Don’t forget the UT job the last 15 years has been a great place for a HC to come work for 3-5 years making 3+ million/year and then get paid $10-15mil more to leave. I think the truth is the UT HC job is a dream come true and coaches are probably lining up for that payday.

I hope you are right.... I’m ready for football to be fun again.

Yep...To go run back to papa and "rehab" their rep and restart the process.

 

[HankHill]

Herman and Malzahn likely won't get better offers than UT.

I agree. Especially not Gus.

 

[Dudleys87]

I’m ok with him being fake and his cheating as long as win football games.... my issue is that he sucks extremely bad at cheating and I’m not sure he has fixed that area of his life.

it’s hard to walk the line at Liberty when you have no choice but to live my the code of conduct.

Wear what they tell you
Be where your suppose to be
Be there when your suppose to
Etc

If he hasn’t changed at least one thing it would have been discovered outside of Liberty wanting to win that badly.

It's blowing up. Can't be Tennessee without national embarrassment.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

What does that mean?

 

[CoachClick]

ESPN can KMA.

 

[Kingston Vol]

I agree. Especially not Gus.

Only question with Gus is would he benefit by going to Ohio State or Oklahoma for a year as an analyst.

this right here is going to scare off a lot of good coaches and a lot of good recruits. we can’t have anything nice.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

Just bring me Kiffin. He would excite the fanbase and players would not leave. 22 class would be really strong

IMO, If Mullen leaves Florida for the NFL Kiffin will get a deal he can't turn down and be in Gainesville on the next flight. Florida and Kiffin would be a wicked combo for many years to come. I could absolutely see Kiffin running the east every year in Gainesville.

I think Ron is right. I think Jerm couldn't hire Pugh so he took the Baylor job.

Could be, but we have developed a bad name in coaching circles. From the administration to the fan base on Twitter, lots of coaches see this job as dysfunctional and not worth the headache. It is going to be harder and harder for UT to hire proven coaches.

1000% but he’s not leaving a school again after one season, especially after just signing an extension

 

[Kingston Vol]

What does that mean?

Reads like a lot of "industry insiders" are waiting for us to make a move.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Lol Butch has already lost two OCs before coaching a practice.

 

[Dudleys87]

What does everyone expect. Not gonna get top shelf guys to come play for a lame duck coach. Everyone can see that Pruitt is good for another 2 years here at most.

All he needs is to get Lucky once and he’ll get an extension.

It’s best for both parties if Tennessee tells him to walk now

Yes. We're going to have hire someone so toxic that he can't find another job but would gladly take this one. someone who is a great coach but with a questionable past that makes him untouchable by other big jobs. The only great candidate that we could hire in the midst of a mess that could come out of this.


I know just the guy....

 

[Orange Studs]

It’s just flat nuts to criticize someone yet these religious leaders get to claim purity while banging someone else’s wife

That's why you don't follow man, you follow Christ.

 

[Volfanatic_20]

Bigger names starting to bring this up. Bet it starts to get out Pruitt is done by Friday.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

so now we’ve got a man putting out offer that aren’t acceptable?

It’s just keeps getting better. The university could make some change off this made for TV movie. Lifetime would be a good fit.

No, basically Pruitt's in limbo...University brass (the ones signing the checks) said "We're not signing any new contracts until the investigation is completed."

So all Pruitt's able to do is talk numbers on a napkin.

 

[orange parmejohn]

What does that mean?

It means the smoke in the dumpster is getting thick enough for the country to see.

Yes, AP is on VQ right now talking about how the fanbase on social media is hurting us with coaches and with players. That has been his talking point for a week now

I agree with you on this - the job isn't as attractive as many think.

But we got here honestly - the fanbase is pissed because it keeps getting fed an inferior product.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Come on man. Quit trying to fight. We don't conduct ourselves that we. We just use passive jabs and snarkiness here. Make your ideas your weapon.

He wasn’t passive. I let most go but he posts a lot of nonsense. I’ve let it go though. No worries. But I don’t believe in letting anyone say anything they want without repercussions. That is why we are so soft as a society and suicides are so high. Bullying is terrible and most aren’t reprimanded. Let the person being bullied handle it and I bet the bully stops. Using words doesn’t always work.

Has there ever been more of a cluster **** than the UT football program the last decade or so in the history of history.
