He was there 8 seasons. 8.5 win/4.4 loss. In the SEC West, it's not awful.
2-5 in bowl games, so regular season 66-30. That is 8.25-3.75 win/loss.

While it’s certainly better than what the Vols have had lately, I’m middle of the road on him ..... he might fare a little better in the East though.

Pruitt is still on par with Johnny Majors at this point - ahead by a game maybe. Majors had a national championship to his resume as HC when he came to TN. I for one wanted Majors back at UT ... for a while. I wasn't thrilled about the Pruitt announcement - I like hiring assistants (Neyland, Dickey, Fulmer did did reasonably well), but Pruitt didn't inspire me. He may or may not work out, but plenty of "sure thing" coaches don't work either. The most cringe worthy thing I've heard from Pruitt is actually very common across the coaching profession - the thing about guys who win at practice being the ones who play on Saturday.

You can't compare Pruitt to Majors, different game, era and expectations. People would be calling for Major's head if this was his first 3 seasons.

How much more evidence do you need to realize Pruitt isn't the guy? He has shown nothing to give us a glimmer of hope of ever competing with the top of the conference let alone a championship. There are 1-2 "sure things" in college coaching and neither will ever be coaching at UT but there are several with established records of winning with lesser talent, building programs and putting guys in the NFL and that is what we need.

Hog doesn't believe in women's sports.

Ever since they passed him over in his gender fluid years, he's been bitter.

Damn right I am. When they wouldn't even let me try out for the women's beach volleyball team I was hurt. I rocked that uniform!
