Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[SweetasSoda]

the hire sucks. juss sayin' no way to change that.

Disagree. I like this hire better than any since Fulmer except maybe Kiffin. I liked his coaches he made me nervous at times. We desperately needed a good offensive coach to get us through this situation. The two favorites were not happening. Hoping he can win 7 in his first year like Kiffin.

@BruinVol Like I said earlier, I don't think the scholarship reductions will mean much. I don't think this guy will recruit at an elite level anyway, we're not going to be turning 4 and 5 stars away. We don't usually carry 85 anyway, give walkons the scholly to fill it out. It will only affect the bottom of the roster, not the top.

As to the bowls, I get what you're saying about players leaving of you announce it early. I would wait until the season starts too. But if you wait to long and it becomes pretty certain that you're not making a bowl anyway and then you announce abowlban, I'm not sure the NCAA will look at that favorably. I say take your lumps and get them out of the way early.

We will get to 6 wins next year


Also see LSU this year for when to announce

This. Go back and watch some Alabama games when they sucked in 03 or 04. That place was half full at kickoff. That hasn’t happened yet at Tennessee after 15 years of garbage.

Yep and that just seems to piss several people off. Especially that little Pat Forde punk.

 

[Orange Studs]

Yeah, typo, that's what I meant.

Anyway, changing subjects here, I hope Heupel plans to hire a couple of coaches with Tennessee ties to replace the two he is losing.

I hope he hires the best coaches available and if that happens to include a UT person that will be a bonus.

Pruitt- All y'all are linebackers

Well for a month, then move you to edge, then maybe move someone to TE

 

[laxtonto]

So Ansley has known for a while and was waiting for the other shoe to drop so to speak... So I guess that does confirm or at least supports that he did also have talks about going to Texas to coach DBs/Co-Dc

 

[UTK]

We always say "a good QB" makes up for a lot. Well this guy has a proven record of developing them. Even if we have a lack of talent and depth the next couple years, if he gets one of Bailey, Salter or Hooker ready to play to their potential, who knows. We could have a surprise 8 win season

 

[jakez4ut]

Let me think about it. But go ahead and sleep on it and come back with a better attitude tomorrow.

i'd say if you're asking about it, then you probably already know the answer..............

Pruitt in NY when he sees the stairs to a subway station

I can’t get over how that hillbilly didn’t know what asparagus was

 

[Batman1948]

What's happened to most stocks the past year has been dumb.

Spoken like someone who doesn't own any stock

 

[Dudleys87]

More 4 man looks. Probably more 4-2-5. That promotes more a passrush by committee and gives our tweener interior DL more opportunities to be pass rushers instead of just gap fillers.... which i think they are better suited for anyways.

They ran a 5-2-4 as well.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Well for a month, then move you to edge, then maybe move someone to TE

Maybe he can make Sam Darnold a linebacker?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I just want to say, I was watching some highlights, Heupel does have the slant pass in his playbook.

Alabama fans might be the most fair weather group of fans in any sport anywhere. Especially the "fans" they have outside the state.

 

[MarcoVol]

I'm all seriousness, this dude might actually take the talent we have on offense and compete with literally everyone we play next season. Might not win against teams like bama but... This is an offense driven game now and hypel does have a chance to compete in all games if his offense is as good as advertised. Just something to think about. Not saying it will happen, but if his offense is as good as advertised it's a real possibility that we win more games than we should next year just by offense alone.

Where has this Dusty been?

 

[InVOLuntary]

We will get to 6 wins next year

I don't think we do.

We win 5:

3 OOC
Vandy
SC

We lose 7:

OM
AL
GA
FL
PITT
MO
KY

 

[tn88volfan]

The plan was always going to be cleaning house, to hopefully get less punishment from the NCAA... now the NCAA would only be punishing new coaches and the kids....not a good look

 

[UpstateVol613]

So Ansley has known for a while and was waiting for the other shoe to drop so to speak... So I guess that does confirm or at least supports that he did also have talks about going to Texas to coach DBs/Co-Dc

I think Ansley has been looking to get out for a while now. Hope that means we don’t have to pay his buyout.

 

[Brick_By_Brick]

I just want to say, I was watching some highlights, Heupel does have the slant pass in his playbook.

And if he hires a DC to defend one, he’s already light years ahead of Pruitt.

 

[Smokey123]

that's a long time

He’ll be there forever. Literally. He’s already been there for about 15 years seasons and he’s only 46. He’s never leaving and they’ll never fire him

 

[UTK]

If JH goes out and hired Odom as DC, he would be hiring his old boss to a place his old boss has openly dispised before. If he could pull that off, I would admittedly be impressed lol

 

[T Dog]

New season of Seal Team comes on tonight. Only series on tv I will watch.

 

[OrangeGoggles]

Nothing personal but please tell me Weinke is looking for other employment?

That would leave us w possibly Steele and maybe Osovet? Sounds like Tee and Jay are leaving.
