As I was traveling today, the radio host were loving the idea of Pruitt to TN. People who know this guy seam to absolutely love his coaching style. I really think TN fans need to get onboard with this hire, especially if he brings big time coaches with him (which I think he will). This isn't the instant fix that a "proven" head coach could give us, but it very well could be a slam dunk hire 3 years from now. Pruitt can coach defense and recruit.

You guys that are complaining. What the heck do you want? Pruitt has a great background. Great recruiter.

This hire has great potential

You were one of those Gruden or bust guys weren't you?

 

[NEVolFan]

Could still fall apart.

Bev's at bat.

So who did you want chief????

An AD and group of boosters that don't monumentally eff us over.

An administration committed to backing the brinks truck to a great coach (like Bama did with Saban).

Minimal signs of give a damn from anyone at the school, really.

Petersen, Patterson, someone that wins. Someone proven.

Good ol Rocky Slop

What the hell would be wrong with this hire?? What is wrong with u ppl??

 

[peerless98]

A first time head coach. What could possibly go wrong? Ugh.

Have you looked at the results of similar DC when they were hired as HC's?

 

[Stoked]

See everyone in 4 years! Love this game we keep playing.

You'll be back sooner once we start winning.

 

[ButchPlz]

You were one of those Gruden or bust guys weren't you?

I go to and post in the Gruden thread because that is the only group of Vol fans online that post with joy and expect greatness.

Try again. I would bet you we will be back at this hiring crap again in three seasons.

They didn't want the job. Money doesn't buy everyone.

Many are prepared to hate at first sight...

 

[JADB]

Hugh Freeze as OC...

 

[Bleed-Orange]

My prediction now....we allow him to coach through the playoffs in exchange for Tee as OC.

Currie never went after anyone. He narrowed on Schiano and we rightly pushed back. Did that make this job toxic? Sure, whatever, why not.

At the end of the day we were screwed by the admins and a terrible AD.

Dude we have fans here that had to google him. What do you expect?

 

[andywilson001]

I’m totally underwhelmed by this news.

 

[Thorp32]

Bev's at bat.

Ha ha. This is scary. Her average is not that good.

Exactly! With the right OC, he will easily right the ship!

 

[MyVolsDropped]

I've never been a head coach before. Pick me Phil. I'll do it at half the price and I bleed orange not crimson.

 

[vol4life1976]

I say we use pitchforks to any negavols that even think of giving Pruitt any crap.
