Yes....lol......better thsn reality TV...Neyland is burning down...the sky is falling...dont see where statements are not drama.....just stirring the pot and adds nothing to the situation which OBTW sucks....

It’s just a statement you make it drama.

Good decision. Good timing based on new information that’s come to light and following due process. Good optics based on Pruitt and AD coming to the correct conclusion. Fire burning no hotter than usual.

You know the new information?

 

[doctorchoice]

The new information would have had to come out between the time Sean McDonough talked to Pruitt this morning and when he was dismissed in the afternoon. It seems doubtful, but it may be true.

Boo. Bad move. Terrible move.

I'm not very happy with the program right now. This is terrible, now he has a couple years to kick our butts at a rival school.

 

[Dudleys87]

I’m thinking Fulmer’s a disaster.

Maybe, to early to tell.
Can’t see Fulmer keeping one and not the other in these cases

 

[tastycar]

Pure speculation... Could the new information be something that Pruitt has known all along but because of media pressure, suddenly it is 'new'

 

[PEPPERJAX]

I'm not very happy with the program right now. This is terrible, now he has a couple years to kick our butts at a rival school.

Or we recruit a better player with less drama?

 

[Dudleys87]

People over react.... what!?!?!

 

[allvol123]

I'm not very happy with the program right now. This is terrible, now he has a couple years to kick our butts at a rival school.

I'd need to know the new information to make an informed decision.

Based all the info available to the public at this point, this is a horrible decision.

 

['Boro-vol]

Im not so sure of that.

No...you expect sports media to pick it up, but not the Laura Ingraham Show. I think whoever put it out may have outkicked their coverage.

 

[Wylo]

Am I missing something? He should've been dismissed, right?

Not a joke. I figured he would be dismissed. He deserved to be dismissed.

 

[KBVol]

Good grief. When Bituli graduates we’ve got To’oto’on and that’s it at MLB

Peterson. Beasley also working at MLB. Also, could easily move Crouch to MLB, which is where I think he’s a better fit anyway.

 

[Dudleys87]

Pure speculation... Could the new information be something that Pruitt has known all along but because of media pressure, suddenly it is 'new'

Probably not.
Not sure there’s a good way to keep this in your back pocket just encase things go bad...

 

[Lane Train 4]

How many parents will allow their kid to go to a program where the attitude to shoot up cops is ok?

It's not a parents decision. It's frankly non of their business.

Good decision. Good timing based on new information that’s come to light and following due process. Good optics based on Pruitt and AD coming to the correct conclusion. Fire burning no hotter than usual.

What did they due to follow "due process". Please tell me the new information.

 

[volfan2024]

Well I hope a lesson is learned by him and the coach.

 

[Jravol78]

BANKS ROBBED!!





Not really , I think it’s an unfortunate yet necessary decision . I just always wanted to yell that out

 

[PG1]

Something even newer must have come out since the last report.

WEED!

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

And he couldn't get on the field when he did...

Now's his chance.

 

[Dudleys87]

Am I missing something? He should've been dismissed, right?

Not a joke. I figured he would be dismissed. He deserved to be dismissed.

Making a silly statement no things like that happen. If he would have been responsible this doesent happen and he’s still playing.

 

[615vols]

Vq mentioning assault. Don’t know if true or not but that’s what’s over there.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Pruitt just practicing to see how it feels to get dismissed himself.

 

[VolsFan-TX]

Pruitt screwed this kid over. The warrant that kid had should have been resolved. The school could have paid that ticket off for the kid. Banks did his part the school knew the kid situation, but Pruitt didn't make sure the situation was taking care of. Bad on coach Pruitt part.

What?!? Pruitt said he was unaware of the warrant. The school cannot pay off the kid’s ticket. Put the blame where it belongs....on Banks. The ticket and warrant were not the biggest issues. Banks’ attitude and statements were bigger issues.

 

[Dudleys87]

WEED!

Prolly not. It’s so common now they don’t even take a second look unless it’s a lot.
