Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[SLICKYINC]

He coached the WRs. Saban has used him as a position coach for 3 years and we have paid his salary. He worked with RBs the first 2 years. People can make fun of him but Saban used him to coach all 3 years

Here is what I know to be facts. He washed Sabans car, picked up his dry cleaning, ran coffee and was the printer chick.

Im just trying to figure out how:
1. Fulmer is going to get another chance to make a hire
2. How anyone in charge on the hill can sign off on hiring him as a HC, after the disaster Pruitt was.
(Assuming Pruitt get fired, which im still not completely convinced of)

Whoa Kyle Flood leaving Bama to go to Texas with Sark. Didn’t expect that.

Texas is very serious about winning. We are very serious about milking the last generation of Vol fans out of every penny for shizzz sandwiches.

I suppose they’ll owe Virginia at least one. But those are the terms.

I’d trade Georgia Nickajack lake for a couple of 5-stars per year for the foreseeable future.

[White Bread]

Serious buzz is 3 or greater verified Twitter accounts mentioning it. That kind of buzz?

Texas mods on their Rivals site.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Anyone else seeing that Pruitt is rumored to Texas for DC?

 

[gordonr24]

Pruitt to Texas. Herman to Tennessee.

I’d call it a fair trade.

 

[BruinVol]

I’m in Kentucky unfortunately

If there has ever been a time to be alive in Kentucky now the time......

ask em about hoops

Do tell

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I think we have two realistic choices that we should hope for, or else we're in big, big trouble.

Herman, who probably won't be hired because of his reputation for not getting along with boosters. And Chadwell, who may not be hired for lack of experience, or may be hired but have all the hands in the cookie jar forcing a staff on him if he does.

This is TN. We're going to bungle this thing and end up hiring either a loser with a losing record, or we're going to hamstring a winner like Chadwell

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Same. Does anyone else just not even dare open a recruit’s thread? I’m so far from where I was just a few years ago.

Haven’t opened one since before the UK game.

I don't even look to see who is there.

 

[orangesoda]

Only we would fire a 16-19 guy to hire a 9-37 guy.

Just when you think we couldn’t be any dumber....we redeem ourself

don’t you at least give fulmer a pass on the first hire under the circumstances?

I mean he eliminated Chad Morris which was correct and that left 3 rough choices, all assistants. It’s not like he hired Pruitt from a long and full search

He deserves a mulligan under the circumstances imo

 

["It's Time"]

Mike Roach from Texas 247:

Yes we have heard Pruitt’s name for DC I actually heard some strong buzz around it pending his separation from Tennessee but we hadn’t been able to verify enough to report it yet.

I know it’s extremely risky, but if this is true and I was in the administration. I would straight tell JP to go f*** himself and try to get your money. You don’t get failure money plus a cush landing spot.

This is the only two I see as hope.

What did the RB’s and WR’s coaches do in those seasons?

But not for the contract extension

We are UT. They are going to mess it all up. I've never been so sure of something. The incompetence is just baked into the their DNA

PLEASE!

 

[give_him 6]

Yes he does......it is over near the stadium.

 

[BruinVol]

But not for the contract extension

obviously in hindsight it was mistake but extensions are about recruiting more than anything. I don’t think that’s a mistake that is job threatening but a mistake nonetheless

No.
1. He gave Pruitt the undeserved contract extension, showing his inexperience
2. He doubled down for the longest on backing Pruitt, and potentially drug this thing out longer.
3. If Steele is the guy he plans on hiring, it proves he has not learned from his mistakes.

What did the RB’s and WR’s coaches do in those seasons?

Recruited, if you notice in games RBs and WRs are always talking to him. Everyone complains that he is always on TV and he is because the skill players always get sideline time and they are talking to him. People can criticize him and I wanted him gone, but his offense was good here for 3 years. Everyone says it was Dobbs, but he recruited Dobbs
