Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Leeleesteeth]

I'm beginning to think that the long period of time used to assemble the Defensive Staff was by design. Seems like the plan has worked so far.

Yeah. It's almost like the professionals in charge know what they are doing.

Our university has absolutely nothing to do with the previous coaching staff.... we have been a mess for years....I would say in order of importance for a student athletes starts with the relationship with the coaches.... 2nd would be how they fit with the football program.... 3rd would be the college they choose to play for....... Most of these kids aren’t from Tennessee..... what do we have to sell that would entice star players t attend here?

How did those first to work out for many of those that have left or are leaving. As for what do we have to offer : Playing in the best league in the country, The use of some of if not the best facilities in the country. A tradition that has been matched by few. A chance to get a World Class education in one of the Best place's in the world. Connections that will last a lifetime......other than that I can't think of much.

edit: I can't spell no education.

Yeah. It's almost like the professionals in charge know what they are doing.

It's almost like those complaining look like they don't know what they are talking about.

 

[Deebowbear]

Yeah, wonder if it will be another LB coach or just a ST coordinator

Joe Lori would be great st/lb coach anybody heard anything on him

 

[captainfalcon777]

I don't see upside in dwelling on the negative. The new staff deserves a shot to show us what they can do. They didn't make this mess; they're here to clean it up. They seem committed to that. I look at the roster and I see youth and potential. I don't see the quick turnaround and fast climb that others see. The SEC is very unforgiving, and we've lost a lot of good players.

What do you think about Tim Banks? Think he’ll be able to put together a defense that compliments Heup’s offense?

 

[UTSuave’]

We pretty much don't pay much attention to what you say anyway, so........

Ok Bruin and yet you replied

 

[Devo182]

I'm way late on this conversation but here's what I don't get. I can understand these guys being passionate about wanting to play for Pruitt when he was DC and for the first couple of years with us, but WHAT were they seeing after this past year that made them want to play for him so badly?

Dude has had statistically strong units at both UT and then UCF. Don't understand the shade.

He's also now spent years practicing against a modern offense...so just maybe he knows how to stop those darn slant thingys.

Have we hired a S&C coach or coaches yet. This will be a big part of any success we have because they are going to have to be able to RUN a lot !!!!

 

[thomaseusin]

I think VN approves! Awesome if true!

When do we get on with the rasslin and music chat: We've talked the footballs to the point of deflation

Hair bands of the 80s: Who you got?

Yes AJ Artis is staying on in that position

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

All the haters when HT shows up on campus.

If he was going to be playing with UT he would already be on campus.

And Josh brought in his SC guy from UCF as well. Keeping AJ as the top dog was a good move.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Just think some of the crap he and others did leading up to and after 2016 election was slimy, un-American and traitorous.. I would feel the same way if the political sides were reversed.. Definitely NOT this country's finest hour...

hmm. that's an interesting take on things. No matter. Like I said just wanted to hear A side, will always been an interesting time in history. that's all.

not trying to stir political talk.

[tnhunter 10]

Heupel is really buying into UT. This man wants to be here. I'm bought in.

 

[alvinkamara]

Vixen...

Ratt and Poison around that time as well

 

[Rishvol]

Well we have officially hit that stage

Seems like yesterday Pruitts kids were singing rocky top.

We will just be better at it. RG is a master and spent years learning that the barn. Look for a cabin to be under construction in a remote location of east Tennessee in the near future.

Maybe if we have access to a cabin in each recruiting state, we could be more productive...coaches can use my lake house when in Texas...maybe steal Quinn Ewers from ohio state?
