The season isn't over. Holding a team, a staff and a recruiting class together is still a thing.

Most fans don't care anymore. Recruiting classes don't matter if your head coach can't do anything with them. Pruitt needs to go. It's as simple as that. None of us want to watch a pruitt coached team anymore. He is done.

I don't get this eruption of vitriol. Nothing has changed this week. UT has been staying the course all along, with no intention of doing anything else. Opt-outs are negligible. The recruiting class is amazingly intact. The guys we need to stick are sticking. Most of our top recruits, including Salter, still plan on signing early. Brooks is still solid. Staying the course and focusing on playing and recruiting is exactly what stable, unemotional leadership should do right now.

Losing to Vandy would do more harm than good. And actually wanting to lose to Vandy and posting it on a message board that recruits read...

I understand why there is no big money coming in.. they don’t trust the admin will do the right thing with it. We’ve seen this for 10 years now.

Sign up for espn+ and then just cancel. They may have a free trial? It can be hard to cancel though. Sign up on your phone. I made the mistake of signing up on my firestick and it was impossible to cancel from the firestick. Tried to cancel from my phone and it said you have to cancel from the device you signed up on.

So you've missed the part where the product on the field is awful? Got it

No. I'm glad our administration is acting like they're running a billion-dollar business. They don't need to publicly announce what they're doing, and they certainly don't need to make emotional knee-jerk decisions. They need to do exactly what they're doing-- keep moving forward, control the controllables and work behind the scenes to find the best resolution to what is clearly a big problem.

AV, you can just say Haslams in place of big time boosters. We are all aware of the dislike between them and Fulmer. I’m sure they are the ones feeding the Freeze frenzy, trying to push Pruitt and Fulmer out the door. I still don’t understand why Fulmer doesn’t get a re-do. He was up against the 8 ball when he took over with a horribly botched search by Currie. He didn’t have any real candidates when he had the position to make the hire. This is all absurd. It’s what is wrong with our program and university. Sad and despicable!

He does. Haslams are making a play to bind them together but I don’t buy it for an instant. They want him out and are trying to fool the fanbase into supporting their move while they will turn around and force us to hire whatever oddball coach Jimmy has fallen in love with. Fans need to keep calling bs and the other boosters need to stand up and make a real hire, specifically Freeze, happen. Haslam’s are going for a kill shot that can and should backfire bigly if the other boosters had any balls.

Honest question. Does it not irritate the living hell out of you when an Alabama moron, who is driving our program into the ground to start with act like a total arrogant ignorant *******?

I hope he gets fired and gets back to his reality. A saban follower who can only coach 5*s, which isn’t impressive really. We are done with the bama moron.

I’ll go back in my hole now. Thank you for everything you bring here and do for our university. We are just sick of being a middle tier program with loses to Kensucky, Ga STATE, BYU, Vandy

Never root against your own team. I don't care what good you think it can do. It's unnatural to have any positive thoughts about an opponent.

It doesn't matter if Pruitt signed the top class in the nation, he just isn't a head coach. The players he signs arent going to be developed either.

I dunno. Their track record of studied competence is...lacking, let’s say.

Yes if the coach continues to talk.


A coach has to immediately stop the contact. Basically say we can’t talk. I’ve know ncaa compliance to check the length of phone calls to decide if done correctly

Maybe the kid is not contacting coaches…

Billion dollar businesses also have a repository their consumers to let them know what's going on. Its not a knee jersey reaction for Fulmer to come out and say hey we are evaluating things and if we deem any changes nessacery they will be made at the end of the year. But going on vol calls and ranting about Johnny Majors to a fan base who has supported this awful program for the last 13 years isn't the way to do it.

Recruiting class intact? You haven’t noticed the handful of late offers to no name 2 stars last minute to fill the class? I would normally be optimistic about that and talk up how they’ll be developed and coached up by our staff. But I’ve seen none of that happen with the current staff so unless you’re a 5 star elite best of the best and don’t need further development, coming to play for this current staff isn’t a good idea and they won’t help win games in the SEC.

Unemotional leadership? So it doesn’t matter to leadership that this coaching staff can’t seem to develop its players, can’t coach them to win, can’t manage the roster properly, cant game plan to their strengths and expose the opponents weaknesses, frankly, they can’t seem to do anything required of the job. They might have not seen enough but the rest of us have. Our staff is trash, our leadership is trash, our entire program is trash and that tends to bring out emotions from people that actually care, like fans.

Well he might now because he’s performed well vs. Florida.

I’m just saying the decision to play him vs. Florida (and Maurer too in certain formations) was all about trying to keep one of them around.

Idk why one of them wouldn’t reach out to Mullen with the way he turns QB’s around

@LA Vol @Atlanta VOL Please tell me HB is solid and doesn’t want to transfer. We need to prioritize his development and give him every opportunity to be the future. I am afraid the staff is going to make him regret his decision to come to UT by not giving him a true shot. If we run a two QB system next year that should be a fireable offense. Seems like the only one they want to give full faith to was JG. You can’t be playing HB and JT part time next year.
