Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I’d rather keep Chaney and fire Pruitt.

Disagree

Firing Herman is such classic Texas and we should pounce just like we did with Rick Barnes. Their mistake helped turn us into a basketball powerhouse.

Kansas got Crushed by #8 Texas. If we win tonight we may be top 3.

 

[UT4LIFE86]

Texas just blew out Kansas in b ball ...

 

[mr.checkerboards]

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.

So, hes their Jimmy Hyams. Nice

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

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

Agreed. They aren't a "show network" but those games are a gold vein of revenue like no one else has in sports. They aren't struggling and are going to be even more powerful after 2024 in the SEC.

I don't like it but that kinda money infusion comes with strings.

Sarkisian would be a good hire for Texas but is he that much better than Herman? Sort of puzzling.

Sarkisian has looked better than I can remember him ever looking....wonder if it has anything to do with coaching 5 star athletes 3 deep or if he has really improved that much?.....sounds familiar....I like Sark & hope he does well

#2 Baylor is in a tight one with Iowa State too.

Is it sad that I’m not as excited about this as I should be?

Yes.

and it was a road game

Home court has never meant less in hoops

Mizzu blowing out Arkansas at Arkansas

 

[gordonr24]

Yes.

Apathy is real

 

[Deebowbear]

Sounds like a real possibility Tee will be following Sark to Texas. Unclear in what capacity.

. Good hope they all go

Kiffin trying to get more points with 40 seconds left in half...imagine that

 

[Batman1948]

Texas must have received their stimulus check

 

[Vols2DaWall]

I'm effin pumped that Arik Gilbert may come to UT. Bring him and Herman and I'm stoked

 

[RiotVol]

Dude. Who posted about Pruitt selling a plan and mentioning difference-making transfers?

 

[yourstruly23]

BRAVO

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Hmmm. I know a coach that thinks that's illegal

I think that was from Bob Vols. But its kinda been the theme with AP and BH as well.

I watch the games on their channel.....!use to have it on all the time..... I hate that their programming got so bad.

 

[BeecherVol]

Jeremy Pruitt has won 47% of his games.

Tom Herman has won 70% of his games.

Herman got fired because he was losing to teams that he had substantially out recruited, and rarely beat OU who he fields similar talent to.

Its not really a question of whether he's better by winning percentage (you can find several of those) but rather how that equates from Texas to UT in recruiting and schedule.

Its hard to believe he could fail at Texas with those resources and an easier schedule but come here and even equal what got him fired there.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Ole Miss is going to be really scary next season

 

[MemphisVol3]

I think that was from Bob Vols. But its kinda been the theme with AP and BH as well.

IF Pruitt is staying and Chaney is as well, he needs to allow Chaney to run a modern offense. Pruitt still needs to clean up the defensive side of the ball/staff too.
