Pruitt dismisses Banks.

[KBVol]

Wasn't Bryce cleared of wrong doing? Charges dropped?

Yes.

 

[615vols]

Supposedly tmz is going to drop something else related to an assault.

 

[Dudleys87]

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.

Now I’m sure one of the fat cats would pay off a ticket If it was worth it..

 

[FLVOL_79]

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.

Banks just learned a lesson in personal responsibility. A betting man would say that lesson probably isn't learned still..

Just go the hell away dude. Go hit the ‘Canes website would ya?

This appears like it was Fulmer's decision. This situation makes Pruitt seem like he is either not in control, or very indecisive. This was a bad look for the program, all around.

Or, as is stated in the released statement, more information became available.

Hard lesson are often learned that way and it takes many times to get it right

If there was really new info to surface, then I'm sure it will eventually come out. For now I'm kinda shocked and not sure how to feel?

He might have busted his pee test or maybe he actually did track down that lady on campus that was riding with the officer and say something to her. If something new happened, good on Pruitt.

 

[615vols]

Yeah I already said “if true” few posts back. Also “supposedly”. Lol how many more terms can I use?

 

[Advol]

Great Move……………..late but needed to be done.
One word sums up Banks remaining on Team.............DISTRACTION!!

Pure speculation.

This is what happens when you want that kind of roster. It only ends one way....

See the 30:30

 

[ShoalCreekVol]

I guess the only bright side I can find in this is it really enhances Pruitt's Fulmer Cup points.

 

[VolArmy74]

Pruitt misjudged the amount of alumni anger the shoot the police comment would cause. Once it went national on Fox, the writing was on the wall for Banks. I've seen and heard from multiple over 50 donors who were angered greatly by him not being removed from the team immediately and they were writing/calling UTAD. When the $$$ get mad enough, things like this happen. It could be truly some new revelation but I'll be shocked if it is.

 

[rocktopper16]

If he assaulted a women, wouldn’t be had been or would be in custody? You can’t hide anything from the Knoxville media.

 

[thegasman54]

Some folks bout to join the anti pruitt ranks.

Lol even when you get what you want you bitch and complain !! Wow you are a joy

Why would he come out and say he backs Pruitt and then go against Pruitt?

This was most likely a fat cat flexing muscle

 

[garbear]

Kick off Bryce Thompson too then

But he is a starter

 

[VolFootballIsLife]

Kick off Bryce Thompson too then

Why? Totally different situation.

 

[VolsFan-TX]

This is all on Banks and nobody else. That statement about shooting up cops was horrible in this day and time.

There has never been a good time to speak about shooting up cops.

Every cop I’ve talked to said they hear worse from people in the back of the cop cars, Mostly threading to murder them or catch their house on fire.

I didn't get snything, was I supposed to get something?

 

[mitzustu]

Two words for next year. Grad transfers.

 

[hog88]

On one hand you “know jack squat”.....on the other you definitively state that “no new info came to Pruitt’s attention”. You nor anybody else on a fan forum know what Pruitt and Fulmer do or don’t know.

If new information conveniently came to their attention weeks after the arrest and days after the video dropped then Pruitt is way the **** over his head.
