Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Volator]

Past 10 quarters, the Vols have been outscored by 81 points (105 to 24). If JG gives us s the best chance to win, then would hate to see what would happen if another QB played majority of snaps. Think today's game plan tried to use what little JG does well, thus the conservative nature except for the occasional bomb that he likes to throw.

 

[Devo182]

I don’t believe this anymore. Not impossible to turn around a program into something respectable quickly. As much roster turnover as there in college football, it can happen.

Yeah but did you include the UT variable in Matlab?

 

[B EaZy40]

What happened to tackling?

 

[vol4eva]

Tell me about it. I sorta look forward to Sundays now.

Tannehill throwing dimes and Henry trucking and running away from DBs.

Watching JG and co, it’s like a bad high school offense in comparison.

 

[drvenner]

I am to the point where I just don't think we will ever be good until JG is gone. I don't blame him for today. Our game plan was pathetic and our defense looks lost, but this program needs a new face y, a fresh start and leadership. I thank JG for all his time and effort, but please, Sir move on to your next adventure.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Bass it has nothing to do with being out. His stubbornness and unwillingness to get other guys experience when JG is clearly on the verge of getting benched in a blowout loss is blatant coaching malpractice. You should have gotten someone else reps when you knew the game was out of reach so that they get experience.

I agree with this. No excuse for not playing Maurer/Bailey the entire 4th quarter at least

I don’t think JG has hit a slant, crossing, or seam route all season

Try ever.

This really pisses me off. You can get away with this at Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, but not at a place that is starving for talent you refuse to play them because they haven’t earned it? Basically admitted our best players aren’t playing.

HAHAHA this reminds me of that practice video of JG throwing a RB wheel route 5 yards away from him...it was funny then..I’m definitely not laughing now.

Deep out side streaks and the occasional flat all he's got. All he's ever had.

Nailed it.

[eVOLve]

That was a pretty good offensive performance.

 

[Weezer]

I'm not a nega or a pumper, I'm a realist. More people need to live in reality. Pruitt isn't getting fired this season. The soonest he possibly gets fired is after next season. If it happens, we'll just hire another roll of the dice coach.

He’s all talk...doesn’t want the smoke...he looks absolutely lost.

They won't get prepared if you won't play them!

Our next HC needs to be an OL coach, imo.

So let’s see here..

If Tennessee fires Pruitt here’s what’ll happen:

Almost immediately (like that week) we see decommitments from everyone in our recruiting class that’s worth a damn with somewhere else to go. Dylan Brooks ends up at Auburn or Alabama, Terrence Lewis stays in Miami, Aaron Willis and Katron Evans MIGHT stick around, Kaidon Salter stays in state because he won’t be able to get to know the new OC. Cody Brown goes to Auburn, Kaemen Marley goes to UNC.. you get the point.

Jeremy Pruitt is almost IMMEDIATELY hired by Alabama as the DC.

False Grumors fire up again, half the fan base says anyone less than Urban Meyer is unacceptable. We don’t have the money to offer him. Fan base goes into a frenzy.

PJ Fleck opts to stay in Minnesota for less money, Matt Campbell does the same at Iowa State, and Bronco Mendenhall at UVA

False report that Scott Satterfield from Louisville is hired picks up steam but is proven false

Hugh Freeze chooses to take the Auburn job over here after Gus Mahlzan is fired

Billy Napier is hired as the new head coach but only on the condition that he takes his entire UL-Lafayette staff with him.. and it falls through.

After all that, Tennessee finally hires Texas A&M defensive coordinator Mike Elko as the new HC.

A slew of transfers happen after Derrick Ansley and Brian Neidermeyer are not retained. Including Henry To’oto’o, Quavaris Crouch, Darnell Wright, Brian Maurer, Dominic Bailey, Doneiko Slaughter, and about 5 or 6 other Pruitt guys that are ONLY here because of that coaching staff. This would likely include Harrison Bailey. Jarrett Guarantano opts to stay for year 6 after the depth chart thins.

Tennessee finishes at 22 in the nation for recruiting after having to replace all of their big departures with low 3 stars that weren’t being recruited by other SEC schools

Cade Mays and Bryce Thompson declare for the NFL draft

Tennessee finishes 4-8 in 2021, and finishes barely top 15 in recruiting with Ty Simpson at Clemson and Walter Nolen at LSU.

Or, this season we finish 5-5 or 6-4. Salvage the class, sign 2 more guys we need and get ready for 2021 with Harrison Bailey as the guy and a potential 9-10 win season on the horizon, and a shot at a top 5 class in 2022.

Think about this before you just want to fire the HC.

As bad as this sucks, the Schiano crowd can try to take their high ground but Michigan state sucks, and id rather have have this terrible play than Schiano as a coach. Let’s see Schiano in 3 years...

 

[BruinVol]

I don’t think JG has hit a slant, crossing, or seam route all season

He tried two tonight and the WR simply can’t beat the coverage. They aren’t getting any separation at all

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

Slap ass in the middle of 83 acres. I can’t wait.

Where you at? County?

Late and behind on both, but you do you.

 

[eVOLve]

Trash D. Bama is just better.

This year is doing nothing for me. Hardly any fans and it just feels like preseason NFL in college this year.
