Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[m1al]

people liked Ted Bundy. I kid.

He had a nickname, B100.. The B was his first initial and the 100 was what he ALWAYS got on his merit ratings.. I bet the dude has never gotten as much as a speeding ticket his whole life. He was a VERY interesting character.. Funny as hell too.

If he doesn't get fired today, I'm seriously doubting he gets fired at all.

Every day that goes by the chance goes up he's coming back. At this point I'm at 70/30 he stays.

 

[JCVol00]

Good Morning.
He's coming back

Then it is not a good morning

This was one of the worst offenses in football this year and one of the worst in our history. It’s doomsday keeping an OC who can’t score 20 points.

The only hope I have is in the fact that we’ll no longer be hamstrung by JG. They did appear to open up the play book a little without him out there. If we can get off the field on 3rd plus have more variety on offense maybe we can get over the hurdle win 6 games next year.

If John Dutton was our booster, we’d get stuff done.

And if Beth was on the UT cheer squad, I would drink a couple Yellow Jackets to that!!

Same. Pretty much conceded that he’ll be back with mostly a new staff. Third time’s a charm.

Talking about older players has reminded how much I enjoy Inside the NBA. Barkley, Shaq and co are hilarious.

Lot of great players throughout NBA history. I used to watch the occasional highlight film. Bill Russell was great, and has more rings than anyone IIRC. Centerpiece of those great Celtic teams from the '60's. Wilt Chamberlain was good, but I always thought he benefited greatly from playing during a time when 7 footers were not the norm. Nowadays, every team has one. Pistol Pete had amazing ball skills. (TWSS) Anyone who enjoys the game should go back and watch highlight reels of the older players that made the NBA what it is today.

Pruitt will replace Will Friend with another confidant. John Buddy.

 

[jpope9]

Trey Wallace on 104.5 the zone is saying that TN lawyers are involved along with the compliance office in the investigation.....that sounds like a lot more serious issue against Pruitt.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

If John Dutton was our booster, we’d get stuff done.

If Beth Dutton was our booster it would have been done already

Wish we could just fire the guy already.

So he’s just repeating what we already knew.

 

[jakez4ut]

This whole conversation is operating on the assumption of if Pruitt and Chaney is back for the 2021season. So the whole yet point is irrelevant to this conversation. I think you are putting too much emphasis on the literal “FU” to the fans part. It’s more of “we know the fans are gonna show up no matter what next year so why go through the work of firing these coach and finding other ones this year.”


But i will play along... they stick and stay with Pruitt/Chaney.... what other things could be playing out?

the rest of the staff. sounds like OL coach could be in play as well as DL, DC, LB....maybe another spot too.

they'd have to use 2 year deals to get any quality guys to sign up at this point, but assuming they do, then there's still an opportunity to put a good staff together (body of work says don't bet on it though).

maybe i'm putting too much in the FU, but just going off the sh8t sandwich comment.

point being, if they retain pruit, it's not the goal to alienate the fans. i think it's a bigger statement on where this job ranks right now. and it may be better served for this administration and AD to focus their attention on really giving this guy EVERY opportunity to be successful....again.

and i'm not saying i'm for that....i'm not. but if retained, i think that's more likely than any subliminal or overt message to fans and their appetite for TN football.

 

[Dudleys87]

Certainly possible. Just my take on it: it doesn’t sound like anything is moving forward right now either for or against Pruitt.

I would have been way more concerned about Pruitt staying if Hubbs had said: “they’re currently vetting candidates for the OC position.”

It’ll be the same story I’m sure:

We (The admins) watched coaching searches around the country unfold and didn’t feel they could hire someone who meets the Tennessee standard. We have given AD Fulmer and coach Pruitt our reassurance that they’re who we believe will get Tennessee back to where we all want to be”

Trey Wallace is probably full of sh*t.

 

[BruinVol]

And he got that from here from LA

 

[Weezer]

It’s like a teen chat room in here. Some of y’all need to calm the f down .

Ron....do you want me to curl your hair? Bruin can do your nails if you want.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

yay, I’m glad you and a lot of others here are excited about that.

Maybe next year Tennessee will get 2 wins.

Who said I'm excited. I said this was a poorly coached football team and that we weren't even close long before a lot of others on the board. I want him so far gone its not even funny, but its not gonna happen.

 

[Dudleys87]

Trey Wallace on 104.5 the zone is saying that TN lawyers are involved along with the compliance office in the investigation.....that sounds like a lot more serious issue against Pruitt.

No that’s to assure we don’t fk it up even further and have to pay him more money

 

[jakez4ut]

If he doesn't get fired today, I'm seriously doubting he gets fired at all.

i'd say if not by the end of next week, then it's probably likely he's not going anywhere.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Here’s what needs to happen to Pruitt, his staff, and anyone in administration who don’t think this should happen to Pruitt and his staff:


And if this doesn’t happen, then I as well as the fanbase should be like:

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

The only hope I have is in the fact that we’ll no longer be hamstrung by JG. They did appear to open up the play book a little without him out there. If we can get off the field on 3rd plus have more variety on offense maybe we can get over the hurdle win 6 games next year.

We scored 19, 42, and 13 without JG. 42 was against a team with 48 scholarship players and even at full strength we’re terrible. So take out the 42. We scored an average of 16 points. Next year will be miserable if we keep this staff.

 

[RiotVol]

Is not absurd to think Lebron is better than Jordan or the other way around. Two are very close. Anyone that thinks own is WAY better than the other are just nostalgic for whatever they grew up with lol.

The fact that started playing hopscotch in this minefield shows that I probably should have used blue font.

 

[Dudleys87]

i'd say if not by the end of next week, then it's probably likely he's not going anywhere.

if they haven’t fired him they aren’t doing it on Christmas Eve or Christmas. Maybe not even the following week.

 

[BAJAvol]

Auburn will fall half ass backwards into a great hire after it's all said and done (kiffin). Must be something in the water in Alabama.
