Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Orange Studs]

I demand that Ron post some breaking good news about hiring Freeze to get us all out of our usual UT hiring position. That position is call "the Fetal position."

 

[Garren04]

I’m done with the people inside the university I mean DONE. No way we can be successful, Pruitt has to be heated

 

[Aesius]

Sad thing is, Freeze will end up at Bama or Auburn and kill it, but TPTB will feel justified and like they have the moral high ground compared to us mouth-breathing redneck fans who don't know anything about decorum and class.

 

[BigOrange15]

Like I said the other day, this university is full of pussies. If they are willing to block Freeze because some national people might say mean things, then Tennessee will never, ever be successful again. You almost never just accidentally become successful and the higher ups at UT dont care enough/are too scared to try. Guarantee Alabama and Auburn's boards are falling all over themselves to approve him if we turn him down. Just so very Tennessee.

This feels like somewhat of a last straw moment for me if it goes down like this tbh.

Freeze

Let's ride.

And what's sad is that Fulmer is the last line of defense. He's the last person with any amount of pull who gives a damn about the football program.

If the Pruitt era fails, I think he will just throw his hands up and say the hell with it and step away from the program for good.

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

If and I mean IF these rumors are true. I believe Tennessee football is finished. I believe Pruitt will leave as soon as he can and we as fans should completely stop going.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Freeze doesn't get turned down at Bama, Auburn, UGA, UF or A&M. If Pruitt doesn't get what he wants because these clowns won't approve then he needs to determine if this is a place he can win at the highest level at. If I was at a school I had no ties to and went through a couple instances like this, you can kiss my rear end good bye. I'll go somewhere where people want to win.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Pruitt will start planning his eventual exit if that happens IMO. He will know right away that he can't be successful long-term here.

Yep

If the Pruitt era fails he's probably told to leave.

 

[TNVolSoldier]

When asked if the BoT or a booster was trying to block the hire.
"I don't think it's gotten to that point. I'm not sure Pruitt has decided that Freeze is definitely the guy he wants. I think there are some with reservations, but I don't think the BOT or Randy Boyd has drawn a line in the sand and said they forbid it from happening." -Hubbs

Deep breaths everyone.

Who can blame him? If I'm in charge of trying to win and my bosses wont let me win, **** 'em. I'd be out too.

 

[Aesius]

Yep. He's hanging by a thread, IMO. He won't get a second chance to hire another coach, even though he was forced to hire Pruitt at the 11th hour.

Got news bud this program is done

 

[amazingGRACE]

Relax. Hubbs said nobody is stopping Pruitt from making the hire.

 

[buffaloblue]

This is far from over....

We need a bat phone for hubs... Just for emergencies... Lol

Don’t care...this is fun. Gotta let the boys do some torching to get the kjarn out of our system.

We know how we all can get in here over reports that we really don't know are accurate or not. So let's not let the rumors ruin our Friday night here in VN.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Reading through this thread this morning was like Avengers 3.

“Yay! All my favorite people are here, this is fun.”

“A little fighting.”

“We are going to win!!”

<snap>

“... and, half of the universe just died.”

 

[hotcypress]

Honestly, what does Houston Kress is even know? That's basically like all of you freaking out over something Sab would tweet. Even Basilio has more cred...

 

[volfanCLT]

Well what am I supposed to do with this burning Molotov cocktail in my hand outside the BOT meeting now?

might as well throw it for inevitable future transgressions

Like you said earlier

Basilio did a Periscope saying the same thing.
