Recruiting Forum Football Talk LI

Word out of Pruitt’s family is he’s taking TN job. Also say he has contacted Freeze about OC.

Don’t hang me if it’s not true. Just talked to a friend of his parents. Was what he’s told several people.

I said a couple days ago Hugh Freeze's name had been thrown around.

I think you all are jumping to conclusions that he would be OC. With what happened they may prefer to keep him as a QC assistant or "analyst".

 

[JCP201]

Hence my concern that Saban is trying to convince Pruitt to hold out for a better job

Is there a better job left? We may have botched the coaching search, but VOLS are SEC, great facilities and a huge stadium. You are also King of the State when you are head coach and winning.

Holy shat Hugh Freeze.. media will crucify is after schianomo mess

I would protest but they told us how awful we were last time so I guess we would just have to suffer through having freeze on staff.

Heel turn it is!

So we hired Steele then immediately started to negotiate out of the WVU game so he doesn't have flashbacks?

 

[LaagerVol]

How much of Freeze’s recruiting was legit vs paid for?

I’m not sure he has the same pull in the Bible Belt after what went down.

But he can coach

Here comes the stunner from the vols

Him as an analyst makes a lot more sense than OC.

 

[BigZiti09]

Holgerson as HC would be better than Steele as HC.

I would take Steele and hope that he had improved.

Didn’t Saban use Steve Sarkiasian as an OA for a year? I wouldn’t mind Freeze in that role.

 

[Catbone]

Pruitt is overqualified.

Yes. That's the perfect spot for him

All the more reason to sign Pruitt! Let him coach the playoffs and let him sign who he wants (within reason). This is the best candidate we can get, IMO.

That would be a win-win.

 

[LaagerVol]

Imagine Phil trotting Mike Houston as this mystery candidate and he says he’s bringing his whole staff with him fromJMU. Best staff in America.

I laugh and cry just thinking about it

Better than Steele.

 

[AAVFL]

I just want a coach hired

 

[MrVolton]

Not IMO. Not even close

Lol. Where you getting that, man? Holgerson at least as a winning record as an HC. He has had two 10 win seasons at WV. One of those seasons included a Big East Conference Championship. He's also had a 10 win season with a team that is severely disadvantaged playing in the Big XII.

Steel won what, like 9 games total over three or four years at Baylor.

 

[BigVol80]

Pruitt is the guy.

Not sure why they're holding the announcement.

For sure or a hunch?

 

[volswillrise12]

Freeze could rehabilitate his image in that role. He would be a good backup plan.

Have him teach Tee

 

[Ericvol2096]

Thamel saying Pruitt is our focus now...not groundbreaking but this is what you hear generally right before a deal closes.

 

[AAVFL]

Thamel just tweeted Pruitt is the leader to be HC.

No ****

It’s like they keep trying to sell us on him. We’re sold! Just make the hire
