Ok this is what I’m hearing...
I don’t expect a decision publicly until after Christmas. I do believe he is done. Tennessee will try and fire him with cause but could reach a settlement if Pruitt is willing to move on. Tennessee will probably self impose a reduction on scholarships and a bowl ban. Pruitt has ticked off some university folks as well. Plowman and Manning have had a lot of dialogue along with others. Haslam has had contact with Manning and Plowman the last month but it really picked up the last 10 days and the last 48 hours. This is deeper than on field coaching. There are a lot of upset people. I have heard Fulmer is no longer fighting this whatsoever. I don’t have any clue what his fate is at this time. The focus is Pruitt right now. A lot of details to work through before Pruitt is let go. It could happen tomorrow or it could happen after Christmas. If it happens sooner then it’s because he wanted it to. Things can change in a hurry. I don’t know how soon Pruitt will return from Alabama. I know people will have a million questions but this is all I know and this is basically the opinion of someone I trust. A lot of moving parts here. It’s important you all understand that. Candidates haven’t really even been discussed in detail at this point.

Just can’t keep having Bama Clemson and OSU in the playoff every year. It’s a foregone conclusion that they are in and renders the regular season meaningless. Especially when those teams can lose a game and still get in. That’s actually a massive margin of error for them given their talent levels. Especially Clemson and OSU. At least Saban is moderately challenged in more than one game a year (usually).

Again, if you are going to check out, walk away, find other things to do on Fall Saturdays, quit donating, etc., please keep it to yourself. I am personally tired of reading about it. TIA.

Unfortunately, he/they don't intend to check out, just want to complain and let people know, once again, that aren't happy. Like everybody else is.

Why is it an issue?

They did their job if teams are unhappy about it then they need to do their job and push one of those teams out.

I don't like this reduction of scholarship angles. Who gives a damn about a bowl game this year, but reduced scholarships?? Hell no to that. Throw the coaches under the bus and let them take the fall for sloppy cheating. Don't take away scholarships from the program.

3-5 a year for 3 years or so isn't that big of a deal.
