Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Kingston Vol]

They are too good to hire freeze. He will end up in the SEC and dominate us. And I would bet money he never gets in trouble again. We will continue to suck.

He won't be in the SEC this year.

 

[Jack Burton]

I am no prophet. And I certainly am just like the rest of you...I care about all things TN. I’m here to give you hope that there are some Folks who are fed up with this administRation and staff and that same group is working on trying to put together something where the juice will be worth the squEEZE. Very influential folks are involved in this process..you can choose to believe or you can choose not to...that’s up to you.

This is amazing news.

So good to hear!

 

[Ron Swanson]

You know I agree with you on this.

I think it goes something like this:
Call Campbell and Fickell, get turned down.

Call Gus, we are a logical fit. If the money is right, we have a deal, in my opinion.

If he wants to take a year off, we drop down to Napier and Chadwell. I would take either of those guys over Pruitt, but I'm not sure the administration would feel the same.

Agree.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Damnit you’ve done it! Cracked the enigma code!

 

[Aesius]

It wouldn't really though. His names carries a lot of weight. Win 8 year 1 and he's recruiting top 5 easy. He's in Atlanta no later than year 3

It's tougher sledding than OSU or UF, though. He would lock up in-state talent no doubt, but he would still have to battle for GA and FL kids. At UF he could just load up on kids within a 100-mile radius of campus, and at OSU he owned the Midwest.

But the work may not be with Freeze. It may be with Sankey.

Sankey has a basketball coach at LSU on tape offering 6 figures for basketball players, he is still coaching. refused to leave.

 

[DustyRockSolid]

He won't be in the SEC this year.

Oh, I agree. He will be beating us eventually, tho

Some Kentucky fan is on The Drive saying Jimmy Calloway is looking around and Kentucky is a possible landing spot according to the Kentucky boards.

Yeah he almost went to UK, right?

makes sense, but that sucks though

At least your version can't be painted over

I have more paint than them.

Freeze should be the floor here. And that’s a pretty high floor. It’s that simple and a pretty great position to be in, but we all know we will make this hard and flub it up.

 

[scvolfan7]

SC asked the SEC if they’d, theoretically, be able to hire freeze and they were told yes. He just didn’t have any interest

 

[Aesius]

I really don't understand the hesitancy to take a risk on Freeze. If he fails, so what? Chances are literally every other realistic candidate is gonna fail, too. The SEC is a churn and burn league. We are just unlucky in that we are churning and burning total bums instead of guys who bring some good wins before ultimately flaming out like Malzahn.

Remember when hubbs and price made up terms like “paper 4 and 5 stars” to make excuses for Pruitt

Mullen was our floor last go round

Pruitt won't be fired this year and won't resign. So yeah I agree with you. Next year when he is fired, all these names mentioned will be completely different except Kiffin and the normal pipe dreams. It is fun and I have found myself lurking more but more of hopes of someone saying Pruitt will be fired.

He’s done.

Exactly

And TN ripped up that floor and went and dug a crater

Because the administration and power players have been trying to reinvent the wheel for over 10 years now.

The hesitancy isn't that he'll fail, it's that he'll burn the place down on the way out.

Last 4 guys have done that, too (Pruitt included).

 

[Batman1948]

All that talk is just talk. We all know none of those bigtime pipe dream coaches are coming to UT. Urban, Stoops, etc. Every fanbase thinks they’ll get those guys and they hire guys like Beamer, Napier, Chadwell, or fired retreads. Maybe it’ll happen this time but I’m not buying it. We’ll be lucky just to have Pruitt fired and a guy like Napier when this is all said and done.

Of course we could have Freeze but apparently they won’t hire him.

That's UT way these days. I don't care who the coach is anymore because it's just not a fun product to watch. Giving Pruitt another year, with staff changes, is just like pissing in the wind. It's not a good idea.
