Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[JCP201]

I just got back home and read Les is hiring Lindsey and we haven't hired Freeze yet.

Don't understand what's going on, but at this point, I am going to trust Fulmer and Pruitt. Both must know he has to show real progress by year three.

looks like the roller coaster has stalled at the moment.

 

[Orange Studs]

He's not getting another SEC or major P5 job without a coordinator stop first. Just not gonna happen.

And for at least a couple years or so until he proves that he has changed before any big U's take a chance on him.

Good.

You have lost your dang mind..

 

[callmecrockett]

Love that we always get first dibs on coaches and slow play until we wind up with 5th choice.

That's terrifying!

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Alot of worse options, honestly.

There are worse options than Botch Jones too...you want him for the job?

Drinkwitz is a good OC.

I don't think so.

 

[pierce60]

You know what, no matter who they hire to be the OC they will still be playing ball in the Fall and for me a day with TN football is better than one without it. I want them to win, but if they don’t then it makes no legitimate difference in my life.

It’s a game and there have been enough stories going around this board about honest to God problems in this world that this coaching search (for an OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR!!!) should be kept in sort of perspective.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Drinkwitz is still a good OC.

No...he is not.

 

[volfanCLT]

No...he is not.

What are you basing this on?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

We're gonna Drink and dunk all over the field on opposing defenses

Might average 13 pts a game if we hire Drink!

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Bring on Drink!

I seriously want to kick you in the balls right now..

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Poor @nicksjuzunk when he wakes up to this. He went to bed hopeful...he’ll wake up with all kinds of rustled jimmies.

At first i

But now I

You have lost your dang mind..

Naw, I’m good with it.

Wouldn’t expect different from you.

It's stories like these that I empathize with so much and, simultaneously, make me feel fortunate that Ashlee's battle was "only" for the first year of her life. I don't know that we'll ever completely be out of the woods but, for now, she's had nearly 2 years of healthy check-ups.

We had some (two especially) close calls but we were sharing a unit at Vanderbilt with parents of children who have grown up (literally) there. Parents whose best case scenario, after treatment, was that they get a few more years with their son or daughter. I prayed so much, and still do, for that first 18 months that I never bury my child but felt selfish sometimes doing so, knowing that there were other parents whose greatest hope was that they get tomorrow.

@SaguaroVols I'm so happy your son's battle has been victorious. Here's to many more healthy check-ups and to a complete recovery, for him and your family.

Hearing stories like this me realize getting all worked up over a coaching search is not very important in the grand scheme of things. May God you you and your family as well as the other family.
