Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I mean we cheated and only won 3 games. Imagine what 10-0 is doing

I lived in Bama for seven years...they cheat on an industrial scale and everybody there knows it and doesn't care.

This is my pup Bear.

Never said "mass" exodus.

I DO believe a few of those would be staying if we weren't such a shizshow. More will leave as well. They are older guys, guys that can play right away next year as grad transfers.

And if the transfer rule passes next month...might get even worse with a lame duck HC. Jmo though carry on

The only one in the portal that kinda hurts is shrout. Pretty much all the others were expected more or less.

You were insinuating that Pruitt didn’t have a graphic because he might know have known Rucker was “signing” with UT today. I pointed out that wouldn’t be the case.

Correct I was wrong on that. However it still doesn't mean anything that he hasn't tweeted.

 

[jakez4ut]

Nah

"might"

 

[SugarCC]

So recruits just like Saban, Smart, and Dabo.......WANT

Can get sanctions for multiple reasons. His were not recruiting violations.

 

[Leeleesteeth]

We have to play relatively good defense to win...period.

Definition of good defense is changing. Now it's about stops relative to Offensive output. Limiting teams to FG inside red zone. Making teams sustain drives to score. The days of 3 and outs, shutouts, less than 200 yds of Offense are long gone.

MORE DOGS PLEASE!!!! WE NEED MORE POSITIVITY

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

I’ll avi bet. Pruitt will not coach a game at UT again.

Loser rocks the winners avatar of choice for the entire ‘21 football season.

If you lose

 

[C-town Vol]

My ideal choice: Bob Stoops
—A Rick Barnes, grown up, proven leader, right the ship hire.

Most Fun choice: Hugh Freeze
—Has beaten Saban, big offense, charismatic/polarizing persona, immediate attention for the program (is there a such thing as bad publicity?)

Who I think the choice will be: Jamey Chadwell
—Tennessee guy, magnetic personality, unique offense, HC experience, has had to scratch and claw for everything, will be the first guy we actually interview / approach who is willing to take the job.

 

[Smokeytom]

So we've reached the emotional support dog phase.

 

[tn88volfan]

Actually he doesn't, he retweet a tweet from UT Football account. The graphic that Pruitt's account had been tweeting was different than that one.

you are correct. my point is that Pruitt is avoiding social media, because he is going to get roasted as soon as he makes a comment

[jakez4ut]

This is a good point. Add in Christmas, covid, funerals and investigation, I don't understand why it had to be by today. Didn't AP say something about January?

Yeah. Next week seems logical. If we get past New year's day... Prolly nothing happening

 

[Devo182]

Maybe I didn't ask it right.

There's no solution. All schools will have to work harder to keep their players. Even less reason to nudge guys out...if only to keep a full roster.

Currently we seem to struggle each offseason to cut down to 85. Problem solved I guess.

You still have to play relatively consistent good defense to consistently compete against the best.

 

[SugarCC]

He wouldn’t out coach any of those guys

Coming from the guy who said winning a national championship is "meaningless".

 

[C-town Vol]

Who will actually be the choice: Doug Marrone

I can definitely see that happening...
I would rather have Chadwell, I think

 

[mr.checkerboards]

you are correct. my point is that Pruitt is avoiding social media, because he is going to get roasted as soon as he makes a comment

And on that you are correct. But thinking him doing it has anything to do with him being fired is just wishful thinking.

 

[Skizer41]

Here's where I'm starting to doubt he's gone this year. Why would PF mention anything about CJP and spring practice next year in his statement on Sunday accepting the bid to the bowl game? It seemed very out of place but very intentional. Almost like he's putting his foot down. CJP may still get fired but that statement is just sticking out in my mind.

 

[The Dog]

Gauge, Cersei and The Dog, yeah, I'm high

It’s really nothing special. He has no experience with a Power 5 school and has been handed everything he’s had. He won’t be anything but average in the SEC.

Okay
