Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

No. It’s not. University owns it and its why vol network, much like VFL films employees are technically University of Tennessee employees.

Ok, who is right , you or Bruce ?

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Hmmmm. That last sentence is word for word what our insiders have been saying for weeks

This.

 

[drvenner]

Couldn't something that needs to happen happen quickly just once? Our freaking administration will sit on their hands until the fanbase strokes out or checks out. They will wait too long and we will have another five years of this crap with no end in sight. The level of continuous incompetence is mind boggling.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Pruitt is trash. Going to post this Daily.
#GoNDSU

 

[Jimmy Football]

Imo if Pruitt is retained that likely means we were not getting the feedback we wanted and freeze isn't an option.

I’ve said it before, if we can’t get someone better than Pruitt, then we didn’t really try.

Example: unless Auburn hires him, Napier would come here in a heartbeat. I’d say it’s at least 75/25 among the fanbase would rather take a shot with him than stick with Pruitt.

I mean, I understand your logic in the abstract. But this job won’t be as attractive next season after a full offseason of NCAA mess, fan unrest, losing 2 classes of seniors, transfers, and another year of losing. You’ve got to move now and give your next guy a fighting chance.

30-40k next year in Neyland

I think this is a very legit possibility.

 

[UTK]

30-40k next year in Neyland

30-40 K morons

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Lol no pal. You can find kesling, hubbs, kasey finderburg etc at UT staff meetings Bc THEY WORK FOR THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT

I don’t think that is solid confirmation. 3rd parties can be at UT staff meetings. Bruce Wayne worked there so I’m inclined to believe he is right.

Also no one should be downplaying the severity of the possible issues that may arise out of the investigation...

I don't like the sound of that....

 

[TrippieRedd]

Yo no one cares. Program is trash, doesn’t matter

 

[tnhunter 10]

I think this is a very legit possibility.

Do you believe Pruitt is here next season?

 

[TN-POSSUM]

I'm finally catching up for today and this thread is bonkers. Be patient..... you all need to pace yourselves. I think we've only got a few more days left of the JP experiment. Until then, hang on and try to enjoy the ride.

I had never heard much about him either, but after I read up about him, he would be a lot better than half the names that have been thrown around. Troy had never won 10 games in a season in program history, he won 10 games three out of four years there, including a conference championship and a win over LSU.

The SEC is so cut throat so not sure he could handle a job this big. The media, boosters, interviews and other admin duties. Not to mention he must be an elite recruiter and have those around him that can recruit and develop. Maybe he souls be a great hire but I would be concerned at first.

 

[UTProf]

Fulmer almost messed up what we have going with Rick Barnes. Boyd had to come in and save the day and rally the boosters to give him a big contract. Fulmer needs to be sent packing.

Fulmer is a figurehead. I've tried to put that more nicely in the past but it doesn't seem to work so I'll state it bluntly: decisions at UT are not made by the athletic director. Fulmer ain't got squat to do with this decision one way or another. He's not powerful enough to protect Pruitt or to fire him without various factions moving. Fulmer's there to keep your attention away from the people pulling the strings.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

He’s coming back. Welp, hope he can turn it around

 

[Govolsman98]

I think this is a very legit possibility.

Because of covid?

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

they would be foolish to fire Fulmer. that would do a lot more damage than good. I hope people see that. Our ability to be consistent, be respected, and bring in reputable coaches depends on stability..which he has given.

Lest we forget the **** show?

Bob isnt saying much that any reasonable person couldnt think. Fulmer is well liked by all the Administration and has brought continuity. He's safe. I'm sure.

Pruitt? You dont cheat; and lose to Kentucky.

But according to AV the OBC has also ticked off a lot of the key people within the administration.

 

[jakez4ut]

You have to get rid of him, even if you have to hire mcgoogle. It would suck, but holy ****. Pruitt is so bad, taking a chance on Mcgoogle is a way better option at this point. I've never seen such poorly coached tems in my life as I have this under Pruitt.

That's fine. But if the goal is the long term health of the program, firing him is a very small part of the equation. It's also the easiest decision we'll have in that process....

Everything after is harder and more complicated. That's not a reason not fire Pruitt. Just a reminder..

 

[TrippieRedd]

All y’all had to do was hire a damn box of cookies. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER.

 

[tnktm]

I’ve tried to stay positive but we were so uncompetitive against a&m - we didn’t seem to get better as the year went on. Depressing.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

I think this is a very legit possibility.

Because of Covid or Pruitt is back?
