CJP compares program to Titanic

This is an article at the top of Yahoo News right now. WTF. I've tried to be supportive, but how dumb can you be.
After another crushing loss, Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt compares his program to the Titanic

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Well so far the season looks like a sinking ship.

Another one sucked in by a selective media quote taken out of context.

El o el

Not the worst historical analogy, but pretty bad. This was the worst.

Sinking Ship? We hit the iceburg 10 years ago, and have settled in nicely at the bottom of the sea

Someone who actually believes anything that Yahoo puts on their site must own a lot of Florida swampland.

Most journalism is clickbait now days.

You missed the point. He said as the ship sank you saw all the rats come to the top and expose them self and during a coaching change the same will happen and during this year you will see the rats and only the best players and ones with the correct attitude will play.

Well, there are some pretty nice deck chairs here and there...

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Interesting take. So he wants to know who the guys are who dont want to play and give their all for TN? Yeah what a horrible thing.

That actually make more sense as a quote.

That one made total sense to me lol.

He didnt compare the program to titanic, the poor team performance is enough to blast pruitt, no need to make stuff up.
He used it as an analogy of rooting out bad players....too bad he couldnt do that before we lost two awful games.

Most journalism is clickbait now days.

And most sports journalism is like something out of a high school paper.

If Pruitt were older maybe he would have remembered the The Poseidon Adventure where a group fought like heck to survive ... and see the morning after. The message was that adversity exposes both the best and the worst.

I get the point he was trying to make, but I would hope he could have came up with a better source for his analogy than rats running to the top of the Titanic as it was sinking. Lol

 

[rocketskates]

One of the most accurate quotes he has said so far

Thanks for providing the actual context and clarification for everyone grabbing their pitchfork based on a thread title.

Writer going for quick clicks with a dubious stretch. Of course CJP didn't intend to compare the program to the Titanic, anyone can see that. But, he did choose a bad analogy, since the rats/mice wouldn't be going anywhere if the ship wasn't sinking. I swear the more he talks, the more he needs not to talk. Surely a half billion dollar enterprise could with an experienced PR department could do some kind of training, right?

 

[JazzMaster001]

I think he's trying to get fired at this point.

He still can’t see how bad the current QB is somehow.

It's almost like JG knows where the skeletons are buried ... or maybe his family just has other NJ connections.

You dont have to convince me he isnt very good man....lol

 

[Voltopia]

Yes, yes, let's crucify Pruitt for every single thing he says or does which isn't 100% polished Nick Saban excellence and beat him down until he's ready to jump ship too. This is surely the winning edge.

I know I’m just venting. Lol
