Lost me at “Hyams said”.Hyams said he talked to a prominent booster this week, and was told by that booster that Pruitt absolutely would not be fired this year.
Booster said, point blank, that finances was the reason.
According to Hyams, South Carolina has 30-40 million in their athletic reserve. Tennessee has 10-11 million.
Amazing the excuses used when hiring a competent, established coach is the issue but boy, there is plenty of money for the vultures feeding off the carcass of what was University of Tennessee football. In a way it is disgusting how poor performance is rewarded, at all levels.In my opinion, if we do not have the money to terminate, we do not have the money to extend, raise, and pay "retention" bonuses, the current athletic department leadership cries poor mouth while using the athletic coffers as their own personal piggy bank, where they would be unemployed anywhere but here, I'm done on the giving and season ticket side of football, I can hit the secondary market for what I want, but no reason to be spending money to watch buy games with this bunch of buffoons in charge

We can all thank Phil-o-Potamus and the BRILLIANT extension before the season even started.Hyams said he talked to a prominent booster this week, and was told by that booster that Pruitt absolutely would not be fired this year.

Empty Neyland is better off empty than with the knuckle heads that post garbage on this site! They would fire Bellicheck or Saban if they lost a game. Irrational is not accurate enough to describe what these people are like. Have been since the early 70’s!UT is going to be in real shock when come next fall Neyland still looks like peak pandemic. Go ahead and extend Jeremy again Phil and give yourself some more time to run it even further into the ground.
You're right. Hiring and firing bargain-bin coaches is the way to go. TN and it's boosters will save themselves so much money keeping Pruitt through the end of his contract and then hiring Bob from The Acadamey for the deaf and the blind.And it’s the first big buyout USC will pay in their history most likely. They didn’t have one with Holtz or Spurrier.
Tennessee on the other hand has paid buyouts for 3 of their last 4 football coaches.
People using USC paying out Muschamp as a legit reason for us to fire Pruitt are delusional. The circumstances are no where near comparable.
Lol you're right our expectations are too high... Go team go, rah rah rahEmpty Neyland is better off empty than with the knuckle heads that post garbage on this site!

We'd want to keep them if the won ****ing football games like they were being paid for. How ****ing stubborn are you to be blaming fans instead of the actual people in charge of this mess?Name me a coach that Tennessee has not wanted to fire since Bill Battle? Fire Majors, and all the rest. Even fired Fulmer, a coach some would call our best! I’ll wait Night Rider! And that includes basketball.
As you have seen 4-5 times previously, no decent coach is going to come here and work for idiots that want to FIRE every coach since Bill Battle. And, DID fire the coach that won a National Title. No coach in his right mind will touch this place. Money doesn’t matter, these posts do. FACT!We'd want to keep them if the won ****ing football games like they were being paid for.

Same booster that told him Jeff Brohm was coming to UT?
We were also in the red when we fired Dooley, so what
