This honestly doesn’t sound like bs.

As to the part about dissension among the staff, it sounds like what allegedly happened at UGA with Pruitt in Richt's last year. Supposedly, they were divided into camps and there was major internal dysfunction. Two years later they were in the playoff, but they did have to clean house first.

All those words and one short sentence about the real problem in the program. The problem that was here when Pruitt was coordinating championship defenses, and Fulmer was eating donuts on the back nine at whatever golf course in Murvul. The problem that was here when Butch Jones' Cincinatti team was getting it's turd pushed in by a Tennessee team that would struggle to score points the rest of the year. Our boosters are complete and utter smooth-brains when it comes to football. Sadly their success outside of their dealings with the football program at the flagship university in Tennessee has inflated their ego to the point where they could sit and look upon the destruction they've wreaked upon a once proud institution and just dial up more of the same. Sadly for the older and unlucky younger generations of Vol fans, we'll have to wait until these boosters get lucky or die before anything really changes. And looking at the past 12 years, I'm thinking there ain't any luck left in the tank.

If there were anything remotely true about all this, you wouldn't be reading it on a message board. This type of information gets leaked to reporters way before message board wannabe insiders.

Possibly. But I wouldn’t make assumptions about a situation based off assuming that KNS, Hyams or Basilio are doing their jobs correctly.

The contracts are written so that if the coach doesn’t turn it around quickly they get frustrated and want out. Hell yes Pruitt wants out. He, his family take $12million and move back to Alabama.

This could be true or false we have no idea. But what we can agree on something isn't right with these coaches you can see it on the field. All of these guys didn't forget how to coach.

Spot on. Specifics don't matter so much at this point. The head coach has flipped his staff twice and it is still broken. It's time.

Talking to local reporters, some ex-players and others, below is what I have been able to gather about current state of football program. Now this all comes from informal chats and people claiming they know this stuff so take is for what it is worth.

  1. Fulmer still likes to act like he is the head coach. He meddles into everything from basic practice to game planning, personnel etc. Pruitt is sick of being micro-managed.
  2. There are three factions in coaching staff:
    1. Tee and Jay are Fulmer's boys and they act very much like it too. Tee in particular acts like he is above head coach and has been cause of a lot of friction with in staff.
    2. Pruitt, Friend, Nerdimeyer, Weinke are in another camp. Tee and Jay particularly dislike Nerdimeyer
    3. Derek Ansely, Chaney and Shelton Felton generally stay away from these groups.
  3. Ansley has a weak personality and deflects any pressure to Pruitt. Lacks leadership.
  4. Pruitt micro-manages the offense through Chaney while Tee tries to run his own stuff. Chaney is very disengaged and even does not run a lot of meetings. He was not like this in his previous stunt here. He just stopped caring.
  5. Shelton Felton, Osovet, Brambaugh etc are/were good coaches who are just caught in amazing dysfunction. Brambaugh got fired because he was tired of Pruitt dissing DL all the time and he got into heated argument with Pruitt a lot.
  6. Tee tells people around him that he will be HC here someday and he will run this place like Belichik runs Patriots.
  7. Pruitt will be forced to let go of his guys (Friend gone, Nerdeimeyer and Weinke next). Tee will likely be Co-OC for 2021. Pruitt is fed up with Fulmer and would be happy to take his buyout and leave.
  8. Fulmer has a lot of boosters support and Pruitt still feels like outsider.
  9. Team is completely divided.
The amount of dysfunction and politics at UTAD is disgusting. Fulmer is root of it. Pruitt does not have the personality to be a HC who can handle all this and Tee is an opportunist who is waiting his turn fueling the infighting.

None of this would surprise me if true. Regardless, we won't win 6 games next year with these IDIOTS at the helm.
