Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[vol9799]

Swain is making some good points on firing Pruitt with cause. Thinks its potentially a bad look for interested coaches if you don't pay Pruitt on the way out.

Yeah, that really hurt Florida when they went and hired Mullen. This is just crap from agents who are trying to protect their leverage.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

I thought the same about the bald guy.

I think our perception about Pruitt being this defensive savant is a little skewed. Is he a good defensive mind? Sure. But working with the talent at Georgia, Alabama, and what was then a very talented Florida State team inflated his reputation. Combine that with his terrible decisions on offense and here we are.

 

[Memphisvol87]

It absolutely is. Dave Doeren...Mike Grundy x2 ...Charlie Strong.

What evidence you got?

I said home run coaches. We haven’t come to the table with serious money yet. I’m including back to when we told Gary Patterson he was “ too much of a football coach” and hired kiffin.

 

[Weezer]

Plenty of reason to be upset. Missing out on Napier ain’t one of them

lol Watch Napier go to Auburn and turn out to be a damn good coach. If that happens, that'll be plenty of reason to be upset.

That’s a accurate breakdown of where we are. Are we stupid enough to give a year or smart enough to eat the money and walk.

If it drags on to next week we’re stupid.

I'm not believing anything until I hear it come out of John Currie's mouth when he's on the podium.

Gonna be waiting a while then.....

Huh

The last thing we need is Bama LsU and Auburn to be really good again. The East might as well be AAC at that point

 

[InVOLuntary]

How do you explain all of those black eyes you walk around with all the time?

Dark, oversized sun glasses. Chicks dig black eyes btw.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Gonna be waiting a while then.....

I'm so confused. Ha

 

[SLICKYINC]

We aren’t Florida and we don’t have a Dan Mullen just sitting there. We do have endless internal struggles that the whole college football world has seen for years though.

 

[HankHill]

At this point I fully expect Adam Gase to pop up on Kingstons list.

Reported.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Apparently this nothing burger has legs....

Every school in the SEC would make that same statement about almost every other school in the conference. That statement is too general to be concerning.

 

[volbeast33]

If you're a Chadwell fan like I am, Napier possibly being hired at Auburn opens the door a little wider.

I’m coming around on Chad well as well..... bring the Tennessee native home.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

No. Higher ups want to CLEAN HOUSE.

”want” to but will they? Deerpark12 is doubtful they will.

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

”want” to but will they? Deerpark12 is doubtful they will.

He’s been wrong about as much as he’s been right. I appreciate the info he brings though. And I think passes along the info he hears, but the info may not be right to begin with.

 

[jdavis675]

did DT get any buyout $?

He did not.

It's true that we're a train wreck, but I don't believe firing a coach for cause when you actually have cause hurts you with future coaches, especially when said coach has performed as poorly as Pruitt. And I'm not sure Pruitt has done himself any favors in coaching circles by firing an assistant mid-game.

 

[windrider]

I am curious to see how Pruitt does without JG, I cannot lie

I am curious to see how UT does without Pruitt. I cannot lie.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Lol waiting a few days is drastically different than keeping him for another year.

And doing taxes isn’t the same thing as being fired.

If I didn’t do my job and get those taxes done, I would have been fired. That’s what I am saying.

 

[Z06VolinWV]

I may have asked this before, but does anyone here have experience with CBD oil? Does it really help with chronic pain?

What kind of chronic pain do you have? We grow hemp, and have quite a bit of experience with cbd products.

 

[#JuanVol]

maybe this is why most coaches didn’t take a Covid pay cut. They had a payroll to hit

Exactly, between that, the rumored bad temper and being a lame duck if he’s brought back, I don’t see him getting cream of the crop coaches to come here.

 

[ConwayFitty]

Just saw the bowl lineups. All them five stars and Georgia gets to play Cincinatti.

If Cincy wins we better hire Fickell before he leaves the field
