Jimmy Sexton at his finest, ladies and gentlemen. If you all think for one second he cares about Tennessee, you are sadly mistaken. I get that he does the best for his clients, but I think he goes too far and does not care who he bends over in the process.

An agent that cares more for his alma mater than his clients is hurting for clients.

I would assume he had to accept a salary that was within the norm for the job. I bet 35k for analyst isn't out of the norm when considering all of college football. Bet there are some very low salaries at smaller schools

The former players responses to Pruitt are extremely encouraging.


We did make a big deal about butch getting a standing ovation from his team in cincy when he told them he was leaving. Still not sure that was true though

Oh it is true. They were thrilled he was leaving ;)

He's a straight up azz. I don't think it's a great revelation that Coach Fulmer would want a chance at redemption after the way he was ousted after a great tenure as head coach. I also believe that he loves Tennessee and will give his all for us in his new role. He is more than happy to run Athletics and let Jeremy Pruitt do his job. Adams is just, as usual, trying to stir the pot.

Is Bruin Adams? :)

Depends on the lens you are looking thru. Sextom has a fiduciary duty to do what is best for his clients. If he let his emotional attachment to any school, even if it was an alma mater, interfere then he is not doing good job. As UT fans, that pisses us off. But it's his job to use the circumstances that exist to leverage his clients and make them the most money possible.

We have been thru enough coaching changes around here to Know in everyone of these there is a "new standard" and the new way is heaven while the old way was hell. I recall so much buzz about the new culture when Lane got here. Fulmer didn't know how to run a practice during that time per the buzz

The bottom fell out of it for CBJ though. He actually had a good thing going his first 3 years. His last two is where he lost it.

I would say Pruitt is running better practices than we had last year and I would say the buy in from players is better than it’s been since 2015.

I've got a lot of the same questions. It certainly seems like prospects are taking a wait and see approach with the staff. They probably want to talk to current players after spring training breaks to get a feel for how this staff operates practices. More potentially disturbing is that many will wait to see if this staff can win games and,as usual, out best chances to win conference games and achieve bowl eligibility will come in November with ESD on December 19. Supposedly, we got an all star recruiting staff. Most everyone gave them a mulligan for 2018. If they don't deliver this time, I think they'll be in too deep of a hole to climb out of.

i think it's fair to take a wait and see approach, fans and recruits alike... they're doing all they can with the spring ball to open it up to recruits and HS coaches so they can 'see' what they're all about, and what it'll look like. fans are getting more of an idea as well. definitely different than CBJ's ways......short of games in the fall, that's all you can do at this point.

i think from reading recruit's comments after visits, the staff is doing nothing to hurt themselves with these 2019 guys. and it's still early enough to where they can gain some ground and win some of those battles.

the reality is, for most of the higher rated recruits, it'll be later in the summer, in to the fall, before a lot of them commit.

that said, it would be nice, especially on the offensive side of the ball, to see a couple guys pull the trigger, and provide some momentum for some other offensive guys to see what the future might hold, if enough of these kind of guys wind up here.

a top notch QB doesn't want to come play behind a bad OL, WR's don't want to come play with ?'s at QB etc, etc, etc.....

i think it's prudent though to hold off on any judgements until after December. gotta long way to go. and a season to play.

was nice to see the '20 commitment we got yesterday....top 100 player, #6 athlete in that class, and could rise.
