Once UT has played their last game of the season, Pruitt should be fired and Freeze should be on a plane to Knoxville to be announced as the new coach. I’m done with Pruitt. He’s not the guy. He’s too much of a totalitarian to be a successful HC. It’s his way or the highway and that has never been a good recipe for success anywhere.

Why wait? Seriously. Why the hell wait? Because we always do, and we always end up with a list of candidates of the folks who no one else hired.

Move quickly and decisively. If not, then let's all get used to #2 again next year, more 'uuuuhhhh' press conferences, more 28-31 point blowout losses, and Pruitt being fired in 1-2 years after completely tanking the program.

IF we were going to make a move, and we won't for reasons outlined numerous times in other threads, it's time to roll the dice. High risk, high reward. See Auburn basketball.
 
I want to win. He is not the first nor the last man to hire a prostitute, nor the first nor last evangelical to show himself to be a hypocrite.

Heck, in his situation, the Liberty Dip must be as good as the Saban Dip, so he is cleansed and good to go.

Besides, it is going to be freaking infuriating watching him rebuild South Carolina into a solid program and beat us like a rented mule doing it.....but at least our church lady grandma types will have their pearls to clutch.

I’m all for showing Pruitt the door and hiring a new coach. Matt Campbell is my first choice, but I wouldn’t complain about Freeze.

"The only person who can hang with my junk is Jesus".

he said. after using a school phone to speed dial prostitutes.

I'm happy to let Liberty deal with his craziness. Clearly they are accustom to bargaining away their values for money.
Maybe Michael Cohen can help Freeze negotiate contract terms, now that Falwell has split with Liberty.

There should have been a "Helz" No option. Fulmer is to "High Brow" to ever hire someone like Freeze or Schiano (sp).

I’m assuming that Freeze wouldn’t leave his team now. But to fire Pruitt now, Fulmer won’t do that even though it’s warranted.

Queue... Who is Saban for $800 Alex? In honor of the late Alex Trebek (RIP)

You’re right. I believe Saban was once like that but it appears he’s listening to someone and willing to change. I’ve seen him and Bama evolve with the times. I can’t say the same for Pruitt.

Freeze would come in a New York Minute. But you're right, Fulmer wont do ANYTHING that will interrupt those checks hitting his account. He is going to ride with Pruitt until the bitter end.

When the time comes, it is going to take the Jaws of Life to get Fulmer out of that AD office and away from that paycheck.

Hiring Freeze is what we should do. What we will do is flail around for another couple of years and then hire Google McFartweed.
Why does this ring so true?..Well mainly because we will stick with him for another 2 years. MONEY..Then pursue farts in the wind

If Tennessee wants to be relevant again it needs to get off it's moral high horse. Also, that same stuff goes on here
I wanna win as bad as anyone on here i just think 3 4 years down road your program is looking at violations and sanctions..
 
I, for one, am all for letting a coach get his time to develop his roster into his own before looking elsewhere. But... with the way the game is going you need to have a great offense to be at the top. There is a reason UGA hasn't truly gotten over the hump of beating bama - They lack an elite offense. I am a defensive guy but you look at the last 4 title winners and there is a trend: LSU, Clemson, Bama, Clemson - all had elite offenses.
 
Sure... but you have to have an open position first.

Applying some Fulmer history here... I'm guessing that Pruitt's leash is at least 3 years longer regardless of what happens for the remainder of this year.
