Fulmer is tied to JP success at this point. Fulmer has crossed the line a few times as it relates to his AD role and some big time boosters are well aware of this when/if the time comes to ensure he is shown the door if the opportunity presents itself.

Exactly. This is why Pruitt gets another year.

Why are boosters not forcing Fulmer hand right now?

Our offensive play calling and usage of the offensive roster is awful.

Our defense is on another level of suck, but we have been told we have some of the best defensive minded coaches in the game.

Then Fulmer is doomed, because JP will not succeed here.

Honestly, I like Phil. But if he’s keeping a lame duck coach for an extra year just to keep his job, then he probably doesn’t need to be in the position in the first place. Frankly though, I think Fulmer is shrewd and politically savvy enough to make a move on Pruitt while securing his own position. But what do I know?

It's going to get very ugly isn't it?

I really think people are so enamored with Freeze because they want to believe our athletic administrators are willing to go “over the top” to win. You all want proof that we’re willing to throw caution to the wind and try anything.

It’s my opinion that Freeze is not a sure enough winner to warrant that risk, but after the last 10 years, I emphasize with the thought process.

I honestly believe he would do well here how many coaches that would be available that can say they’ve beat Saban 2 years in a row? The only guy I can think of is Dabo but he’s pretty tied up. I also believe there’s other decent coaches who could right the ship but freeze does bring an exciting brand of ball which is polar opposite of what we’ve seen in the last 3 years

It's not even about his job at this point, It's about ego. Fulmer has chosen to prove himself right instead of successful.

I just want them to make a change so bad. This place is going to suck if Pruitt is back for 21. I would hate for UT to lose to Vandy, but I think I would hate to keep Pruitt more.

I do think Tennessee wins, but this is Vandys only shot at a victory so you have to figure they will be fired up.

If UT wins maybe they will dominate and carry it over to an AM upset with good QB play and sound defense or Vandy wins and Pruitt’s out. I just hope the game is played.

Who wins Boosters or Fulmer if Boosters want Freeze and Pruitt gone this year?

My excitement level for next season is less than zero tonight. I want to think it's junk information and the insiders are wrong but I know it's probably exactly like they say. We're going to be 1 year too late firing a bad coach AGAIN. Surely, a pissed off JP wouldn't go for the lowest of the low next season... 0-12. Butch, Dooley, Kiffin have all left their mark and hurt the program. I'm worried what Pruitt is going to do.

Exactly! I enjoy and believe AV has connections! I also believe AV likes drama and pulling some legs. Sorry I don't take his bait! Have to admit he is good though!

We seriously may lose this. We are averaging 15.5 ppg since the Mizzou game. We are flat out terrible.

Guys just look at the recruits we are losing vs the ones we are offering. Pruitt isn’t going to close the recruiting class the way he has the last two years. He doesn’t have anything to sell. The longer we keep a lame duck coach the more watered down with non SEC talent our roster gets. Our freshman and sophomores are all we have. This class won’t be the worst but there’s no way the 22 class is a success when we miss on two Near 5 star prospects instate. Jordan James is bigger than Ty Simpson in my book. We cannot miss on him but we will.

I think people that act like Fulmer is tied to Pruitt ignorance, it’s not like the pool of available coaches was great after the crap hit the fan. He made the hire with his hands tied so I believe he’ll have no issue firing Pruitt if he feels that’s what’s best for the program
