Eh, I know it’s not that simple but it still is kind of funny... I also remember people saying those same kinds of things when people brought up the Dooley beating butch thing... people called anyone who made that comparison idiots.. guess who the real idiots where?

For many years the same fake news is fed to us. We fall for it over and over. When
Pruitt speaks it will be done.BE97EBF6-BF29-4A10-965D-2C20112BC5AF.jpeg

You do realize this information wasn't reported by Swain first, right? That's kind of my point, he's simply repeating something he's read elsewhere.

Swain has no idea what's going on with the hire, like the rest of us.

Right but instead of bashing the man and saying is just regurgitating crap, at least admit the fact that what he is saying is probably true... Can’t say he has no idea when he clearky just gave information...

Been known for a while. Swain regurgitates stuff all the time. Swain and Ainge tend to find themselves looking outside in as far as insider information.

What he's saying is that since many believe he's CJPs top choice he's still the OC for Auburn and collecting that check. If he was going to be UTs Of he would have already taken the job before today.

Because he was so accurate in the process of the coaching search which ended in Pruitt???

I think any between Lindsey, Freeze or Enos would be great hires. My pick (not that it matters) would be Lindsey he has a proven track record everywhere, at Auburn Gus has him handcuffed to run his stuff and it's not working. It's not his offense being ran at Auburn it's Gus's offense and without a mobile QB it's not all that great which is probably why Lindsey wants out. Either way I'm pretty comfortable with whoever Pruitt chooses out of the names that have been talked about

If Lindsey's offense needs DT QBs to be successful, then why would Pruitt hire him when none of our QBs are true DT? They can run, but not very well.

Swain doesnt say things he is not certain of. He prefers being right over first.
Swain isn't an insider with any more info that we have access to. I ln saying that, I love his show and think he's a respectable guy, but our coaching fiasco proves he didn't know anything.

I feel like you are defending your point. The truth is Swain knows nothing more than what we have access to. Nothing to defend brother man. I didn't take it as bashing. He doesn't have any idea.

Gus's offense needs a dual threat QB to be successful never said anything about Lindseys needing one

We all know how this will go. The longer it goes on the bigger the let down. Expect a google worthy hire and hope for someone that has a decent track record. We don’t get big splash hires at TN. Kiffin was last splash and he’s begging for a better position now.

Can someone tell me why in the world our guys think Chip Lindsey is a good idea? Probably a better choice that Friend but from first observations this looks like a terrible choice to me.

My gut feeling has been Lindsey, Enos, or Drinkwitz. I think if it were Freeze or promoting Friend that it would have already been announced.


Friend is a,last resort so once all other candidates are considered, then fall back on Friend
Why promote Friend now

It is a bad omen to hire the coach of a team we've beaten (with inferior talent at that!)

If Friend was the first option as thought they would have already promoted and moved on. Early signing is 19-21st. Now I could maybe see him being a last resort which if thats the case then Pruitt is not the guy for the job.

Looks normal to me. Says he is set to receive the bonus today. Had to be employeed thru yesterday, gets the bonus today. May not actually get in his hands until tomorrow?
Yes but if Malzahn was going to fire him wouldn't you do it before Saturday to save the 100k?

Lindsey would be a bad hire for Pruitt. TN desperately needs a home run hire, a hire that shows TN is moving forward & going to improve significantly offensively. Hiring the OC from the team who finished 95th in total offense is incompetent. Too many other options with far better offenses than Lindsey.
