Recruiting Forum Football Talk LVIII

umm grad transfers can go anywhere they want and play right away.

Notre Dame nixed Everett Golson to Texas. Because they were on the schedule. Ended up at FSU. They have a say. Jimbo Fisher is obviously taking the high road allowing their DB to go to other SEC teams but it’s a case by case situation.
 
Pruitt was on 104.5 midday today and a poster on VQ shared this, thought it was good...

He had a pretty good comeback when they asked him if it was reasonable to be patient with the fans after what they’ve gone through the last several years. “Well how patient do y’all think they’re gonna be with me?”

Hahahaha.

I was about to write an “inb4 Bruin tries to stir the pot” post, checked an email, then hit refresh and he beat me to the punch.

Gotta step my game up.

He is 100% correct.

And I think he is handling his PR perfectly.

He expects to win.

The issues will come fast and furious if he doesn’t win.

But don’t borrow trouble from the future.

Yep. He ain't lying but he shouldn't Stoke the fire. Again he says something that is better left unsaid

Its not going to change fan reaction after a loss. What he said today from that post isn't even a big deal. He is just saying fans won't be patient with him. That's a fact. He knows it. He understands it. your not going to hurt his feelings. He will be just as pissed if not more if they lose

"what the fans have been through". Right.

We wake up in our comfortable beds, in our climate controlled homes, and take a shower in hot clean water, before putting on our finest overpriced university supporting apparel. We then wander into our kitchens to enjoy an over-abundance of fresh and nutritious food, before stopping to buy a $5 coffee, on the way to jobs that allow us to waste stupid amounts of time on forums whining about the mean things our coach says to us. At some point we go to lunch, also fresh and nutritious, and lament with our coworkers about our mean coach. After a ridiculously short day of work, we wander home, where we enjoy yet another quality meal that much of the world would consider fit for royalty. Some TV, maybe a whisky or Scotch, and off to bed. Tomorrow, repeat.

On 8 Saturdays, our team lost. We were sad, and probably went to a great restaurant to drown our sorrow in simple carbohydrates and beer.

Meanwhile, much of the world starves...or lacks clean water...or safety and security.

Grow. Some. Stones.

I’ve said it before but whether I agree with him or not, I’m glad he didn’t back down or apologize for his comments. Sick of seeing people bow to public pressure and give half hearted apologies that they don’t really mean. This man unapologetically says what he thinks and I respect that.

Wish I could like this more than once.

Need a good “applause” GIF

I applaud him for being candid. He knows he wasn’t #1 on any coaching search list. Most, if not all, of us moaned and complained when he was hired. Some of us abandoned ship. He has said from day one what his expectations are. He’s telling recruits we aren’t good. He’s telling them what they aren’t good at. The man doesn’t blow smoke. You either like it or you don’t. He doesn’t care and he’s not going to change. He was hired to win at a place that expects to win. He is the one that will be judged; not the players, not the fans. He’s not selling unicorns and rainbows. He’s preaching truth and teaching football. The rest is for speculation. If he fails, at least he has his dignity. If he succeeds, nobody will care what he says.
