Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[mr.checkerboards]

This year we had ridiculous contract tracing which didn’t allow us to practice as a team.

No we have inept coaches

 

["It's Time"]

I’m not sure how many more times the football gods are going to look at Tennessee and say “Hey, how many more proven football coaches do we need to let you choose from before you fire that bum you’ve got?”

 

[volbeast33]

Considering Knoxville has the highest number of cases per capita in the whole USA, I wouldn't count on spring practice

Well we can’t blame the coaches if they can’t work with the team.... hopefully the vaccine going out will make a difference..... we pushed this back to virus.... that’s our own fault.

 

[volbeast33]

No we have inept coaches

I don’t have confidence in them either but what are you expecting if they are not allowed around the players.

So we have now reached the point in Pruitt's tenure that he is hiring as a favor. In case he is one day the has-been position coach that can't keep a job and needs a quick check with a fat buyout. Cool cool cool cool

We haven’t hired anyone

All of these SEC teams with losing records are beating ranked ACC and BIG teams. Who would have thought.

Ole Miss needs to leave the kicker at the stadium.

Northwestern waves hello.....

Guys relax. They are on holiday break. They will tackle all these issues other programs are proactively addressing when they get back.

1. They could meet on zoom and go over coverages and the mental aspect of the games.
2. Could still coach players through workouts.
3. Actually coached their freshman instead of whining and crying about contact tracing.
Literally every school in the country had to deal with COVID. Tn fans are just the only one stupid enough to believe its why their team was bad.

Any chance Chaney could go to OL and hire Yurchich as OC? Or at least bring Yurchich in as QB coach?

4.Pruitt canceled practice so they could PROTEST, during a PANDEMIC

This probably won’t be a popular opinion because I also think we should take the best players wherever they are, but...

I think UNC might be the blue print we’re looking for to spring board us back to relevance. Recruit our state hard in this ‘22 class. Put all the eggs in that basket.

Not sure this admin wants to spend that kind of money. IMO we will hire a bunch of cheap guys and then just fire all their sorry asses in mid November after looking like an FCS school. Phil steps down and we start from ground zero for the thousandth time. We then hire either McGoogle or an old veteran like we did with Barnes and basketball.

Chaney will not take a move down to position coach.

5. Pruitt gave up on his 5* QB after one practice because he wasn't perfect.

 

[rekinhavoc]

I want to believe a guy like Herman would move the needle on replacing the gump.

Maybe Yurchich will come for cheaper on this contract since he will be getting some of the buyout money from Texas?

Or do what Coach O did and watch all the kids transfer.

 

[Skizer41]

He is never right about anything either..... he just wants him gone but still sounds like their is a chance

He doesn't act like he's an insider though either.

Its not. You are 100% correct, another major Pruitt mistake was ignoring the in state talent because he thought he could get the horses from GA and FL.

 

[Skizer41]

So Freeze is untouchable but we can hire this jack@$$. Sounds about right

 

[quadlee21]

Oh wait Herman firing means Yurcich is available!

He has now worked with - Gundy, Day, and Herman.

Dude would be an encyclopedia of the best offenses in the game. Pruitt has already interviewed him before, so there is some connect there. Please for god's sake go get him.

Only problem is Gump won’t leave whoever he hires alone. As long as he is micromanaging everything it isn’t going to matter who he hires

I have spoken with different people today but everything seems quiet. I expect tomorrow to be the same. Will see what early next week brings.
