Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[KPT_VFL]

Will UT ever make winning a priority? Seems like we just hope to you win while other places really try to win. We are embarrassing. We think we are too high and mighty for guys like Freeze, Briles etc. other schools just flat out don’t care as long as the scoreboard is in their favor on Saturdays.

 

[SLICKYINC]

i was gonna say Ark St. lol.

Coastal Carolina, same thing.

 

[Kingston Vol]

I'd bet WKU is a serious option for Shrout.

 

[rekinhavoc]

Pruitt is not head coach material. Too thin skinned and hard headed. Fire him for the QB position alone. You don't start QB's who cannot get the job done and you certainly need to have a serviceable backup in place. He has failed and new assistants will not help. He hasn't shown very sound hiring skills. What makes anyone think he will magically start now?

 

[VOLED]

official. something we already knew

Maybe they have told him that we are looking to add a QB transfer?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

i was gonna say Ark St. lol.

No, because the point is. He's been at Auburn, so you know what to expect from him. He isn't some guy who's played around in the Sun Belt then making the jump. Is he perfect, no. But he knows how to handle the pressure of the SEC, we certainly know he can cheat, and he's won games.

 

[jakez4ut]

Coastal Carolina, same thing.

we're on the same page. too bad Chadwell doesn't have a HS qb and his coach to offer up like Gus did with what's his name , Mitch Mustain was it? maybe that could be the deal breaker....

 

[Nash_Vol97]

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.

Basically what I thought and posted last night. The decision won’t come until the investigation is either over, or they find enough to fire him at any point.

 

[drvenner]

Does this mean Mullen can't coach next year? That's a big bomb if true

If it is true, it means Florida has to "show cause" to keep him.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

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

Again, yes there are bad fits everywhere. Jeremy Pruitt is a bad fit. And he is a bad coach. There is no argument to make that he deserves to be here any longer, especially when you factor in all of the behind the scenes issues/topics.

 

[Batman1948]

I can't believe we are forgoing practice and a bowl game with how bad we are. Are we going to hear about a lack of bowl game for why we aren't ready this spring?

Well, if Covid isn't under control, we may not have spring practice again. I don't see it going away anytime soon.

 

[MarcoVol]

official. something we already knew

Damn

 

[GVol1966]

Lmao, Butch and Dooley can’t even hold his headset.

Ridiculous comparison.

Comparison . To who? All was said “We need to hire an offensive HC “. No names mentioned.
I pointed out we did twice. Neither worked out. The more important aspect is we need to hire a really good HC D or O side doesn’t matter.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

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

Click it. Its true but only for recruiting off campus

 

[HankHill]

Maybe they have told him that we are looking to add a QB transfer?

Maybe he doesn’t want to play a scheme from 2003.

 

[SweetasSoda]

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

Some boosters are backing Fulmer. Some are not. If the boosters all agreed there would not be a problem.

 

[jakez4ut]

No, because the point is. He's been at Auburn, so you know what to expect from him. He isn't some guy who's played around in the Sun Belt then making the jump. Is he perfect, no. But he knows how to handle the pressure of the SEC, we certainly know he can cheat, and he's won games.

eh. i think gus was very fortunate in some very big games along the way. otherwise, he's likely fired 4 years ago.....i don't think he's the automatic 8 w/year guy.....and i doubt seriously his streak of good fortune would continue here.

 

[volamite86]

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

Feldman’s being extra acting like it’s a big deal. He just can’t actively recruit this next year. Would bet money he runs into the recruits when they visit the swamp.

 

[windrider]

Is a better head coach than Pruitt

Gentlemen, give me that silver dollar and let me toss.

 

[Batman1948]

The first two games of the year were pretty sweet. I'll have that to last me all off season.

The first 2 and 1/2 games were sweet. I don't know what happened at halftime of the Georgia game but it killed our season.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

So, yall insiders still think Pruitt is gone? Lol

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Is this finally the nail in the coffin that finally kills this program and take us 6ft under?

 

[jakez4ut]

man @JAllen18 and @Atlanta VOL went all scorched earth in here today..............................lol.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Coastal Carolina, same thing.

Auburn took the chance on him. TN wouldn't be you know what you're going to get from him.

 

[BloodShovel]

No, because the point is. He's been at Auburn, so you know what to expect from him. He isn't some guy who's played around in the Sun Belt then making the jump. Is he perfect, no. But he knows how to handle the pressure of the SEC, we certainly know he can cheat, and he's won games.

He's also beat Saban with lesser talent.
