Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[InVOLuntary]

You know just as well as I do that we would end up caught flat-footed again.

Maybe maybe not. I've often said we are reactionary in our our actions. We never seem to be proactive. Maybe we are being proactive.

Lol

teams just need to quit even trying with Venables, he's never leaving clemson.

 

[JAllen18]

Fulmer believes Pruitt is a good coach and will it turn it around here. More importantly, thinks Pruitt's better than the current pool of coaches that are available.

 

[BloodShovel]

I would take Gus at this point just to stabilize the program for the next few years. Who knows maybe a fresh start for him could be good and he's had a few weeks now to reflect on why he was fired and what he would need to change going forward.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Does this mean all the upgrade coaches have turned us down and that's why we could be stuck with Gump another year?

That's a possibility, I think. Look at Auburn.

 

[Batman1948]

In-laws are literally freaking out, as much as they wanted Gus gone, they don't see the point of firing him to promote Steele. I told them that maybe they are thinking they can hire an really good OC easier than they could get a really good HC.

I think Art Briles would kill it at Auburn as their OC but if they thought Kiffin had too much baggage---- I doubt they would look Art's way

 

[Volfanatic_20]

Lol

If I'm Venables I'm never leaving Clemson. The amount of money he makes to coach defense and recruit against the weak ACC. I would interview for a new HC job each off season to get myself a raise but I wouldn't leave Clemson.

 

[Jravol78]

It's like they have to lick their finger and stick it in the air every time they take a sh!t....

And then try to serve up the byproduct to the fans as filet mignon.

Not until his kids are graduated.

Lol

who do they have left besides Steele?

then he's a bigger idiot than we thought.

Utter lunacy.

Pruitt.

 

[Batman1948]

All these people turning Auburn down makes me believe they’re trying to force Steele and/or Gardner on the new coach.

New coaches probably want to have their own guys.

New coaches should be allowed to hire their own assistants. If the program was working with the current assistants, you wouldn't need a new head coach.

 

[jpope9]

RIP SC's QB when they play the rest of the league.

 

[HankHill]

Jay probably joining him.

 

[Volfanatic_20]

If they don't pull Kiffin I think it has to be Steele. Main booster that paid most of Gus' buyout wants Steele.

I’ve posted about 10 times the reasons this is the best year, maybe ever, to make a coaching change, and I hadn’t even considered the schedule.

I agree there are a ton of good reasons.
1. 3 TN guys rumored to have interest and want the job
2. The cupboard won't be bare of talent for once.
3. A reasonable schedule next year where a new guy could win 8-9 games in year 1.
4. Next year's in state recruiting class being an ELITE building block class.
5. Staff turn over which lessens the amount that needs to be paid in buyouts.
6. Future scheduling gets harder
7. Pruitt burning bridges with coaches
8. There seems to be only 1 person on campus who likes Pruitt.
There's 8 reasons right there and I am sure there are a few more.

 

[JMSqb11]

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.

JG was a huge problem with our offense's production or lack thereof and Pruitt owns that decision.

Our offense was much better, even sadly, with Bailey/Shrout than with JG.

Worst thing Pruitt can do is move on from Chaney and give Bailey a new system to learn. Mightas well fire Pruitt now if its being mandated Chaney has to leave.

I apologize if somebody has asked you this, but....

Does Pruitt even want to be here anymore? Several people like Larry and others have suggested that he’s tired of all of this. What’s your opinion?

 

[Jackcrevol]

Lol, why was that candy cane man nude? :-D

i lifted it from googles. not sure.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Screw it. If we can’t get Freeze bring on Chadwell and his whole staff.

Fulmer: "Jeremy has worked like heck since arriving on the hill, all of our young men know how to tie their shoes now"

Fulmer also thought Dave Clawson was a good OC
