Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Leopold is intriguing but ultimately I think this comes down to someone with ties to the South. I think Freeze is a nonstarter and I think that's wrong. I would like to see them avoid the NFL route. Steele would be a letdown but not a disaster IF the right OC came. Think you are looking at Kiffin, Chadwell, Brown, Herman, maybe Bill Clark.

 

[BearCat204]

Yeah, they've got eternal beef with Fulmer. Oh well!

Yeah, but why we protect Fulmer is beyond me. That circus of a press conference yesterday was nothing more than a pity party to babble about Fulmer. If they say Pruitt should be fired for cause because he is ultimately responsible for his coaches, why does that responsibility not reach to Fulmer? Because he is fat and jolly and he won a title a couple of decades ago?

 

[volfaninpa]

Glad they left Pal's out of this mess.

They'd better not bring John Fulkerson into this mess!

 

[VOL6479]

lol Basilio just said that Pruitt had a ledger indicating who got what and where. Great job coach.

That sounds like smu back in the day.

 

[FranklinVFL]

No offense to anyone here, but the "What if the guy we hire is super successful and tries to leave" people can shove it up their cornhole. I would love to have that problem right now. I would revel in it.

Oh, offense to anyone who actually verbalizes those words...we heard that after Dooley (leave for GA), Butch (ND, Mich, Mich St, etc), and Pruitt (Alabama).

Right now, I would just love to have a coach that gets interest from another P5 team...let's just try to be successful enough to have to give a coach raises and extensions to keep all the other teams away. Haven't had to worry about that since......well.......uh.........

 

[InstrumentalVol]

Go get Mark Ingram, who rebuilt UAB and a TON of money to UT when he was here, and bring in Kiffin. Lets win, put the nightmare behind us.

Let the man have a dignified send-off. It's clear he was fired whether they call it that or not. It's the right thing to do.

 

[CAVPUT]

Any reciprocal interest?

That's the important part. I'd be floored if either Freeze or Kiffin get so much as a glance.

 

[quadlee21]

I got to admit I am disappointed in @Kingston Vol right now. He usually has a short list of off the wall arena league candidates that we have never heard of before.

 

[RiotVol]

That's a no, dawg.

 

[BearCat204]

Disagree 100%. Don't sit up there and say you are firing a guy for cause who was responsible for these coaches who committed these infractions while taking absolutely no blame yourself.

 

[SoilVol]

Needed Wendy's tweet: "When ordering at our stores in East Tennessee. Request a bag. They're sometimes filled with cash."

 

[volsnvikes]

I would like to announce after much thought and reading this unauthorized biography of Tom Herman I am officially off the Herm Worm.

I will not be taking interviews. Respect my decision. Choose Joy.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

lol Basilio just said that Pruitt had a ledger indicating who got what and where. Great job coach.

*So who was UT's Andy Dufresne?

 

[Jimmy Football]

I got to admit I am disappointed in @Kingston Vol right now. He usually has a short list of all the wall arena league candidates that we have never heard of before.

Nah, circumstances have just moved us far enough down the list to where our lists and his list are starting to match up.

Liepold’s resume reminds me of Mike Houston’s. Success has not translated to the next level for him as yet.

 

[butchna]

LOLOLOLOLOL Pruitt deserved another year!??!?

Not his best effort.

Did gilbert hire him?

Because he is well loved by most the staff at UT, fans, & most importantly the boosters.

Zero gained from dragging Phil through the mud, he stepped in when we were at our lowest point and then when everything hit the fan he was willing to step away. Not forcing UT to fire him or explain anything as to why he’s gone.

lol good point

 

[Kingston Vol]

I got to admit I am disappointed in @Kingston Vol right now. He usually has a short list of all the wall arena league candidates that we have never heard of before.

My lists have been far more valid than 99% of the **** that gets thrown around in here.

Kevin Steele and Jamey Chadwell - those are the two candidates right now. Everything else is conjecture.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Galilee on team meeting last night -

Kiffin and Freeze are the best shots!!

 

[SpringBokVol]

I hate the list I have going in my head

 

[BogeyVol]

Not that I care a ton about it, but media here in Alabama is absolutely murdering UT right now and especially Fulmer lol. Shocking to noone, they are making out Pruitt as the innocent guy and Fulmer as the main culprit.

Yeah, had to turn JOX off this morning. Cole Cubelic was really getting on my nerves. Never mentioned it was two dumbass former Bammers, Niedermyer and Pruitt, that brought in this recruiting "system". Doubt very seriously they came up with it on their owm... SMH
