Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

I'm OK with Pruitt doing his due diligence and interviewing Lindsey, but if we don't hire Freeze someone else (Bama) will. Get this done.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I think everyone is waiting on some chips to fall. Someone will blink and start the whole chain reaction.

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

How do we go from Freeze to Lindsey to Drinkwitz. Most Tennessee thing ever.

If Bama hires him who the hell cares

That's exactly where I hope he ends up if not here

That’s exactly my point.

One would think we could at least be the first domino to go causing the rest to topple over instead of being rolled over by the rest.

Well, we need to blink, hire freeze, and let everyone else fight over the remaining pieces.

I am honestly starting to think it’s freeze waiting to see if Pruitt hires chip and then freeze immediately takes the Auburn job if offered.i think that’s the chain reaction here.

 

[rekinhavoc]

Pretty sure I asked you guys and gals to get this OC hire done. Feels funny having to mention it again.

Possible for sure

Because we have to play Bama every year and if we don't hire him, we will have to face him. I'd rather he was on our sideline.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Hmmmm....thought he had been campaigning for the job

It still may happen, so I’m reserving my total meltdown mode for if/when it doesn’t. But for me, hiring Freeze felt like we (TN) we’re finally going to do something elite programs do: hiring the best capable candidate available, taking a chance and swinging for the fence. And again, we still may, but if it turns out we didn’t because of something stupid, the backlash from the fans for NOT hiring an elite OC will be way worse than the backlash from the media if we do hire Freeze. JMO...

Lots of things in play that will settle out over the next day or two. Chips bonus at auburn, Alabama OC interviewing at MD. Freeze's suspension is lifted. Freeze maybe waiting on other offers. Pruitt mulling things over. Contract negotiations between any candidates and UT. A lot of crossing Ts and dotting Is. Don't want something similar to what happened with Houston and Charlotte.

 

[Wickman]

Really glad this name got mentioned.

You don’t care for me enough to cry is a great song

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

Freeze at 5. Book it.

You drop info on Friday at 5 if you want to get the least amount of pub. Not going to drop anything on a Friday afternoon/night.

He also might gamble that Lindsey is our plan B and turn us down for Auburn

Well, in my way of thinking, Pruitt has two years at least here. If it isn't pretty next season for Auburn, Gus is gone. Maybe Freeze thinking he might get the Auburn job? Or maybe it's not as hard to do well at Auburn, since they aren't totally rebuilding?

 

[InVOLuntary]

Very much a possibility. Also, don't forget the Alabama wildcard with their OC interviewing for the MD job.

Hmmmmmm...very interesting,honestly I just hope it’s freeze and he takes it.

 

[InVOLuntary]

May not be in our court. Lots of gamesmanship going on I'm sure.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Hmmmm....thought he had been campaigning for the job

He has been, but still has to agree on terms. He may have already spoken with other teams quietly.

I get it. I think I'm just having flashbacks of last year's cluster-f of blah blah money no object, best candidate, blah blah smoke up everyone's a$$, here have a sh!tano sammich and be happy.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Three deep sure. But I don’t see us relying on a freshman next year on the OL except for Wanya. Not sure your fear is reality here

Hope you're right. I wasn't wrong about what happened this year. I really hope I am about next season. I look for the real jump to occur in 20. I think we will be a really good team by then.

Take it easy on him, he's got to hit on one of these one day.
