Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[mr.checkerboards]

Let's just say Pruitt does come back. What if he lucks his way into winning 8-9 games. What do we do?

Fire him anyways because he isn't the long term answer

 

[TN-POSSUM]

Ahh that's sweet, Price and Hyams are like peas and carrots.....

 

[reVOLution33]

I think that's what it comes down to, comfort and control. Fulmer doesn't want to make the same mistake that got him fired in 08 with the Clawson hire. He'll stick to what he's comfortable with and can control. It's why Freeze will never be a coach here with Fulmer as AD.

Is Pruitt not the head coach?

 

[Souce]

Health in mind, Meyer won't be 'nut' at practice

 

[mr.checkerboards]

well, you can do that when you have talent.

i do think with us bringing in salter and HH, there may be some hope for us having a bit more dynamic of an offense, scheme wise, than just letting a drop back passer get destroyed in the pocket.

not sure what the means for HB, cause i think he can be really good here, but i do like that we're going to have some options going forward.

we'll see what happens.

Things won't change with the offense unless the guy at the top changes his ideaology. I do think to a point Chaney was handcuffed to JG, but at the end of the day Pruitt is a defensive minded coach and he will never run a wide open offense.

 

[BruinVol]

As long as we can skip that whole Tyndall part.

I was speaking more of the last year on the court but yea I agree

Admin has been completely inept this entire time

When we say Admin - we really should say the boosters and the various puppets they yank around with promises of funds and/or threats of freezing them. That's why I'm so down right now. Admins can and have been replaced. Coaches can and have been replaced. Boosters and power brokers (the moneyed and/or politically influential)? We're stuck with billionaires who spend less on christmas gifts than your average grandma living on SSI checks. OM, State, and Arky are that poor granny that manages to land the hot Christmas item for their grandkid every year (OMG she found a ps5 when most of the world is convinced they're just a fairy tale). Our guys gave us 2 quarters to go play in an Arcade that hasn't existed in 20 years and even back then was charging $1.00.

Ohh. Now we are going to Palm Springs...

Sounds like Jeremy is rubbing off on them

I think is definitely a big defining moment for this program... Not being sarcastic, I truly think UT has fallen so far that until there is a completely new Admin and AD, this program will stay at the bottom of the SEC and continue to be irrelevant and flounder, while other traditionally lesser programs and current elite ones continue to work and rise (**see KY and OM). At this rate, we are going to blink and in two seasons, UT football will be an afterthought. It will truly be interesting to see if fans blindly continue to show up, support, and dish out hard earned money like sheep/robots while the UT Admin sits back and laughs... As long as JP is HC, this program will continue to fall. Elite and UT will not be used in the same sentence for a very long time, if ever at this point.

The only way that happens next season is if about 6 teams forfeit.... so no.

 

[m1al]

honestly, i'm almost glad i don't have to watch us trot out coach mcgoogle and watch us start over, again, and fail, again.

at least this time, we're actually doing the contrary thing. siap a while back....whatever it is we have normally done in this situation (that got us the likes of dooley, jones and pruitt), we should do the exact opposite.

well....i give you jeremy pruitt in season 4 as the exact opposite.

there's your ray of sunshine today.

I can't argue this depressing yet illogically logical logic (say that three times real fast)..

Pruitt is not the main problem with this program anyway... I'm becoming more convinced that only mother nature's brutal and inescapable justice will correct this.

Questions are; Does the program have that long? Does the sport itself have that long?

 

[Ten_Titans]

Rejoice. What is wrong with you. You have PDS, Pruitt Derangement Syndrome.

Rejoice at 8 wins . Damn they really got some of y'all.

They told Pruitt don't go to Tennessee. The expectations for year 4 in Tennessee can't be reduced.

"Nay!" said Pruitt. "I will be so bad in year 3 they will treat by first 8 win season in half of a decade as a national championship!"

I really feel like we have legit reached the point where the fans are done. Assuming everything goes back to normal this year I think the AD will really feel the hit financially, and it won’t be because people are still afraid of COVID, at least not the majority.

 

[volinbama256]

forgot to mention....

we'd immediately be looking at that 22 class and how we closed there. he wins 8 or 9 games and closes that class strong...i think you could move forward w/no problems, at least in terms of having an issue with retaining him due to performance issues.

the problem for him is his margin for error is thin....really thin.

he'll always be 1 bad loss away from a "see told ya".....

Sorry man, but we're not getting any of those studs, you guys need to flat drop that type of thinking... why would they come here?

 

[VolFreakJosh]

@Catbone used to annoy me but looking back, he had every right to be negative about the football team.

It just took longer for some of us to realize it.

 

[tssumners]

Ohh. Now we are going to Palm Springs...

This is the plane you should be tracking.

Buddy choose logic.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Dumbest administration and set of boosters in the entire country if Pruitt is back

We'll be saying that after the hire they make too

 

[volinbama256]

looks like the only thing left at UT to get excited about is Men's Basketball, Baseball, Softball, and Swimming/Diving.... Not sure about where we are right now with Tennis and Soccer...

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

We have made it through when the usual news dump occurs, and we still have nothing. Amazing how incompetent the Tennessee administration is.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Man....what a mess

 

[MEDVOL]

Any speculation if Pruitt would try to recruit HT to his new job?
