It's like we are listening to the same crappy song on repeat

[The Tall Gguy]

Coaching search...AD promises the world. We hire an up and coming "rising star". It is beaten into us the new coach has a good pedigree or coached under a great coach. Great recruiter, players love him. He wants to be here and that's what is important.

Then the wins don't come, recruiting busts, player issues abound, and the dumpster fire reignites.

Then, we do it all over again.

Weve never hired a HC with the resume half as good as Pruitt

He's proven his worth everywhere he's been, some aren't gonna accept that.

Why can't guys like you just accept this is our coach? As said above, we've never had a guy come in with a proven ability to coach championship winning defenses. Are guys like you ever happy with anything?

Resume is impressive! Just hope he can recruit as good of staff as he does players! Plus, need to make sure the staff is a TEAM. I think that is one area Butch failed!!

 

[FLVOL_79]

Doesn't have a losing record as a HC..that is better than 2 out of our last 3 coaches..

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

We just hit the reset button. I'm excited to see what he brings to the table.

 

[VolsLady-in-FL]

I see the OP has been consulting his crystal ball and let us all know what will happen 2-3 years down the line. *Rolls eyes*

Just because Dooley, Jones, suck doesn't mean Pruitt will. He has a far better resume than they had.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Interested to know when he ever had to go into a situation like this and what the results were.

I'll hang up and listen.

It makes you wonder if many of the posters on VN really understand or even watch college football.

You're speaking from emotion rather than football knowledge. Pruitt is a great hire. He's earned his spot by working hard and succeeding at the highest level in multiple high profile programs.

 

[EricFreakingBerry]

Majors = previous head coaching experience, 57% winning % in 29 seasons
Fulmer = no previous head coaching experience, 74% winning % in 17 seasons
Kiffin = previous head coaching experience, 65% winning % in 6 seasons
Dooley = previous head coaching experience, 43% winning % in 6 seasons
Jones = previous head coaching experience, 60% winning % in 11 seasons

Anything about that list stand out to you?

 

[The Tall Gguy]

We will see and one of us will be eating crow. History is on my side, unfortunately.

What a great topic for another new thread of butthurt.

MacArthur Park.

What??? Butch Jones won Championships as a head coach and we see where that resume got us.

Pruitt has NEVER been a HC. And he's a ****ing gump on top of it.

That guy will NEVER put his heart and soul into this program no matter how much he's paid.

Picky, picky, picky.
I wonder how many are middle school girls.

Dooley also had HC experience.
and how did that work out for us again?

You know Mac Davis made millions

I saw the thread title and thought the subject was the Negavols rather than the coaches.

 

[vol445]

Wha???

 

[The Tall Gguy]

It's fine. Let the coach worshippers have their fun while they can. This guy may be a good coach, but he has an uphill battle...Mt Everest in shorts and a T-shirt. Enjoy the next 3 years or "rebuilding" and irrelevance.

Ok, and... The point is UT has NEVER hired a PROVEN coach other than Johnny Majors.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Fulmer is a VFL so your argument about him being just a coordinator is invalid.

You obviously don't understand how a real competitor thinks.

yet an unproven Fulmer won us a Natty, you're not helping your argument here.
