Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Jimmy Football]

I want to wish him the best, but at the same time, I'm hoping he doesn't end up on a team we play and kick our ass.

 

[Christian Lowe]

I gave up trying. At this point it is what it is.

I’m honestly really close to just giving up college football altogether. It’s a boring product and we are awful with no hope in sight. I just don’t get a lot of enjoyment out of it anymore.

And when I say give up I mean I’m not planning my Saturdays around it. If I have time and there is a good game on I will watch or have it on in the background. I’m certainly not spending any kind of money on it anymore.

I don’t think I’ve looked forward to football since 2016. I’ve sat through football to get to basketball ever since.

Heupel has lost control of the football team.

So our last recruiting class is down to what? 15 signees? Those hits just keep a'comin'.

 

[UTMVol76]

When we keep getting news like this, it's hard to maintain positivity. But I'm really trying.

I disagree, players overwhelmingly said they wanted accountability. This is what accountability looks like. This is how you reform a culture. I’m excited.

Not me……. I’m fired up and counting down every single second to get back inside neyland…. We still have plenty of quality of defensive linemen and I have no doubts that the qb position will be solid…Go Vols!

Was it the walk-ons who wanted accountability? Probably in hopes of getting playing time.

Seriously, I'm all for accountability. What happened with Salter had to happen. It doesn't change my fear that we're going to continue to suck at football. I'm happy we're competitive in basketball and baseball, but as long as we suck in football, I'll feel dead inside.

Thanks, Jimmy.

We will win 7 games this year and have fun doing it.

7 games has been my prediction.

the inmates cannot run the asylum. look at the studies where actors were put into a prison, the college students essentially descended into chaos.

granted theres a fine line, people have to have structure including accountability. may not know it, but on some level have to have it.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Thanks, Jimmy.

head scratching decisions

 

[I4Jay]

I’m just now seeing. Kaiden Salter suspended indefinitely. Jesus you come all this way with what’s going on in your house to do this dumb ****. Heup should send all them kids who were involved home and let them figure out life on their own.

70 days (I think) until

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

This year is gonna suck so bad.

All I really want to do is beat Kentucky at this point. My only wish for ‘21

 

[JCVol00]

QB depth chart looking like:
1. HB-SO
2. Milton-JR
3. Maurer- RS SO
4. Hooker- SR

im thinking for the 2023 recruiting class we take 2 qbs, hopefully Dante Moore commits here as well as that qb from Ravenwood

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Vitello staying. Salter likely gone.

Bump. Not to toot my own horn or anything....

 

[volsfan_17]

Salter's dismissal is 100% justified and addition by subtraction in my mind. The fault is his for the decisions he made, however the bigger issue is that the program has to be strong enough for incoming freshmen to have the leeway and support to 'figure it out'. This only happens when we have stability in the program as a whole. I think that Coach Hype will be given the time to implement this structure, but until such time as that happens (2-3 years), there's no choice but to purge kids who are going to be distractions.

I thought I was in heaven the first 5 weeks of that season.
