Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[DustyRockSolid]

My bet is he's at Liberty again next season.

MAYBE Virginia Tech pulls the trigger.

Even if he doesn't end up in the SEC, we won't hire a good coach like fickle or Campbell.

 

[Catbone]

I've been saying that since the beginning, that the university wouldn't fire him this year. But I was assured by a majority of the board that he would be fired this year. They don't care what fans think. It's not a question if he deserves to be fired. It's all about what the university is willing to do. The only people who will sway their minds are the big money boosters, and I'm not entirely convinced UT will even listen to them atm.

Yeah it's the definition of insanity. Why should we expect them to do the smart thing? They haven't been for 15 years. They won't start now. Plus Covid is their perfect excuse.

Satterfied would scare the **** out of me. He's the guy we should hire.

Isn't he 10-10? Or am I thinking of someone else?

 

[SLICKYINC]

Sooo. Things Pruitt needs to improve on heading into next season.

1. Stop playing guys who continually screw over the football team. Play the young guys, you recruited them for a reason.

2. Coach the defense like you would have at Bama, UGA or FSU. Step on the staffs toes if you have too.

3. Fans matter regardless of what your hero thinks. You ain’t him and you ain’t good enough to discount em.

Aight

Satterfield was my joke “this is who we’re gonna end up with and you all know it” candidate in 2017. But he’s on his way to a losing season and recently got blown out by Kentucky so he’d certainly fit with what we’re doing on the Hill.

BRING IN AN OC WITH A SIMPLE PLAYBOOK AND LET HIM DO HIS THING! Stop micromanaging!!!

 

[butchna]

Dabo’s the Joel Osteen of college football coaches

Spiritual guy with skeletons?

 

[InVOLuntary]

I think that argument has to be somewhat out the window because I have yet to see any player development this year. That, combined with an apparent aversion to playing more young guys like HB, makes that argument ridiculously weak.

Well you're weak. Take that!

are you talking about this?

It ain’t the playbook, it’s the player.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Yur*

 

[Catbone]

It ain’t the playbook, it’s the player.

Iirc the playbook is very hard to learn . I think that's on Tee.

Beat his best team. Scares me like Mark Stoops. Good coach...not elite.

Why would he decide to do any of those things when he's been busy proving he will not do them? It's either fire him or watch him systematically tear the program down worse than it already is.

1) The seniors who want to come back, can come back. So he gets to play them again regardless of ability just like he has been doing.
2) He doesn't know how to do it without the talent those programs had. If he did he would have done so already.
3) Laughable. Leopard, spots, and all that.

 

[jakez4ut]

Ya'll crazy if you don't think Dabo would be in the CFP here at UT. He's already recruiting & putting East TN talent in the NFL on the regular.

i didn't say ...never...just that it wouldn't be year in/year out as is the case at Clemson.

 

[tn88volfan]

Nick Saban

Helps us and hurts bama. Win win

End thread

How good would Saban be without the Bama bag$$ game? His players make more than the minimum NFL salaries to go there.

 

[Batman1948]

The big time players will opt out and prepare for the draft.

This has to be true because we've had sooooo many players drafted in the past few years

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

My biggest concern with someone like Chadwell is he's never coached at a big school. Not talking HC, just coached period. Could he adjust to recruiting at a level he's never worked at? Napier has experience at several large, successful schools.

Napier has never been a head coach at a big school either. And he was fired at Clemson as an assistant. UT recruits itself if you are winning. Everyone worries about recruiting, but we pulled in top classes with Dooley and Butch. We would be fine. His offense is dynamic and he has improved every program he has been at. He has Central ranked and I think the game with Liberty May sway some people to like him more.

I wish I had that kind of power. I just know what history has shown us.

 

[engineerVOL]

Dabo sounding arrogant and butthurt over the FSU game cancellation.

 

[Geronimo]

Serious question that may have been answered, but I missed it.

@Atlanta VOL @matts42012 @MetalVolunteer: (or anyone else with knowledge) Why does Haslam (member of a UT NC team and former player) want to hire a coach that is mid level and repeat that process every 2-4 years? How does that benefit his family or the university?

He was good at LSU without the bama bagmen.

Yeah, I specifically said, not talking about HC experience. But Napier has been at Clemson and Bama, two high profile stops. Chadwell has never been at a big time program.

Same reason jerry Jones doesn’t want to get out of the way in Dallas.

Ego, power, control.
