Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[mr.checkerboards]

I'm all about the teaching. Not sure how much time he's actually had to teach since he's had so little time with the unit. But let's say they do what you suggest. Just don't bitch if he leaves because of it. It's not like other teams haven't wanted him. They have. That should tell you something.

If Neids left because of that I wouldn't care. Coaches are hired to recruit and develop talent not one or the other. If he can't do both then oh well on to the next one

I’m willing to go the Mark Stoops route. It’s just year 3. I believe in Jeremy Pruitt, I think he can get it done. Let him build and establish the program. Give him plenty of time and patience. Let him find a QB and I think we’ll be good.

Don’t even want to talk about another coaching search.

This is most likely what will happen.

Phil of all people knows the benefits of giving a coach time to build a program. He and Majors both are lucky Twitter was non existent back then lol.

Most people are lucky social media wasn’t around in their day. Hell I’m in my 30’s and glad it wasn’t around lol

Glad to see Lane using his platform to bring awareness to this. Though he made a mockery of us, I believe he has a sweet spot for UT.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

No

Glad you’re not in charge

 

[UT = Checkmate]

Cowboys should trade for Dobbs.

Cowboys about to tank for Trevor.

Agreed having a coaching search every 5 years kills the trajectory of the program. Might as well give Pruitt 6-8 years and see what happens. Shouldn’t judge CJP (criticize sure) until the roster is all of his players starting with the current sophomore class (18’ class I don’t consider his players due to him only having 2 months to recruit).

At some point he needs to show results. So far nothing

 

[VOLSONLY]

Truthfully, I'm with Bass on this one, for now. Why fire Pruitt to replace him with another roll of the dice? Ask me again next season and maybe I'll be of a different opinion, but right now it would just be insanity.

Yes I’m right there with y’all. We’ve road the roller coaster enough. Give him time and see what he can do. He’s got the smarts(IQ)to do it, but can he transfer that over to his players? Hope so

Heard today on espn he’s thinking about staying for his senior year

I wouldnt want to play for the Jets either

 

[Devo182]

Feels like a "who's on first?" Conversation broke out in here about the Memphis trio lol

OD's 1 man Broadway show

Don’t blame him if his options are the Jets. Better think long and hard.

 

[Batman1948]

That probably means he's not a fan of living in New York or maybe his bagman is loading up his off shore bank account

Make your calls for the rest of the season.

Ark - W
Texas A&M - W
Auburn - W
Vandy - W
Florida - L

Ark - 65%
TAMU - 40%
Auburn - 45%
Vandy - 90%
UF - 30%

2.7 more wins

Best chance at 5-5. 4-6 next. Still a reasonable chance at 6-4.

No doubt, overall #1 draft pick can have its disadvantages

 

[butchna]

I know he used to coach at Bama. Is he actually good? Don't know anything else about him.

Good to great fundamental coach. He’s always had elite talent and they play up to it. Elite recruiter and his players swear by him.

Sooooo Cat what’s up with the pineapple AVI?

Sooooo Cat what’s up with the pineapple AVI?

I was wondering the same thing

 

[beneVOLence]

SIAP

On the question about what we are doing well and what needs improvement, CJP spent like 20 seconds on the offense and the rest of 2-3 minutes on the defense and special teams. Is that an indictment on the offense or just because he is a defensive minded coach? I guess it could be a little of both.

 

[GojiraVol17]

At some point he needs to show results. So far nothing

In his defense, Majors & Fulmer both took multiple years to really show their worth and live up to their billing. We can’t be pounding sand after a year and half of the man actually getting his type & style of players and getting his culture implemented. We’re just asking fans like yourself to have a measure of patience. That’s all. It’s tough I know but if allowed to do what he is very much capable of doing, I certainly think we’re a perennial threat/contender with the big boys in a reasonable time frame.

[Fun coupon VOL]

What changed from inning 1 to whatever where he was with his teammates(close contact) to after the game celebrating. Our public figures are so freaking stupid. No common sense.

Haha that’s alright, Occupation Fruit Ninja
