Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

AU may go back after Freeze...

They’re going to hire him. They thought they were too good for him and high and mighty like us now they’re going to get him.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Well Shrout in the portal just shows how much more incompetent this staff was for not playing Bailey all the snaps to get him more experience for next year.

 

[Ace]

Has it ever occurred to you that many coaches will not be interested in Tennessee because Fulmer is the AD

 

[SLICKYINC]

Are you willing to be OC here?

I’ll need a day or 2 practice on madden but yeah, I can do it.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Auburn gonna slip and fall into another damn natty

We could hire him tonight!!!

 

[KB5252]

I

Freeze is not a slam dunk

Don't think so either, just want to see where they go with it and make them reason out why it's phalacy.

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

Salter is smiling really big right now and he will be here in mid January or sooner if they don't make it to their championship game

Yeah because Pruitt is so great with handling QBs

and here we are dicking around like usual.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Freeze would literally crawl through hell to get here.... yet we are too damn stupid to hire him because we think we are running a ministry and he has a past....

Or on the flip. Fulmer fighting for Pruitt and the extra money he has pushed toward football have them more interested than before.

 

[C-town Vol]

Man...good times in here today...good times

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Yes sir. Freeze will not coach here. Pruitt won't be fired this year, either.

I was for keeping Pruitt till this investigation crap came up...IMO that absolutely obliterated any chance at all that he could pull off a comeback...that is just made it a Chernobyl level toxic situation.

 

[tn88volfan]

Auburn is going to pull some coaching magic and steal Coach Butch Jones from AState.

The car wash program at Auburn would be infallible.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Freeze to Auburn would be dangerous.

He’d literally make Pruitt look like a pee wee coach against him.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

On another note. AP thinks Chandler may hit the portal and head over to UNC with coach G.

 

[Weezer]

To me, the state of UT's program right now requires someone that has SEC head coaching experience and it can't be a high level coordinator with some SEC experience. I believe Campbell, Napier, and even Chadwell are great coaches but I don't think they're ready for the head coaching position at TN, there's too much to repair internally before the product on the field can be better. Freeze and Gus are the ones that know what they'd be walking into and the 2 realistic candidates that could stabilize the program. (Freeze would bring the most excitement of those 2 and to me the obvious choice.)

Tennessee really needs a head coach to give total control to, like an Urban Meyer or Bob Stoops but I don't see either one of them taking the job. Or, do I ever see UT even giving up total control of the football program.

Disagree with at least part of this. One thing I do agree with, Bob Stoops would be the perfect choice, but it's not happening. Matt Campbell would be next on my list. Before the whole NCAA scandal thing, Freeze probably would have been my next choice, but I'm not sure that's still tenable. Not in on Gus at all. The floor should be Napier. He has experience as a HC, more so than Chadwell. I don't think Chadwell is there yet. Chadwell is a guy I'd have zero qualms hiring as an OC, but just couldn't pull the trigger on as a HC yet.

Fulmer is too polarizing a figure to be AD. He has to go. We need a guy that can get the boosters on the same page, and keep them happy enough to leave things alone. Behind the scenes, our program is a mess. The entire AD needs a thorough cleaning. To borrow a phrase from one of Hank's choices, we need everyone to "row the boat" in the same direction. We don't have that. We don't even have close to that. And that's why we continue to fail.

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

Who is a slam dunk hire besides Freeze that is realistic?

I would say it depends on how serious UT is about wanting to win. I didn't see Jimbo Fisher to A&M coming, but they decided they wanted to be taken seriously and win games and ponied up the money to get him. UT has the money to get serious if they wanted to.

the car wash would show tremendous resiliency.

Napier would be a mediocre hire.

 

[Batman1948]

And some people still believe Fulmer is cut out to be the AD?

He never went after the AD job. He stepped in during all the turmoil when Currie was fired. It was always going to be a short term thing for him and he's doing what he believes is right to get the football program stabilized. Pruitt was a very quick hire under bad circumstances. Obviously, there are people over there that believe he has UT going in the right direction. Right or wrong, that's just what it is right now.

Phalacy and fallacy have two different meanings. I think you meant fallacy - lol

Not a slam dunk IMO.

BINGO....i bet money that they knew Shrout was transferring the whole time.

 

[ndubvols]

Hubbs made a good point today on the Midday 180 in Nashville. It’s extremely difficult to find cause when firing someone. He said Currie was directly insubordinate of Davenport during the coaching search fiasco and he still got his buyout money.

I would be a little surprised if there wasn’t some wording in there regarding ncaa investigations. Obviously a bit of a double edged sword and I hope we don’t have one
