Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[HankHill]

If you believe our list will look similar to Auburn's, I think my preference, in order, would be:

Gus (obviously not on Auburn's list)
Chadwell
Neal Brown
Napier
Tony Elliot




Kevin Steele

I would take tony Elliot today.

 

[rjd970]

I think I’m for real out next year. We are destined to suck and I’m sick of getting blown out by Bama, UGA, and UF. I’m not interested in watching the same teams in the playoffs, again, either. I probably need a break from college football.

Something has got to give. It’s not fun nor interesting anymore.

 

[Dudley Smith]

In all fairness we haven't been very good in all but a handful of years since 02 so maybe he's right.

That doesn't make sense, a new coach = new contract and money for Sexton. Why would he work against his own interests when he knows we pay so well?

He should be giving us a discount at this point. How many hole punches do we have in our Sexton frequent customer card?

 

[govols24]

Like someone posted earlier, TB doesn’t know anything. It’s all conjecture from him. He just hopes his “gut feelings” are correct. Also, as stated earlier, he has no true inside sources. The only time he gets legit info is if someone is trying to stir up things.

This is a dumb take. You also completely contradicted yourself, so good job.

TB does a lot of great work for the community and a lot of the times that he’s been able to organized stuff like that is because he knows people at the university with deep pockets. He has legitimate inside sources whether you like it or not.

I would like to get a puppy for my son. I love dogs, had them all my life but they were outside dogs. I'm allergic to dogs. I want to get him one that we can keep inside. That means small and hypoallergenic. No shedding either. Also I would rather not spend $1000 on a dog. I've looked at yorkies but they seem expensive.

Suggestions?


Also, I'm not against a rescue but I need to be confident that it's a hypoallergenic breed.

My kids have had a golden doodle for 8 years.....best dog ever.

Hell I'd take Elliot Page

Sexton represents his clients not the schools. He needs to be seen as a man who gets air tight deals at top dollar, but also someone who supplies quality coaches and athletes.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Yeah, I'd make the trade if it were him or Pruitt.

Would just rather have someone with experience running a program.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

TB said that Sexton is urging Pruitt to not back down to UT. That doesn't make sense but seems to be pretty specific info to make up out of thin air.

Because Sexton wants his money

 

[HankHill]

I’d take the coach from blindside over both.

Does he know what asparagus is?

Usually anything mixed with a poodle is pretty good for allergies. Drawback is they are also usually ”yap” dogs.

 

[BAJAvol]

me either I hit a deer with my 4-runner back in November still haven't got it back yet. They gave me a little Ford Focus for a rental car and I hate that little thing.

I got ran off the road by someone texting and driving. Hit a pole. Truck went in on Nov 1st. Was supposed to get it back today but they called this morning to say it’ll be next week. For the 3rd week in a row

 

[Memphisvol87]

I’ll give you guys this. I don’t have the answers but I know the people that do. After the last coaching search, people were embarrassed. Look at auburn.. Tennessee is not repeating that mistake now matter how incompetent I and we think they are. They aren’t that dumb. Nobody is sharing anything of substance right now, which is also reported by the media. They are working on the best outcome for everyone right now and that’s all I do know. They aren’t shooting first and sorting it out after this time.

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

TB said that Sexton is urging Pruitt to not back down to UT. That doesn't make sense but seems to be pretty specific info to make up out of thin air.

Who would honestly know this kind of info other than Pruitt himself and Sexton? I'm calling bs on this one.

 

[Bigworm87]

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.

I completely understand. However, how in year 3 with multiple 2 year starters can we not get lined up. That's just bad coaching. Either dumb it down or find players who know where they need to be.

Covid vaccine tomorrow. I’m going to be a nice Zombie though.

Lol ya you’re right, let’s just stick with the narrative Pruitt is a meanie and nobody likes him

I get that everybody is mad and wants him gone. But some on here starting to sound like a scorned 5th grade girl.

It is disgusting...there isn't a person on this board that somebody out there hates and would say the same crap about them. Pruitt is human and he is like all of us...loved by some and hated by others.

Fulmer treated me, my brother and Dad like dogcrap one time...but looming back on that episode, it was right after a very crappy game that we almost lost that I am sure made him very ill and was just wanting to get home and not wanting to be bothered by us or anybody else.

I can't imagine the pressures of being a HC in the SEC, especially not at a place like UT, a longtime blueblood with a passionate but irrational, and very impatient fanbase...a place where you are trying to rebuild that program from nuclear ashes and people eat at you like a school of piranhas when you get bloodied.

He has to go, but I don't hate him at all.

Good post.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Sure...I agree, but honestly, what signs has he shown that point to this? Honestly.

Eight game winning streak for one...of course everybody hates when you bring that up..

I have 2 golden doodles. If from a breeder they’re expensive but one of mine came from a family that couldn’t handle her energy (which is dumb bc she’s a dog and needs exercise but I digress).

Also if you want non shedding for sure - look at pics and find a doodle with curlier hair. Much less likely to shed. Straight hair doodles will shed still.

I have allergies and 2 dogs, one of which sleeps in bed w me, don’t bother me at all.

Big blonde one is 80 lbs but smaller black one is 40 lbs. Both are great inside dogs.






I should add - they are F1B golden doodles. This means they’re a cross of a goldendoodle and a poodle. So even less likely to shed.

 

[CoachClick]

I’d take the coach from blindside over both.

I'd take this guy in a heartbeat:

 

[JohnnyD1024]

[jave36]

He wouldn't be the first to take a job and then change his mind. Maybe he just got what he considers a better offer.

Hard to make a case for South Alabama being a better program than ASU
