Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[VolInDayton]

The floodgates are open, no leadership on this team. I expect another 7-10 players to be in the transfer portal by Friday. Good thing we have a interm coach that has no relationship with the players to convince them to stay.

We’re not.... but love the mindset

We’re not.... but love the mindset

This young man is who we should want, and need, representing TENNESSEE Football!

 

[tnhunter 10]

Does anyone work? I mean I'm a federal employee and I'm 100 pages behind.

 

[Rizzo924]

We are idiots for causing this mess. Only at Tennessee do we self investigate to get rid of our coach to avoid a buyout. When has a school ever done this? No big name is going to Come here because of this. Should of paid his buy out and moved on. We will never learn from our mistakes

It wasn’t done because of the buyout. It was to get Fulmer out.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

omg... they might even go out and pay a **** ton of money to get Herman here.
He couldnt do it with more in a weaker conference.
Herman would fail miserably here.
I just.... im starting to simply not care.

 

[Blake25p]

Won 3 games with em we can win 3 games without em.

 

[Smokeytom]

Maybe I’m just crazy, but I still feel confident we’re going to make a solid hire this time.

 

[GVol1966]

This Kevin Steele experiment to bridge the gap is working out really well. What a sh!t show. Keep this up and ill probably enter the damn portal.

Fulmers last blunder of incompetent management!

 

[SLICKYINC]

I really feel like you think the Chancellor is not very smart.

Have you ever seen another chancellor hold a press conference and throw the whole school under the bus like that?

 

[Memphisvol87]

Need these players to stick around in school and at least give the new guy a chance.

I mean I hate to say it, but how many of these kids really matter if they allowed us to win 3 games. Nothing, I mean absolutely nothing, about the team this year makes me sad to move on from. I don’t care who leaves and we have all walk ons. We better hire a really good coach this time and then figure it out from there. I don’t care who flashed or played decent. Nobody on this team played dominant or consistently turned heads. For every play gray made, he made a head scratcher. Toots looked like a half speed version of the freshman, all of these five star linemen played like pansies.

 

[Jimmy Football]

I really feel like you think the Chancellor is not very smart.

I think he’s being too hard on her, but he’s 100% right this could have been done better.

 

[pierce60]

I'm so embarrassed to be a fan of this program. Just one big national punchline

If this legitimately embarrasses you then you need to find something else to invest your time in. In the grand scheme of things this is not that important.

[butchna]

Did you retweet this, Oda? Don’t know if I’m following the right chick.

 

[volbeast33]

I don't think anybody here understands the ramifications of that. Recruiting is going to nosedive.

I have never seen it work out well when a school turns themself in like we did.

 

[Hollovol05]

No words.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

At this point if Fleck wants the job then bring him on .

 

[ThisIsTheYearVol]

Does anyone work? I mean I'm a federal employee and I'm 100 pages behind.

No we are fresh into an AD/HC search. No work is being done.

 

[Kingzport]

Im fine with Herman or Chadwell. I think the Chadwell fit may be worth the added risk with a very high ceiling. With the Def. staff Steele can put together we may have something to build with.

Absolutely. It has to happen quick though.. No one wants to sit on the back burner and wait to see if anyone else wants the job and be the fall back plan...

 

[UT4LIFE86]

Don’t know what it’s like to be in the players shoes , but life is tough ... u just don’t quit when things get rough !!! Well I can’t play next year because I took money .... actions have consequences !!!! If u wanna pack up and quit .. get lost that’s how we are where we are !!! LOSER MENTALITY

 

[engineerVOL]

LA’s right about a lot of it, but from what I’ve learned, it was probably headed this way regardless. Too much paper trail, too many in the loop on what we were doing, and WAY too many people with axes to grind regarding Pruitt.

Plowman publicly executed us.

If the NCAA hammers UT, it's because our Chancellor handed them far more than they would have ever found on their own. The NCAA is understaffed, overburdened and lacks the manpower to dig deep and cast a wide net. They're set up to enforce, not investigate, and have a huge backlog that lets a lot of things slide under the radar. But when you serve up your transgressions on a silver platter, with all the evidence organized and triple-checked, the NCAA tends to look a lot closer and make you a higher priority. If you really want to pique their interest, you invite NCAA reps to ZOOM in on meetings where you present evidence that nails you, followed by a presser where leadership emphasizes how serious, shocking and widespread your violations are.

Other schools avoid, delay, divert and deny deny deny, forcing the NCAA to allocate resources they don't have to prove things that take a lot of time, effort and evidence to prove, which the NCAA isn't all that keen to do. All while the school continues to do what they do. See LSU, Auburn, Bama, UGA, etc. etc.

 

[Dudley Smith]

Another relevant post from Stoerner Fumbles

One final observation, Nieds, Probst and Pruitt allegedly had a nickname known by Saban, Kirby, Garner, M Stoops etc. When Pruitt bought JJ, who might not have been as good as billed, my friend heard the line “No honor among the North Alabama Shithouse Rats” from a competing coach. He heard that expression many times after. Gotta love it. North Alabama Shithouse Rats. That’s where we’ve been.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Sounds like they’re going all in on someone. My guess would be Campbell.

Seriously...if they end up with Campbell out of this mess, it would absolutely blow my mind...I would never doubt Plowman and Boyd again.
