Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[VOL6479]

It wasn’t an endorsement but he certainly didn’t have to mention him by name. That was on purpose.

If Fulmer is worried about his legacy why would he mention his name if he knows theirs a chance Pruitt could get fired anyways wouldn't that make Fulmer look bad?

 

[Orange Studs]

$12M

He's already gotten half of that and he will make plenty somewhere else where they might like him if he isn't HC. But I knew that's what someone would say. lol For me, not worth the stress on my family.

He fired Holly from women's basketball, all in all shes a TN legend and made it to multiple elite 8, and won multiple SEC championships. But she wasn't winning National titles or making final fours. That's the Lady Vols standard. It's crazy to me he can make that move but wants 3-7 Pruitt back. Just what the hell

Holly was worse than Pruitt.

 

[Orange Studs]

Not really that amazing to think he wants to prove he can win and change some of those opinions.

I mean, were you raised to be a quitter?

Realizing that it may not be the place for me and my family (having been a Pastor) or a good fit and making the decision to leave isn't being a quitter.

I thought Napier was probably the guy here if Freeze doesn't happen. He's a great coach and is going to do well recruiting GA. I think he'll hurt UGA some.

We are idiots if we let Napier go to Auburn. He wants UT. I hate this administration. If Auburn hires Napier and we don’t fire Pruitt, I don’t want to hear anything about how this university cares about winning. And remember some trying to say fans don’t have much say? Please! Auburn was going to hire Steele and the fans freaked. We can do the same, it’s time to start letting them know.

I wish the "waiting to fire with cause" excuse would go away. That just simply isn't the case. They may still fire him but this is an internal tug of war. Jmo

From what 247 has said, things would have to be really bad to fire him for cause, bad enough that we really really don't want that. Not worth the saved dollars.

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

This was an internal issue, until it wasn't.....

Which I understand but someone had to leak it, and apparently it’s been whispered about here for a while so it wasn’t exactly a tightly kept secret. Honestly though, with or without cause I just want Pruitt gone.

As others have said, I’m out till he is. I’ll still post here but I definitely won’t go to any games or buy any new UT gear. I might watch if I’m around a TV and the game is on but I’m not taking time out of my day to do it.

Right. Thats kinda my point. The fact some want something bad enough to fire him with cause is just crazy. It would hurt us much more than the 12m.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

With Auburn offering Napier it appears Fulmer may Steele have a chance at redemption.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Holly was worse than Pruitt.

72% winning percentage. Pruitt is a lot worse. I would die for winning 72% of our football games.

 

[SergeantVol]

Asking VN to calm down and to ride it out has the exact same effect as it does when I tell my wife to calm down.

Ah you’ve made that mistake too?!?!

 

[BruinVol]

If Napier is gone give me Clarke or Brady and let’s go

 

[RikidyBones]

I would simply walk into Mordor and wage war against all of the orks wielding a dwarf as my only weapon and Smeagol on my back punching me in the eye for a chance to hire a new coach. Even Google is fine!!

 

[TrippieRedd]

​

"247 is saying Napier is going to be offered the job. Says steele and sark have not even interviewed."​

I wonder if we try to go get Steele. HAHAHAHHAHAHA........

How exactly does one wield a dwarf? They don’t like being tossed, can’t imagine they’ed like to be wielded lol

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Okay... I want change.

There are literally zero positives to take from that game.

Zero.

Burn it to the ground. It’s time for change.

This was my post on Sunday. I'm just like the rest of you. I want a new coach.

But I'm convinced it isn't happening.

Take a step back, take a deep breath, and think objectively:

This whole ordeal is playing out exactly.... EXACTLY like the Gruden ordeal.

A lot of the same insiders posting vague statements about meetings, backchannels, warring factions within the boosters.

A comical number of "quotes from a poster at VQ"... because 1/3 of their users is somehow, someway connected to a booster or to someone within the AD, and those people just love to run their mouths about all the discrete things they're doing.

And I carry water for a number of respected insiders here, but while none of them guaranteed Gruden was coming like they sometimes get accused of, there were a lot of posts from them alluding to it being a very strong possibility. Including a percentage of 60% being thrown out IIRC.

Oh, and of course I can't forget the presence of obvious troll @MIT_Beaver. Icing on the cake.

Tennessee fans, myself included, got clowned in 2017. A ridiculous amount of you are falling hook line and sinker in 2020. Substitute Gruden for Freeze.

Tennessee might fire Pruitt. I'm not convinced they do. But they might. In the meantime, I am enjoying reading everyone's attempt to twist and interpret every ounce of information to fit their narrative.

Last night was perfect example: People standing on the fact that PF won't endorse CJP. Fulmer finally does, and everyone dismisses it as 'well what was he supposed to say?' Or how standing on PF dying on the CJP hill, when "Bob Vols" (essentially VQ's AV) said PF isn't fighting it. Etc etc

Just be objective.

Put your cups on.

And stop saying “I’m DONE!”

Pruitt better be fired today. And they better have the next coach lined up.

[engineerVOL]
