Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[C-town Vol]

I can't shake the idea that we're gonna hire Gus Malzahn.

I know a good % on VN find this thought underwhelming, but I would be satisfied. A guy who has won more games during his tenure than the last 2-3 Vol coaches combined.

crazy how far Chip Kelly has fallen...

Folks, the great QB conversation of 2020 was so 1-month ago. We have bigger fish to fry. Get with the times. Put down that flip phone and get an iPhone. Trade in your Folgers for a cuban. Stop tight rolling your jeans and teasing your hair. It’s a new day.

I would like to nominate this for post of the day.

Lovie Part Deaux.

Imagine the flyer miles Lovie has by now. Free miles for life.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

We want the smoke as they say

Yes sir! I just don't think anyone (even ones with inside info) have anything to be had. The rumors will be rampant after the game until tomorrow. Gonna be a fun couple of days. Lol

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

Still listening to this guy? Smh

Don't be so hard on the beaver.

Curious to see if the defense looks different.

Last search, Chip Kelly would have been top 3 for virtually every fan here. Amazing how things change

Maybe I’m wrong and there was an update to the update, but their AD came out and called Football Scoop a bunch of liars. He said pretty emphatically CK would be back next year.

Sorry if I missed something else.

 

[Dooby15]

Curious to see if the defense looks different.

Me as well. I’ve wondered if he’s been calling the plays anyway.

What is this "football" team you're referring to? This basketball team is freaking amazing. It's the best group of talent in Vol history.

Not quite ready to crown them as the Ernie and Bernie show was amazing. Do believe it is the best talent 1-12 and ready to see how they progress

 

[Weezer]

I feel like Tennessee football should come with a Surgeon General's warning. May cause nausea, upset stomach, headaches, rapid heartbeat, feelings of depression, angry outbursts, ulcers, insomnia......

Yeah, that's what I was saying. It's the best team top to bottom by a mile. They can go very deep on the bench and we have another very talented freshman that we've not seen yet.

 

[gordonr24]

My takeaway, based on LA noting that division is what we need to avoid, is that if a change is made, Billy Napier will be the guy. Freeze will certainly be someone that garners attention, but I think Napier is where we land.

I’m happy with Napier. He’s energetic and offensive minded. He’s sustained at Louisiana and has coached with great coaches. He’s an absolute upgrade over Pruitt, and if Freeze never materializes as a realistic option, Napier is a solid option and someone that would take our job.

Bernard King. That is all.

 

[Ron Swanson]

I might've missed it, but just saw this from earlier today. De1conley who has connections and knows some people said this earlier.
"Ij got off a call and I was told by a source I trust to the utmost power that if the young money convinces CPF to fire on Sunday CJP will tk a buyout and Freeze will be the new HC. I was also told that the old money wants Billy Napier."

 

[Ryno14]

Out tailgating for the game this morning. Let me tell you....it is a cooooooooold day in Knoxville.

 

[millst987]

Some of these talking heads really want freeze at Auburn. Trying to play keep away from Tennessee?

 

[C-town Vol]

What this team has, that will travel, is ELITE defense. Couple that with 2-3 guys that can iso and get a bucket if things big down...that’s the makings of a dominant conference season and a DEEP run.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

You all remember when Clausen graduated, and Randy Sanders spent that spring getting Ainge and Schaeffer the playbook and going over it with them? I believe he event flew out to OR and FL a few times.

Say what you want about ol’ Randy, but I bet in a non-COVID situation he’s driving down to Marietta to get that kid ready to take snaps from day one.

I think coaches dedicated to winning find ways to do that.

 

[pierce60]

You just practicing for later???

And thanks for your answer on why you actually want Freeze. It’s more thought out than just “he beat Saban”.

 

[MrVolton]

Florida desperately wanted to hire him

Imagine if they had hired Kelly and we landed Mullen. Typical UT vs Florida: they have to settle for their 3rd choice, and as a result, they come out smelling like a rose and we come out smelling like $6¡7.

 

[butchna]

Y’all all upset at Pruitt. Hell Jesus himself couldn’t have won with JG at the helm.

If Jesus was as stubborn in throwing him out there?

 

[Volator]

Bernard King. That is all.

Yep. Vols came to St Pete for a holiday tournament in BK’s freshman year and first chance to see him live. The crowd was ohing and awhing during the games. Never seen anything like him.

 

[ACvol3]

He’s REALLY bad
Poor guy is lost

He’s not lost when it comes to in-game decisions the way Dooley and Jones seemed to be. Pruitt has a problem with managing the big picture stuff. He’s done fairly well with keeping players eligible though

 

[MrVolton]

I’m happy with Napier. He’s energetic and offensive minded. He’s sustained at Louisiana and has coached with great coaches. He’s an absolute upgrade over Pruitt, and if Freeze never materializes as a realistic option, Napier is a solid option and someone that would take our job.

Napier would be an upgrade, and I’d be pretty happy, but you would think there would still be quite a few good names on the list between Freeze and Napier that we could land.
