Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Is there smoke coming out of Finebaum's wings? He never says anything positive about TN

He has been negative about it... per usual. I basically don’t even consider Finebaum an alum. He hates Tennessee

 

[SCvol333]

I don’t care at all about a bowl ban. Half the players already aren’t playing in them...

 

[VolGee4]

He got me when he said he couldn't wait to run through the T and hear "Rocky Top" playing, and it gave him goose bumps thinking about it. Kiffin tried to make us USC, and Pruitt tried to make us AL.

He not only has some awareness but he’s experienced the crowd at Neyland. Get us to the experience of the crowd against OU in 2015!

Unlike the Fordes and Wolkens of the world, I think that Pawwwl would actually like to say something nice about Tennessee, but we just never give him reasons to. Forde and Wolken would continue to s**t on the program even if we won a national championship.

Pruitt was rumored to the Jets. Hank works for the Jets

Ah gotcha! Yeah be hard to be a tennessee fan and not show your disdain working with Pruitt.

Booger McFarland is on Finebaum talking about how good of a hire this is. Saying we got everything we wanted.

YES!​

When has the national media ever said any coaching hire was bad?

I'm not that down on JH, but it's hilarious to me how the media says every single coaching hire, no matter what, is a good hire, and no one holds them accountable for their "expert" opinions turn out to be wrong.

Several voices on ESPN (Pollack and Aaron Murray in particular) didn't have good things to say about Pruitt when he was hired. We wrote it off as sour grapes or a personal beef, but they were 100% right.

If you watch college football, almost every team has WRs running open in the secondary except one - us

Yes, it’s time to rebuild a Tennessee identity. The mimic games have failed miserably.

If Steele is out, who will be the DC?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Booger saying what we all are, it all comes down to what Heupel does on defense

 

[Ashevolle]

He has been negative about it... per usual

Always good to have the approval of a man named Booger

Odom or Mike Stoops, imo

Hugh Freeze

How bad Pruitt's offense was, given how easy it is to rack up yards today, is a testament to Pruitt's stupidity.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

We need Henry back

 

[pierce60]

Most of not only Heupel's but also Frost's successes as coaches has to do with McKenzie Milton. Those guys' records with Milton is awesome; without him it is kind of pedestrian.

Bailey or Salter turning into a star (not just a good player, but a star) I think is a requirement for Heupel to be successful here.

But Heupel has developed people everywhere he’s been.

Sam Bradford
Landry Jones
Jordan Love
Drew Locke
McKenzie Milton
Dillon Gabriel

It’s not a fluke that Milton was good.

Odom isn’t coming. Who is Mike Stoops? Bob’s brother? Wasn’t he terrible?

 

[orangefreak21]

Lets get Heup

 

[TrippieRedd]

Sark was about to hire him before something fell thru.

 

[VolGee4]

If Steele is out, who will be the DC?

Barry Odom?

Oh, I'm not suggesting that it was a fluke. What I am saying though is that he has to develop an elite QB here. Not just a pretty good one, but a great one. Better than Josh Dobbs-level. If he doesn't, he'll be gone in 3 years.
