Is there any way you could get me their holiday wish list as well as where they are located etc? If he is a Vol fan I might also be able to put together a little something special for him and the family as well. Hit me on email with any details you have and we will make some magic happen.

Billy Napier is a good coach.

Born in Cookeville, his dad was a very successful high school football coach in Tennessee briefly, but mostly in Northwest Georgia.

Would not be surprised if he were waiting on Tennessee too.

Count me in on him as well. Built his career the right way and appears ready for the big time. Would understand what UT is about.

In a potential coaching search, how much stock do you put into cultural fit? What I mean by that: how important is it that a potential head coach understands this job, the expectations, the area of the country, the conference, etc.?

I’ve always felt Knoxville is more Appalachian than southern - we’re more like Lexington and Charlotte than Atlanta or Birmingham. Is that a factor at all?

Good topic but zero. There has never been a more popular coach in my lifetime than Bruce Pearl and he was a Jewish yankee.

after listening to, Wes Rucker 🤦🏼‍♂️. as much as I want a change, logic is prevailing over emotion. Fulmer is settled in, Pruitt is his guy.

A change wont be made until next year. We cant afford a $40 change. Esp after last **** show.

Well, then let’s just keep losing and thereby continue to lose revenue as well.

Revenue was already lost. Losing hasn’t hurt it more than it already is. Next year is Pruitts year of Make or Break. Period. It’s all his players. If they don’t produce then that’s on him and staff and he should be let go.

All of you need to stop your griping unless you plan on paying all the coaching staff Buyouts.

Eh not really. I know everything is not ok and I support the program 100% regardless if things are good or bad...they don’t need to sugar coat anything to get my $. Some VFL’s are pissed and guess what there are also a lot who lIke JP and think we need to stay the course with him. Opinions on that matter are like assholes...and you know what they say about those.

This 1000 percent. VFL's are appreciated but they are not in on the decision making. They will be listened to but just because you played football doesn't mean you get to have a vote on decisions in the AD. I like the passion of our fans and wanting to win but just because you know a VFL or a few, they are still fans like most of us are and the weight of their opinions are not going to determine if CJP is fired or retained.

We do pay it. We’re the ones who buy tickets, merchandise, and food/drink in the stadium. We’re the ones who watch the games which gives them their revenue from SEC network. We are allowed to complain about the product that we’re paying for.

Couple of other potential candidates should a
HC occur and Hugh Freeze is not selected (1st choice IMO)
Neal Brown (WVa HC)
Scott Satterfield (Louisville HC though he is having a bad year).
Both are offensive HC which is prime requirement.

I'm just gonna throw this out there.

I don't care who the coach is. I don't care if it's Pruitt. I don't care if it's Freeze. All I care about is winning. That's it. Just win. But, I keep reading these guarantees that Freeze is "the One". If we knew that beyond any doubt, I'd be all aboard that train, but we don't. And right now, we have a good recruiting class that will absolutely fall apart if we fire Pruitt, putting us that much further behind when it comes to simple talent level. So any coach coming in would immediately be at a disadvantage again. So when people say I'm risk adverse, you're damn right, I am. I'm not opposed to moving on from Pruitt, but I also don't want to watch our recruiting class fall apart. And sure, maybe it does anyway IF we keep losing, but right now, it hasn't. And I'm not going to hope for losses for any of that to happen. Not because I like Pruitt, but because I cheer for every player on that team, even JG, as much as he puts me into fits. I cheer for the Orange and White, not the coaches on the sideline. And yes, I'm also greedy and want the kids currently in our recruiting class to stay committed and also wear that O&W. All of that, and yes, I want to be great again. I don't have much faith Pruitt can get us there, but I don't have faith in Freeze either. I guess everyone sees what they want, but I see a coach that cheated at Ole Miss and still wasn't competing for championships. And yes, I see the success he's having at Liberty, but I also looked at their schedule, which wasn't that impressive IMO. Currently, I just don't see that coach out there, willing to come here, that I actually have faith will be the one to get us where we want to go. And it's not about loyalty to Pruitt. Like I said, I don't care who the coach is as long as we're winning. But I don't share the faith many of you seem to have in Freeze, and I don't want to take another step backwards. I'm not that old, but my health is not that great. I'm tired of going backwards. I want to see this team succeed again before I leave this Earth.

I am at the point that as long as the recruiting class stays intact, I can give CJP another year because he is going to have to play his talent which I think is good enough talent to compete at worse and win 10 at best if they are coached well. I am more concerned with this staff than even JG. They should still be able to put him in a place to manage us to 5 wins in this schedule that is all SEC. 4 at a minimum. If you are upgrading staff then fine with turnover. You could argue some of it was guys getting promoted by going to the NFL to coach. I think this class is really even better talent wise than what the overall ranking is. Main concern for me is the Line recruiting but it is not a finished product either. But if this class falls apart and we see signs of it then you might as well pull the trigger because he is done. Going to be an interesting few weeks.
