Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Weezer]

“He’s done. I see no way he returns at this point. Feeling around the complex is very gloom. Nothing official obviously but with several important people in town this weekend and the compliance issues being released right before kickoff, it’s not looking good for Pruitt.”

“Hearing Peyton Manning is a major player here along with Randy Boyd. There’s a reason Peyton has been at the last two home games.”

On violations-
“I’m told it’s damning for Pruitt and staff. The feeling is that the NCAA takes it easier on programs when that coach is removed. History has shown that.”

Damning for the entire staff? Including Tee and Jay?

 

[MarcoVol]

What about the HC of Northwestern? Seems to have turned them around

Will never leave. Played for NW. He’s a lifer.

Didn’t say, but I’d assume he was saying as a whole, they’re all done.

 

[BeecherVol]

I’m aware.

But that doesn’t make things clearer - a lot of power people want different things.

Outside Kiffin,
Which of the last 3 hires (since Fulmer) were in the picture when the job came open.

Pruitt has done enough to get fired. But the new found confidence in those that will be involved in replacing him revolves around nothing but hope.

Its not hard to see why we continue to end up back at the same spot. Unless some major things change, we ll be having the same conversation in 2023 or 24.

All the insiders are saying the same thing! It’s happening!!!!

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Randy Boyd to Pruitt when he gets back to Knoxville.

 

[PYSCHO]

These people don't want Steele

The one thing I will say about Kiffin (he did it wrong leaving agreed) is Tennessee has had zero swag, edge or anything else since him. At least we were in every game and we had some grit to us. We do not have any of that now or since. Its like the players are not having fun and the mentality of getting behind is its over and it shows badly. Now there has been a couple of games over the years but rarely if ever.

Who is Bob_Vols?

 

[volatil]

Well known d*ckhead???

Well honestly you can say that about 99% of coaches. I have issues with recruiting for those guys. Maybe I’m over thinking it.

Ainsley and Jay were out today reportedly for Covid reasons. Maybe AV’s post last night about it would be interesting to here the official reasons given today plays into this. Just a guess on my part.

 

[Weezer]

No. Apparently he is attending his grandfather’s funeral.

Not trying to be cold or disrespect the dead, but just had a flash of Ferris Bueller where they fake Sloane's, was it her Grandma's death? Anyway, just pictured Principal Rooney saying, "Why don't you roll her old bones down here?"

Neither here nor there.

Dobbs and Kamara brought some style to the team. Sutton and Barnett too on defense IMO.

 

[JCVol00]

I feel like Pruitt isnt gonna get fired til Monday or Tuesday, since the funeral is tomorrow

Jay tweeted something today about COVID. Feeling I get is those two are legit

"Ferris Bueller's on line 2!"

Who is Bob_Vols?

Their version of AV and LA

 

[m1al]

If nothing else happened this year and the in field product was still 3-7 he would be back 100%

Maybe. Seems like plenty (except Phil) wanted him gone and not just talking about fans. That said, if they wanted him gone, didn't have the balls to do it on recorad alone and are using the "violations" to "appear" justified, that's a little on the sleazy side IMO...

 

[Batman1948]

Freeze isn’t the only good coach we can offer the job too. Hell there are a few great coaches we can go after that are better than Freeze

Not according to the masses----it's Freeze or I'm out with that crowd

Love that movie!

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

So Is Pruitt getting fired tomorrow or not?

IDK - Did someone state his grandfather passed and the funeral is tomorrow? It would be a harsh thing to do if true.

 

[JMSqb11]

I feel like Pruitt isnt gonna get fired til Monday or Tuesday, since the funeral is tomorrow

I hope that would be the case. There’s no good way to do it but I would hope we wouldn’t fire the guy tonight before he goes to his granddad’s funeral. Fire the guy on Monday.

 

[Orange Studs]

Th
The guy Butch beat by 40?

No the guy that was in the Championship Game today
