Next year will be total hell In Knoxville if Pruitt comes back. 75% of the Knoxville & Nashville media, and fans want him gone today. He is a statewide punchline now... a poster boy for the athletic department’s failures. The lost revenue for the fall of 2021 season will be drastic.

I see many people making guarantees this week, but this decision has many moving parts. The idea that you’re gonna guarantee multiple new assistant coach contracts for 2 to 3 years for a head coach who’s only gonna be here for one more year at best is finically criminal.
