Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[yourstruly23]

All this speculation and turmoil is over a 3-7 coach from Alabama that allegedly, no one in the AD department can stand.... how hard is it to just hit the reset button.. eventually, we luck into someone worth a damn

I think Pruitts back but interesting argument in this thread.

@DustyRockSolid bringing the heat.

 

[Power T-Rev]

Doug can take his condescension and shove it. His buddy Fulmer could easily do away with all the rumors by publicly stating Pruitt is coming back. Instead of blaming the fans

 

[Exiled]

So you don’t think the findings of this investigation could cause UT to let him go? You think they’re doing all this just for fun but always planned to keep Pruitt?

I think they are doing this because the leak forced their hands. Getting Pruitt out of here may be a happy by-product (to most fans), but if there hadn’t been a leak, this would have all been done behind the scenes and we would not have been able to enjoy the repeated insider reports, meltdowns, etc. on Volnation. If Pruitt is complicit and they can prove it at a level they can fire him risk free, they will. Barring that, I have no faith that he will be gone. JMHO

I'm so far behind on work it's not funny, but the palace intrigue has got me hooked! I just wish this was fiction and not actually my school's football team! When the insiders warned us to buckle up, they weren't kidding!

If it is leaked before the investigation wraps up, then it gives the appearance that the investigation was just for show. After the internal investigation wraps up something will be leaked one way or the other.

 

[EdEcEko77]

Our DL should be pretty decent next year.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Well, Basilio just doubled down and said this guy is getting popped so we will see. Someones gonna be right

 

[Girth Brooks]

Here’s another from soothsayer Doug....

Based on what?

He is just speculating. Admitted speculation. He doesn't know.

If the investigation proves to be fruitless and UT spent 500K on it the sh!ts going to hit the fan. You wanna talk about bad optics

He just said he thinks Pruitt is getting popped, that's what he said he's hearing

Doug did or Basillio? Just want to know which one of the village idiots said it.

 

[KeyVol14]

Doug Matthews is delusional

 

[Exiled]

Basilio just made a good point, why would Pruitt bring in Steele, when Steele was the runner up for the job in 17 when he's an embattled coach

One possibility. Since Steele was the runner up and is a TN guy who is well liked by the AD, bringing him in provides Pruitt with a buffer for the coming year. With Steele there, Pruitt can defer to him on certain aspects of the program (defense) and if it is successful bask in the glory. If it isn’t successful, he just quietly (or not so quietly) throws Steele under the bus. Easy to say, “Fulmer, you picked this guy and he has let us all down.“ JMHO

 

[Kingston Vol]

Austin Price, even after the Steele hire, described Pruitt's chances of survival as "bleak" today.

Take from that what you want.

I just tuned on Twitter and what the hell is going on? Talking about Currie and Butch's final meals before they got fired and a man asking if Tony is upset with him lmao its at least entertaining

He talks to Roger every day as the last call, Roger is a staple in the community and calls into numerous shows. Roger is obviously special needs and Tony does a lot to help Roger. Tread lightly

Pruitt doesn't defer.

This is one/the main reason we are where we are currently.

Oh definitely not making fun of him he clearly cares about the program a lot and wants the best for Pruitt, Im loving it right now. Solid show.
