Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[DustyRockSolid]

Pruitt's coaching ability had nothing to do with why he failed.
Again if you're going to be negative, why are you even here?

Why do you constantly question why people are here if they say anything negative about this scenario?
If thats all youre gonna do, just ignore us. Problem solved.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

If your going to be so negative why even follow the program? Elliott is nothing like the last 4 hires. He is actually a good coach with the personality to be a HC.

Because we've been experimenting at UT for 13 years now and where had that gotten us? People are tired of it, no offense to Elliott but now is not the time for a fringe hire that you hope it works out

 

[UTSuave’]

I’m going to be so disappointed if this new AD trots out Tony Elliot...

Same!...I mean kiffin and freeze are out there...the floor is chadwell and Campbell both are HC’s which what is needed.I’m tired of OC/DC experiments..we have a high possibility of being here again in 3 or 4 years.

 

[TennSam]

Pick one.

Chadwell or Elliott

Chadwell

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

If it’s Tony.... . Cannot wait to start following recruiting.

Tony Bologna? Asking for Volnation. Lol

 

[Jackcrevol]

Yall think Danny White is going to make it that easy for people to find out...

this team relies too heavily on pons. and didn't use its bench. it shows.

 

[bigpayday312]

Guarantee you that when the new coach is announced, a lot of people here are gonna think its not fun anymore.

You’re right! You can’t make everyone happy about everything. We all know someone would find a problem if we brought in General Neyland himself.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Chadwell

all day

 

[Ten_Titans]

Vandy basketball is a mess! You hate to see it

Lmao. You know it's bad when the fans are being more mature on Twitter than the coach.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Auburn used Parker too, and had a bunch of reports from national media about the candidates. It was all BS. Keep that in mind when/if people start “turning down the job”.

Lol

 

[mrmax86]

I don’t like James Franklin. I don’t trust his character.

 

[Ashevolle]

That’s like asking “why live in America if you hate it’s politics so much?” I’m stuck here

You're stuck on VN? How does that work?

P5 coaches don't jump jobs. Elliott is a good hire.

 

[Deebowbear]

Reminder

Yeah its looking like it NOT

This ^^^

I agree with the sentiment, but the other side of the coin is a coach who doesn’t know how to manage elite talent. That’s a big part of what makes this hire difficult. You need somebody who can win when they don’t have a stacked roster but you can’t have a guy who doesn’t know how to let an elite player go out there and show everyone how good they are.
I believe this was one of the significant factors in Butch’s failure. He was so into “system” and “consistency” he didn’t know how to manage the playmaking ability and psyches of players with that next level of ability.

I don't watch wrestling. Last night I was reading something tangentially related and I stumbled on the name Bianca Belair. Apparently she's a lady wrestler for the WWE. She's a former track star from UT named Bianca Nicole Blair Crawford .

The more you know.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Pruitt was a good coach and has the personality of Nick Saban.

Until they are the guy, you just do not know.

Tony Elliott is just as questionable as Pruitt was in 2017. At least if we are being honest and not back filling what we know now.

Obviously, in 2021, TE is x1000 better than Pruitt. So I'm happy about that.

Yeah we don't know that is true. But guaranteeing he is going to fail because Pruitt did is dumb. Elliott has many things going for him that Pruitt never did.

 

[jakez4ut]

If I’m streeter I can win titles as the OC at clemson or get fired in three years at tennessee. I’m staying at clemson lol

That would be a very odd, and specific, clause in the contract...

 

[Dudley Smith]

If everything we have been told about the way Danny White conducts a coaching search is true, the candidate getting all the noise is not the candidate we’ll hire.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

That’s like asking “why live in America if you hate it’s politics so much?” I’m stuck here

No your not. You choose to come on this message board. You choose to watch games. If you are so unhappy there are plenty of other things you can invest your time into.

 

[buffaloblue]

Wouldn’t Steele fall under a current head coach as he is the current Vols coach.

*takes 10,000 laps*

 

[Christian Lowe]

You're stuck on VN? How does that work?

By being born into this **** show and wanting to follow what’s going on within it. Same reason you’re here, I’m just not going to pretend everything’s rainbows and sunshine.

 

[Face]

Reminder

I think everything AV brings is 100% true at the time. But things change. He’s not a fortune teller. Information is only accurate until it isn’t. Not saying he’s wrong but just because something is said at one point in a very fluid situation doesn’t mean you can cash that check at any given minute.

 

[Vol4ever]

I will take James Franklin he is a team builder that wins. What he did at Vanderbilt is nothing short of amazing. Friend of mine worked for the metro PD and said all of the rape stuff was BS.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

P5 coaches don't jump jobs. Elliott is a good hire.

There is 1 that's begging to, I'll support whoever they go with but I have serious doubts about anyone from Bama or Clemson. Besides, I don't believe Elliott is in it. I think he's spewing to the media to pressure Tennessee into hiring him. Could be wrong, JMO
