Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[UTK]

This fanbase created a petition to get a basketball coach out who quite honestly wasn't that bad. They're nuts if they think we're just gonna sit on our hands while they casually bring back the worst coach in UT football history. YES THE WORST. Dooley didn't lose to GA State, BYU and wasn't losing every game by double digits in year freaking 3.

Did he abuse women and children? Does he win football games?

If the answers to those are No and Yes and in that order then let’s ride.

He was the girl’s basketball coach at briarcrest and there were accusations of sexual harassment. Nothing came of them but they’ll resurface if we hire him

It’s so perplexing that Fulmer would hitch his wagon to Pruitt. Fans would 100% be behind him getting a mulligan.

I’m starting to wonder if he found out earlier this year that his wagon was hitched to Pruitt whether he wanted it or not, and is just desperately trying to keep himself in the AD spot.

Sunk cost fallacy.

When someone is making $4-10 million per year to coach sports. it's easier to expect more from them, esp if a public figure.

Sure a bigger platform but still...doesn’t make it right.no amount of money should determine that

Terrible awful news from Ray UGA

Good grief Mom give him his meds and lock him in the basement.

Did they surface when Ole Miss hired him or Liberty? If not why now and not then?

 

[amavol2]

Yes bring him

I’ve heard Saban is a delight.

Firing him isn't the issue.

It's the hire that comes with it that is.

If you're gonna go in to full on riot mode.. I'd wait.

Ever think the reason we might retain Pruitt is because we can't/didn't get anyone at the top of the list?

I say chill. See what plays out.

I had never heard much about him either, but after I read up about him, he would be a lot better than half the names that have been thrown around. Troy had never won 10 games in a season in program history, he won 10 games three out of four years there, including a conference championship and a win over LSU.

Should've hired him 3 yrs ago. Short list for Barn job too.

Because that's how things work when you're a Tennessee fan. Always expect that kick to the nuts because it's coming.

I hadn't heard this before and was curious as to how the other schools handled it if it was an issue previously.

I get it. But you got to fire him first. Part of the issue with the last ****** hires was you held onto the last guy a year too long which causes the new coach to be even more behind.

Pruitt coming back gives me the sads

Pruitt coming back gives me the sads

Whenever I look at a pan of cornbread now, I feel this wave of sadness overtake me

 

[Govolsman98]

Believe all good news because it’s fun! but there are certainly a couple guys on here who know nothing but pretend that they do

I've been trying but that Fulmer statement has me worried. Maybe I'm just putting too much stock into it

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

Wait, we're actually bringing back Pruitt for another year?

That's 110% correct. We'll bitch and moan about the product but, come Spring Practice, we develop amnesia and think it's 1997 again.

Screw that. Pruitt can't ruin my love of cornbread. What else am I supposed to eat with beans?
