Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[825VOL]

Unless Freeze is a done deal, you do not fire JP this season. Too much money to spend without Knowing you have who you want to replace him. You can’t ask boosters to put up that kind of money for another up-and-coming coach or coordinator. If they do decide to go find a new coach, please get the contract right. Make it incentive based and stop cowering to the damn agent.

 

[Ron Swanson]

And fans are prophesizing the guaranteed success of a coach that never won an SEC championship.... Maybe Hugh Freeze comes in and lights it up, but maybe he doesn't. I'm not all in on Freeze like most. I don't see him as a guarantee. I don't see any truly proven coach willing or wanting to come be our coach. That doesn't mean I'm all for Pruitt, but the next hire, even Freeze, will be a risk. But I also firmly believe the university will keep Pruitt another year, and nothing fans say or do will change that.

If Freeze was hired and didn’t do well, fire him too. Bama hired and fired 6 coaches in like 15 years before they got Saban. UF fires guys after 3 years all the time. They care about winning. UT cares about filling Neyland. Big difference.

 

[Weezer]

Don’t take no for answer. $ talks. The truth is we could get Urban Meyer if we paid him enough. But UT doesn’t do that. They shop in the bargain bin. And why do they do that? Because our fanbase is so loyal they always show up in new gear, buying hot dogs, and filling Neyland every Saturday. That’s why. If the fans stopped spending money on this garbage product the admin and boosters would fix the problem.

You're smoking some of @TrippieRedd 's good **** if you think we could ever get Urban Meyer.

2020 - 2018 = 2 years.

You might have been on VN for 10 yrs but you've only been @Fun coupon VOL for 2 years. I've liked a lot of your posts but @SLICKYINC got you. Don't come after me for laughing about it.

Who'd you use to be?

There was some BurningOrange guy who posted at 2 AM every day and hated AtlantaVol...he and I made good friends right away!

 

[KB5252]

I use to spend most of my days(college) in the end zone with some other characters.

So you have different accounts for different sections of the forum?

 

[butchna]

Okay. Then Chip Kelly. Either way. They saw the opportunity to hire a guy that they believed was a great coach and they fired Mac because they knew he would never win a ship there. What's the difference?

They gained no advantage with Kelly, Frost and Mullen by doing so. I can see the cutting bait when you know part, but there was no tactical superiority. They had to wait.

 

[Batman1948]

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

Thank you. He and a bunch more need to hear that.

 

[bignewt]

Well you're not Newt, he has a different alter. Give me a hint.

He’s being ridiculous. Meyer doesn’t go into non-loaded situations for money. He’ll get paid the same anywhere.

Good Read... We need some luck!

Different Newt.

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

If you were a recent UT player, you must have played somewhere on the defense.

Not sure if serious.

Again, the timing of the firing mid season isn't the issue. It is that they fired Mac in year 3, coming off of back to back east titles, because they knew he wasn't the guy and that they could make a better hire. We know that Pruitt isn't the guy. He isn't ready yet. This isn't a question anymore. We also know that there is a guy who would take the job who is proven in the conference. He is a winner. We could have him. We need to make a move and get him.

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

I’m pretty sure everyone had an alter back in the day.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I guess all I'm saying is 60% winning wasn't good enough for most of ya'll when Mullen was the play, but now you're sold that it is with Hugh? Mullen's success was also not tarnished with NCAA violations that forfeited most games in 4 of the 5 seasons Hugh was at Ole Miss.

Is he the best candidate to go after if we fire Pruitt? Absolutely, do it in a heartbeat.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Maybe it’s time for our boosters to do the same thing. Pruitt is toast, AV, cut him loose and go get Freeze. Stop screwing around. - VN

Bump in case @Atlanta VOL missed it!

This x1000000000!!!

Come on, heavy hitting boosters… Flash your money around and go get Freeze!

 

[SLICKYINC]

Thank you. He and a bunch more need to hear that.

While some of us aren’t able to contribute in the same way others are. We do spend money on this program in some way, shape or form. From tickets to gear, memorabilia and everything in between. The what have you done for this university crowd piss me off with that holier than thou mentality.

 

[drvenner]

Still. Would you not agree that there is a better chance of hiring Freeze if we went 2-8 or 3-7? It's a shi* situation but that's what needs to happen.

I just can't hope for that.

 

[Weezer]

He’s being ridiculous. Meyer doesn’t go into non-loaded situations for money. He’ll get paid the same anywhere.

I could easily see Meyer going to Southern Cal. I don't think they currently have the built in talent you speak of, but it wouldn't be hard for them to get it IMO. When USC gets cranking, it's hard to steal those west coast players away.

 

[volatil]

The fact we are still here should account for something
