I don’t know why it was D Line coach, I just know it was Boosters who met with Pruitt and forced the change. I don’t know if the boosters wanted D Line coach to take the bullet or if that piece was Pruitts decision.

I also agree that boosters are part of the problem, lots of big money guys with egos but not great football acumen.

If the A.D. allowed that to happen it would be shocking. The A.D. is supposed to be that interface and the money guy. I obviously don't know if this is true but seems really, really unlikely.

Deer park has never posted any info that I know of which wasn't true. Also doesn't gossip or claim to be an insider...just a guy who works in the AD. You folks listening to Beaver instead are getting hoodwinked

1. Is absolutely, 100% false. Pruitt made the change himself, against the advice of his AD.

2. "Boosters" are given way too much credit on message boards. The last two times UT has had an opening, the money has not been an issue in trying to hire a coach. Getting someone worth the money to say yes has been the issue. I don't think that changes.

Secondly on the boosters, remember that the pandemic has affected their businesses and portfolios as well. UT is already asking money folks to go above and beyond their normal number just so they can come close to budget. Facing a $40 million deficit, nobody is coming up with an extra $20 million to blow out the staff this year.

this makes me sadder than watching out team did Saturday night.

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.

Thanks for the reply, DP. Would Tennessee be able to put property or some some assets as collateral with some money or is that legally out of the question?

No, cash transfer to the University system. Just like paying the tuition bill.

I don’t believe #1 because we have people on staff right now to coach QB. It makes no sense to drag Pruitt into position coaching.

But I believe #2.

No. 1 is bullshat. 100% false. Didn't read no. 2 because of the absurdity of no. 1

That being said, we're severely dysfunctional on both sides of the ball. Clearly Pruitt is in WAY over his head. I don't see how anyone could even think about debating it either

I've kept up with DeerPark for yrs. When he speaks, you'd better listen.

Maybe, I have been told exactly conflicting statements than what Deerpark said. If he works in the AD then you need to take things with a grain of salt especially if the information is undermining to the department. Also, if Deerpark does work in the AD then my message to him is to stop hiring JV people to negotiate contracts for Coaches. The level of incompetence that the AD has shown in the past 15 years is beyond unacceptable.

If Hugh Frees is gettable, we absolutely should pull the trigger! What needs to be done eventually must be done immediately!
