Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

we got turned down by two people. They are on number 4 right now.

Gundy just wanted a raise.

 

[KB5252]

The right fit is a guy who wins more than 3 games in year 3. And not just anomalous, close losses. Double digit ass whippings.

Butch Jones?

 

[KPT_VFL]

We don’t care about winning. It’s true.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

So they took a chance on Gus who’s been on the hot seat for 4 seasons. I mean come on man. Dooley, now Gus? Freeze or Chadwell are right in our wheelhouse. We won’t do better.

Freeze is fine but won't happen.
Chadwell needs to go to a Scar, NcST, MSST and prove himself. We wouldn't be taking a chance on Gus because we know what he is, Chadwell is no better than Dooley a shot in the dark. TN should be past those.

 

[KB5252]

Yeah sure because I guess they love to donate millions to a perennial dumpster fire.
I’m sure they find it hilarious

I see you don't speak sarcaneese.

Gundy just wanted a raise.

If his name is brought up for a third time involving another one of our coaching searches, I will lose it.

How can Fulmer keep Pruitt from getting fired? I thought the decision was more in the hands of boosters and Boyd?

Some of the boosters are ride or die with Phil. They threaten to pull their money if Boyd goes against him. If Phil says Pruitt stays then that's the fence they ride.

Here are some fun stats from Pruitt's 3 years. Mind you, there are 127 total NCAA teams

Defensive rankings by ppg- 77th, 29th, 71st
Defensive ranking by ypg- 49th, 23rd, 64th
Defensive ranking by yards per play- 67th, 24th, 76th

Offensive ranking by ppg- 110th, 97th, 108th
Offensive ranking by ypg- 122nd, 72nd, 104th
Offensive ranking by yards per play- 89th, 72nd, 94th

official. something we already knew

Where did Gus prove himself?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Where did Gus prove himself?

Auburn.

 

[jakez4ut]

two QB transfers it is!

 

[Ten_Titans]

I love how everything is always setup as a power struggle in the AD and football program.

How about you either support the AD or you don't. Why do we need people going behind the scenes trying top topple everything. Doesn't seem like a great way to build a program back up. All you have is a pile of rubble once the dust settles.

Supporting the AD means having Pruitt back for at least two more years.

I'll take the rubble.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Butch Jones?

Is a better head coach than Pruitt

 

[SweetasSoda]

He runs a high school offense. That’s been your argument about Chadwell. Chadwell could win with better talent than he has now. That’s my point.

I'm to the point of just give one of them the chance. The thought of continuing this season is unbearable.

 

[KB5252]

If his name is brought up for a third time involving another one of our coaching searches, I will lose it.

Yep, and I'd demand a cut up front.

 

[jakez4ut]

Auburn.

i was gonna say Ark St. lol.

 

[Batman1948]

Kiss my a$$!

Looks like you guys are headed to the Waffle House for real

 

[SLICKYINC]

Auburn.

Thank you.

 

[Dooby15]

Ironic Fulmer won’t hire Freeze bc of his history of dysfunction and yet here we are not winning with NCAA sanctions on the horizon on Fulmer’s watch.

Freeze has moved on and once again is doing more with less.

 

[KB5252]

Is a better head coach than Pruitt

Exactly, just because he's better does but make him a good fit here.

 

[Volbucky]

A lot of it was enforced for 2020. It’s nothing

I read and understood that. I’m just saying that’s going to be in his memory as a burden that comes with college ball if and when the nfl comes calling

 

[drvenner]

Holy **** lol

Please be true. I need some good news in my life.

 

[Ace]

Can’t we just take PF out of the replacement plan? Maybe doing so would make him more open to replacing JP.

Fulmer put himself into this
