There's no info because UT is in holiday break. And there's an investigation going on, so everything's going through legal.

He left out the part where he as a leader has failed to lead his teammates away from doing the things he’s throwing them under the bus for.

BS for him to say all these things and not mention his own failures to lead

My bad, I broke my own rule responding to Bruin.

3. As for fans, they certainly are important but season ticket renewals are still a ways away. Tennessee fans are loyal and passionate so I don't anyone really believes that thousands will ultimately stop going to games.

And herein lies the problem. Remember how I've been harping on how the university takes fans for granted? They know it really doesn't matter what product they put on the field. Until the fans say enough is enough, nothing will change.

It’s clear to me now that there are two camps from which people are getting info:
- one camp backs Pruitt and thinks he’s safe;
- the other doesn’t and can’t imagine Pruitt coming back.

I think neither camp knows what Boyd/Plowman are going to decide, and thus the constant hedging.

I don't think there are many "camps" at all that "back" Pruitt. I really feel that there is a very very small group of fans that supports him, and Fulmer certainly wants to bring him back.

I think the vast majority of us (I include myself in this group) that believe Fulmer wants to keep Pruitt, we do not support this or support keeping him as coach. We are only stating what seems to be the obvious (Fulmer wants to keep him) and not what we necessarily want to see happen. I think we need to make a change but I've said constantly that I don't see it happening. I dont see Plowman and Boyd blowing everything up and starting over with a new AD and new coach this year. Because I firmly believe they are going to have to get rid of Fulmer if they want a new coach. 2021 will be the year hes replaced.

That's how I feel as well, but to be honest with you, if it were performance-based, I'm not sure why a decision hasn't been made in either direction.

Maybe they feel like their pool of candidates will be the same regardless, but usually you make a decision like this quickly to give the appearance you are steadfast in your chosen direction.

Coaching search with an ongoing investigation is probably a significant disadvantage with the pool and negotiations. I'd imagine.

Aight, here's something to hold us over until we get some news one way or the other. Hopefully it's coming today.

Your avi? Why did you choose it? Mine's obvious. Smokey wants Freeze in Knoxville. What about yours?

Yeah...... I’m leaning towards him being back bc surely they would have let him go based off performance by now if they were going to make that move.
