Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[UTK]

Muschamp just had a classic meltdown

Edit: Still melting down

His job is probably literally on the line tonight. We better hope South Carolina wins lol

By now he should know he's toast no matter what and be happy that he's about to get a second huge unearned SEC buyout

If Pruitt is canned and the administration decides to go safe and relatively cheap again what about Chip Long? I know we've discussed him ad nauseum for the OC position but looking at his resume he is just as qualified as Pruitt was when hired. Also known as a great recruiter. I know some are gonna feel it off the wall and a desperation hire but with offensive head coaches seeming to be the new trend in college and the pros I believe he could be an intriguing option.

It's definitely hard to do this year.

I’m kinda hoping we get another bye week instead of playing Florida
That’s going to be awful

Nah, maybe just maybe another blow out loss to our rivals is what its going to take.

To save somebody else's job who makes less than me? Easy.

Absolutely if it meant saving my secretary’s job. Especially if I was making high 6-figures or more.

I did this year, so that my staff still got paid...

Good for y’all being in a higher up position with secretary’s and staff and sacrificing for them. I’m a new grad fresh in the workforce.... my boss could take the voluntary pay cut and shove it

Ian brook is that dude! I’m amazed watching him play...he is cool as a cucumber in the pocket.wow

ND fans hated him just three weeks ago. They believed he was their weak spot.

 

[millst987]

I’m sitting here thinking “what in the actual F is Pruitt trying to put on the field each Saturday?” I literally have no clue what our actual game plan is on either side of the ball.

 

[wuwh_08]

I believe in CJP. However everyone talking about Freeze. I think Luke Fickell is the way to go if we move on from CJP.

He was nudged out according to ND fans. Players did not like him.

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

You’re not wrong (they’re prob the B1G team I root for when they’re playing all other B1G teams), but their skill players who start are all pretty much either composite 4* or 247 4*.

Not sure about the OL but they develop them so well I don’t think star ratings even matter.

Their defense on the other hand, from what I can tell, is loaded with 3*.

But I agree they consistently do more with less.

And he’ll wind up on an SEC staff shortly after. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s reunited with Saban for the first time since his LSU days.

Oregon-Washington State looks like a damn Christmas tree exploded my TV screen.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

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.

The University of Tennessee is a business. Period. We are all just spectators.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Actually they weren’t. They have 8 conference championships since joining the Big South around 2002. They’ve transitioned to FBS now, and I was told their football facilities are unbelievable for a program of its stature. Western Carolina is still FCS, and the record of their current coach is 32-60.

Ok. I never cared about watching them until the last couple of weeks. I'm in the "just keep Pruitt, unless you can get Freeze this year" camp. Normally a QB's stat line from Liberty University wouldn't get my attention but our 5th year QB sucks and it's fun to imagine a proven SEC head coach, for example Hugh Freeze, here with Bailey and the freshmen receivers. I know it's weird to some people for others to be hopeful like that.

*To answer your original question, no I didn't get to watch the whole Liberty game. We had a B-day party for my 16 year old this afternoon. They were up 21-7 when we left.

**I also missed the Big Orange play today. That probably sounds a little weird to some people in here too.

I've read that as well. Could've been similar to the Dave Lawson situation under Butch. Good coach who may have expected more than the players were willing to deal with.

He’s still the HC in waiting in Austin, right...?

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

If I’m AD I’m forcing Freeze or Meyer to take restraining orders out against me.

If that happens I’m going to get real friendly with Fickell or Campbell.

Please tell me we didn’t actually tell Sam Howell to look elsewhere...

That’s basically what Bama did with Saban
They refused to take no

Careful. You may get called out over this.

And with that attitude, you'd be the first I laid off.
