Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[VEKZY]

Pruitt will be retained and people will talk themselves into believing we will be good next year and we will repeat this entire cycle again.

Play Bailey the rest of the year. Dump Chaney after the season, promote Osovet, let him perfect the RPO with Bailey in the offseason. It is the most realistic path and I fully support it.

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

CJP is an idiot. Y’all are letting him pass if he plays HB from here on out? Y’all keep on excepting mediocrity. He should of played him from GA and never looked back.

It was a free year eligibility wise, it wouldn’t have counted against Bailey to play him, he should’ve been receiving meaningful playing time from the start.

Pruitt is terrible. We have all seen how this plays out. Just cut bait while we still have some talent. With the right coach, this could be a very dangerous team next year.

If we wait, talent dries up and we start another full rebuild

Very true, we dominated SC and mizzou game. He should of got snaps

Now convinced that's actually the plan. Churn and burn, get people's hopes up, pay bargain basement head coach salary, let him fail, fire everyone, rinse and repeat.

That would be Pruitt’s “Larry Scott” or “Sal Sunseri” moment. He needs to promote O to QB coach. Rather have Chaney script the gameplans.

What exactly has shown anyone that Chaney is capable of having an innovative, explosive offense, no matter the Qb?


I'll wait...

LETTUCE

 

[bignewt]

Puke all you want, this university is NOT PAYING PRUITT'S BUYOUT!!!!

How can you guys not see that?

Cry and moan for a new coach all you want. It. Is. Not. Happening.

 

[Kingston Vol]

If Pruitt wanted to hire Osovet as OC he would’ve already done it. There’s a reason he’s the TE coach and that position group has been M.I.A. all year.

Until Bailey plays and hits Fant. Its JG not knowing where the damn TE's are...IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD.

JG doesn't throw to the tight end. Bailey did

He didn't do it because he wasn't even on field staff last year. I think we all know we need some excitement on offense, Osovet can do that. Chaney cannot.

Until Bailey doubled their entire season production in one drive

I'll wait...

Nothing much really, but Coach O? Really? In a make or break year? Isn’t Chip Long on staff?

 

[delfonic]

Last thing anyone wants is a QB who is consistently two beats late throwing over the middle.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Yeah, I just don’t see it with Osovet.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I don’t care if our HC is a pink Martian from Neptune. I just want to win some F’n games. I don’t need a good story. I need double digits in the win column. That’s it. That’s all we should care about.

Amen!

 

[I4Jay]

I want to survey the room:
Do y’all really trust Phil Fulmer to make great hires as AD? If so why?
(please give me something more than his love for Tennessee)

Coach O knows how to score points, something you kinda need. Quit being a bitch and swing for the fences! Lightning in a bottle! Lets take this hill!!!!

 

[Kingston Vol]

Let’s be honest, guys, if Pruitt comes back, he’s not changing a damn thing.

A handful of our assistants will move on to greener pastures to protect themselves, we’ll replace them with subpar hires, and we’ll win 4-6 games next season.

 

[bignewt]

Yeah, I just don’t see it with Osovet.

Take off the stupid glasses and do some research...or keep trotting out old white dudes that care more about dessert than being innovative.

No. I think he loves UT but doesn’t equate to making good hires. Is Pruitt and Harper his only two hires? Baseball and Basketball are doing well.
