Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Smokeytom]

What the hell have you done for the program other than bitch?

 

[Weezer]

8-11 wins a year keeps Neyland full, donations high, and everyone successful. And that is even without ever winning a national championship. I don’t understand why it’s hard to get a coach who can do that and see how well this University does. Shoot, we made money with some of the worst coaches in our history. Imagine what we will make when we win. Fire Pruitt, Hire Freeze, Neyland is full, $$$ is flowing and all is good.

Unless Freeze fails.

 

[drvenner]

I don’t ever root for UT to lose, but if it gets Pruitt fired to save our program, I hope we lose by 100.

don't ever, yet you hope we do. All righty then.

I am not conflicted. I always want to win. But, Pruitt has to go. This one is too far gone to revive.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

It is so incredibly ironic that the same people who refused to take a paycut to help the program also goaded players into playing through COVID related fear and doubt because opting out would have hurt the program.

They're hypocrites and they need to be dealt with.

I think we should just fire the entire staff, including the head coach, and start over. I know that is a chilling idea, but ICY a great option out there.

People like him cling to the one post that makes AV and other helpful folks look wrong. It validates them in some way. They tend to ignore all of the other ones that were proven to be correct and especially those that do not fit their personal agendas.

Hey that’s fine, keep that same energy. When we fire Pruitt next year and hire a potato again, we will be right back here, and you’ll say the same thing after we go 0-12 for the first time ever.

Just heard on ESPNU radio:

Tennessee has never lost 5 games in a row by 10+ points. That is in jeopardy Saturday.

And just when we think that things cannot get worse and that we cannot break any more of the bad records, this happens.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Nope. Always root to win. Just saying if we lose by 100 and it got Pruitt fired, I would be over the loss real fast.

The probability of it happening is just about nil, but if Pruitt somehow won out this season, including a victory over UF, I'd be back on board. At least for another season. I mean, he's gonna get another season, no matter what, because of the university and Fulmer. I've been adamant about that point. UT doesn't care what the fans want. Pruitt will not be fired this season. But if he somehow won out, I'd be excited for next season all over again.

Eh, agreed to disagree on some areas - especially on any positive results the rest of the way. You can do good things in a moment of desperation but not consistently perform that way in the future.

I do agree with you though that we won’t be looking for a new HC even though I think it’s the right move. Only way I see us remotely making a move is if we get absolutely trounced (21+) the rest of the way AND lose to Vandy (even by a small margin).

I’ve been on this board 10+ years. First time I ever responded to AV was two months ago.

Get out of here with that weak crap.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Started out as a list about '80's movies. Sling Blade is late '90's.

IIRC, it started out as a top 10 movie list last night between @bignewt and @Bassmaster_Vol .

No guidelines were set

 

[volatil]

What the hell have you done for the program other than bitch?

Damn

But seriously... I change my shirt when we are losing. Boom you’re welcome (except for the past 15 years the whole shirt thing doesn’t work and my family thinks I’m crazy)

 

[drvenner]

I might. The difference between you and me is that I forget what I said because I am old and you forget because of weed.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Unless Freeze fails.

Lol. Man, you love you some Pruitt. Once he is fired, I hope you eat some crow. He’s not a good head coach. He is a great DC. There is a big difference.

 

[drvenner]

Nope. Always root to win. Just saying if we lose by 100 and it got Pruitt fired, I would be over the loss real fast.

Freeze does sound like an awesome consolation prize.

I thought it started out as a list of movies and then became a list of 80’s movies.

LOL, I have been on here just as long. You don't like what I say, do what you gotta do.

Nice joke

So how does Pruitt go without losing? He won't. So he needs to lose because we need Freeze. It's that simple.

Last coaching search we didn't have a PROVEN SEC coach WHO BEATS BAMA asking to come in. Now we do.

 

[drvenner]

Nice joke

Like our football coach, amirite?

 

[butchna]

I would kill to win 10 games a year and have a chance to win it all every year. That's all anyone's asking for. Freeze brings that.

But we didn’t have a chance to win it every year...that’s recent day fan fiction. Bama, Florida or UGA always had Majors or Fulmer’s number at one point or another and that included Cut and Chavis being outmaneuvered. Fan sentiment was that we were never going to be quite good enough. We just didn’t have the internet to broadcast our lackings. I’m sure if we had, there would have been nostalgia for the Neyland years in unlimited threads. Miami was nothing until Schnellenberger hit that formula and a real dynasty erupted. They almost dissolved their program and almost again in response to the loss of control due to their success. You’re never doomed. Do it right and repeat as necessary and we’ll win. On the Freeze note, I agree. He would be the first HC to give us superior X’s and O’s advantage since Dickey...unless you’re a Kiffin sycophant.

What’s your other handle?

Just making a point. Reading comprehension

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Dang right! Then we can stop talking about movies in the middle of the season because we won’t be checked out!

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

What’s your other handle?

Can’t do that.

 

[Aesius]

Unless I missed it, I can’t believe Sling Blade isn’t on anyone’s list.

One of the best movies about life in the South. Accents are actually accurate and people don't sound like Foghorn Leghorn or Gone with the Wind Civil War generals.
