Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

Harbaugh making like 8 million a year, crazy.

 

["It's Time"]

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.

This is a good point and I’ll take it one step further.

You can’t even compete in today’s college football without a QB. You used to be able to get by with a game manager, not anymore. If your Offense can’t score, you’re screwed.

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 wished I wore the same glasses as you.

I’m not saying this to make myself feel better or condone our record but Kentucky and Arkansas aren’t horrible football teams. Both have coaches that know how to get the most out of what they have.

Goes to show the dump truck theory isn’t a sure thing when it comes to hiring coaches.

But it works more times than not.

I couldn't even imagine being a Michigan fan going through this Harbaugh mess. It's the equivalent of UT getting Gruden. Where in the world do they go from here?

Our coaches are not taking pay cuts

“Tee Martin and running backs coachJay Graham were reportedly the only coaches to agree to the pay cuts. Head Coach Jeremy Pruitt was not asked to take a pay cut because he declined a pay raise for 2020 in a contract extension in September. Phillip Fulmer announced he would take a 15 percent pay cut starting on Nov. 1.“

so yes they are.
The other Tennessee sports have taken cuts also.

He’s their Peyton. When you look at it through those lenses it’s clear why he is still there and making 8 per

This Covid year is weird. Teams we’re not used to seeing be bad are getting runt out tha stadium. Can’t even take this year seriously.

 

[Orangeslice13]

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

It’s easy to spend other people’s fictional money

I like the fight Arky plays with

 

[millst987]

Barry O. is gonna be a HC again soon

 

[Orangeslice13]

I like the fight Arky plays with

Did we even interview Pitman?
I realize Arky is his dream job....

 

[pierce60]

Ye he will. Im not sure Pittman could’ve hired a better DC.

 

[UTK]

I wished I wore the same glasses as you.

Don't think for a second it's going to happen. Just saying there's no excuse for it not to, and that's why it's so unacceptable.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Like I said last night. Wisconsin does more with less. Just a bunch of no name rando football guys coaching up 3*s.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Barry O. is gonna be a HC again soon

Would take him over Pruitt.

 

[millst987]

Would take him over Pruitt.

That’s obvious at this point lol

Muschamp just had a classic meltdown

Coach Boom is back

 

[99Vol]

Ole Miss v USCjr game is interesting. Kiffin has found a way to make every opponent both find an offense and forget about defense...

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Flipping back and forth between Ole Miss/SC UF/Arky and NCSt/FSU. ALL of these teams are far more creative and diverse than UT and it's not even close. Still on the fence with Coach Pruitt but DO SOMETHING to be less predictable.
