Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Catbone]

What type of violations are fake classes for athletes and payments to players in the hundreds of thousands of dollars?

DENYYYYYYYYY

 

[SmokinBob]

Screw the NCAA. They did nothing to NC. Nothing to LSU. We fired 9 people. We’ve handled this. They better not try and do crap to us

May even have legal payments or benefits to players by then. Hard to punish past discrepencies when it becomes legal at a later date. We would be grandfathered..lol

Does Tennessee boosters get their money back from To'o To'o?

 

[Batman1948]

Okay. I’m not going to get on here and bicker.
Question.. Depending on how far back they looked into Pruitt with these violations do you think we see the NCAA start to snoop other programs like Bama, UGA?

I don't think the SEC wants the NCAA to start looking at the member recruiting practices. Everybody cheats to some degree but it appears Pruitt and company were off the charts stupid. My hope is the NCAA will give us the benefit of the doubt since we cleaned house rather quickly and just moves on. If we hire a squeaky clean coach, it may show them that we're serious about moving forward.

lulz at the people who didn’t see this coming and were a firm “we’ll be 8-4 next year, no doubt”

Might wanna think about hanging it up for a good 3 seasons, at least. We are I.R.R.E.L.E.V.A.N.T.

Kevin Simon being promoted to qb coach, that may help with To.

What? That has to be temporary. When has he been a QB coach? Unless you meant DB coach.

 

[butchna]

This one really sucks. New hire could get him to withdraw his name.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

If you wanted more assurance and reasons WHY we should not care about our reputation with the national media, and why we should hire a guy like Kiffin or Freeze, look no further than the BS spewed on 104.5 by Dennis Dodd and Bruce Feldman.

The national media HATES Tennessee. They will continue to clown our program and try their best to bury us deep with their angry tweets for as long as this Earth exists. It’s long past time we stopped trying to placate a group of people that will NEVER like us. Instead, maybe we should try winning football games and pleasing the fanbase.

It’s the biggest sin of the university—trying to make hires that will one day make us look good in the eyes of the blue checks.

Feldman ripped us to shreds and spat in our face. Why we try to get people like him to like us rather than just hire the best coach will never make sense to me....

Wait, who?

 

[volfaninpa]

I guess Kevin Simon possibly being hired wasn't enough to keep Henry T. I bet he goes where Niedemeyer goes so he can continue to be developed by the best linebacker coach in the country.

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

Of course we would have to fire our HC the first year of "one free transfer" is planned to go through. We may have no OT and no ILB's on the team. This rule needs to be revisited.

You have threatened us with this before. I don't believe you for one second that you would leave. You have no creds left. LOL

 

[VolInDayton]

This is what the FU money wanted

 

[90 Vol]

So help me...if we get hit hard by the NCAA we need to sell out anybody and everybody. Let the media know what Bama And Georgia have been up to. We handled the situation from a PR standpoint about as good as you can. We fired 9 or 10 people. There is no reason that we should get hit hard by sanctions.

This. If we get hammered...

 

[butchna]

Wait, who?

What’d I say?

 

[jave36]

Ouch. That hurts the most. Our program is soooo far away from being good again.

 

[volfaninpa]

This is what we wanted

No, we all wanted Pruitt and Fulmer to keep doing what they were doing and completely demolish the entire program.

Come on.

 

[snowvols]

This is what we wanted

He was probably only here for one more year anyway. He could have spent it here going 5-7 with Pruitt.

 

[HankHill]

You wanted Doug Marrone to be our coach.

Marrone has had way more success than Kiffin has had as a head coach and assistant coach. He also got the ball rolling downhill here. If you can’t win at USC, you’re not a good coach.
