Jeremy Pruitt told Vandy NO

[Captainzach1]

I don't know why, but this makes me so happy. I love that Pruitt completely passed on Vanderbilt. I assume he knew it was a hopeless situation.

I'm praying this turns out to be a good thing.

Why would Coach Pruitt have taken a coaching job at a hopeless place like Vanderbilt?

If we’re bragging about this it’s kind of depressing.

Vandy OWNS Tennessee for the last several years...

Maybe Pruitt can lead a team to beat them.

It's very difficult to win at places like Vandy without a "gimmick" and Pruitt isn't really a "gimmick" coach. He's also the type of guy that would rather compete for championships as an assistant than compete for bowl games as the head guy. It's funny he rejected it, but it makes sense. I don't think he would've made a very good fit there.

They'll only be your boss and make triple the salary

Tennessee has not been relevant in over 10 years. Why does anybody think that it won't take some kind of "gimmick" system for the Vols to sneak up on teams?

Sort of like the Old Northwestern cheer "That's alright,That's Okay,We're going to be your boss one day"

We'll I knew we had to have some bit of good news this Monday. Pruitt could have made them a legitimate team.

The last 5 of those years we had a coach who's MO was gimmicks. That didn't work out so well

It is easy to see why a coach would pass on Vandy. There is no, zero, nada bit of support from the alumni or administrators at Vandy. Let’s face it, Vandy has money and could build facilities that would make the other teams in the sec cry. They are one of the few institutions that could pay nick enough to coach for them. But, they just don’t seem to want it.
My dads cousin was a teacher of Micro Biology at Vandy. He was a huge Vanderbilt fan and wanted nothing more than for Vandy to beat Tennessee each year. He would have loved to have seen Vandy mount an attack at the national championship. Sadly he passed away having never gotten to see his team even beat Tennessee with any regularly. What is up with sports over there?
