Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[volfaninpa]

National championship winning coach and QB trying to burn the program down on their way out. Has that happened at any other school or just UT?

 

[InVOLuntary]

Cimaglia gone...

Where to? He had a rough year this year. I think injuries where the major contributing factor.

 

[csprig9]

See ya Tee
See ya fulmer
See ya Steele
Get the damn drama out of here
WhAt do these guys want for **** sakes

They should learn to carry theirselves more like jay and Peyton

 

[T Dog]

UT will end up paying $6MM+ in buyouts to hire UCF personnel. Just buy out the contracts of Pruitt staffers, come to terms with Tee, get signed NDAs and let the new guys have a clean slate. Cost of doing business.

Otherwise, UT is going to be dealing with bad publicity, negativity, threats of litigation and settlements for months to come. Get a fresh start, move on and try to generate some positivity around the program.

No, don't cave! It will affect us years to come.

I’m in it for the likes from now on so I can get a @Neyland Rising like. I’m gonna transform this thread into ”Recruiting Forum Football Talk III/Girls of UCF”. And there are tons of choices to choose from at UCF.

But did we have the time to wait on the NCAA?

We could have fired Pruitt & Fulmer at any time just because we wanted to. There was no need or waiting for any of this, that's kind of the point @LA Vol has made this whole time. The only reason for the investigation and bringing all that down on us was to fire with cause, which is extremely rare and often a black-eye to do. Regardless of how messed up that is.

What's the loophole? This is very strange, but how is this different from some analyst or hedge fund person going on CNBC telling the world what they are buying or selling? Or look at guys like Cramer cheering stocks up or down

I'm talking about "on both sides".

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Cimaglia gone...

To the transfer portal too. That makes no sense

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Now this...Unbelievable

 

[VEKZY]

Now this...Unbelievable

i guess we will have to get someone else to miss field goals instead of him

 

[TrippieRedd]

Now this...Unbelievable

The new coach isn't badass enough for Cim. Lol this bum needs to leave.

 

[Rishvol]

TB just mentioned this, but with Gov. Lee's announcement, I wonder if we can get more into Thompson tomorrow night.

goes into effect Feb 1

 

[Volsfaninva917]

The only person he should be mad at is himself.
He should have never taken the WR Coach position.
Once he had CO-OC at USC accepting anything less than that was a step backwards, even from his alma mater.

He got fired at SC

 

[volsfan_17]

Now this...Unbelievable

What? Oklahoma needs a kicker?

 

[RDU VOL#14]

To the transfer portal too. That makes no sense

What’s the purpose here?

 

[SSVol]

Good suggestion. We can have someone print it out and put it on her desk. I'm sure she'll retain Glazier to investigate and dig deeper, because that would be the right way to handle it.

It's obvious that you disagree with the path she chose, but is it really necessary that we constantly caricaturize UT's leadership? That's a major part of why our fan base is considered so toxic. We polarize every person or situation as fully good or fully bad and the beat it to death. It's unhealthy. Franklin is a grand slam whale, but Heupel is just a bro hire and destined to failure. Really? Nothing is ever as good or bad as we paint it. Ever. And the sooner we collectively dial back the gain on our responses, the better off we will be. Zero chance of that though. LotM Forever!

Now this...Unbelievable

So weird. Watch him end up at OU

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

I love Tee Martin. Met him once and he was a super nice guy. I also remember the homecoming tour he received when Butch wanted him on his initial staff. Tee chose to stay at USC and that's ok. Fans welcomed him with open arms when he finally came home. If Tee is frustrated with the situation all of his vitriol should be aimed towards Pruitt and Fulmer.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

What? Oklahoma needs a kicker?

Hahahaa. Well played.

 

[MrWiz]

Fulmer. My gosh. Glad he is not AD anymore. But Tee needs to understand that Fulmer is not his boss anymore and he can’t just promise two years extensions to someone when a staff was just fired.

My goodness! Fulmer might have been the worst AD in the country!

 

[Pacer92]

Heupel needs to have a coach that knows his system and can coach within it. Tee isn’t it. He needs someone familiar with his scheme that he trusts

Is Tee really that great of a coach? Probably more useful to programs for his recruiting ability. Agree...Heupel needs his own guy. Clean house, imo.

 

[Jack Burton]

Pruitt and Fulmer torpedoed the program so we’re going to be bailing water for a long time.

 

[LA Vol]

You really think that matters to our admin? After all, these are the same people that decided to start an internal investigation, dig up the bodies, and get the program in a bunch of NCAA trouble to try and avoid a $12mil buyout.

Sadly, I do not. Do it cleanly, get a fresh start and let the new guys do their jobs. There's no upside to pushing people's buttons, giving the media clickbait and inciting players and former players to take sides while the new staff is trying to build unity.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

i guess we will have to get someone else to miss field goals instead of him

Yeah, but at one point he was hitting them. Kind of got screwed out of 1st team SEC by that goofball HotRod.
