No sarcasm here, but Pruitt has to have his best year record wise including bowl game (13 game schedule). That would be 9 wins minimum. I think 8 if he beats one of our big 3 gets hims year 5. 8 wins with no wins vs big 3 and bowl loss sends him away.

6-5(If Tennessee has 11 game schedule),6-6 or 7-5 will get Jeremy Pruitt at the very least 2 more seasons in my opinion. Phil somehow will think Tennessee has turned the corner from 3-7 2020.

Reality check: JP headed a 3-7 season and has been the coach during some of the worst losses in Tennessee history.

If those 2 FACTS do not get you relieved of your duties, nothing will. I truly do not believe anyone with decision-making power puts any value in football.

On the surface, that sounds ridiculous. The fact that JP is still here makes my statement much less ridiculous.

We'll win enough cupcakes next year to allow for another extension. The cycle continues.

Can we not root for the man to be successful? Without all of the Bullsh*t negativity? We won’t be Alabama all of a sudden with a new Coach. The coaching searches every few years suck. Sit back, Suck it up and let the man work. Damn...

Already did that. We were graced with mediocrity as a result.

He doesn’t have to win any. UTAD does not care about winning. 0-12 is good enough to get a share of the TV money.

Yep. All SEC teams are awash with money thanks to the TV contracts. If money is all Tennessee cares about then we have no reason to expect change. It's the only reason I had hoped Fulmer would be good-at least he cares more whether we win than Hart et al. did. But the Pruitt hire has proven bad...I digress.

Anyway, a half full Neyland would only put a small dent in our cash flow.

Boy do people like to hyperbole on here. Of course UTAD cares about winning. All SEC teams are not flush with cash. You need to look at some of the budgets of the schools athletic departments sometime.

From a roster perspective, things look promising. If you can fire Pruitt with a reduced buyout and put Steele / Ansley in place to run your defense with billy Napier or Hugh Freeze as the head man and leading the offense, Tennessee wins 10 games next year.

So you think this team can run the table with our only losses being UF, UGA, and Bama? Not a chance regardless of the coaching staff.

Ranking college football's richest, poorest programs
As of March 2020 we were a ranked the 12th richest Football Program $91,000,000 in the Power 5. More than Florida, Washington, Texas A&M, Oregon, FSU, Clemson, and the USC Trojans. $1million from being tied with LSU. It dropped to $55million after Pruitt’s 2018 5-7 season.

With that said...those saying they only care about TV money is stupid. Financially this explains the rumors there are those on The Hill want him fired and replaced after a far worse 3-7 season with no signs of competing with Alabama, Florida, and Georgia on the field. This would seem to point to Fulmer is the problem. Stubborn, arrogance, pride...he now has hired back to back failed football coaches. Clawson and Pruitt.

Fulmer had a mass exodus of his staff next season he was fired. Same goes for Dooley and Jones. Head Coaches rarely survive a following season after replacing multiple staff coaches. The writing is on the wall...especially when you see the product he’s been putting on the field.

At the end of the day this is a big money business. When you are a major costly liability and not an asset...ties are severed. If fans don’t show up and we are still getting blown out he won’t survive the season. Factor in “cupcake” Pitt can beat us. They beat VaTech, FSU, and a point away from beating NC State last year. There’s no guaranteed automatic 4 wins next year.

This thread is so full of BS and misinformation by "ahem some posters" it is hardly worth reading. Hugh Freeze is not going to be HC and he is not the be all to end all. Some suffer with the Gruden syndrome. Jeremy Pruitt will be HC next year and no rumors, wild speculation and absolute lies will change that unless there is a major recruiting violation--and that will not happen. So let's get real you people.

There is no misinformation about the team competing at a higher level under freeze or Napier than under Pruitt. That’s a fact.

No, your statement is not fact it is speculation. Like all speculation it could or could not be true.

Ole Miss having to wipe a bunch of wins off their record due to Freeze and go on NCAA probation IS a FACT. See the difference. If you cannot look it up it cannot be verified as being a fact.

So there is not fact that Ole Miss is history a significantly worse program than Tennessee? There is no fact that Ole Miss performed better under Hugh Freeze than Tennessee has under its last three coaches? What about liberty performing better than Tennessee did this year? Would you like to say that’s speculation as well? Either you don’t know the definition of speculation or you’re completely stubborn. Regardless, you sound like the typical Tennessee fan.

Sometimes I read some of this stuff and laugh. It’s like chicken little on steroids. AND when a poster does this once it stains him for a long time and destroys his credibility. I think that’s what has evolved out of this...our fan base is hysterical...both funny and lunatics 😂😂😂

Henry T is staying because Pruitt assured him he will be the HC next season. He would not have gone to meet with Henry if that were not going to be true. Henry T would be gone if Pruitt was going to leave. A lot of you on this board will not accept this but you will eventually have to when Pruitt does not get fired.

Your statement indicated to me that "the team" (UT) would perform better under them than for Pruitt. There is no factual basis for that. NOTHING Liberty did has any bearing on UT. Just agenda driven speculation. You are entitled to your own opinions, but that does not make them facts, regardless of what logic you wish to employ.
