ape is dead to me

Damnit. Ape and Ape are fightin again.

 

[Squints]

Guys, I know several of you will be disappointed. Give him a chance. Pruitt is our next HC per several sources now, deal is done. Let’s come together and support our beloved orange!

No.

 

[luthervol]

I'm holding out for the last glorious twist in the coaster. If it's Pruitt, sad day...we lost.

But I still think.......Gruden soon.

 

[SLOBBER_KNOCKER_U]

Glad this garbage is over. I found myself wanting Pruitt over gruden towards the end. Either you want the job or not. Sh** or get off the pot.

 

[VolNate]

Can’t wait to see how all the talking heads explain how we embarrassed ourselves!

Hope springs eternal!

 

[knucklehead_vol]

Knuck, where you at.....?

Here. Looks like the counter wasn't good I suppose. Could be a good hire with right coordinators. As many are reporting it could be done with Gruden.

 

[tdbigo]

Not what we wanted. That said it's been a hell of a ride in this thread and you all are great! I hope Pruitt is our Swinney and we don't have to do this again in 5 yrs. If he just wasn't from bama....that would sure help.

 

[Achilles]

If from what I read is accurate and Peyton was truly “blown away” by Pruitt, then maybe there’s something there we can’t see at the moment. Let’s be honest, he knows virtually every coach, he’s one of the best minds of football. If he was “blown away” then there’s something there.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I’m fine with Pruitt. Way better than Schiano and Doeren. Better than Botch. Hopefully we get a bad-a staff and kill it on the recruiting trail.

Gruden ... don’t want to hear you talking about Rocky Top and how much you love it. Don’t really care if you ever step foot in Neyland again. Stay out of our future coaching searches — just say, “thanks, but no thanks.”

Next time don't fall for it again.

 

[Garren04]

Woah so counter was denied but I thought y'all said gruden countered so we denied his counter??? 🤔

 

[sdvolunteer]

Screw this

16 years of coaching in Alabama.

Absolutely ZERO bias.

Wtf is wrong with Phil.

Phil said he would find the BEST coach he could. He never said orange blood. We were in a bad spot. Give the man a break, he did all that he could do. Pruitt is a good coach.

[UTSuave’]

And there it is. Game over! Excited for this hire!

Accepted the job and is basically done?? Well ole jimmy we got a jiffy don't we...........not buying it **** EM ALL TILL GRUDEN SAYS NO!!..someone!....light me🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

 

[Orange4Prez]

Pruitt is a huge win. Sad to see several of you feel like he isn’t. We almost were stuck with Schiano and Doeren, but Fulmer came through and got us the best DC in the country and one of the best recruiters. I can’t wait to see what his staff will be. Praying Tee is a part of it!!!

Please explain how you know he is better? What is his coaching record again?

Ok, now we can afford an insane staff. And they better pay up for it

 

[loosedog]

Lurker....thanks for all the entertainment and laughs. I'll now be more productive at work. Bummed. Especially for a guy who still carries much more vitriol for the bammers than our other rivals.

 

[Smokeytom]

Maybe we should stop doggin' on Hyams...?

 

[TennGirl0723]

Well, just saved me some $$&. I feel like I’ve been kicked in the stomach. Even if it wasn’t Gruden. I was hoping for something better.

 

[SHOWOFF]

SHOWOFF... you’re up my man. Anything?

It appears the counter wasn’t accepted and the media has been notified.

Haven’t heard anything back

 

[jp1]

Next time don't fall for it again.

How about next time don't be such an a$$.

 

[VolNate]

ef ‘em!

We would if he was orange but that pos is bammer red

I'd like to care, but it's a damned either way sort of thing. Either he implodes and is fired, or he succeeds and bounces back to Bama or somewhere else. It's another band aid on a gaping wound
