You going to pay a coach 4 million a year to not be here at all and then pay another DC 1-2 million a year? Last time I checked 5-6 million cost more than 4 million. I could be wrong though. At least moving him to DC you get value for the move. You don't just throw all of it away. By the way, Dave Aranda makes 2.5 million as a DC.Wrong. You going to pay a DC 4m a year? LoL! Stay off the crack.

Best idea yet!! Pruitt sucks, get him out!not sure why everyone is a Tennessee financial expert.
But seriously it doesn’t cost Tennessee to fire him.....unless I missed some kind of “firing bonus.” Maybe I did, I’m often wrong.
It would “cost” to hire someone else while still paying Pruitt.
However if you know it ain’t working.....like Pruitt himself said.....it’s best just to do it.
Then just move Tee (or someone) to interim for now. Now....Pruitt is fired and it hasn’t cost you anything “extra” monetarily.
Let Tee (or whoever) know they got 1 full year (to see what they can do, and all that Jazz). For next season you bump Tee up maybe 250k or so and.....we see.
It either works or it doesn’t......and your only out an extra 250k or so.
I mean.......if you wanted to fire Pruitt, but say “they have to wait until after next year.”
You don't let Tee anywhere near the HC spot because once you do the pressure will be there to keep him there and the expectation will be to bring in a bunch of former players as assistants who don't have a clue. Tee isn't even a good position coachnot sure why everyone is a Tennessee financial expert.

His contract is for the position of Head Football Coach. That's a breech of contract, and therefore UT would owe JP his full payout. Also, JP would NEVER accept that offer. Why would he? He can get paid 4mill/yr, while he sits on his ass in Aruba.Move Pruitt to DC. Bring in Freeze as HC. Freeze would come here for a low salary for a few years. If Pruitt doesn't like the demotion let him walk. No buyout if he leaves on his own.
I wasn't aware you had read his contract and it specifically stated that another HC couldn't be named.His contract is for the position of Head Football Coach.
