Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[LA Vol]

What if they were guaranteed to get Freeze? I know the answer, still had to ask.

If Freeze wants to coach in the SEC, he'll probably wait till next year. None of the schools he seems to want are likely to make a move this year.

Thanks!

I think Seth Williams may be out and some of their LBs. I'm not really up on it, either, but I think they're expected to have 10 or more guys still quarantined. I could be wrong.

10?

Sounds like enough to cancel the whole game - Jimbo Fisher

 

[LA Vol]

How tight is Boyd with Fulmer?

They like and respect each other. Both get along well with Donde Plowman.

If they can get some of Saban's test kits, they'll all be cleared in no time.

and in 2021, with three solid cruitin' classes. If Cornbread regresses more. He gone.

Losses arent as bad as lack of competitiveness.

IDT anybody is under any illusion that CJP is a long-termer at UT-- and that includes CJP. And recruiting is what it is. But the other part of that equation is keeping the young players we already have and making them believe UT football can be fun again-- the sooner the better. UT is a miserable place right now. The young guys aren't as jaded and ready to fold as the older guys. They still believe.

Pruitt not wanting to be a long termer here even with success. And you guys wonder why I hate him. I wish we could hire Freeze but no one is listening.

No one ever thought he was a long termer. Just win, all the silly talk goes away.

Gentlemen-- and ladies-- it's been a privilege commiserating with you this week. I'm heading back to CA tomorrow. Auburn's down some key players, so maybe the Vols will scrounge out a win. Go Vols!

safe travels. is VN blacked out in Cali?

Would Boyd overrule Fulmer on a change if Boyd had a big fish on the line with the ok from some big boosters?

Only UT...

Hiring a guy that didn’t want to be here is exactly how this whole mess got started.

I think Boyd/boosters would be the one making the call, regardless.

Yep. To me sounds like he wanted to cut his teeth here for thr Bama job.

Safe travels and glad your back posting.

What has he shown so far to make Bama interested in him being a future HC there?

Good to see you, Jacket.

Just doesn't seem to be an ideal fit long-term. UT needs things he's not great at. And nobody thought UT was his dream job. And that's cool. Doesn't mean it shouldn't be productive for both sides.

Very telling! Farewell friend. Thanks for everything you bring here hope to see you soon!

But we are gonna give him two more years regardless?

 

[Catbone]

One more year regardless imo. Don't even think 2-8 gets him fired because of the ole covid excuse.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Bama knows what kind of DC he is with the talent they'll have. They'll give him a bigger budget and he will have all the recruiting advantages Saban has. If he can get this program to 8 wins ish for a couple years then I think Bama takes a chance on him.

Lmao when we let a coach go 2-8 and 0-9 against our rivals with blowout losses and we don't fire him. Program has given up. COVID isn't an excuse because everyone has dealt with it but Fulmer loves it because it means he gets to pretend there isn't a problem for another 12 months.

 

[gordonr24]

Good news. I like our chances against Auburn with this one, for once.

we dont have the money to move. we're still paying the last choke.

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

So we gonna fire Pruitt this year or next?

Sounds like the same as when we opined what if Alabama came calling two years ago.
