Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[gordonr24]

Now is the time to announce Pruitt’s firing. Because the media is focused on Texas.

 

[Vols4us]

This was always the outcome for Kiffin. Pursuing him would’ve been an exercise in futility. Dude wasn’t leaving after one year again..

Lane Kiffin, Ole Miss agree to multi-year contract extension

Kiffin matured. That's what going through tough times of your own making teaches you if you listen. Talented guy.

 

[shocker]

The university has proven easy hire with Tom Herman if they wanted to improve our team...not sure what excuse Fulmer has left at this point

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Herman would kill it at the real UT.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Bring me Herman as OC. Steele as DC then I would consider being positive about Pruitt.

 

[Volfanatic_20]

Herman is also a safe hire. No risk like with Freeze. He's an offensive coach. He knows how to score points. He can recruit. He has major head coaching experience. While he didn't win a championship, he did really well at Texas. Maybe he learned enough there to improve and really take us somewhere here. I'm all in. Even though it isn't going to happen.

Hire him now. Can probably get him pretty cheap too.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I think Herman is a bit overrated but if Fulmer doesn’t go after Freeze, Campbell, Fickell, then I’d be all for Herman.

Anyone but freaking Skoal Can.

Doubtful. Not like he was facing elite teams in the BIG12. And he had more resources and better recruiting classes at Texas. Not saying he couldn’t win us 7-8 every year tho

 

[tnvols72]

Uh oh.

Please come and hire cornbread

 

[Girth Brooks]

This place is more bipolar than a nuthouse. Maybe that’s why I like it so much.

Does this news mean that coaching search season is back in full swing?

I’ll go on and say it, if/when we make another hire, our floor should be at the caliber of Herman, and nothing less.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Don’t want to hear anything else about this being a bad money year. The money is there.

 

[goooooovols]

I think Herman is a bit overrated but if Fulmer doesn’t go after Freeze, Campbell, Fickell, then I’d be all for Herman.

Anyone but freaking Skoal Can.

Herman is more proven than all listed lol

 

[tnvols72]

I wonder if they caught a big time coach to come in? Didnt the AD just say Herman would be back about 2 weeks ago?

 

[jordan4vols]

Herman is 54-22 as a hc and they fired him and we have people on this board fine with 16-19

 

[SCvol333]

The default decision has always been to keep him. A few things could have changed that. None have happened.

I would think Tom Herman now being available would fit that category. A significant upgrade imo

 

[Johncarter53]

Tom Herman and yurcich would fix our offense problem. Wonder if mason, muschamp, or Steele would wanna work with him.

 

[Orange Studs]

They care a lot about being an elite program. It’s what the best of the best do.

Just to show the difference, we would kill for a 7-3 season.

 

[rekinhavoc]

These are the questions, aren't they? He has a lot of changes to make if he wants to take this team to the next level. I doubt he will. But it isn't impossible. If Salter is Fields good then this offense can take off.

I worry about what he is going to promise a transfer QB and can that transfer QB pick up Chaney's quadratic formula offense.

So the AD said the coach would be back 2 weeks ago???

 

[SLICKYINC]

I’m not a Herman fan at all but he’s an upgrade for sure.

Sark

 

[SLICKYINC]

So the AD said the coach would be back 2 weeks ago???

In a definitive statement.

 

[BruinVol]

So the AD said the coach would be back 2 weeks ago???

Yep and that’s why ADs need to stfu

I’m proud of fulmer for how he’s handled this in that regard

 

[SweetasSoda]

Nobody is fine with that. Just nothing we can do about it.
