No one had a problem with Pruitt being extended before the season. Especially coming off a six game win streak and closing off a strong recruiting class. He was not willing to let Barnes go. Fulmer wanted to keep Barnes, and worked with Boyd to make sure Rick got what he wanted. The Covid salary cutbacks is nit picky on your part. Given the situation he inherited when he took over, no one was going to take this job who was reputable after that tire fire of a coaching search than Currie conducted. Just about everyone on this board and throughout the country thought Fulmer nailed the hire given the hand he was dealt.

Plenty of us thought the extension could come back to bite us, although we understood the business side of it.

Currie was only fired because he didn’t tell Davenport he was flying out to interview Leach and Fulmer was in her ear telling her Leach was a bad fit in the SEC. I agree with that, I’m no Leach fan, but he certainly would have won more than 3 games in Year 3. He won the same amount in Year 1 at an inferior school.

Also, no one thought Pruitt was a “good” hire when it happened. We were just happy the search was over.

Some dude posted a tweet that said we were in a coaching hire freeze, so we’re all pretty confident that Pruitt is out and Freeze is the guy.

I mean, if we’re living in a fantasy land where UT makes good decisions, Freeze or Kiffin are clearly the best options. But we’re too stupid to do that. So bring on Billy

Okay, I’ve got that guy on ignore because he’s been a broken record for the last month.

How can you have him on ignore? He’s a genius. He can come in here and be absolute butt, but he has started every thread in the RF so if you ignore him you miss everything lol

Fiction...stuff that gets made up to fit narratives. Fulmer isn’t on my birthday wish list either but people? Quit making **** up! If Fulmer doesn’t go to Boyd to help scrounge up the money, it doesn’t get done! When there was a bunch of reds bisching about the price tag? Fulmer got top billing. Now that it’s viewed as worthy he doesn’t even get in the credits. 😅

Exactly. It’s about what fits their narrative. Bunch of clowns around here.

Wrong. Get real dude. Nationally and locally it was perceived as a solid hire, given the situation he was dealt.

No, he interviewed Tucker, Pruitt and Steele. Not a solid hire. I support the HC at Tennessee because I am a Vol alum. None of those guys was a home run. Pruitt has been up and down, but please do not pretend everyone thought this was a great hire.

Pretty sure the Tee talk started as a joke, but then some ran with it as an idea worthy of consideration. Hell no.
