouble for any of that

Not aware of any...outside of Kelly. And that may have been before Ole Miss and he took a two year sabbatical.

Enos did call plays he was offensive coordinator for Arkansas before he came to Bama

I thought that was him Chaney?

Enos called plays at Arkansas.

 

[KeyVol14]

Enos called plays at Arkansas.

I was not aware of that

 

[dcVOLfanatic]

Well then I’m not sure what the warranted hype is coming from. I’m not familiar with his previous stops before auburn

Not disagreeing with you. I don’t really feel like he’s an upgrade from Helton. Just hoping whoever comes in can bring some life to the offense; work a miracle on the offensive line and develop a qb. Not too much to ask, right?

 

[hardesty02]

Chaney called plays at Arkansas for a couple seasons then left with KIRBY and Enos cape in

I think Freeze would prefer to come to UT unlike Bama where everything is scrutinized

 

[bbstone]

Crimson Tide Kryptonite. Let's roll with Freeze. Would be fun to watch.

 

[OrebankVol]

The meltdown when we don’t hire him is going to be epic. I may have to pull the plug.

That was one of my first thoughts when I read that we had talked to Freeze. My beloved Vols are sending me to an early grave with suspenseful coaching searches

My only concern with Freeze is that he won’t be here long if we get him. And then you’re right back where we started. He comes in and starts turning the offense around, he’s a HC again in a year or two at the most. I do think he’s the best offensive coach we have a shot at, just not sure juice is worth the squeeze when you weigh out the long term.

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Who was Freeze’s OC at ole miss during their good years?

 

[Roustabout]

Sankey

This fan base needs something to be excited about

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I feel a massive let down coming.

It’s the Volunteer way.

Only for those that think its really a possibility of Freeze coming here.

 

[KeyVol14]

I gotcha

 

[KeyVol14]

It’s a real possibility in more of the sense compared to gruden; I don’t believe he actually got an interview. Freeze did

 

[Doberman]

Only for those that think its really a possibility of Freeze coming here.

We hired Derek Dooley.

Anything is possible.

 

[cwbytruckers]

I absolutely have no inside news but im calling Hiring Freeze until further notice.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

just see on one of the other threads that either a player of staff at bama said that they cant wait to work with freeze... anyone have any other info

I haven't but I have seen atleast 3 Vol fans on twitter say that Freeze had unblocked them out of the blue today.
