The Earth is not flat. The moon landing was brought to you by the Nixon administration.

:eek:lol::eek:lol:Obviously you did not want Pruitt for our coach. Have no problem with Pruitt finishing out with Alabama...there are dead periods where no coach can have contact with recruits or potential recruits so this is no problem. I admire him because he is honoring a promise he made to the players way back...integrity, intergrity, intergrity!!!

I have never heard of a situation where a major football school hired a new coach, but the new coach remained at the original school, an arch rival school, to help them for another 6 weeks.

Why would the new coach want to do that?
Why would the head coach (Saban) allow it?
Why would the new employer (UT) allow it?
Why are we putting up with it?

Don't make excuses or lame justifications. We need all his time and energy here now. We have lost the fan base, recruits, and our reputation.

Today, is our new coach for us or is he for Alabama?

I can't argue against your thinking because 1.) You already have your mind made up. 2.) You can't ever sway someone's mind that's close minded. Done responding to you.

Yes, it COMPLETELY matters that it's for a championship.

Colorado State is not in the CFP. And as much as most people don't want to hear this, anything outside the CFP is a fairly meaningless exhibition game. Butch Jones made a living of whipping up on those Big 10 opponents and it made most of us pretty happy to see it, but when it came down to beating those Top SEC programs it never made one iota of a difference.

Do you honestly think for a minute that if Jeremy Pruitt is or is not standing on the sideline when/if Alabama wins another championship it's going to make one bit of difference to what the program value or status of Alabama is?

I mean, it'll matter ZERO in the real world, but obviously it'll sting the feelings of a few delusional, out-of-touch fans.

See, you're a hypocrite then. So is Pruitt. Either all kids are equally important or it's about something more than the kids. "Won't somebody please think of the children" doesn't play if you're saying only some of them matter.

If his presence there aids Alabama, it hurts Tennessee. That's the bottom line. There are plenty of things that need fixing here. Plenty of work to be done here. But he's spending a month there.

Nothing he's doing there benefits Tennessee at all. Everything he's doing there benefits Alabama.

The head coach at UT is aiding Alabama while not giving 100 percent of his time to Tennessee.

My big question is are we paying him to do it? It's salt to the wound if we are.

Anyone who thinks the future outlook with Kevin Steele at the helm looks just as bright as Pruitt needs to have his head examined and VFL card revoked.

Another person who doesn't know what the dead period means. He can call and text any recruit in the nation during the dead period. It simply means no face to face contact.

Do you feel we should just be without a staff for a while then? I mean we took two coaches from Colorado State in the middle of their recruiting and bowl prep. Is it fair to them and their kids that those guys aren't coaching them? Does it only matter if they are playing for a championship?

Also, Pruitt isn't their coach any more. He's the head coach at UT. Therein lies the problem. The head coach at the University of Tennessee will be swathed head to toe in Alabama gear in the most watched game of the season, cheering for Alabama and trying like heck to make Alabama the best team in the country. It should be a nightmare to any Vol fan, especially any Vol fan over 30.

He hasn't resigned from Bama yet. He hasn't signed the dotted line to contractually obligate him to UT yet. Relax.

Can’t believe you guys are upset this guy wants to fulfil his obligations. I think it would look bad for future recruits if he bailed. We will have coaches out recruiting and they will be playing off of the fact that their new head coach is currently playing for a 4th title for a team he helped assemble. That’s holds some relevance if you ask me.

If he expects his new assistant coaches to leave their current teams then he just invalidated the reason he gave in the press conference.

Sounds like you have the answer already but yet you ask?

The answer is simple "It is Because He Can" "Because UT allowed it to Happen"

Fact we may have two coaches in the National Championship Game. It's good PR....

How much do you guys want to bet that if Auburn had beaten Georgia, Steele would've wanted to coach the CFP? What about Mel Tucker? You have NO idea whether or not he'd want to coach the CFP if he was the guy.

So then I assume those of you hating this wanted us to hire Joe Dirtcoach from Arkansas Technical Institute of Losers because he has "plenty of time on his hands" for just us.

Why is it not also relevant that he has obligations to UT?

Don't confuse the snowflake and interrupt his self entitled rant with fact. He wants his coach and he demands him on the job now by gawd...or else!

If he were coaching Cal in the whatever dot com bowl, it wouldn't nearly as painful But he's helping Nick Saban reload his guns to continue kicking us in the pills. I think you overestimate the effect on a recruit wrt telling them that the NC DC is now a head coach at a dumpster fire. Especially if NC coach Nick Saban comes to them and says come to NC Alabama.

Your just being ignorant. I bet if he would of tucked tail and ran off on Bama you would have started a thread about him being a coward for leaving. No sense In arguing with people like you. It is what it is. Deal with it. It will get us some positive PR as well which we desperately need.

Write a letter. Maybe he’ll prematurely resign for you.

Because he is an honorable man and truly cares about the players he left behind. His example of not abandoning his players before a big game, should be a big plus to those he is recruiting to Tennessee. Besides, if he happens to get another championship ring, all the better to impress recruits.

Well yes, he did, and they are not coaching in their bowl games. He was getting ripped yesterday by CSU fans for taking two of their coaches 10 days before their bowl while preaching about commitment to the kids. They aren't being allowed to stay at CSU to coach, they are working (as they should be) for Tennessee.

But we've been assured that kids don't matter unless they're playing for the NC.
