Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[DD4ME]

so I take it today is Dan Enos day?

Lulz

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I don’t know it. Just heard Pruitt spoke with a new nfl person yesterday.

Interviewee #98...maybe that’s the lucky number.

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

Clemson was 3-8 in 1998 while the Vols won the national title. Role reversal complete.

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

Clemson has become who we were and who we always have striven to be.

 

[HankHill]

We've been at this for 42 days (Helton was announced as WKU HC on Nov 27). 6 weeks. A lot can happen in that window (aside from possibly finding an OC).
Things that happen in less than 42 days...
1. Jesus is victorious in the desert temptation.
2. The deluge of Noah's flood begins and ends.
3. Moses was on Mt Sinai getting the 10 Commandments that have influenced all of Judeo-Christian civilization for millennia.
4. A generally accepted period of time it takes to make or break a habit.

Just for conversation, what else could you accomplish in 42 days?

Longer than William Henry Harrison’s presidency.

 

[InVOLuntary]

That's on him. He usually brings in experienced coaches who are just looking for the resume builder. Until he brings in some no names and grooms them, then this will keep happening. I hope he keeps the retread shop full go.

It's also a product of being successful. His coaches are highly sought after because of his program. You really think Butch went and worked as an intern at Alabama for the experience? He wanted that "Worked for Saban" on his resume.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I’m hearing fields will get his waiver to play next year, so if he beats out martell it’s certainly possible.

Good. That should guarantee Solomon gets a waiver.

 

[jave36]

Tosh is getting boatraced here for sure, but Venebles has SHUT DOWN Tua. I think that's the more impressive part of this.

I agree. Venables owned Tua and Locksley.

 

[Orange Studs]

And the jumping from the band wagon begins. LOL

 

[millst987]

Venables needs to take a HC job, he’s too good

 

[Volnut]

I agree. Venables owned Tua and Locksley.

Yeah, Venables put on the same type of defensive clinic that Wade Phillips put against Cam Newton and the Panthers a few SuperBowls back.

 

[jave36]

Trevor Lawrence might win 3 national titles.

Clemson D will take a HUGE step back next year. It was unprecedented to have that many elite DL all come back for a senior season.

 

[volatil]

And the jumping from the band wagon begins. LOL

Funniest part of that tweet is he doesn’t support .

And he’s quitting on his team after losing one game.

We need a Venables type of OC. One who is among the best and has no desire to move up! This is why we must be patient and CJP take his time.

 

[dimondvol]

I'm no Saban fan but he loses his coordinators almost every year. Sometimes both in the same year. We talk about continuity and how big of a factor it is. I wondered if it would ever catch up to him and I believe it did this year.

I'm hoping now that Clemson is going to be looked at as a dynasty at (or almost at) Bama's level that the same starts happening to them. I know people have pushed for Venables supposedly in the past, but if they push harder maybe he'll leave.

He's not leaving until his son leaves.

This is why we need an elite pass rush. Most important position group on the team after the OL. A reliable pass rush is the only way you can beat elite teams with elite QBs.

Hopefully he won't be hired in the SEC East.

Next year. This year was OL and QB.

His biggest issue this time was he didn't have a Pruitt to turn to. He had Smart for so long then easily was able to bring Pruitt in for a seamless transition and actually some improvement with tweaks Pruitt made to what Smart was doing. Pruitt was Kirby but with more X and O ability. Now you go to Tosh who will doesn't have play call experience. He had to promote him though because otherwise he was coming to TN with Pruitt.

It's Cignetti, right?

Shows his low IQ about sports. Well he is a bama fan can't be to high to begin with. lol Just not a true fan.

 

[SmokeyLives]

Spot on.

Regardless of your beliefs, this is the right answer no matter where you are geographically. I believe as Dabo and am very aware of the community environment in the SC highlands. There is a culture of some sort at every major school. The leaders, educators, students, and surrounding community create it. For the first time in over a decade there is an opportunity for to move back in that direction for us if the majority of the people will start rowing in the same direction for a change.

The football part of our return is underway and last night should have been an eye opener for every Vol fan no matter how well they understand the game. Saban's staff turnover has finally impacted them in a major way. Clemson/Dabo have that part figured out currently. If we could steal one of their co-OC's away, it would help. At least find an OC who runs a similar concept because the D is under control/development.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ SO TRUE

You don’t have to look any further than the current UT mens’ bball team to see the incredibly positive effects of a well coached brotherhood!

 

[Nashvegas31]

I like Bates but idt think it’s him. Schott is horrible.

Bates sucks too imo

I wish Saban would fire Tosh and Pruitt could nab him...he sucks as a play caller, but he is an elite recruiter and position coach.
