Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Bassmaster_Vol]

That press release makes me believe that Pruitt is indeed coming back. Any chance Chadwell replaces Chaney?

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

WW2 offense

Hank with all the news today, are you still confident that Pruitt will not be HC next season?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Nah.... I will be right here watching Pruitt kick lanes a$$.

Lol. You think we come close to beating Ole Miss?

 

[volbeast33]

next year? Good luck they will score 40 plus. You think we got 40 in that state of the art offense? Asking for a friend.

Yeah I think we can..... give Bailey an off season( if we get one) and Tennessee’s offense can’t look entirely different.

 

[SweetasSoda]

The only toxic environment is this board, the ball team is fine.

Did you say the ball team is fine?

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Dude I laughed so hard. They will put up near 50 on us and pruitt with his world war 2 offense will be lucky to score 17.

Ha. That's a good one. Kudos

 

[SLICKYINC]

The more I think about it the more I like the Steele hire. But come on UT, they seriously just announced him a generic defensive assistant kinda like Pruitt letting kids play where they want because, football player.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

Yeah cause that's why Bailey's Dad come out and said Pruitt is the reason Harrison is at UT! Not that I support retaining him but just saying your thinking may be flawed a lil based on his comments.

I like bailey. His best chance to succeed in football is not at tennessee. His dad will sing a different song if salter starts over bailey. That's a fact.

That press release makes me believe that Pruitt is indeed coming back. Any chance Chadwell replaces Chaney?

Why would he take a step down?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Pruitt's only hope is to find a Joe Brady type to come rescue the offense

Highly unlikely

 

[Devo182]

Anyone else more afraid of what the Steele hire means than optimistic it is just a benign defensive staff hire?

 

[SpringBokVol]

Official

And to me, it is key that it says, Pruitt Names Kevin Steele Defensive Assistant Coach

 

[MrVolton]

If Pruitt is back, he’ll be fired next season and Steele named interim.

The only positive about this is that I should be way more productive with less energy spent on caring about Vols Football.

 

[FiremedicVOL127]

I like bailey. His best chance to succeed in football is not at tennessee. His dad will sing a different song if salter starts over bailey. That's a fact.

I don't think Salter will start ahead of Bailey but what do I know I ain't a coach.

 

[DaddyChad]

Everything seems to be coming together about Pruitt being interviewed on Thursday.

Two days away from hot board season boys.

Sounds like our hot board ain’t that hot if we’ve already hired Steele.

 

[Dudleys87]

If we’re stuck we’re stuck. I just hold out a sliver of hope that his offense finds itself again next season

 

[SpringBokVol]

If Pruitt made the Steele hire then it's all but certain he isn't going anywhere.

Awesome.

"Kevin is someone I have respected and admired for a long time on and off the field," Pruitt said, "I had the opportunity to learn and work with him during our time at Alabama and our friendship grew from there. He has outstanding knowledge of the game and understands what it takes to be successful in this conference. Having coached under the great Johnny Majors, he has a sincere appreciation for what it means to be a Tennessee Volunteer. We are thrilled to welcome Kevin and Linda back to Rocky Top."

 

[mrmax86]

@Freak - Will the servers be able to handle traffic if this thing happens this week? Just making sure everyone is ready.

I miss when there was a line at the top of the page telling you how many users were online. That's how you knew @Freak was working OT or not.

 

[Dudleys87]

I don't think Salter will start ahead of Bailey but what do I know I ain't a coach.

It’ll prolly be hooker or Bailey maybe Maurer If he doesent leave.

 

[Souce]

What a chit show....

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Pruitt's only hope is to find a Joe Brady type to come rescue the offense

Lebby.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

I don't think Salter will start ahead of Bailey but what do I know I ain't a coach.

Just ask yourself, who should NOT start at qb next season? That is who pruitt will choose.

 

[BruinVol]

When the OL coach is hired then we know it’s time to get behind Pruitt.

if steele ends up being his DC I think that’s a good sign he’s learned he has to be a CEO
