Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[PolkVol]

I just don't see Pruitt being fired...In my opinion(which is useless) Fulmer would have to go first... I mean if Fulmer is wanting to keep Pruitt soo bad, then the powers above him force him to fire Pruitt, that leaves a disgruntled AD... how would that work? (Maybe I'm wrong....)

 

[Jackcrevol]

He is not Sark or Butch no rehab needed.

Lol inbf what type of rehab did Botch need?

Narcissicm rehab

 

[SweetasSoda]

Just curious what makes you think "Texas can be so difficult" while you "can see him improving here?"

You think Texas is harder than TN? In schedule? In fan/booster support/expectation? What?

A rule of thumb would be: if you can't excel in a lesser conference, you likely won't even in a harder conference. Is that not logical?

He was training there. Besides right now we just want someone who can win all they are supposed to and give us a shot at the big 3 while recruiting the state. We don't have confidence in who we have or who we might could get except the 2 they are not going to go after.

 

[BruinVol]

Our win at mizzu looking even better now.
Mizzu pulling away at Arkansas right now. Good news

 

[orangesoda]

It does not matter who becomes available, Pruitt is our HC in 2021

He will improve to 5 wins in 2021...yay

 

[Dudley Smith]

Happiest man in America right now

My new nightmare

Mullen takes an nfl job, FL hires Herman

 

[Deebowbear]

FACTS. Pruitt can start his own coaching rehab. But like they teach him how to coach not the Saban way.

Don’t want pruitt as head coach no matter what period

 

[m1al]

If Sark is indeed the hire I fully expect Herman to go to Bama as the OC to rehab his image and Bama gets him for pennies on the dollar.

Didn't realize his image needed rehabbing...

Sources: Sarkisian to replace Herman as coach at Texas

Don't know if this it true but the timing is not good for Bama. OSU is probably licking their chops right about now thinking about this distraction before the game next week. All we need now is a Covid outbreak from either team.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Sark turned down Texas because he knows Saban is retiring next week and he will get the Bama job.

Fulmer will fire him next year. Writing is on the wall.

I'm a huge Fulmer guy. But, as Rawb stated and I agree emphatically...the most damning thing about Pruitts record was the lopsided losses. Even capn toolbag (Botch) didnt have those losses.

Couple with bungling roster mismanagement and inability to keep coaches, its over.

If Fulmer cant see this necks year, I will start tk agree with the Major's lovers.

 

[Dudley Smith]

I have heard the possibility of Brian Kelly to Texas

This is who I thought it would be when I heard Herman was fired given the timing. It's the Fog of War right now.

That would be awesome

Booster support and expectations. There’s a a whole pot full of Haslem level donors there. And they all want the ear of the coach and expect Daryl Royal results.

 

[seaofORANGE22]

There's a culture, in our fan base, that also needs to change. Unfortunately, I think that's gonna be impossible. People, who tend to be negative, are pretty much always gonna be negative. I'm an optimist and I try to see the good instead of the bad in everything. I don't know when UT will compete for championships again but trying to run off coaches every three or four years is probably not the way to get it done.

At some point you've got to hire a guy that gives us faith that he's capable of winning here. We haven't had that guy since they fired Fulmer.

It's not like any of the guys we fired are out there being great head coaches right now.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I have heard the possibility of Brian Kelly to Texas

Would be interesting. Kelly probably knows he will never get it done at ND. Not sure he could at TX either but its a change of scenery

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Also I wonder if the Sark situation is similar to Brohm and Sark backed out because he didn't want it released yet.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

No offense, but who gives a **** about ESPN anymore. They're in a tail spin

Tailspin? They just agreed to start flying a C-17 load of cash to the SEC in 2024 for TV rights.

That's not a tailspin.

 

[Dudley Smith]

It also may be because the guy who broke it is also famous for announcing that Texas was moving to the PAC-12, and Tom Herman was being hired by LSU.

Its the flagship in perhapsnthe richest state in Union. Cmon man.

We arent on same radar these days.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Maybe...just maybe.....


He doesn't like you

It’s highly possible

 

[volbeast33]

That's not a tailspin.

They do great with live programming but their regular shows have been struggling.... it’s why they laid so many people off.

 

[Batman1948]

Think about how highly Sark must be thought of as a coaching mind. HC for historic USC program, fall from grace, OC for best HC at historic Bama program, then HC for infinite-money historic Texas program.

Whether it works . But damn, people in the industry love this dude.

He was a hot mess at USC but people forget he was an alcoholic. He appears to have overcome that disease and turned his life around. Good for him. I always root for guys that can do that and still function in high stress positions.

that tailspin just got a tail wind with another SEC deal. When mother ship is Disney (who just announced another 40 marvel and star wars spinoffs), lol. They good.
