Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Y'all making me nostalgic for Kingston and Hank's morning "fireside chats". An insider's look at which coaching names we should be kicking around.

Maybe nostalgia isn't the right word. Nausea! That's the one.

Now a different tactic: stir up the “he’ll crawl to Bama” garbage. First he’ll never win the division now this. Might have to put him back on ignore

Let's hang 40+ on Candy to thank them for last year and then whip ass in a bowl--- Ima bettin we get a few 'cruits we didn't think we'd get and/or flip a few

 

[Kingston Vol]

He deserves a raise and an extension. Give him what he wants and lock him down. In spite of Kingston’s thoughts before and mid season, he is the guy

I wouldn’t be opposed to a raise and extension. I thought Nebraska was smart to do it for Frost and Pruitt has had better results than him up to this point. I’m very hopeful the last eight weeks are “true” results and we’re going to build on it going forward.

I guess the calculation we’d have to make about that is if we’re willing to stick with him if we have a losing season next season. That seems improbable but not totally impossible and you can’t give him a raise and extension if you’re not willing to ride through that. And I imagine we’d be willing to do so.

Good news is we’ve done all the vetting for Arkansas and Florida State.

If he doesn't have you on ignore. You're not doing it right.

 

[engineerVOL]

I’ve never been a guy that cares what a coach makes, weighing the worth of giving him an extension, etc. Money has time and time again proven to be irrelevant at a place like UT. We will spend. It doesn’t affect the average fan. I just don’t care. Salaries are a drop in the bucket.

If Lyle was able to get a raise and extension by underachieving, CJP sure as hell deserves one for turning this team around. Lock him and this staff up long term.

And the SOB lied to the cops. Figured as much.

I'd sell you the wife's mirrors, if I knew the F250 mirrors would fit on the F150. She wants the tow mirrors.

 

[LA Vol]

Every time things start going well, speculation arises about our coaches being stolen away by their "dream" schools. If only UGA had taken Dooley and Notre Dame or Michigan had come after Butch...

I am on my way and I'm gonna kick his azz

 

[drvenner]

So, from what I can tell, Pruitt had the training staff wait a bit before tending to injured players, and he upped the intensity of practice.

how the hell is this newsworthy?

He also wanted a medical staff that he knew and could trust. I am also sure he vetted it with Fulmer. Much ado about nothing.

That dlatt fella is going to jump on this with both feet. He will probably tag Dan Wolken, too.

Yeah, I'm not gonna borrow trouble, least of my worries right now. Still a long way to go.

 

[tnhunter 10]

@David Ubben looks like Coach Pruitt and his players love each other and fight for each other.

I’m very happy with the SEC wins this year and it’s great progress. But I’m not on board with throwing extensions and whatnot at coaches before they do anything meaningful. Give the man a raise, fine. But do not add buyout amounts or time to a contract before anything has been done worth it.

 

[reVOLution33]

One or two may be looking around and that’s a good thing.....

Committed? Or already on the team?

 

[JacketVol]

I’m sorry, but if Pruitt says Maurer’s situation was out of his control and the doctors were the only one to make the call.....why would he have done that with Kirkland?

I don’t buy it.

Don't think I am going to be cheering Saturday for old Kirkland. He may have these feelings but why bring it up now? Can't you let the fans enjoy something for more than three days? Hate you @David Ubben

 

[Glitch]

Never say never but his family has told Ubben that he’s locked in and doesn’t want the Bama job.

The same @David Ubben that kicks puppies for fun and puts out his cigarettes on the arms of quadriplegics? Is that the @David Ubben his family talked to?

 

[JacketVol]

Kirkland wanted to avoid further injury to protect his draft chances. He wanted to focus on rehabbing full-time, not on anyone else's schedule. I'm surprised he's running through the T.

Back in the day, he may not have got the chance after this. Someone would've knocked him out. But quietly. Where is Al Wilson when you need him.

 

[JAllen18]

Can't take anything seriously from @David Ubben. Seems like everything he writes just screams Click Bait. It's like hes trying to break a scandal story every time.

What would Pruitt’s record be if he were coaching Bama this season?

 

[Catbone]

@LA Vol Putting up number like we did vs Missouri in the pass game with an elite QB coming in losing our best receivers and Callaway looking elsewhere. What exactly is Tee doing on the recruiting trail?

 

[MetalVolunteer]

Committed

 

[Bearwallow Bandit]

I don’t think he’d be at the top of the list. But I also don’t figure they’re going to have an easy time getting someone to take that job and follow Saban either.

A few close to Pruitt have said he legitimately feels like he's a better coach than Saban. Now is that true? Of course not. But for that reason alone I don't think he'd hesitate for a second to follow Saban if given the opportunity. Another reason being the obvious, him being an Alabama guy to the core. With that being said, by all accounts he seems to love it at Tennessee. One thing to watch in 2-3 years will be who replaces Fulmer. Pruitt won't stay at a place nor would he ever leave for anywhere if that school isn't totally committed to winning in every aspect. If they put some slappy in there to replace Phillip we're in trouble.

Gotta be ready to upgrade at all times bud. Jobs. Spouses, and coaches. Team short leash around here.
