You poor thing, you are starved for attention today. This is what I posted and yes, it is verbatim:

“I think some people are calling Tyson Helton” (laughs)- Simonton, “I think A LOT of people are calling Tyson Helton” (laughs louder) “I bet there are no secrets in college football coaching circles about what it was like on this staff last year”-Rob Lewis. “I don’t disagree with that” -Hubbs

I know what VQ has said, and it is that Pruitt did not get involved in the offense until it was going bad. So I think we can say that Helton was not good here. Even if a head coach says we want to be a running football team, he can do that because he’s the head coach. Every head coach does that. But then Helton calls run plays on 75% of first and second down. Pruitt is not calling the plays. That’s Helton and that’s bad play calling

Hell Pruitt was first reported to have started working with receivers the bye week before the Auburn game right? Maybe he should’ve got involved sooner or just taken over play calling duties 😂

I just listened to the podcast. It sounded more like speculation and rambling than news being dropped. They said “I think” before each statement. JMO. Most people are going to interpret things how they want, and we definitely have some people here who want to stir people up and speculate.

To me, the way they said it was more telling than them adding “I think”. They’ve heard some things. Maybe their wrong, but they’re not just speculating for no reason. But again, the only reason this would matter is if it is affecting our OC hire. Hopefully it isn’t.

Yea but the underlying issue in all of that is if Helton is telling people that Pruitt won’t let you do what you want on offense then it’s will keep us from getting a quality candidate and we might as well promote from within. (Obviously we don’t what he’s telling people, but if he was miserable here like what was put out... it wouldn’t surprise me).

I don't believe Helton is running a smear campaign against UT. Fulmer helped Helton and his family into a good situation and made it a smooth transition, and I think there's mutual respect there. But the UT OC job isn't easy and the reality of the situation is going to weed out guys who can't thrive in that type of intense environment. And that's a good thing. Another unhappy OC would be a bad thing.

Ironically, it seems that Pruitt is now changing up the offense to what Helton wanted it to be all along.

Helton could have loved Pruitt and either way he would never ever turn down WKU HC job. He knows that is a very good job at that level to jump to other places. Please stop using the he took a steep paycut nonsense as reason to say omg he hated Pruitt so much he took a paycut. No he took that job because if your goal is to be a HC you don't turn down a job being handed to you that you know everything already about like he did.

Lol

You said Lewis thought Helton was calling candidates.

You poor thing he didn't say that!

You are putting words in their mouth to make them sound worse

Only way Helton is calling people Is if he is calling them back. He isn't watching the dang TN hotboard and calling them all when he has to recruit before ESD. Smh that people believe this mess.

I think the media is scrambling for talking points to justify getting paid. They're out of the loop and have nothing of true value to feed to subscribers.

I know for a fact vq guys used to like to stir up their board for clicks with certain comments. They used to have their friends rile everyone up under usernames trolling board to keep it going. I'll called him out on it behind closed doors and he deleted my account next day. THis was several yrs ago

I am beginning to think that part of this could be Pruitt letting the fans know that he will do things his way and our reactionary methods will not elicit a response from him. Highly doubtful it is really that, but it has crept in my mind a bit here lately. How much is it Pruitt sending a “message” to the fans?

If he is who he appears to be, he doesn't give 2 $h!+s about what the fans think about this.

At least I hope thats who he is. That doesn't make him a great coach, but that does remove an unneeded issue.

I love our team. My point was that I don't like softball as much as baseball because the game can be absolutely dominated by one or two players in any kind of series. The pitching mound needs to move back, IMO.

Nah, 43 feet is good when factoring in the rest of the field.

Why would he care about burning bridges for a guy he didn’t get along and disliked enough to take a huge pay cut to get away from? He has no reason to protect Pruitt - and he’s telling the truth to people who call him. That much is clear.

Maybe Helton was the weak link...it is all in perspective.
