What does Tennessee hiring of Glazier mean?

Your source is from 2008. I think you could be a little more up-to-date on the fella than that. Like maybe:

Mike Glazier: The man behind Missouri's appeal to the NCAA

It turns out Mike Glazier is not an assassin who specializes in getting coaches fired. He's a friend of universities who want to find ground truth. He's good at leading investigations where the goal is to get to the base facts.

Given that, our hiring him is good for Tennessee. Now some rabid Pruitt-haters are going to assume that is bad for Pruitt, but that's not necessarily so. It might actually be very helpful to Jeremy Pruitt.

In any case, getting to the truth is something we should be happy our university leadership is pursuing. By hiring this fella.

Vol fans can't handle the truth.

Source? Seems like he is involved in helping schools respond with NCAA allegations. And, maybe some coaches and staff get fired. But, I don’t see where he is a hired gun (other than being a lawyer 😄).

Recruiting violations are the focus of the investigation which happened on Pruitt’s watch. I don’t see how you can think this is going to be “helpful” to Pruitt.

That entirely depends on the nature of any violations uncovered, and whether Pruitt wanted to retain any coaches who might be implicated.*


* Not saying there is any proof of non-compliance. At this point, we don't know.

If nothing else it means we are about to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a lawyer over these "nothing" allegations.

Here’s what I think, I believe an internal and intentional leak occurred around the time of the Georgia game. The staff started turning on each other and begin to cover their butt hoping Pruitt would be fired by the university. That’s why the team started sinking because of the coaching infighting. Move on to our current time line, the university wants to fire Pruitt but he knows where the bones are buried and that’s why the university has hired this guy to negotiate our way out. That’s why all the other programs in the SEC are hiring and firing staff right now while we whistle by the graveyard.

Okay, so here's what "evidence" looks like:
-- an email from a person in the AD's compliance staff to a staffer in the Chancellor's office saying, "assistant coach X told me about a recruiting violation. It went like this..."
-- a recruit tweeting out, "free hookers and blow last night thanks to my bros Eric Gray and BM, and whichever coach gave them that card!"
-- your cousin, a lawyer in Glazier's law firm telling you, "It's bad, home, people are going to lose their jobs over this."

This is all what might be called "evidence." Some of it is stronger, some is weaker, and some of it might not mean anything, may not even be true. But at least it is a type of evidence to back up what you say.

Do you have any of that? That evidence stuff?

Because if not, you just wrote the outline of a fictional novel.

See what I'm getting at? There is no value in fictional novels. Not outside of, you know, fiction.

I’ll tell you what it is, a wild a$$ guess of what might have happened, nothing more. You make it sound like evidence in court, sorry it’s all speculation, I’m sure you’ve never done that.

Well, it's all just so detailed for being completely made up. I mean,

a. you posit a leak occured.
b. you posit the leak was both internal and intentional.
c. you posit a specific time for the leak: around the UGa game.
d. you posit the staff began to turn on each other because of the leak, and started covering their own butts.
e. you posit some of the staff were hoping Pruitt would get fired.
f. you posit that the team started "sinking" because of all this coach infighting.
g. you posit that Pruitt somehow knew where some bones were buried implicating folks who would otherwise be in position to fire him.
h. you posit that the university otherwise wanted to and would have fired him.
i. you posit that, given all these conditions, the university has hired a lawyer specifically to "negotiate our way out" (of something, idk what...the blackmailing from all the buried bones?)

Now that's a whole hell of a house of cards built out of conjecture and speculation. I mean, imagining one or two of those, sure, but the entire edifice?

That's called writing a fictional novel. Heh.

Hopefully Glazier is a mad dog and will leave no stone unturned until proof has been found beyond a shadow of a doubt that Pruitt must be terminated with cause!

There is absolutely nothing good that comes from that. If he is fired for “cause” (as a result of recruiting violations) we are looking at multiple repercussions, including bowl ban and scholarship reductions. If you want to fire him, just fire him. It’s going to cost more in the long run if you have to fire him “for cause”.
