Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Orange Studs]

I just want JG to be gone I think we all be amazed at how much better the team is without him regardless of the coaching staff

Seems like JG has been here for 10 years. I believe it will change the locker room atmosphere for the good.

 

[beneVOLence]

One thing I’ve noticed with HB in his limited PT is that he’s actually making line calls. Whether he’s pointing out the Mike or even hv noticed a potential blitz. I’ve rarely noticed JG doing this.

FYI. I saw Ty Simpson his freshman year in high school calling out the Mike LB and protection to his lineman. I guess that’s what you get from a kid who’s dad is a college football coach.

 

[Kingston Vol]

I don't believe it though, just because they're tied together. I don't see Fulmer firing his guy

They are not tied together. Fulmer has much more sway than that.

 

[BruinVol]

Apparently this is coming from SEC HQ
Not us
Apparently...

That’s why I am not buying this is all from Fulmer protecting bama Jeremy

How is Pruitt being protected?

I actually believe this hurts Pruitt more
He’s gonna lose the next 2 if they are played almost certainly

Fulmer was behind the 8 ball when he had the coaching search dumped in his lap and did what he could with the situation given it was time sensitive. You’re right they aren’t tied together.

I’ll be surprised if AM/TN gets played. There’s no reason for it to happen.

 

[engineerVOL]

Do we even know that this was Fulmer’s choice/move to postpone?

I we get blown out in both I could see him getting canned and Tee or Chaney as interim for Vandy.

 

[millst987]

Honestly, there’s no good reason for us to play another game

Honestly that makes me feel a little better. I feel Fulmer will make a move if his job isn't tied to Pruitt. So then I guess the bigger issue is support and money.

 

[Kingston Vol]

How is Pruitt being protected?

I’m not saying he is. I’m talking about the people who *think* Fulmer is protecting Pruitt from boosters who might want to make a move.

Like I said, I don’t think Fulmer is ready to fire Pruitt today. But I don’t think the majority of the boosters are either. It’s less 50%, but that group is growing.

And my bet is, if we get beat by Florida and A&M the way it looks like we will, that vast majority of decision makers will be on board to pull the trigger.

 

[pierce60]

Other than we only get a certain number of games to watch in our lifetimes and I’ll watch everyone I can no matter how good or bad they are, you’re right there is no reason to play them. I agree.

 

[tnhunter 10]

I’m in for season tickets if we get HF.

I’ll buy T-shirt if we get some scrub

Same

agreed

The thing the op isn’t telling us is how many of our Top players are out:
If it’s only a few then we need to play the game and get a W. Not playing is certainly worse now if we have a bunch Of players out then Fulmer is doing his job by using the system to help his program

Awesome! Because we will get absolutely destroyed by both those teams and I doubt we can beat Vanderbilt, either.

He’s done. Freeze is there. It’s a no brainer. Pruitt coming back next year does nothing. Recruits are abo it to drop like flies. @matts42012 said as much.

 

[Catbone]

If this vandy game does get played.....I really do think JP needs to win it now where if you asked me two weeks ago I didn’t think it would matter. Chatter has been picking up among some disgruntled folks that matter....

Well then we need to lose.

 

[BruinVol]

Nope

cmon man, you honestly believe they'll pull this after last snafu?

I’m sure @Atlanta VOL can speak more to this because I’ve heard the same - but it’s not just the losses. Pruitt’s prickly attitude behind the scenes is not allowing for much grace by the folks that matter.

I used to think that way, then JG happened. My will to watch has been beaten out of me blow by blow.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Exactly. I don’t understand why some people want to act like Fulmer has to be loyal to Pruitt. No one is going to hold that hire against Fulmer given the sh*tshow he was thrown into. If anything Fulmer can look like the savior now by hiring the right guy.

 

[Kingston Vol]

cmon man, you honestly believe they'll pull this after last snafu?

I think it’s definitely trending in that direction.

People will see how far we are from Florida, when in 2017 those programs both made hires off of 4-8 seasons, and they’ll want to start over.
