Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[Orange.]

I claim neither intelligence or wisdom but having the players vote seems like a poor decision to me. That's what coaches are for and seems like it's a recipe for rifts.

Seems like an attention seeker making up.

 

[Vol423]

Not doubting your source, but do we really think a coach with Elarbee's level of experience is going to let the players decide who plays with a vote? Seems off.

I’m doubting his source. I call BS!

 

[IMissTheMidRangeGame]

Actually interested in what Georgia looks like next year. It will be a major reset year for them. All the guys that have been there for their run will be moving on and it's all the new guys that have been recruited in during that period. And Bobo's system. Obviously, they will be fine but something I've been looking at

It took an elite OC in Monkin to be an actual title threat. You think Georgia beats Ohio state with Bobo? Heck no. Their defense will carry them to at least 10 wins but I don’t see them sniffing the championship game

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Reportedly, Utah is down to their 3rd string QB to start vs UF.

So fing lucky. And they'll still lose.

What happened

 

[drvenner]

From a player on the team. I guess elarbee had the room vote for who should start and Crawford got the spot over Mincey and it pissed him off

This is not that believable.

 

[SSVol]

I most definitely blame Kiffin. The way he left (because he didn’t appreciate what he had) led to Dooley which led to Butch which led to Pruitt and all the nightmares in between those.

We can disagree.

Kiffin's behavior was indefensible, but there was nothing about UT at that point that forced a Dooley or Jones or Pruitt except lack of vision and leadership. I have zero doubt that with a system president like Randy Boyd and an AD like Danny White we would have made a good hire and avoided the disaster. Whether that was by finding a quality lower tier guy like Heupel or recognizing the existential threat we faced and overpaying for a big name to prevent the damage, they would have handled it.

With the leadership we had, yeah, it was over when Kiffin walked.

 

[Vol423]

I don't understand. If he was punching the ball out and punched AR - oh well ish happens. But why are the Eagles practicing with a Colts QB?

NFL teams often hold joint practices (against each other) during the preaseason.

 

[Orange.]

Many people I know on our team were hanging out over here being BFFs with me and sharing inside information that harms their own interests just to get in with me, because I'm really that important, and because AC was not at home that day.

They told me Mincey said to tell @ACvol3 this:


Then Elarbee asked the entire OL room to vote and they voted unanimously that Mincey had done right.

Was hopeful Cam Rising could play.

Bubba gonna give him a taste of his own medicine, but he will be wide awake when it happens.

 

[UTProf]

NFL teams often hold joint practices (against each other) during the preaseason.

I still don't understand why anyone got upset about it. If you're trying to punch the ball out, it's not like he just walked up from behind and hit AR for the hell of it.

 

[SweetasSoda]

No, it wasn't. Yeah, him leaving the way he did was bullsh!t of the highest order, no doubt...but, not only did Mike Hamilton hire him, and not only did he give him a contract where he and USC had to pony up only pocket change for his buy-out, Hamilton is also the one who hired Dooley, period

Anyone who says Kiffin BEFORE Mike Hamilton, as it pertains to these last years since, we'll just have to disagree.

As far as Dooley's hiring goes, all Hamilton had to do was not panic, first and foremost, have some balls about you for fk sakes, name an interim for the season, an entire season for him to make a very good list of candidates, hit the ground running the moment the clock struck zero in the last game.

I've always said Hamilton should shoulder the VAST MAJORITY of our fall's weight.

Also, the way Hamilton treated Fulmer, he should have the sh!t kicked out of him.

Not that I don’t blame Hamilton…but hiring him would have been considered a good hire if Kiffin didn’t decide that Tennessee was not good enough for him! (Double negative necessary for LK).

 

[Vol423]

I still don't understand why anyone got upset about it. If you're trying to punch the ball out, it's not like he just walked up from behind and hit AR for the hell of it.

Me either. I wouldn‘t have had a problem with your scenario either.

I could understand Colts players getting upset about it, but not the Eagles. I’m assuming the story was either incomplete (Colts‘ offensive linemen then started fighting with Barnett) or erroneous (It was Colts’ players that took offense with Barnett’s move).

 

[Ten_Titans]

Don't touch the guy in the red jersey under any cirsumstance is basic common sense since pee wee football.

Love some Vol Derek Barnett. But being an idiot between the lines has definitely been a damper on his pro career so far.

 

[Skullbone]

Well I'm on VFL Barnett's side on this one, red jersey or not. Sounds like he was going for the ball to me and it worked itself out. Go Eagles.

 

[SugarCC]

Not that I don’t blame Hamilton…but hiring him would have been considered a good hire if Kiffin didn’t decide that Tennessee was not good enough for him! (Double negative necessary for LK).

Red flags, even then, with Kiffin; Al Davis tried to tell everyone what kind of dude he was...as Gary Patterson waited by the phone. In Patterson's own words, "Tennessee didn't think I could handle the big stage", meaning Mike Hamilton thought that. HE would have been the good hire.

While yeah, it sucked, the way Kiffin left, nine out of ten of us would take our dream job, without hesitation...I would. If i were hired at USC, and a season later the Vols called, im gone, see ya, no questions asked...it being my dream job, it being the place ive always wanted to be, no matter where else I'm at.

Hamilton, as all ADs do, should have been prepared for it; and, that preparation should have NEVER included the likes of Derek Dooley.

 

[Weezer]

Not saying that is going to be the starting lineup come Virginia, but that’s what he had them do and he got pissed. I thought it was weird too, but that’s what happened.

Let's take a vote on whether or not we believe this.

Jeffrey Dahmer agrees

Do we still have the death penalty in Tennessee???

And a few in the police department need to have some punishment!!

 

[Weezer]

Let's take a vote on whether or not we believe this.

I wonder if he gets mad and leaves?

 

[Leeleesteeth]

This is not that believable.

Not that believable and the kind of crap that should never be shared. Team business is the team's business. Not the media and not the fans.

 

[Orange.]

Let's take a vote on whether or not we believe this.

I vote that all of AC's morphing hearsay lacks all credibility. But that #96,499 is surely true.
