Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[BigOrangeFanatic]

That’s my read.

There’s no way Chip goes to Kansas unless his good buddy Pruitt told him he was going in a different direction.

However, there may be a snag with Freeze. And I don’t buy that it’s all on our end. Freeze is a snake and is very likely using our job as leverage for something else - and subsequently using other jobs as leverage over us.

I firmly believe it's been the case all along. Hes waiting to see what happens at Bammer.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Because he isn't coming here. UT doesn't care as much as AU does. As soon as Lindsey announced he was leaving we all should see where this is going. Freeze will be at AU next year.

You need Xanax.

C-Low is confirming Lindsey to Kansas.

Ok, logic says Kansas was Plan B for Lindsey. I don't think there is anyway Pruitt picks Drinkwitz over his ol bud Lindsey. I thought I read where Enos was not being interviewed, just providing advice to Pruitt? So Freeze all the way? Whats plan B, Matt Canada?

It's how his offense works. He put's key personnel "in conflict" so that other options come open. How could folks not have seen this coming?

I just don't see Lindsey going to Kansas without knowing our spot is gone. They are too close and this is a much better spot. He prefers this region for his recruiting background. If he moves on then you know we have someone done

Pruitt may have chosen Freeze, but if he's blocked, nothing he can do about it. Lindsey isn't going to wait around when that job is available. Our administration may leave us looking for scraps while Freeze goes to AU and Lindsey to Kansas

I saw someone speculate that Lindsey was coming as Coach In Waiting. But I agree.

If there’s one thing you don't do, it’s pass up the opportunity to be the OC for THE Kansas Jayhawks

This doesn't make sense. Pruitt should know if Freeze will be "blocked" before telling Lindsey that he has moved on.

 

[UTSuave’]

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

Bama is keeping Locksley or promoting Enos.

This is TN, nothing with them ever makes sense when it comes to a coaching hire

 

[SeanJean]

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

It’s UT. There is always an internal issue.

 

[VFL23]

Bass be like...

Fact

 

[BruinVol]

This doesn't make sense. Pruitt should know if Freeze will be "blocked" before telling Lindsey that he has moved on.

Yep

As Much As I'd rather have Enos I think it's a done deal with freeze.

 

[Kingston Vol]

As far as i know freeze is just waiting for the OK from us. There is something Not related to escort scandal that is the hold up. UT is sorting through it.

Then it’s something really bad that 1) the public doesn’t know and 2) Hugh didn’t disclose until late in the process.

 

[VolGee4]

But if that's the case, then it's somewhat on Pruitt. Sure, he should be able to hire who he wants. But, he should also know what his parameters are. If he thinks he will have trouble getting Freeze, then keep Plan B on the hook. I don't think Pruitt is that dumb.

 

[NMVol]

What does Randy Sanders make at ETSU? Just saying.

 

[SlappyVol]

Where is @LA Vol he sees contracts and MOUs...He could sort out if there is a MOU out there to anyone.

 

[eVOLve]

 

[Glocker_Alum_2005]

Pruitt should know if Freeze will be "blocked" before telling Lindsey that he has moved on.

Agreed. The train wouldn't have gotten that far down the Freeze track, that he told Lindsey to look elsewhere without having iron-clad "blessing" from BoT.

 

[volfanCLT]

This coaching search summed up in one gif

 

[Skizer41]

Or the buyout/exit strategy

Once MOU talk comes out you know we've botched the hire.
