Intel on Pruitt situation

[sona]

What is a beaver but a big ol' water rat?

Nothing I wrote was intended to cause internal conflict here. I don’t know which booster/s had the meeting except they were influential enough to actually force a change.

Blinking causes internal conflict here. Whether you intended it or not, you got it.

And the new DL coach (Pruitt) hasn't improved the DL one bit. Wish Pruitt would now fire his own ass.

I could get behind that move.

1. Group of Boosters forced Pruitt to fire D Line coach. This was not Pruitts decision, several boosters are extremely weary of Pruitts performance and demanded change.

2. Big boosters are as factional as they were 3 years ago. Only way buyout of Pruitt will happen within the next 2 years is if UT can get a big time potential hire that incentives boosters to invest in the expensive $12m+ buyout. There is desire to get Pruitt out but there has to be exit strategy to a much better coach. The $12m will not be paid to go get another unproven Coach.

Trying times for Vols fans. Hasn’t been a fun decade.

TOTALLY INACCURATE

Would love to hear what you think happened with it.

Prominent Engineering School Water Rat was too long of a name? Try to remember the old login instead of starting fresh.

 

[orangemadam]

I can see this logic. We shouldn't make any move unless we have assurances that a big time "name" coach is willing to come here.

 

[DiderotsGhost]

Tough to think of a more reliable source than some anonymous rando posting on an internet message board with a post count of 5.

Pruitt voluntarily resigning would be a gift but I don’t know who you go get as a replacement. Next hire has got to be perfect.

Gruden owns some land in East TN and may be getting tired of the Draconian fines from the NFL.

Care to at least somewhat tell us how you got this information?

I trust deer park and Larry.

I see very little of both on here anymore though.

Either say it, book it.

Anyone else.....hard pass.

Deer park has been FOS for a decade. Larry actually knows his stuff

I am NOT one of the said boosters but I am very close friends with one who is. THERE IS ZERO DESIRE TO PAY A HUGE BUYOUT OF CJP.

 

[BigBadVol]

LOL at this thread! A lot of credibility with the OP.

I agree with you, I am saying there is desire to get Pruitt out but no one wants to pay $12m. It would be up to AD to entice boosters with a proven coach to see if they would help put up the money. Won’t happen this year, unlikely next year, decent chance in 2023.

“The boosters” (or at least one in particular) are part of the problem

Which one?

Whatever [rolleyes]

If boosters can't get behind Freeze then they are hopeless quite frankly

 

[orangerush]

The inside BS. It’s almost worse than losing.

did this group of boosters also tell Pruitt do fire him during the game?
