Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

That describes every successful coach I've ever known.

So he's trying to act like a successful coach?

 

[MoCo_Vol]

If anyone is interested in the contracts of coaches etc. I feel like if the 3 that expire are allowed to expire/leave that's the writing on the wall. Also if some of these names that have another year move on to new jobs this off-season it's more evidence that Pruitt's tenure will be ending. Ultimately if you mitigate staff buyout through natural attrition (contracts expiring, taking new offers, etc.) then you're now only asking boosters to foot the bill specifically to get rid of Pruitt, something that'll be easier to swallow imo.

Until Pruitt, Weinke, and Chaney are gone, I don't think it matters much who is on the staff... Glad to see Friend go though.

 

[RiotVol]

No that’s absolutely correct. That’s why i said in a previous post it’s impossible to know why or who is making that call.

I find that baffling. If your defense is constantly lost and struggling to cover, I would think going more man would be easier to teach and execute.

This defense looks so different than even last year. Where are those edge blitzes?

 

[SergeantVol]

Also want to say thanks to all of our insiders and information brokers for doing what you do. Never mind the riff raff in here complaining about it. Some people just have to have something to complain about or they can’t be happy.

 

[butchna]

Better yet, we're getting rid of Friend.

That was the proverbial line in the sand I was awaiting. If they had RESIGNED him? Pruitt’s 100% back and in full defiance.

Correction Helton recruited Shrout

They say Cut didn't recruit much when he was here I think at least he went out and recruited his qbs

 

[Batman1948]

Because there isn’t one good reason to keep him.

I think there is a good reason and it has to do with his contract. This entire deal could run between $20 and $30 million for buyouts and replacements. That's a lot of money in this economy, even for the wealthy.

It only works well if you’re actually successful.

I just hate hearing multiple times after every game "we were probably in the right call there, but they just made a play" after they give up a 3rd and long or a td. When you hear that every game its so frustrating. Who's job is it to make sure that the players are where they're supposed to be, again?

I have not rewatched any of our games or been assigned any as of yet but it looks to me that the majority of our issues are alignment based. We haven’t had that many just absolute blown coverages this year outside of the big auburn play. When a team is routinely getting picked on by things like inside slants, flat/wheel routes, or balls up the seam... it’s alignment. Florida’s entire gameplan was that and it was last year.

How much does UT lose by keeping a lame duck coach? A lot.

 

[yoyoyoyo]

Going to Bandon in April for the first time. Playing 36 a day for 5 days and can't wait.

Excited to see Sheep Ranch, but I hear great things about Pacific Dunes from people who have been.

Just wish it was not so difficult logistically to get there for the south.

I’ve been several times and people will ask which course is the best. My reply is whichever one I’m playing. They all have attributes that make them unique and great. It’s amazing to have that many holes and I don’t think there is a bad hole from architecture perspective.

 

[densojb3]

what in all that is holy, is this?

Tennessee's new strength and conditioning coach.

@nicksjuzunk

Edit: dang, got beat out by @drvenner on the tattle.

Dang, bunch of Benedict Arnold's in here

 

[Nashvegas31]

Dan Harralson needs to be removed from vol beat. He brings nothing but garbage to the table. His articles are nothing and now he has a hit piece headline on tee Martin for no reason and article is talking about when he was a player. What **** show are we running here? Hold these punks accountable

 

[TheRain]

Yes.
If you're rich people say you're colorful... If you're poor they call you a slob.

 

[Brick_By_Brick]

Yep. See, e.g., Saban, Nick.

I think you can point to the huge gap left by Darrell Taylor. He was double teamed very often last year and we loved to blitz off his hip specifically out of the slot.

Y’all golfers need to take up a real hobby like hunting...

How about both ?

still though. A highly touted DC as your head coach. Current DC knows his system. And players that have been in the system for 2 years now. No progression at all. There shouldn’t be Basic errors like this.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

I really just want to fast forward to whatever decision is made so I can homer mcfanboy my way into thinking whatever it is is the right decision.

Preaching to the choir. It doesn’t add up. Especially in the secondary. That was our most experienced and talented returning unit.

The edge blitzes have been there they just don’t get home. I bet we ran 5-8 of them against A&M and they were picked up every single time.

Gauge, Cersei and The Dog, yeah, View attachment 333180I'm high

Why did you put that nipple ring on your eyebrow

 

[Dudleys87]

@Ron Swanson,

Wouldn’t have made some sense to fight to keep Friend if Pruitt were coming back? Hes had the same resume for the last couple years so a renewal shouldn’t have been out of question.
