Probably true but that’s bc our administration is too big of wimps to stand up to them.For those of you that think all of this will be better for us in the long run as long as Pruitt is let go, have very short memories. This is Tennessee. We are not going to get a slap on the wrist. The NCAA will bring their big hammers against us to show Alabama, Georgia and Florida just how serious they are about compliance.
The fact that knowledge of the investigation is the ONLY leak we’ve really seen so far actually gives me more confidence in the Administration. Also, it means the leak wasn’t from them.We have a coach dangling in the wind as to his future here which will effect whether or not we get transfers or recruits. Nothing about this situation screams that our admin "know what they're doing". Not to mention the leaking to the press about the investigation. We're still dysfunctional.
So some player got careless and stuff got out that some at UT couldn’t ignore.This athletic department is a clown show that not only a) leaks everything to the press, but b) cannot read the room or understand the ramifications of their decisions to save their life.
It is obvious that dragging this thing out and letting it sit in purgatory only leads to a bad outcome. If you end up keeping him, he has now taken a PR hit, is delayed from attracting transfers and hiring good members of his staff, and will be left with scraps by the time this is resolved.
If you end up firing him, you have now drug your feet into no man's land where every prospective coach has already either decided they are staying put at their current job, or has signed extensions that will raise buyouts.
We have the DUMBEST leadership across the board of any major program. They are clueless.
