I wonder if the admin realizes that the one time transfer rule , uncertainty, misinformation, and tampering from other programs is going to decimate the program?

FIre the dipsh!t. Hire a damn coach immediately to try and limit the damage they have already done.

As a few have posted - Freeze, Napier and Chadwell. They have the transitional QB signed until Salter is ready for those type O's. Let's do this if they are not going to pony up for a big gun. They have already blown their reputation as a football school and made a mockery of themselves. Nothing to lose.

As leaders of a university, you hire the best outside legal counsel because you know you have major problems with compliance of this program. Once that was triggered Jeremy's fate was sealed IMO. We just did know about it all at the time it happened. UT had nothing to lose by deep diving because the AA will look more favorably upon institutions that do so and the public would eventually learn of the violations. If as bad as it is feared, all or a big part of the buyout will be mitigated. But it is a process with attorneys charging by the hour who are paid to be thorough and have their professional reputations on the line.

I just felt that they could have fired Jeremy for being a bad HC on his record alone while knowing they had compliance issues being investigated. They could file legally to withhold the buy-out money until completion of the investigation to determine for cause or not. After which time UT legal counsel would have made their recommendations about it and it would move to a resolution.

So the question is - did Fulmer and some boosters work against that approach? Did they want to minimize the issues and hold onto Jeremy to keep it on the down low to preserve the program? From what I am seeing, hearing and guessing - yes. Would like to know for sure.

In my opinion, we are at the point that we have to think outside the box in hiring a coach, a very good coach, say Meyer or Stoops. Something like a 3 year deal with like 6 or 7 million a year to correct the problems. If the coach wants to go somewhere else, after that then fine, we should be in a position to hire a very good coach by then. If he wants to stay, then negotiate a better contract for all. The only problem is if the coach doesn't get the job done, then our University is in a very bad problem area, and the coach as well.

It would take $10 million+ a year to get one of those 2 and full control, and they still probably would not come. We aren’t paying that much (although the increased revenue would pay their salary easily!), and we are definitely not giving full control to anyone.

We have been through 15 years of misery, but we still show up on Saturday. I say with a new coach and a glimmer of hope for better days, we will still buy those tickets.

It's not necessarily the coach they hire but the people that are making the decisions that I'm out on. Problem is, there seems to be no way in hell to get them all of a like mind when it comes to the program and you can't fire those assholes so there's no way to get rid of them other than father time..

They appear to act like a bunch of rich ten yr olds fighting over the same toy.. I'm tired of the whole damn mess..

I think we are already to that point.

It sure feels that way but I would wait and see how this shakes out to determine that.

Freeze is the biggest name that I believe would actually come here, even if penalized by the NCAA. Heck, that might even be added structure and accountability to ensure he stays straight.

I think that they have decided that they can trot pretty much anyone out there at this point, and we will all be so relieved that we have done something, that we won't care who it is. And, they are most likely correct.

Yep, as each day passes the number of people saying "anybody but Pruitt" is increasing.

I’m getting a little worried now that a faction of decision makers are angry enough at PF to make him “finish his plate” with that extension for Pruitt by hamstringing the program, resulting in an even more humiliating season, players leaving, lost recruits and then a very public firing of both later this year.

I could see that happening
