Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

Desperate times. If you ain’t got the coaching you better have the players.

I’m lost. What is AV referring to.

Ray may still be in play.

 

[LoudOrange]

I got excited for a second cause I thought he meant about Pruitt possibly leaving. Recruiting doesn't mean much to me anymore cause players are not getting developed with this staff

But when he does go wouldn't you like the next coach to have as much talent as possible.

 

[BJWeeks]

There is enough money to fire Pruitt if Freeze wanted in. If Pruitt stays there is at least 4 coaches sent packing in which Tennessee would have to pay their buyouts and for new assistants as well

Raymor has it

Boom! Take that @volatil

Before the redneck, poor English, slow talking honesty was defended as we finally have a “football coach”

now all those things show us we have a poorly educated Bama redneck that is a poor head football coach

Yep, now we're in the mocking and belittling of the coach stage.

Just when you think you're out, Ray pulls you back in.

Can't defend the results this year.

But even I think it's still a tad early to be all in on the 'no development'argument.

That said, It needs to pick up pretty quick and we likely have to make some more changes..

But a good portion of the best talent on this roster is relatively young... And they all missed either year 1 to year 2 off season which is said to be the most important off season for development... Or they missed their first crack at competing for playing time or getting started on development.

So I'll put it in the TBD column.

It's a pretty good trait to have as a Coordinator, especially a DC. Not so much for a Head Coach. Coach Pruitt IS more suited to be a Coordinator.

Right now all is well. CJP is on a luke warm seat, but not in jeopardy of losing his job. The thing that helps the players is that CJP sat down and told them we will be better but we'll also have some tough moments. He also explained that while the talent has been upgraded, its also very young. Personally based on the fact that they wouldn't allow Saban to hire him as support staff nor CJP to hire him as OC, would they allow him to be hired as HC. SEC is pretty stern about their decisions and stick with them.

So just to be clear nobody is upset enough to possibly transfer?..has he lost the locker room in your opinion?...why is Pruitt so obsessed with trotting JG out there over playing HB?

 

[Weezer]

We’re gonna try and pull some rabbits out of the hat late. And may even throw in one or two flip surprises if the stars align properly.

Do you think we keep the top guys in this class committed? I really hope we do.

WHO IS RAY

He has f u dough and will save vol football.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

So when it comes to Ray, I assume the “Eagle” isn’t landing?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I just did some googling, im guessing Ray Hand owner of Eagle distributing company. Also Ray and Lucy hand digital studio. Ut coaches show is the only reason I think I found him.

He’s got a fantastic suite at Neyland tho.

Desperate times call for desperate measures

 

[KB5252]

You are asking the wrong questions.

Omfg bravo

 

[Weezer]

I'm of the belief that change isn't coming this season, other than some assistants. So it's either bail or keep hope alive. I've bled orange too long to bail, so that just leaves hope. I really hope Pruitt figures **** out and somehow turns this around. And yes, I guess I am a bit sadomasochistic.

 

[jakez4ut]

[BigOrangeVols]

Who else but Ray would save the day?

 

[jakez4ut]

Exactly. I am Ray!
