Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[KB5252]

Understood . But those are still good options to pursue should it become necessary. Whether or not they are pursued is above my pay grade.

I refuse to get excited about another possible coaching search..... Because the smart money goes on us being disappointed.

Anybody that thought otherwise is mentally deficient. I now doubt JP, but I don't hate him, and I hope he pulls a good year out of his butt next year.

Hopefully there’s one in there...maybe stuck behind a kidney?

In year 4. What a joke.

Its honestly what I expect from this staff. Thats why I want Pruitt gone now. Year 4 should be a 9-10 win season and on the fringe of making it to Atlanta. But here we are.

 

[KB5252]

You still don't get rid of McGhee over Jones.

I'm trying to make sense out of something that just doesn't.

Freeze=season tickets. Pruitt=my recliner

 

[KPT_VFL]

Serious question @Atlanta VOL is the athletic department prepared for the the fan apathy next year? IF Neyland is allowed full capacity I highly doubt you’ll see much interest. Also are they going to regret this decision when we drop an early season game we shouldn’t? Seems like MOST fans see Pruitt as a lame duck and the ones who don’t want him gone yet will want him gone after a mediocre season next year.

It’s pretty obvious JP isn’t long for the job here. Sticking it out one more year will only be more damaging.

Only the way we've played, it absolutely does make sense. I think he left us. I don't believe it was a git.

 

[Catbone]

AP and Hubbs believes JP is back next year because of the timeline with the ESD and games still to be played.

F these clowns. We need 2-8

 

[millst987]

Our administration....
They just don’t get it

 

[SpringBokVol]

Next year is going to be brutal.

 

[TNHopeful505]

Remember what I told you about this class a few weeks back....there will be a lot of change...but most of it will be at our discretion to focus on some immediate neeeds.

Do you still believe Green is a Vol? It seems like he is trending away from us from what the media is saying. Did something happen?

 

[snowvols]

We really need to hire Bo Davis and Tosh Lupoi, need to find a better OL coach and QB coach, and find a way to make the offense more creative.

Since we're not going to fire Pruitt.

I'm not sold that they would kill it here. Everyone does at Bama, but they suck when they leave. Not going to be rolling out 5*s here.

 

[Rishvol]

Dang... Where'd y'all get the time machine? I want to see what next year holds for me too

Occam's razor.

Yes, a 5 game losing streak all by double digits.

Both have succeeded at other schools as well, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[BJWeeks]

Everyone that cares about UT Football wants Pruitt fired and Freeze hired. Fans care about winning and the Athletic department makes no effort anymore.

Apathy has already hit this fan base. The only “excitement” for next year is a new QB. But, we can’t develop, so after week 3 we will want to fire the staff, again.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Thinking about the Fl game next week anyways. How long do guys have to sit out for contact tracing seems like we won't be playing with a full deck, not that it matters much because we would still lose by 30. But im wondering if the HB stuff is because JG will be out. I don't see Pruitt starting him for any other reason.

Exactly. Also it’s wasting a year of Bailey. He will get trash coaching next year and not improve under the current staff.

You will win Tennessee teacher of the year.

Because we've seen this story before.

Pruitt fired, yes. Not necessarily true on Freeze hired. Personally, there are other guys I would approach first, but if Freeze is the best we can do...well, he has to be better than Pruitt.

Who would you go after? Legitimate chance?
