Pruitt has met with Freeze about OC position (Price)

[preacherwebb]

Pipedream alert:

Harrison Bailey announces he is committing to Tennessee, reclassifying to 2019, and that Hugh Freeze is our OC.

Help a brother out here ... I keep hearing on podcasts about this "reclassifying." Someone tell me what that means ... please and thanks.

Letting Freeze go to Bama would incite the next Vol Revolution..

I've got 2 mattresses in the garage ready to set on fire.

I don't really care for that song, but I do love me some Taylor Swooft.

He has enough credits to where he could technically graduate in May. Due to that, he could reclassify to the ‘19 class and enroll at UT. If I’m right and that happens, he wouldn’t sign until ‘20 and would count towards the ‘20 class. But he could play in ‘19. It would be like what Jake Bentley did with SC.

If a guy is academically eligible then he can graduate high school a year early and start his college career a year earlier than the recruiting class he was first in.

I think Bailey can graduate HS early and go ahead and enroll at UT a year early but he stated today that he is not going to reclassify so the pipe dream is dead.

I saw in an interview prior with Freeze that he stated he was a life long Tennessee Vol fan, so this should be a wanted job by him

Gotta think he would love to coach Bailey, the pay will be excellent, so I think it’s gonn be if Pruitt thinks he is a good fit.

Forgive me but I'm not getting the joke lol

Freeze would be nice get. Kentucky,Vandy,Missouri,and South Carolina all lose a ton of Senior starters and Qb’s. I’ll take 4Sec wins next year. Xmas spirit is strong

 

[jimed1]

Well that question was answered plenty of times.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN

If they met and Freeze didn't leave with a signed contract in his pocket, someone at some level failed. There are no other interviews needed if he's willing to take the job. If he's unwilling, just add 50k to his pay every time he says no until he says yes.

Never seen a squirrel twerk before......

 

[GVol1966]

After the last decade of administrative apathy and incompetence and the complete cluster of a coach search last year, exactly what "reputation and standing" are you so desperately trying to protect?

I almost laughed out loud at that!
Every other school thinks we cheat, just like we think everyone else does!
Those that worry about our reputation and standards make me laugh

Well guys on TOS said it's still a possibility so wouldn't give up quite yet. Seemed like he just wanted the twitterverse to leave him alone about it.

Will be great either way!

thanks errbody!

SEC has already cleared Hugh Freeze to be hired...
I am sure Fulmer asked permission and got it...

Serious question because I really don't know the answer. If the SEC said we don't want you to hire Freeze and we did, what could the SEC do?

 

[FranklinVol-615]

Freak, I love UT Football

But If they screw this up and let Alabama get him because we slow played him, I may go nuclear

As I said the other day, if Freeze doesn’t come here, it’s because he chose someplace else. There is a ton of mutual interest. From what I am hearing, I believe we get it done.

Sic the refs on us..
Seriously, there are not any restrictions on him so he can take any job he wants now

Who doesn't

Don't know the rules, and haven't heard it mentioned -- is there a requirement to interview minority candidates as part of the process? If so, that might prevent an immediate hire.
