Yes. Tenosynovitis of which muscle or body part?
Click to expand...
Right elbow to right wrist..

I've had severe bicep tendinitis in right elbow/forearm for a long time. 2-3 weeks ago, over night, woke up with skin numbness palm side of mid rt forearm and when I extend arm at elbow SEVERE burning about 3" above thumb side of rt wrist all the way to wrist.

Burns like SIN and takes 30-45 seconds to ease off.. If I tweak it bad enough, forearm aches deep for several hours.. REALLY getting to be a pain in the ass and is affecting everyday activities and the deep aching effects sleep

I thought I had a trapped antebrachial nerve. Doc (GP) said today it was tenosynovitis.. 🤷‍♂️ Prescribed a round of steroids 🤮 and exercises (a couple I can't even do).

He seems to think I have abused my body. I think getting old sucks physically.. haaaa

Butch Jones had 5 8+ win seasons before coming to Tennessee. Marrone has not coached in college in 9 years and the Big East was nothing like the SEC now. Marrone supposedly rebuilt Syracuse but went 1-6 in conference in year 3, might as well keep Pruitt if Marrone is the only option.

I have a bad feeling that the Haslam block has been waiting for something like this to happen since the Schianomo so they could wrest control back for good, and it is absolutely insane to me that you or anybody else would want Pruitt fired bad enough RIGHT NOW to give them that control back. Those idiots and their nerd bean counters are the real reason we are in this mess to start with...I remember.

People are so mercurial and shortsighted in this day and age...

I think Pruitt needs to go now too, but not if that group regains control by doing so. They have proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that their priority has never been commitment to excellence.

They didn’t wait around for it. The Haslams never went away. They’ve been in thick of things this entire time and you can be sure that a large chunk of the un-cited opinions that Fulmer is said to have about Pruitt or any other topic actually comes from Team Haslam and their PR spinners. Fulmer has stated very little publicly (and has very likely done so to give himself and the AD as much leeway to act as possible if and when the time comes to act) and yet certain media members, fans, and insiders have spilled barrels of ink telling us what Fulmer thinks and where he supposedly stands.

That's all on Phil, no? I get there's an investigation, but HE WANTS PRUITT. SO WHY NOT COME OUT AND SAY HE'S BEHIND HIM?!
Click to expand...
Maybe a lot of people are telling us what Phil thinks when in reality they don’t know. The fact that Fulmer has said next to nothing tells me that he is leaving himself room to operate. There’s an agenda to tie Fulmer and Pruitt together that has been present for months but if Fulmer really wanted to influence things in Pruitt’s favor he would’ve used his influence with fans to do so. He would’ve locked himself in with Pruitt publicly and vouched for him and the direction of the program. He hasn’t done that which means he’s left open the door to firing Pruitt. I know that goes against what some keep claiming regarding Phil but those claims don’t change the fact that Phil has avoided tying himself too strongly to Pruitt or vouching for him.

Why are we obsessed with hiring a so-so Italian American who coached at Rutgers and had stints in the NFL? Is this exact description written into a bizarre contact or final will that will grant one of our boosters or maybe the current AD, President and Chancellor “Brewster’s Millions” or rather in today’s dollars “Oprah’s billions” type money if they manage to make someone with the aforementioned qualifications our football coach?

It’s about context. He took a Syracuse team that had been the worst in their conference for 5+ years and made conference champs out of them in 4 years. This was a successful rebuild no matter how you look at it; we are in need of someone that has proven successful at rebuilding. Had he not garnered enough attention for this to get hired away into the NFL, he likely would have continued what he started at Syracuse and produced a record more to your liking.

His record at Syracuse is almost identical to Pruitt’s after 3 years then he finished with 8-5 his 4th year. We can do better unless you are satisfied with another Pruitt.

Marrone averaged OVER 6 losses a year in his college stint and has lost 42 games his last four years as head coach at Jacksonville. 😐

He won in Buffalo and almost took the Jags to the super bowl before ownership started getting the team and threatened to move to London. Not to mention he was .500 at Syracuse which is the most successful stint there in the last 20 years with a 4-5 record against the top 25. It's not as black and white as you make it.

Syracuse after 3 years.
4-8
8-5
5-7
If I’m not certain that is almost exactly Pruitt’s record here after 3 years. Marrone then finished 8-5 his 4th year which may be close to what Pruitt does next year with the cupcakes on the schedule. He is a Pruitt clone. No thanks.
we will not even talk about his .348 win anymore at Jacksonville. I really can’t believe people are talking about this guy as a legit HC candidate.

UTAD needs to make a decision and announce it. Either Pruitt will be our coach next year, or he won't. Leaving this hanging out there like they have is going to kill our chances at building a team for the future. Transfers and recruits are not going to come here facing that uncertainty. Just get it done.

I mean I'd rather have Kiffin, Freeze, maybe Napier but then Marrone over Chadwell or Malzhan

Kiffin is not happening. I don't think our AD has the balls to hire Freeze. Herman or Napier would be my top two choices of who I think are realistic hires. Do not want Marrone. Luke Fickell is worth calling but I think he's waiting on the Big 10. Matt Campbell has a huge buyout, and I doubt he'd come here anyway. I'd rather take the risk with Chadwell than go with Marrone.

Bill O'Brien would be a grand slam hire. Think how well he could recruit with his name alone.
