Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[headhunter15]

Wes Rucker is such a baby. This guy whines more than he writes.

Thankful I don’t see his takes. He’s been blocked on Twitter for years.

 

[Jimmy Football]

I think you are right. Too much to overcome. And it is the right thing to do.

However, I don’t have a lot of confidence that we will hire a better coach.

I don’t either. We’re obviously just as much of a mess now as we were post-Schiano.

 

[JMSqb11]

But is he wrong here?

Is Tennessee a toxic place? Of course it is. But he’s trying to take a stance of no being apart of it. Media is big reason it’s like this. I honestly don’t know how he keeps his job as media person this long.

Would everyone be ok with Brohm this time around? Seems to have bottomed out at Purdue. Knows QBs.

Heck no, bring me Gus if it’s someone who is on his way out.

 

[White Bread]

When asked if Freeze would get an interview:

“Too early to really say for sure. I’m trying to figure out who is going to be running this search. He’s got to be officially fired first but those conversations are going on as we type”

Bob_Vols

He also mentioned Haslam liking Malzahn, but that he heard it from someone he doesn’t really trust.

Tennessee needs to at least attempt to with Freeze.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Heck no, bring me Gus if it’s someone who is on his way out.

He would instantly be the best coach in the SEC East.

Freeze
Gus
Campbell

Is that his name on there? I cant find him.

Freeze ain’t going anywhere until the Tennessee job is over with. There is zero reason to rush with hiring Freeze

I think you are right. Too much to overcome. And it is the right thing to do.

However, I don’t have a lot of confidence that we will hire a better coach.

We will hire a better coach simply because Pruitt so poorly managed the program and his talent.

I don’t think we’re hiring Freeze or Gus or Campell or whichever all star people are obsessing over, but I think we’re going to get a coach with a solid head coaching record.

 

[MrVolton]

Marrone 25-25 at Syracuse. Has ties to Tennessee. Coached here. Married to daughter of former coach of MTSU Boots Donnelly.

O’Brien 15-9 Penn St. I got nothing

Syracuse was the worst team in their conference foe like 5 years before he got there and he won a conference championship with them in year 4.

O’Brien took over following THE worst scandal in college football history.

Matt Campbell is like 34-28 at Iowa St. but most people agree that he would be a great hire.

 

[VolInDayton]

Could we hire Kendall Briles and have him bring his dad as OC?

 

[Jimmy Football]

Tennessee needs to at least attempt to with Freeze.

If we try to hire Freeze, we’ll succeed. That guy is dying to get this job. He’s the only hire that we’d have even a tiny amount of leverage with.

 

[MarcoVol]

Najee Harris is pretty good at this football stuff

 

[Batman1948]

“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.”

Bob_Vols on 247

Has anyone seen Peyton around Knoxville or in the complex today?

 

[BruinVol]

Our next head coach just made an ignorant ass play call

I’ll never understand calling a QB sneak where the QB tries to reach the ball across the goal line ON FIRST DOWN. Dumb

 

[Weezer]

because they are overpaid pre madonnas and he is a no nonsense bs guy. I am sure Billichek, Parcells are just loved by all. No super bowls fir him but when he became gm it went south

They're prima donnas, too.

 

[Memphisvol87]

Damning for the entire staff? Including Tee and Jay?

I mean honestly was there anything about the play or any position this year you really thought “ damn thats elite” ?

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

[UTProf]

Was thinking this as well. Now I’m not so sure they go with Freeze now.

If they don't care about winning and are scared of the NCAA I'd rather keep Pruitt and let them enjoy his lovely company while we lose. At least that way they will suffer with us.

 

[White Bread]

Is that his name on there? I cant find him.

100%

 

[Catbone]

No more projects.

Gotta see it to believe it tbh

 

[RikidyBones]

Florida's defense is doo doo.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

He would instantly be the best coach in the SEC East.

Freeze
Gus
Campbell

Replace Campbell with Kiffin and bump Gus to the bottom and that should be your list. Your.Only.List. I mean if they are serious about winning big in the SEC.

It's absolutely hilarious, Rucker, a member of the "media", preaching at people on this particular topic...

**** him and the horse he rode in on...
