Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[MarcoVol]

So, who are the new coordinators going to be?

Jim Chaney and Derrick Ansley

 

[KPT_VFL]

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.

He just doesn’t want to swallow some pride. Freeze is a far better coach than Pruitt.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

oh, that's great. well why didn't you say so anonymous message board poster.

And what are you exactly? Lol

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

That's yet to be determined.

It’s pretty well determined when we go 6-6.

Jim Chaney and Derrick Ansley

I saw Ainsley's name attached to the investigation last night. Plus JAllen mentioned Pruitts pitch on coming back was a new OC and DC

@Atlanta VOL with the drive by...lol

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.

I’m not sure I believe this. I think he wants his hire to be right and be looked at as saving the program. But he is sinking the ship further.

 

[MarcoVol]

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?

Perhaps Ole Larry doesn’t know that much

 

[HankHill]

Same ol crap. Some supporting PF and a faction not. The faction that isn’t is making the case for a complete overhaul including fulmer as part of the deal. And that complicates the entire process hence why more time is needed and also this investigation needs to either highlight what UT can and can’t do with the information once its all put together. I think the outcome however is that these coaches have done a very good job of separation from church and state on the major issues and only minor ones will show themselves...but it all depends how deep the digger is.

Someone needs to Narc

Not sure how much to read into coaches that are leaving. Football Staff Contracts expiring on Jan 31st:

• Will Friend,
• Tee Martin and
• Brian Niedermeyer

 

[Devo182]

So there it is. Replacing 3-5 staff members and coming back. It is what it is, at least basketball is fun. We have lived through 15 years of this crap, what’s one more I guess.

"One more year" wouldn't be terrible. The risk here is "one more year" turns into 3-5 more years when everything tanks under a toxic hot seat situation. It's not going to end well if he stays.

Great. That’ll be 3 OC and DC in 4 years. Who is really the problem?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Yea keeping a proven loser is better than hiring someone who hasn't lost a game this year. You're right

Its a lot easier to win in Myrtle Beach then it is in Knoxville. Chadwell has never dealt with the attitudes of the big dogs, never had to outscheme some of the best in the business. Never had to worry about the media and fans jumping his throat when things don't go well. Chadwell is not ready for the TN job much in the same as Pruitt.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Great. That’ll be 3 OC and DC in 4 years. Who is really the problem?

Fulmer

Yeah well it was also insinuated that Pruitt was likely gonna be let go yet here we are

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Perhaps Ole Larry doesn’t know that much

Maybe not.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Has Dooley ever been undefeated, ever? I mean I understand you don’t like Chadwell but that Dooley argument is dumb.

Dooleys biggest mistake was Sal Sunseri.

 

[BloodShovel]

We've all seen Chaney's offense work great with other coaches. This is the version you get with a micro-managing gump!

 

[Dudleys87]

I’m not sure I believe this. I think he wants his hire to be right and be looked at as saving the program. But he is sinking the ship further.

That’s exactly what he’s doing.
He wants it to work so bad he’ll over look things and push back whenever he has to.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

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.

Arkansas didn’t seem to have a problem with a new system. Excuses are getting old. Chaneys system is terrible and has been for the last two years.

Was there a meeting at the basketball game last night?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Yeah well it was also insinuated that Pruitt was likely gonna be let go yet here we are

I think coordinator changes are much more likely, this was talked about even before the firing stuff started. Its been thrown around that Chaney wasn't Pruitts first choice. Do you think Pruitt is going to keep a guy he doesn't love in a make or break year?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Lmao. I love how the argument for Weinke is that he has a year on his contract. By no means the production at QB or the ability to do his job. Just the fact he has a year left.

My God what morons

That's where we are as a program right now. All about saving money. No one over there seems to recognize the fact that wins bring far more money

 

[BruinVol]

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.

and with what’s happening at auburn thay appears to be getting closer to being believable

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

TIFWIW

TB says very remote chance he returns. He thinks it's going to end, it's just a matter of how. He said a lot of poker being played right now. 10% or less he stays per TB.

I hope TB is right for once
