Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

20% he gone. Our university doesn't care enough about winning. He won't be fired until Nov. 22

I thought you were pretty firm he was gonna get shown the door? If so, what changed for you?

No, im firm on I want him shown the door. I never thought the university had the balls to do it.
This year revenue is way down, next year revenue will most likely be down as well. So it will be at least the 23 season before Pruitt hurts the bottom line imo. 6-6 should never be good enough, but ive thought that would get him year 5. Then our Sec West opp is LSU in 22 who will always be talented, who knows if ED will be there or not, so I think year 5 Pruitt is once again looking at 6 or 7 wins max. Thats why I say Nov of 22. They'll trot out a new coach once the stadium is full and try to bring up the revenue stream with hope, right now it doesn't matter because they're going to lose money either way.

Has anyone at UT came out and said JP will be back next year? YW

I haven't heard anyone in the past couple of weeks say a word. Which makes me think CP is gone.

Answer this for me. I own a decent amount of Pfizer stock and I assumed the stock would get a big boost with this vaccine but hasn’t happened

Why?

Maybe because the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are better. The Pfizer vaccine has to be stored in ultra-cold temperatures, and I think the Moderna vaccine might help more if you happen to get the virus anyway. It will be easier to distribute Moderna due to handling requirements, and now Moderna is going to be available within days. So, there will be direct competition.

As for J & J, you only need one shot for their vaccine.

Edit: I would take any of them if offered. So, don't get me wrong. They should all be great!

I like JP but the silence of the people in charge is deafening. We are either in trouble with the NCAA or he is gone... or both

 

[NoogaVol96]

What if we offer freeze and he says no? Lol

 

[i2amavol]

I’m torn on if I want to be wrong In thinking he’s coming back. I doubt he can turn this thing around. Maybe a 1/5 shot

But it he gets fired the players love him
And I think the roster gets hammered with a mass exodus.

Likely worth it I guess

I think if they can quickly hire someone with proven experience at a high level most players would change their mind and stay. It is when you fire your coach, and hire a McGoogle replacement that we could have that mass exodus...Or we might have it if we keep our coach too.

 

[SpringBokVol]

This is wild

Kids gonna be good. Massive expectations to live up to. Don’t envy him. But he will have all the resources.

The amount of really bad losses is hard to overlook, and I try not to get too caught up in that. At some point getting steamrolled has to play a factor.
At Tennessee you have to play teams at the top of college ball every year, and in some years you get a +1.
I think about Butch’s game in Norman often. The sealed door of the curse was so damn close to busting open.
Just get the right guy and the extra hour and a half from Atlanta compared to auburn is meaningless.

You must be new around here

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Rumors Darnell Wright might hit transfer portal. Hope not. He’ll be great in Freeze’s system

So Wright is transferring to Liberty?

Tiger has endless lessons to teach him. Hope it pays off for him.
The mannerisms are uncanny and awesome at the same time.

Its happening.

My favorite thing about the vague emojis, whether on the forums or on Twitter, is posting emojis in threes.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Its happening.

We hope

 

[BigSteve09]

Percent chance that Pruitt is fired by 5 PM Monday?

I'm going to say 75% chance, but I'm Jon Snow

3%

LMAO!
If youve ever been to central Florida you’ve grown to hate I-4 and it’s constant construction

 

[pismonque]

Like Feckull

Leku Feckill?

lol when I posted that I specifically thought that if someone else had posted it I would do exactly what you smartasses did.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

@greazy1722 im no genius but if I was a betting man your nephew ends up at Arkansas State amirite?

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Lane to Auburn would be good for us. Keeps us from having to play against his offense next year and I think he’d be a huge thorn in Kirbys side.

I’d kill to have him come here, but since that’ll never happen - I’m good with him terrorizing our rivals.

Why would he do that

 

[SweetasSoda]

Have you seen the contracts our administration writes for coaches? Yeah I'd say there will be a line formed outside the Anderson facility. We make millionaires here at TN every year!

Shut it down and turn the lights out



or



call Lane

According to BH in his war room tonight. Mims, Green, Ingram-Dawkins all were silents at one point. That stings a lot.
