But we're a special situation because our in-state high school football isn't very good (even though every elite program in the country is recruiting TN) and our roster is depleted below GA State level.Dude Georgia fired a 9 win a year coach to get a new one and I live in south ga, trust me if Kirby didn’t start winning at a high level immediately they were about to start getting rabid.. Bama did go through the same kind of thing as us and you know what eventually brought them back? It was filtering through coaches until they got the right one. It was not holding on to any of the losers they hired before Saban.
And if we don’t lose recruits?I can see your point here, but what happens when we lose the 2020 recruits? Botch the next coaching search? Do you really think another coach will miraculously turn the program around in a season? I'm no psychic, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that the result would spell catastrophe. Please enlighten me though.
Problem with this is Kirby inherited a loaded roster and they are smack-dab located in one of the most elite recruiting grounds in the nation. Bama also made a homerun hire, something most vol fans would agree, the utad is incapable of.Dude Georgia fired a 9 win a year coach to get a new one and I live in south ga, trust me if Kirby didn’t start winning at a high level immediately they were about to start getting rabid..

I'm going to be most fans didn't expect us to be winning the SEC this year, let alone the SEC East, but I'm going to bet they expected us to be at least 3-0 heading into the FL game. That shouldn't have been that hard of a goal to achieve.
They have the last four coaching searches.
Yeah I’m not arguing those points at all.. the guy was just saying that we should play the long game like Bama and Georgia. I actually think both of those programs are examples of why not to cling to a guy for to long if he doesn’t show you great improvement by year 2. Also Florida would be another example. They fire their coach middle of his third year after winning the sec east his first year and while it’s to early to say for sure it looks like that was the right play. If Tennessee had a coach come in and win the east his first two years we would erect a statue in his honor. I’m not arguing one way or another on Pruitt but I get tired of a portion of our fanbase always attacking the other part by saying we have the worst, most impatient fan base in the country. If they would Open their eyes and look around to other programs in our very own conference they would see that simply isn’t the case.Problem with this is Kirby inherited a loaded roster and they are smack-dab located in one of the most elite recruiting grounds in the nation.

After reading the bile spewed bay a portion of our supposed "fans", I surrender to your "logic" and propose this. I hope they give you guys what you want and fire Pruitt today. Give this year's team over to whichever interim coach to completely obliterate the rest of the year. When we have another large buyout to reduce the available liquidity for a coaching search and we receive even less interest from the "established" coaches community than before. I will laugh at those of you that wail and gnash your teeth as the team I love plummets into the Gehenna that awaits it. No coach with any potential would touch this program knowing that the have the potential of a less than 1.5 year turn around requirement.
When that happens, none of the miserable members of this fan base will have any right to type a single sentence of protest involving the inevitable outcome.
(Sorry to those this does not apply to, just expressing my venom at the ones who have no comprehension of reality.)
I see your posts, your a reasonable guy. You and I both know this is not ifs and buts. These recruits are Pruitts guys. Fire him, they gone. You could argue a losing season would lose recruits as well, but...yes, but, fact is Pruitt and this staff are damn good recruiters and perceivers of talent. There's no guarantee that the next coach will bring in the equivalent.And if we don’t lose recruits?
The ifs and buts game is dumb
