I prefer stopping this rotating door at HC at Tennessee. Is Pruitt the guy? I don’t know yet but I know his kids are playing a lot better and wanting to win. The upperclassmen aren’t committing to win or their ceiling is just short of expectations. It’s not Pruitts fault a lot of the roster was recruited on Stars over ability. I’d sure like to give him more time and see where we are rather than take on the idea of hoping we get it right and dealing with Bing Mcgoogle nxt year. The fat cats aren’t going to approve any hire mentioned on this board and deep down we all know it
There's no appreciation that with early signing, the infamous "year 2" is now really year 1 for new coaches. If anyone looked at it rationally, it was clear that early signing was going to be a ball buster for first year coaches trying to build a team to his type of play. To most people who've had a career in a large business or military, you'd also know that people who've been there and done that detest and resent almost every new boss when someone decides to reorganize or otherwise rearrange the deck chairs. It is almost a give that due to age, players will (with few exceptions) have bonded with the outgoing coach and see his forced departure as a stab in the back; that's not good for an incoming coach, and NCAA recruiting rules don't allow a quick fix.
