Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[KPT_VFL]

Or imagine it being year 16 and you've won the division 5 times, 2 sec titles and a national title...

Uh wait..

Sounds like we signed Urban Meyer then. Great hire.

Any idea what Phillip thinks of the team or of Pruitt?

SMH at this admin. Freakin clown show.

Can’t really say anything different at this point. Can’t come out and say we’re putting feelers out

This means nothing. If the AD were not “backing” the coach, that would mean he’d already be fired.

He’s going to “back” him all the way up to the press conference announcing a search is underway.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Have you tried resetting DN?

Yes

 

[volatil]

The Ole vote of confidence from the AD...


He Gone

 

[Volfanatic_20]

If Pruitt finishes 2-8, is he the coach in 2021?

I don't know. Some you speak with say there's no way they make a head coaching change. Staff changes yes, but not the head coach. Others say "he better not lose to Vanderbilt".

Freeze won at Briarcrest, Lambuth, Arkansas State, Ole Miss, and Liberty. I’d say that’s a sure thing as it gets

 

[Weezer]

Show me a clean program that wins. Please. Winning cures everything. Hell Dabo can openly tell people to leave the country who talk bad about America and social issues and blame FSU for running scared this weekend and canceling a game. Not a peep.

The key is doing it without getting caught. Freeze didn't do too well at that.

 

[BruinVol]

Would Joe Brady have anyone’s support ??

 

["It's Time"]

You all act like you know who is a sure thing and which coaches would be interested, but I know for a fact it’s much more fluid than anything we understand at the ground level.

I know Tee Martin is a good coach, I know the players love him, I know he cares about this university and I know he won’t embarrass us or tell people he’s not worried because he can get an assistant job at Alabama.

Do I know he’d win big here? No I don’t. But I don’t know that with any of these candidates. Not even y’all’s golden boy Hugh Freeze.

Is Tee at the top of my list of sure fire candidates? No he isn’t. But if he got this job, it would 100000% fill me with a sense of pride and I’d get behind him with everything I’ve got.

The one thing I will say about Tee is this. IMO it would be the first time in 15 years I personally feel the players, alumni, and booster base would be on the same page. They will want him to succeed, not just from a “yea we want win” perspective.

He’s not my choice, but hiring him would do that.

 

[Volfanatic_20]

What’s your opinion of Rev Hughs coaching ability? Escorts aside,is he better than cornbread?

He took Ole Miss to #1 in the country and forced Saban to change his offensive approach to football.

- Hubbs

If nothing else this should get Freeze the job. He made arguably the greatest college coach of all time change his philosophy.

Freeze won at Briarcrest, Lambuth, Arkansas State, Ole Miss, and Liberty. I’d say that’s a sure thing as it gets

It’s a no brainer

 

[KPT_VFL]

Would Joe Brady have anyone’s support ??

Is Joe Burrow coming with him?

 

[Weezer]

RB have done well, but the receivers outside of Keyton not being able to catch have played well.

They've had trouble getting separation most of the season. They haven't been as bad as some, but they've not been great either.

 

[KPT_VFL]

The media is literally answering questions about a coach who doesn’t even coach for UT. Pruitt is cooked and done here. Anyone who can’t see it is blind.

 

[jordan4vols]

If Pruitt finishes 2-8, is he the coach in 2021?


- Hubbs

They would’ve maybe won this weekend. Are they mentally checked out by Vandy after Florida destroys us? Will be an interesting finish.

 

[UTSuave’]

All unknown football schools brought to relevance by one man,recruiting way less talent level and making due generating wins.....

 

[volatil]

The man beat Saban back to back. Routed the heck out of Georgia.

At Ole Miss

 

[Volfanatic_20]

This is a stupid question but any chance Bailey transfers?

Nah he just about to get his moment

I'll believe it when I see it. I don't think he ever starts this year.

 

[Weezer]

He'll get an NFL job IMO. His name is hot in those circles.

 

[Orange Studs]

Hugh Freeze is a good football coach. He is. I won’t dispute what is indisputable.

However, the way this place has turned into Freeze or bust, given what we know about him, what he did at Ole Miss, and how that entire program was built on a house of cards, is pretty unexpected.

At the beginning of the year the conventional wisdom around these parts was that Pruitt was a sure fire division winner at some point soon.

Now everyone is so sure the guy who won double digit games exactly one time at the P5 level, and who did it on the back of the dirtiest type of recruiting you can imagine (which was quickly vacated), is our savior is comical.

I remember how you all spoke about the guy when we were going head to head with him for Drew Richmond, among other recruits.

And the fact that you’ll sell your soul for wins that aren’t even guaranteed is telling.

I am not a Freeze or bust guy. I want to see all the coaches that would be interested in the job.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

HC - Tee
OC - Chaney
RB - Graham
WR - Gattis
OL - Hiestand

DL - Brooks
DC - Steele
Outside LB - Chavis
ILB - Thompson
DB - Robinson

This would not suck, but Tee would be down the board a bit. I would rather him get a shot than coach mcgoogle.

 

[Weezer]

The man beat Saban back to back. Routed the heck out of Georgia.

At Ole Miss

Went 19-21 in the SEC and lost to Vandy twice. He's not a sure thing.

 

[volatil]

I’m a YOU DAMN WELL BETTER GET SERIOUS ABOUT FOOTBALL OR BUST guy
