I don’t like @InVOLuntary but we text during the games like gentlemen. Check it at the door. Hate each other on your own time.

I can see that about Invol. Always starting something, always wanting to meet me at Waffle House for a fight and stalking my post for any mistake I make. Here I am the nicest guy on the board.

And I think your beef is with agents who have created this world in which “progress” through two seasons gets a new football coach an extension.

Absolutely no one complained about that extension when it was announced, because we all knew it was coming. Does it suck in hindsight? Sure. But every athletic director would have been forced to do it.

Even in foresight, Pruitt had no leverage. What’s he gonna say? I need an extension or I’m leaving to be the DC at Bama? If so, take the attitude and leave. And if something like that wasn’t said, why would you just offer the extension up? I said, that’s with absolutely zero knowledge of the AD, but from the outside looking in, it was dumb. Even in foresight.

Love how the fans and everyone with an ounce of sense and intelligence is screaming “FIRE HIM” and Fulmer is just like “But I don’t wanna!”

The only thing I’ll say about Pruitt is that the team is still bought in and we haven’t had massive numbers of opt outs and many of our best recruits are still committed and have reaffirmed their commitments.

So there is a chance that it isn’t nearly as bad as we make it out to be. The losses are bad yes, absolutely. But I mean in terms of the team quitting.

So there’s that. Anddddd that’s about it.

Who hires Freeze first in the SEC?

Tennessee?
Auburn?
LSU?
Florida?

Only chance Mullen moves on from Florida is for a job like Texas or an NFL job. However, he might never be more in line for one of those jobs with what he's done with Trask than right now.

If everything goes south with Oregeron, I believe LSU could kick the tires on a coach who beat Alabama twice while coaching in the SEC.

Auburn will possibly do it if they decide to move on from Gus.

Tennessee could do it, should do it, but likely won't do it because Phil has a 15 year grudge against him or something like that.

Not sure of Mullen's thinking, but he probably has very little incentive to leave UF. He is very stable there, great recruiting base and fans and admin solidly behind him.

Ive attempted to do my best to find reasons not to fire him. There are coaches who get canned for less, ill say that. Continuity is important, but, part of coaching is to do the homework and complete the equation of Potential Hire + Assistant Coach Vacancy = Good Hiring Decision.

Fulmer has righted the ship, he made the best decision given the circumstances. He has gotten other sports fixed, much better than his predecessors who **** the bed.

So, i'm done with the Fahr Fulmer talk. That is just stupidity at this point.

Anyone hoping we lose to Vandy for sake to fire a coach is also, in same boat. However, winning isnt foregone. We shoulda beaten KY & Ark, who is bad.

No easy way to slice it. This staff bears a heavy price tag, and, something stinks. I question is wiping slate clean is most effective at this point? I think you keep Chaney, and make him coach QB's. Move Nieds and demote or can Weinke. Friend is gone.

Bring in a LB coach, and, RB coach if Graham leaves.

Wiping the entite slate is expensive, sends bad signals...might as well hit the master reset for HC at that point.

I think we may see those out outs in January or maybe sooner.

I’m sure getting UT back to the top is his main goal. But maybe he’s just not cut out for the job. Just because he was a great coach doesn’t make him a great AD.

It’s my main goal to get UT to the top also. Should I be AD?

I am beginning to believe the same way.

AV, if you choose to believe him, let us know that Fulmer has hitched his wagon to Pruitt. Enough said. The something you said that stinks is Pruitt. Fulmer is choosing to throw himself into that same stinch which will ultimately be his downfall, for as much good as he may have done in the past.

Better learn to like Friend if Pruitt gets a ninth life because Pruitt’s chosen him to be his righthand man. Just look at all the coaching changes and he’s gone nowhere but up in the pay scale while his on-the-field product continues to go down.

Sometimes you gotta let things get worse before they get better. Whatever gets Pruitt out the fastest is better in the long run.

The only reason Fulmer is the AD is because he took over in a unique, emergency situation. That was a coup, basically. It's analogous to a government being overthrown and there being a power vacuum, and that led to a situation where someone who otherwise would not be able to get into that position got into that position.
