Football Program Under Investigation [merged]

”afraid this investigation shuts the door on FREEZE hire”

Better established coaches out there we can offer. Hiring freeze is all about hiring a good coach at a cheap price. His salary at Ole Miss was short of 5 Million. Any big school that hires him will make him a 3 million dollar coach starting out

sounds like Neids is toast. Didn't expect him to re-up anyway. Wonder if his recruiting results were down because he knew the heat was on?

I just pointed out in another thread but will repeat it here.

A few weeks ago somebody on here questioned why Neid’s Twitter had gone quiet.

Perhaps it’s related.

I'm gonna be mad if this leads to nothing!

This is the first thing I've seen that makes me think Pruitt might actually get fired. It pretty much puts the last nail in the coffin of a Freeze hire though.

 

[Dudleys87]

I don't think that was ever anything more than fans wishful thinking

He’s interested at minimum I’d bet. Could have got a fat bank roll from Auburn

Amazing to me that Tennessee football has devolved to the level of purposely tarnishing its image to get rid of their own coach.

Don't get to talk about dirt at Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Auburn anymore.

Nose.. Meet face.

Maybe if the fat cats want to play “big boy” ball that doesent include guys like Napier, Chadwell, etc

Well, I guess that is one take on the issue or one can view it this way. If JP committed violations that could get to NCAA level then by all means terminate and investigate him to deescalate the issue. Program is bigger than the coach.

Tennessee playing big boy football means we are going to make a coach a top 3-5 paid coach. I hope that’s the case.

This is Tennessee, I would not count on it

I never have doubted he'd be interested, but I certainly do doubt UT making a hire of a coach anybody really knows. If this leads to Pruitt being fired, we'll make some other assistant extremely rich for nothing imo.

I would be very careful about taking anything Tony Basilio says to heart. He is the consummate bull $hitter.

 

[JMSqb11]

These callers are absurd

 

[PG1]

They aren't going to hire freeze.

Well the Knoxville area pimps all hope you are wrong.

 

[zeppelin128]

Says it's an inside hit job to get him out, says Tennessee is about to play big boy football

Some Game of Thrones **** right here.

I approve.

We can’t ever have nice things.

What part of this season was "nice"?

Which one of our fans /administration MADE him cheat??? If his dishonesty gets us out of paying an undeserved buyout that his dumb ass boss should have never given him then so much the better.

i mean if we’re getting some sort of post season ban/scholarships why not? Roll the dice it can’t go any lower

 

[zeppelin128]

90 % chance he’s out by first of the year per Basilio. Computers were confiscated 3 weeks ago. Players pulled from meeting yesterday. Per Basilio

 

[midtnvol2]

You're right, we will hire another "nothing" coach.

Vols coach Jeremy Pruitt: “I hadn’t seen no report” on a potential in-house investigation into the program for recruiting violations and inadmissiable benefits.

 

[Dudleys87]

This is Tennessee, I would not count on it

They’d put McGoogle in that position before they hired someone worth

 

[Volnbeers]

 

[lilesrt]

Gird thy loins. Basilio’s info and sources are notoriously awful.

Doesn’t matter. It makes for great talk radio. Sure beats watching the games. I’m probably in the minority, but Tony Basilio is the best thing about Tennessee football as of late. Great commentary.

 

[JMSqb11]

“Tennessee never goes after top rated coaches” says one caller and in next sentence says how Fulmer is part of old guard lmaoooo

This is probably why Pruitt is mad that he's "not getting support" by our Athletic department. He's probably used to Alabama who openly allows their coaches to cheat.

Our compliance department finds things out and actually investigates instead of allowing everything to slide under the rug.

Especially if you’re a grossly overcompensated big loser!
