So... here is a little exercise I feel like doing, just to try to get some perspective on where Pruitt is as a head coach. The numbers are completely subjective, but I'm trying to use a point system to highlight the high and low points of his time here to get an idea for where things are at.


Year 1:
Pruitt is hired, Baseline: 0
Inspires at the Introduction Presser: 1
Acquires a top level strength coach: 4
Assembles an expensive experienced staff of high quality recruiters: 5
First signing class. It was short notice. Swung big and missed on a lot of them. Fillers have done not much of note: 1
Drop of season ending injury occurrences overall: 3
Inconsistent offense in year 1: -5 points
Lack of development of older players: -3 points
Upset of Auburn: 5 points
Upset of Kentucky: 4 points
Disappointing losses to Mizzou and Vandy to miss a bowl game: -10 points
Self admission of essentially losing the team at the end of the year: -5 points
Retrospective hire of Helton: -5 points
Avoidance of Helton buyout: 2 points
2nd signing class: 7 points
Media / Fan relations: -3 points

Total: 1 In retrospect, I'd say that is pretty fair. Some good and bad, everything pretty much washed out.

Year 2:
Perceived problems in landing a OC: - 4 points
Hiring of Chaney: 5 points
Retaining Fitz as strength coach: 3 points
Questionable upgrade of Ansley: 2 points
Hiring Tee: 4 points
Georgia State Loss: - 15 points
BYU Loss: - 3 points
Regression of QB: -10 points
Lack of progress of most other players: - 3 points
Regression of defense: - 7 points
On field confusion of assignments: -5 points
Perceived schism of older and newer players (lack of buy in): -7 points.

Year 2 Total so far: -40

Total: So, without any preconceived outcome, I assigned the points above, which are obviously clearly arbitrary based on my opinion. You may have differences in opinion, point totals, etc, but let me math this real quick....

Pruitt's job performance so far merits a -39. He needs to do a lot to get things going in the right direction, because it's clearly trending down.

I think part of the problem is that Pruitt didn’t understand the process. He was trying to explain that the kids have no family to help, and he had a state trooper help with the process. Not sure he understood why a warrant was issued.

But as I said before, it was a learning moment because I don’t he knew that would be a public conversation.[/Q

And it shouldn't have been a public conversation. I get that CJP is a public figure and state employee, but Banks is a student. Something is wrong with that.

John Adams was on Finebaum this afternoon. Those 2 lovebirds were absolutely fawning over Pruitt, Banks, and the state of the Tennessee program.

We all knew this was a 3 to 5 year rebuild from the get go. Coach learning, players learning. Hang in there fanatics.

Meh


We all knew this was a 3-5 year rebuild but let’s not pretend to excuse the complete flop this last 6 game stretch has been. Nobody and I mean nobody expected this debacle and it’s time we stop defending it like it was expected because we knew a long rebuild was coming.
