Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[99Vol]

He took over during the middle of Schianogate and every coach was scared to come here. Way different situation now.

Remind me who interviewed and was turned down in favor of Kiffin, Dooley, and Butch?...

 

[99Vol]

I know us as Vol fans have just become empathetic, but damn we need to get off our asses like we did to block the Schiano hire. Hit the streets every damn day until the deal is done. Lol I don't know, just incredibly frustrating fans even have to think like that. If they deny us after that, it's a big middle finger right in our faces. And we know to never support this ****** ass program again until all those clueless as old people move on or you know what else. I'm sorry for being cold, but it's the truth. Until there's drastically different people in charge there it's not going to get better unless us fans force their hands.

$makes it go and I just don’t think their on board

Not our faults the power players made bad hires. They could still make it right finally by hiring the man that says UT is his dream job.

I like him.
If that’s the only name in a decade of interviews then the writings on the wall until an up and comer turns it around.

There’s no money. Coaches are taking pay cuts.
We will not be firing CJP anytime soon unfortunately.

Money comes from the fans so if they want money they can't lose the fanbase. It's seriously time from us fans to give it up. I know we love Vol football, we take passion in being die hard. But if we continue this one sided relationship, it's gonna just get worse. Sometimes you have to let go for things to get better.

It's the University of ****ing Tennessee. They can find money. It's delusional to think otherwise. Take out damn loans from your countless rich as hell alumni, I don't care at this point. Do what you gotta do.

I get it.
They don’t care.

 

[UTK]

Even a lowly peasant like myself can find money even when I technically don't have it. Lol

Money. Is. Not. An. Excuse.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Wonder if either Penn State or Michigan are going to call Freeze.

 

[Hollovol05]

‘21 class going to have a much different look moving forward...stay the course.

Exactly. So the people that do care, have to do something. Burn buildings down or some ****, okay I'm kidding. Kind of lmao

Hey @nicksjuzunk ,

I just finished my leg workout.
200 squats with a 65 lb. backpack on.
800 body weight squats.
I did 10 sets of 100 reps.
This is my first day for this workout. I will increase the reps with the backpack as I improve.

My HR max was 146. Would rest for a song between sets to let my HR slow down. Didn’t get below 100 bpm for the routine.

I am 58 now. I plan to do this every other day for 2 months. Upper body on the other days.

What do you think? Your opinion would be appreciated.

Imo purchase some IcyHot cause you gonna be sore for days

 

[Vols4us]

The time to seek and hire a quality new coach is when you are not pressed hard to find one.

Now would be the time to be doing that. Stop making forced and panic hires of wannabes. They cost too much financially and with the goodwill of the fan base as the program drops into bottom feeder status. You don't need a 100,000 seat stadium to field the product we have been. Vandy's cracker box will do fine for that.

Go big or just deemphasize and forget it.

Having a Joe Burrow like surge this season

 

[reeceb73]

Time to move on fellas. Minus getting blown out by Vandy it ain’t happening....and even then it might not

And by the looks of things, getting blown out by Vandy is a real possibility

 

[vol81]

No matter how much you keyboard warriors rant, rave, wail, rinse spin and repeat it ain’t happening this year. No chance. Nada. Find something else to put your time energy and devotion into if you want to make a cake

In today's game either you have a QB or you don't. We don't. I keep thinking that Cheney just did not forget how to call offense and coach QBs overnight. Now maybe Pruitt is micromanaging him, but he can only do so much with JG. Now I am pretty sure they knew all this last year what JG was, so I do fault Pruitt for not trying better to get a transfer in but it looks like they put all their eggs in the JT Daniels, and perhaps COVID impacted the ability to get transfers. Not holding on to Penix was a blunder though. I am assuming Helton wanted him and Pruitt wanted a pocket passer at the time??? However hindsight was 20/20 and Pruitt probably figured JG was "fixable". I am saying all this to just say we have to wait and see what Pruitt does with HB the rest of the way and what this offense looks like with HB having a full (semi-normal) offseason before we can say Pruitt has to be fired. Now if this team goes out loses to Vandy, all bets are off. Looking forward, our schedule next year has 3 winnable OOC games, so if we finish 5-7 next year (barring major injuries) then cut Pruitt and the rest of the staff a check.
