Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[yourstruly23]

I admit I’m a game day NFL guy, I don’t follow any team specifically, but I’m surprised at all these college guys getting looks for NFL jobs.

Seems out of the ordinary.

Get some new blood in the game besides the constant revolving door of retreads

Its a lazy excuse. There are still 100 ways of making your team better. Coaches who use this as an excuse are just looking for a way to cover their own ass because they aren't good coaches.

It's been said Pruitt didn't even think the season would happen and seemingly prepared like it. The guy is not a CEO type. He's Dwight. Great at a lower position, but put him in charge and he fires off a gun inside the office.

Calm down Ms. Pruitt.

Nah just not emotional like most on here..... I’m fine with moving on but it’s not all lost if he comes back bc those issues he faced are facts whether people want to understand or not.

You guys are, quite perplexingly, applying UT decision-making logic to actual, real life, currently successful football programs that compete for a National Championship on a yearly basis.

They would never.

UT? Sure, sounds about right. Roll the dice and hope for the best.

I'm out on Gus, but I'd give Herman a chance. It's not like he utterly failed at Texas. And guys already at top programs are not leaving those programs for UT. Anyone we hire would be a crapshoot.

It’s funny to watch them warm up with those things before games. They look like samauri lol. It’s pretty entertaining

Some sort of sensory thing for their hands?

I do trust local writers. Chip Brown is the Brent Hubbs for Texas. He’s been there for a long time.

Chip Brown was all over it. David Pollack, per usual, is FOS.

OSU would have the easiest hire ever in Fickell. Wouldn't miss a beat.

That would be interesting, considering they passed him up after naming him interim HC for a year before hiring Urban. I don’t know it’s quite that simple.

 

[Weezer]

Lol if you thought we were going to get any “good” assistants

You're miserable. We get it. Why don't you just go back to being miserable in silence? I liked you better then.

 

[HankHill]

I would donate my next paycheck if we may a change

It’s used for stretching. It’s kinda violent how they do some of the stretches They like jolt them around and stuff lol. I love watching it if I go to a game

Harbaugh about to be extended at Michigan. Stay tuned for UT to announce another extension for CJP not to be outdone.

You said “some here” so you brought UT into the discussion.

Ohio State probably won’t be looking unless Day heads to the NFL. And I definitely think if Herman is available they wouldn’t be shy about interviewing him. Doubt he’s high on their list with Campbell & Fickell both being Ohio guys, but there’s no reason not to interview/talk to successful candidates who don’t have buyouts to deal with. Gus & Herman both are career 66%+ winning percentage coaches and have experience in the power 5.

I think any program with an opening should at least interview the guys, neither has even had a losing season.

 

[Devo182]

It was reported before the season started...... Pruitt was complaining about it all the time and that was before the season.... not after a rough year..... it was also fact that a few scrimmages were cancelled for that reason and why they did freshman/sophomore scrimmages on Sunday nights during the season to catch younger guys up.

That's why it definitely hurt us starting the season, which is why we lost our first few games. But once we got to practicing in-season, it wasn't a factor and we went on our winning streak.

 

[quadlee21]

I wonder who is the favorite to be Bamas next OC ?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Please hire Day and send OSU into a tailspin. Then we just need to get Dabo hired in the NFL and Saban retired. Down with the College Football World Order.

OSU isn't going to a tail spin. Fickell will take them and roll.

For UT, yes Herman is a viable and solid candidate.

For OSU, no.

Gotcha. I have one of those deep tissue massagers but these don’t look like that.

New rumors about lawyer group dealing with investigation and not allowed to hire assistants again.

Who is saying it?

 

[USMCVOLFan24]

 

[mr.checkerboards]

That is all they can do....no lifting weights..... no cardio.... no working on timing..... no getting use to the spend of the game....do you think you could watch videos and be ready against teams that have went full throttle in practice especially when the difference between success and failure is so small in the sec?

Yep, hurt so bad that they won their first two games then the team got worse as the season continued. Boy sure wish they could've practiced more so they could've went 1-9. It did so much good.

 

[Batman1948]

Lots of schools had players walk out of practices

Yes, but that doesn't fit the narrative for those still trying to get Pruitt fired
