Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[MrVolton]

I think if Pruitt is let go, Steele will be the interim for this next season. If he does well, he’ll have that tag removed. If not, they’ll have a year to find a replacement. It’s too late in the process to be looking for a legitimate guy IMO.

Bye bye ‘22 class.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Yet you replied to it. Thanks a lot Cosmo.

My opinion isn’t worth according to my wife. Lol

 

[DarthVol1]

I will predict that if it is Chadwell, everyone will be ready to run through a wall after he speaks to the fan base a few times. He is that good at getting folks motivated.

 

[Jackcrevol]

If we’ve not liked not knowing what’s going on for a couple of weeks just imagine a year of an interim coach. Trying to recruit would be terrible. Hopefully they have something lined up.

we're all sitting here acting like its a dun deal.

Pruitt is going to be our head coach for at least another year, if not 2.

...i hope i'm wrong.

We couldn’t recruit. Only kids we would sign would be too stupid to realize that the program is run by a bunch of potatoes.

This is sad:

"Reggie McKenzie is a past NFL Executive of the year ... He doesn't get contacted when we have openings. Charles Davis wears his Tennessee pride literally on his sleeve yet has told me that he would love to offer a hand in finding a coach yet his opinion has never been sought."

Millionaires and humility don’t usually go together. Which is why no advice is ever sought.

Yeah, he does. Fulmers dumba$$ signed a contract stating there is no offset. So we will be paying him barring anything coming from this investigation for cause.

WTH is Fulmer and UT Administration signing off in a no offset clause? If true this is more evidence they are dumbasses and more inept than I thought possible.

then in 3 years are running him out.

I mean hell everyone here was watching pregame speeches of Pruitt two months ago and running thru walls for him. Im
Sure you are correct

 

[ACvol3]

Freeze is waiting on that phone call.

This coaching search could have ended weeks ago if we just went that route.

SMH.

What coaching search?

By far the best choice is they won’t hire Freeze

 

[VolFreakJosh]

What coaching search?

I refuse to believe Pruitt stays for another year.

Omg i new it

Can’t believe they don’t ask poor boys like me. Lol

Seemed like some folks were already ready to give Dooley an extension at his introductory PC just because he said britches.

 

[engineerVOL]

He’s ruined it forever. I don’t even like Phil anymore he doesnt deserve as much credit for the National Championship as he gets. The program was built and stable he just walked into it and underachieved with the best QB of all time. He’s done more harm than good.

You need to take a break, my man.

 

[KB5252]

I’ve never heard that... I’ve actually heard the opposite

I don't know if it's true or not. Just the rumor I've heard. Either the SEC had said no, or programs don't trust him to run a program the right way it think he's that great of a coach..... Those are the only explanations.

 

[HankHill]

Yep. Marrone would be a very hard sell to the fans. With Jamey, fans would latch on.

Chadwell is too risky imo. I think you have to go highest floor with this hire. You can’t whiff again after you fire Pruitt.

The Tony Basilio Show

 

[Deebowbear]

Soooooooo why did we just hire Kevin Steele?

To be head coach it sounds like damn

 

[BruinVol]

Yep. It doesn’t matter who we hire. This board will love the presser

 

[tnhunter 10]

Freeze
Lane

Herman


Chadwell


Everyone else

 

[KPT_VFL]

Freeze is the only candidate most fans would give any time. All the other coaches unproven and would be annoying and under achieving by year 3 and you all know it. Freeze has won in this league and beat our used to be biggest rival. He’s the only one option if you truly want to give a coach “five years” or to “stabilize the program” because fans would be willing to give a guy like that more time than an unproven dude from some no name school. It’s the easiest hire they’ve ever had in front of them and their egotistical maniac who think they’re too good for it. Nobody in the past 3 years has brought up Freeze past. Hell they have him prime time during the national title game. We are an embarrassment to the folks who built this program except Phil who’s running it into the ground.

 

[MrVolton]

You know the shortlist is gonna be Steele, Chadwell, and Marrone. You guys hoping for anybody but Marrone better be careful what you wish for.

Tennessee brass isn’t very color friendly lol
