Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Batman1948]

My hope now is that Fulmer keeps the whole staff to possibly insure this recruiting class doesn't fall apart and the day after early signing day Pruitt is fired. That's all I got.

Even if they did that, the recruiting class could still get out of their signed letter because of the coaching change.

 

[MetalVolunteer]

If we made a change this year would fulmer be making the hire in your opinion?

Yes I think so. Coach has done a lot regarding mending fences within the program. But I think it was mentioned previously that we aren’t all on the same page when it comes to having a winning mindset.

And until the entire System wants to win and win big, this is where we will be. Coach wants to Win Big, that’s why we have shelled out the money we have for the coaches we have. It goes above Phil’s head and it’s been that way for 10-15 years now.

 

[UTSuave’]

you hear that JARRETT BUDDY!?...YOURE A PREDICTABLE JOKE! And you’re irrelevant ass is referred to as “One of them qb’s”

 

[volatil]

Never keep a coach or rush a hire for one recruiting class.

We have been over this

 

[volsagain]

Bailey should start. The only thing that concerns me at all with Bailey is his throwing motion. His throws look like they have no zip, and it seems like they hang up in the air forever and enough to be picked off easily

Trask or Jones neither have a really strong arm . It's timing and placement sure it helps to have a strong arm but if you don't know when to throw and accuracy it doesn't help.

Phil Carries a big stick around here....No?

Biggest thing in our favor, in my opinion, is that Boyd and Fulmer have a very good relationship. The Barnes negotiations are the perfect indication of that, as well as the money being spent on football support staff. And as you know, Boyd is tight with the Haslams.

Phil will get to make this hire.

Let’s hope Phil and Freeze are good buddies and Hubbs gets in Phil’s ear about him wanting the job!...if Phil would like to have a tennessee guy who VIEWS this job as his “Dream Job” when nobody eles would touch this place then look no further than Hugh ******* Freeze...

 

[KPT_VFL]

I know it was touched on in the game thread, and maybe here? I skipped quite a bit in lieu of raising my BP this morning.
Wtf up with JG pouting when HB drove down and scored?! Zero excitement in his face, and then the Drive-By half ass fist bump.
That pissed me off more than anything last night!

A man knows when he is defeated.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Good morning Vol Nation.

For what it’s worth, we had a couple VFLS that backed JP up until yesterday. They thought he needed more time to right the ship but it’s obvious that we have talent and they just aren’t being put in a situation to win.

It’s sad how low our program has fallen.

So here’s to wishing all of you and your families a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Hugh Freeze.

I cannot fathom how anyone at UT would not want to win big. Are there just people in charge that accept mediocrity or are they just hyper focused on other things such as a academics or other sports? Unbelievably frustrating either way.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Yep - last night was the end.

The ensuing losses will only make it more clear to the few that are still on the fence.

They don’t want to do it - but Pruitt will not be the coach here in 2021.

Hugh Freeze!!!!

Not sure what you are watching. I played the position. He's got a cannon and when he needs to, he has touch. Not sure why you don't think he throws hard because that is just wrong.

 

[Vols4us]

Y’all realize how close we are to being winless?

Muffed punt and wrong starting QB for Missouri close

Exactly - a point I made awhile back. We were lucky to win those. Had Mizzou started the right QB in their first game, they probably would have won. Same with SC with the muffed punt. This team could be 0-7. But Jeremy is still the HC and JG is still his starter. I'm totally disgusted with the whole thing.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Why tf is Hugh Freeze not being finalized?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Hugh Freeze!!!!

Has to be. Surely we can’t screw this up, right?

 

[Jackcrevol]

Good to hear. Up until yesterday, I agreed with all that. What I saw on the field. Coaching to not win, Jarrett not knowing where to go with the ball and just falling down, same errors week to week...basically just uncompetitive, bad football.

When he loses the positive people, its over.

 

[Ron Swanson]

How much rope do you think he has?

I just don't see him being fired this year.

I think it’s obvious to everyone he’s not the guy. He’s in way over his head. And how he’s managing the QB situation makes it look like he wants to be fired. He’s a Defensive specialist and our D is worse than it’s been in a long time. And after we lose the rest of our games, even if we somehow beat Vandy which I doubt, UT will be forced to make a change. IMO

 

[tn88volfan]

Anyone else see the body language of our TE’s when HB came in and started throwing their way? They approved.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Feels like we will bass. If I’m being honest. We SHOULD hire him but I put it at only a 10% chance we do.

They had more targets in 4 minutes than they did all season.

 

[jave36]

At 4 minutes with Bailey, they were blitzing and moving defense and disguising coverages. They threw a lot at him.

Eh, there were some super soft coverages on wr. Didn't say they weren't blitzing, but they weren't in the same mindset as the first half.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

As others have mentioned, if we were Florida, ga, Bama, or AU, Freeze would be the guy 100%. It would already be in the works

This right here. Dudes need to look at the other games he’s played in. Can’t remember if it was Kentucky or Arkansas but there was one ball that he put the heat on to get it inside a window..... it looked like it was fired out of a cannon
