Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[jakez4ut]

Sigh. I want this version of kiffin. Never gonna happen.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

It’s the end of year three. When do they plan to start?

Would be nice to know, wouldn't it?

 

[Volbucky]

yes, absolutely.

You may be serious but you are also wrong. He’d bring a ton of excitement. Just look at this board as a small sample

 

[JMSqb11]

Why isn’t it like 2010? Because you like Cut?

No. In 2010, we were mandating the new coach had to keep on average coaches.


Auburn is selling these up and comer coaches they have to keep one of the better DC's in the SEC.

 

[Catbone]

yes, absolutely.

Terrible take. I mean really bad

 

[Wickman]

Uh okay

Nice of Ansley to be offering kids despite being chit canned...

This was actually a pretty common practice before every coach got canned. They’re still going to be recruiting somewhere else. It’s to build relationships, whether they’re at UT or somewhere else.

 

[jakez4ut]

I think it may be better said that freeze wouldn't be boring. Lol.

 

[m1al]

So everyone is of the opinion that this is neither Fulmer’s fire or hire... so why be a Scut Farkus? He’s a figurehead.

Everyone dragging Phil, I’m making a list...

Did I say something false? Phil HAS a large ego and IF Kiffin was ever hired, Phil's boss will have to threaten him with his job before he shares the stage with him...

That's not a slander against Phil and honestly I'm not sure I'd blame him...

Napier was the OC at Clemson when Steele was the DC. He may just feel he can't work with him.

I usually take a break from VN post spring ball to fall ball. Feel like that break is going to be a little longer this year if Pruitt is back. Going to be hard to get very excited for mid year recruiting and just the season in general. I’m sure it will heat up again come first game week, but man...off season is gonna be a drag.

 

[KB5252]

Interesting. If Pruitts fired who would you want us to go after?

Any of the third tier guys who are on our real big board. Not the imaginary pie in the sky candidates we have no chance with, or would ever consider.

The people at the very bottom of most people's list are in reality at the very top of ours but slightly out of reach. Have we learned nothing in our 15 years as fans of a team on a perpetual coaching search?

Fulmer a figurehead-that’s about right. In fact that is almost the exact term someone close to the program used here on VN.

Are you BOTs alter?

 

[BloodShovel]

How most Vol fans have felt watching games the past 3 years.

What are you talking about. All these ADs are pseudo-political figureheads. That’s what he is, and he’s a dang good one for this university. He isn’t making fires and hires that aren’t coming from above. Tennessee is no different than Auburn or anyone else not named Alabama.

 

[UTK]

ZzZzZzzz

WR’s coach...who ended up leaving anyway. Cut valued himself too much...like most coaches. You hire someone, you don’t impose their staff.

 

[jakez4ut]

3 weeks ago the Steelers were one of the, if not the, best teams in the NFL.

Now.. Well let's just say it's fortunate that it's mathematicaly impossible for them to miss the playoffs.

Cause they suck right now. Wow.

 

[allstar34bd]

Have we fired pruitt yet

 

[PYSCHO]

Interesting. If Pruitts fired who would you want us to go after?

I would like to hear myself who is his choice.

 

[jakez4ut]

No..I bet he feels worse.

I think this year’s offseason will be the fastest ever, because a lot of us won’t give a sh*t.

The Offseason after 2015 felt like the longest in recent memory.

It’s really odd they’ve fallen off so badly.

I guess that’s what happens when you absolutely cannot run the ball...like at all.

 

[allstar34bd]

Do you guy's think Harrison Bailey could be our QB of the future if we get a decent coaching staff or are we depending on Salter to come in and immediately compete for a starting job?
