Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Smokeytom]

Guarantano’s never lacked for swagger...just lacked anything to back it up. Someone who swags AND doesn’t panic in situations is what’s needed.

bro JG's swagger is fake af. If you don't show it on the field then you don't have real swag. Its about energy. Running around making plays, forcing the action, being in your teammates ears, etc. When is the camera on Mayfield and he's not a ball of energy?

Exactly get his arse outta here!?!

I still expect a total 180 in this next game. If it doesn’t happen, there’s no sugarcoating. If it does, I can talk myself into thinking this epic loss was a wake up turning point for the program...until the next game.

Dangit B-NA you're making me agree with you too much recently

 

[nesbuddha66]

Hope the coaches are scrambling for answers as much as we are

 

[engineerVOL]

I’ve seen player tweets, are they real? Is that Hubbs post real?

 

[UTProf]

Someone posted a video saying this is Ga state coming to collect their $950k that UT paid them to play. And Murphy retweeted and said Isn’t this hilarious! Or something to that affect. Basically laughing at his own team.

Ugh. Thanks for the info.

 

[NotoriousRPP]

If Jordan Murphy is still on the team by the end of this week, then meetings and interviews won’t matter.

 

[BeecherVol]

No idea. Maybe never? But when was the last time our players and coaches looked so unmotivated, like they did Saturday, while the worst D1 team in America kicked their asses up and down Shields-Watkins?

I can promise you one thing, programs like UF and Auburn wouldn’t allow it. They’d fire the entire staff before they got off the field. I guess they just care more.

It was somewhat rhetorical. Will be interesting to see who fires Pruitt and makes the next hire. We may be at a point where AD is harder to fill that HC.
To your last comment. Neither school would fire him after the first game. If it was apparent that it wasnt a fluke it probably wouldnt take too long after that tho.
And to think Dooley wanted out after UK and we didnt obliged.

Saturday will be a pretty good tell. UT and its fans better hope it was some crazy voodoo that started with a boat fire. I'm not sure what they (whoever that is) do if he cant make it thru 2 seasons.

He’s gotta be bitter. In the doghouse, didn’t see the field, and taking it out on his team.

Hopefully on his way out, and good riddance.

 

[RiotVol]

Watching highlights of Jalen Hurts from Saturday... He looks slimmer and his release is a lot more compact and crisp. Riley and company really cleaned up his mechanics.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Any insight on who the players that went into Pruitts office said shouldn’t be on the team?

His tats and tweets are cool tho amirite

He was sick

 

[Aesius]

No we don't. Give me Clausen. Give me Tee. Give me Fromm. We need a leader! And we don't have it.

Was a joke in response to the guy saying we needed a Tebow/Mayfield type

 

[Vols410]

This year is setting up so well for 8 wins if we just didn’t suck. Fantastic.

Would be true Vols fashion for the East to be historically awful and for us to be so bad that we can't take advantage of it and go 0-8 in conference.

Brent_Hubbs, post:

Maybe they make a move and Fulmer takes over. I don't know. Let's see what this thing looks like in 7 days. Hard to see things getting better given the play of Saturday and the reaction to it.

We are so screwed boys

Oh I see.

Sounds swell.

 

[Ron Swanson]

He was sick

Bs

 

[Jackcrevol]

So is everyone cool with the chance of Fulmer taking over...I think it will be more of a disaster

****. hell no, i'm jazzed by it. we should have never fired that man. #the goat!

and i mean the curse of the goat.

 

[joceppyjoe]

I am Mainly a reader but 1 thing that got my attention is that during Fall camp it was reported that Pruitt had signs up for the temp in Fla. I think they overlooked the 3 games before Fla. It seems that the Coaches and players thought they could show up and win

 

[engineerVOL]

So many new opposing QBs on beatable teams and we collectively pee down our leg.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Here is the reality: We are nowhere near talented enough to be relevant. Not just elite, but even good. We lack so much talent compared to other SEC teams its not even funny. There was optimism because of recruiting. Pruitt and Nieds can recruit. And they'll get us to relevancy. And then, after winning 8-9 games, they'll recruit even more talent and eventually, after putting together 3-4 years of top 10 recruiting classes we'll be ready to compete for championships. We'll be ready to be elite again.

Well, if this season goes the way it looks like it is about to, then recruiting will die. I don't care if its Nieds, Tee, Ansley and Pruitt out there. Recruiting will die. Then what? How do we recover from that? I'm not sure that we can. The future is very concerning right now.

 

[Catbone]

Lol god this reminds me of this random drunk I spoke to in Knoxvulla circa 2011. Guy said Obama is just being nice until he reveals his "true plans" in his 2nd term and is building internment camps

And I know you're just spitballing Cat. Just reminds me how weird humans can get when feeling stressed.

Yeah I'm just joking on that but man, something odd is going on down there!

Forgot how Manning, Tee, Clausen, Bray, Dobbs were balls of energy oozing Tebow and Mayfield swag 24/7 lolol. Manning was pretty chill, as was Tee and Bray was chill but a killer. Honestly Dobbs is the only one I ever remember with great leadership skills in college. Most college kids simply don't. Hell, TL, Tua, Deshaun, not balls of energy or runnin around on the sidelines. Pretty calm actually, never too high or too low. You know who did? Sheriron Jones had FIRE, Will Mcbride had MOXIE. Who gaf? They couldn't play. Comes down to execution, not some illusory moxie or energy. That stuff is for media narratives and fans.
