Yep, they scared
Well! Well! Well! I see the subject is still about Georgia, huh? Of course they are scared...Ive been saying it all along. Smart cant beat Pruitt...:lolabove:lol:
Sorry, read a story at the bottom of the link
Murray and Pollock are scared of Pruitt
Tennessee Vols: Is there a smear campaign against Jeremy Pruitt?
As it turns out, that 247 writer a couple years ago who wrote the scathing article with anonymous sources within the Athletic Department about Jones was 100% right. He caught a ton of flak on here, but he was dead on the money. Jones was insecure, erratic, ultimately fostered an awful, toxic culture and was not able to successfully manage a program the size and scope of Tennessee, and the anonymous quotes about Jones from his article were spot on.
I remember reading that and thinking how spot on he was.
Me, too. At that point, after the awful 2016 season-ending beatdown loss to Vanderbilt, when Jones wouldnt even face the media after the game that helped wreck an incredibly disappointing season, it seemed pretty dang evident that the article was 100% spot on. Yet, plenty posters and other vol fans ran that guy through the mud.....a lot of people dont like the truth, especially when they dont agree with it.

But let's keep perspective here. That first season where BJ produced a team that produced few penalties and won 9 games appeared like he and the program turned a corner. The bad UF loss looked like an outlier. Granted the following season we were 5-0 (defeats of UGA & UF both) when we rolled up against TA&M and the wheels fell off. That previous season and when we were 5-0, there were VERY few in that choir singing about how bad a coach BJ was, VERY effin' few. Before the start of the 2016 season, after having lost to Vandy the previous year lots of rumblings and dissatisfaction coupled with the anonymous NFL scout who was quoted about the "soft" UT team. Few were happy with how that 2016 season turned out and 2017 was the end unless BJ pulled a rabbit out of his hat. He produced not mediocrity his last season but a shiznit show. So there was not a bunch of people early on clued in to what BJ was. True some dumped him earlier than others but again, when we were 5-0 and had defeated both UF and UGA, his detractors here at VN were VERY effin' few and far between. He WAS a joke all along turns out, but he sure didn't look like one for about a season and half of his tenure on The Hill.
