Can't help but wonder where we would be today with Mullen.

Pruitt is demanding and wants things done a certain way. He has a strong personality and he's a new HC. There are certain dynamics already in place at UT. That's why fit is so important. Not everyone is going to mesh with Pruitt's personality or the group dynamic. One-and-done coordinators set us back. We need harmony and stability for a rebuild, and if Pruitt doesn't hire someone who can provide that, we'll be going through this again next year. That will be even more detrimental.

Very well said.

Same win total or worse but definitely worse in recruiting

Tomorrow is one day closer to the end the NFL season

Basilio thinks Fulmer is blocking all of Pruitts candidates and making the hire himself. He’s a loon

One thing to remember about Basilio, he dogged Barnes as over the hill and just using the UT job as a means to retirement. He wanted him run out of town because he couldn't recruit 5 star players. Listening to him now makes me think he would eat a bowl of Barnes' sh^t, if Barnes put it in front of him.

Dammit hank now im even more depressed than usual. I might be over thinking it but in this EXTREMELY volatile situation maybe it would have been better to hire an established veteran coach to smooth out the program, and not a brand new HC that is by most accounts difficult to get along with.

I really wish it could have worked out with Helton, at least for another year. If Pruitt has decided he wants to spread it out with four receivers, Helton could have done that. And it'd be easier to sign those elite receivers if we had an OC. We have some offensive targets scheduled to be on campus this weekend.

Nobody wants us.

Leach was everything we needed in a coach. Honestly the days of having by far the best roster in the sec are done. He wouldve been the most creative and just being at Tennessee could pull good enough recruiting classes we have us around 10 wins year in and year out. I really believe that.

Can’t wait for our OC to break down how he plans to use all those offensive targets that will be here this weekend.

In fairness to basilio...basically everyone thought he was just collecting a check early on.

me too but i like the airraid spread to run philosophies of Longo and Briles even better, Longo has put up 8,000 yards in a season and 1275 plays. Briles has rushed for 645 in a game so i like where its going

I don't think our issue is Pruitt, it's seems to be the same as it's always been. I was hoping things would be different (and they still might be) with Fulmer as AD, but as of now is seems like more of the same. Honestly, if Pruitt has tried to hire people and Fulmer or some other admin/booster has nixed the deal(s) than we don't deserve Pruitt as our HC. Honestly, if any of that is the case he should just leave. However, it's also possible that Pruitt and Fulmer already have their guy and are just waiting for some specific thing or time to occur to announce it.

Oh nice! I came back to VN just in time to catch a ride back on the "Oh woe is me if we only we had hired coach A, B, C or D we would've gone 6-6 instead" train!

 

[eVOLve]

I sure as hell hope recruits know wtf Pruitt is doing.

 

[Ashevolle]

I’m amazed people are so surprised. If you polled a majority of OC’s out there—no shock but they are want to go where playmakers are—can’t make chicken s out of chicken salad ya’ll. Pruitt has to make this job attractive by recruiting playmakers on the roster—just not enough talent to entice a better OC. Money only goes so far.

Sure you can. Just feed the chicken salad to the chickens.

 

[Souce]

Let's just promote Roger Frazier to OC. At least he knows how to get the ball in the hands of our playmakers.
