Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[UTSuave’]

To start with the immediate stuff. I haven’t heard anything at all today but that is also because I have been out of pocket today myself. I can tell you this with 100% confidence...when I posted last night a decision had been made by JP at some point Sat night/Sun morning who we wanted to hire and that the wheels would be set in motion to make that happen. I am not sure if anything has changed since then because again I haven’t been in contact today with folks. But again the sense of what I got was that things would get set in motion today or at the latest tuesday. So perhaps everyone should sit back and take a deep breath. I also didn’t allude to who coach had decided on because that isn’t my place to leak that kind of information before it is leaked to the folks who need to know...I can’t upset the apple cart in that capacity.

Rucker getting frustrated haha. At least we now can confirm @Bassmaster_Vol isn't Rucker.

 

[BruinVol]

Freeze to Liberty would be hilarious for those throwing rocks at his past

 

[seaofORANGE22]

No doubt. I'm so mad right now and I have no clue what's going on

You should go fishing

 

[JAllen18]

Sounds like if there isnt an announcment made Tuesday. Then there is no doubt a hang up in the search.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Ok if this is a PR stunt by Fulmer and Pruitt then bravo to them, but please hurry up, I dont want to get stuck with Will Friend

 

[VFL2098]

If something hasn’t been announced by tuesday then I will suspect there was an “internal” issue...to which I refuse to even get involved with anymore after the coaching search extravaganza

Uh oh. The deadline has been set

Plus in Freeze’s 2nd to last game he lost 38-17 to Vandy. How can we hire a coach who’s offense only puts up 17 on a 6-6 Vandy??

We need coaches that can BEAT Vandy.

Sad! Not only can he not score 20 against Vandy but he also went 5-7 with the #1 QB recruit in the country. Terrible coach don’t want. Wow so what he got lucky vs bama two times

 

[vosams]

If we do not get Freeze for some “internal” reason. The UT administration doesn’t want to win. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

 

[nesbuddha66]

Folks suggesting the freeze to liberty bit put out by Sexton.. of course, the liberty coach retiring news is like 5 minutes old.

Liberty is where freeze made his first appearance after all his mess, would he take it?

What timing dude, absolutely crazy

 

[SpringBokVol]

I'm not worried.

It's different this time.

BVS is a thing of the past.

 

[jakez4ut]

first time all day there's been no refreshe with like 10 new posts.

lol.

I'm ready

 

[Batman1948]

Give me Osovet and a QB who can RPO and let's ride.

If it ain't Freeze, I would roll with Joe Osovet in a heart beat. Just look at some of his videos. I hope someone doesn't steal him away from our staff before he gets a chance to show us what he can bring to our offense.

If what AV has said is true, decided last night and done by Tuesday, then Lindsey going to Kansas means its either Freeze, Enos, or Kitchens. Don't think there's anyway its Dinkywitz. We're okay here fellas.

 

[Brillovol]

Dang it, I just want the Tennessee Volunteers to be great again. Is that too much to ask?!

Bass and the rest of VN right now...

I don't see Pruitt or Fulmer needing to work a PR angle on this. They would just hire him and ignore the media.

Kitchens had a bad day yesterday.
He doesn't need many more like that if he wants to keep his job

Honestly, I think my post should've ended after Enos. I think its Freeze or Enos with Lindsey going to Kansas.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Rucker is irritated because they clearly have not had any news the entire search on their site

 

[revjayp]

Well there ya go. Thats why youre hearing the words "reset" and "start over" from Hubbs and Brice. Pruitt has already made the calls to the runner-ups and said "thanks but no thanks" and told Hugh he's his guy. If this doesn't work out, he WILL have to start over. <Pushes chips to the middle of the table.>

Give me enos and I will
Cheer loudly

 

[Dudley Smith]

C-Low is confirming Lindsey to Kansas.
