Pruitt's lawyer says he has the info to burn the whole AD down

[ArdentVol]

He doesn't have to. There's a lot of ways this can play out, these are just some of the ways off the top of my head:
-He actually has evidence of wrong doing in other parts of UT athletics which would actually hurt us with NCAA sanctions like you wouldn't believe. He can then leverage that into a payday for Pruitt. But either way even if we settle, that information may get released and then we're not just paying pruitt millions, but now that information is out there.
-He doesn't have much evidence of wrong doing. All he has to do is produce enough that a judge doesn't toss out the lawsuit. He then will be able to go digging into our crap during discovery and eventually discover wrong doing because let's be honest, every major athletic department in country cheats, we all already know this.

Either he gets his guy paid, or help his Bama alumni client deal a blow to Tennessee athletics via (additional) NCAA sanctions. It's a smart play. Guy knows what he's doing.

l would like to think there are going to be a lot of schools and coaches who will push to see that this never goes to court

Jeremy Pruitt plans fiery lawsuit if Tennessee doesn't settle with him

He probably does. I've said all along we will end up settling with him. We'll pay him 3-4 mil. No one wants this thing to see the inside of a courtroom, least of all UT.

 

[OrangeTsar]

And this is why you pay the buyout (or negotiate down) and pay the man. We have paid players for years, across multiple sports. If Pruitt really wants to spill the beans, and has others willing to talk or has receipts, it will be like dropping a nuclear bomb on the athletic program.

You think Kiffin set us back 10 years? This will set us back 30 years in multiple sports.

We should have agreed to pay him in kind. One Happy Meal per day for life.

One defense could be that we do the same thing to do them and us this opportunity to discover different tactics that Pruitt did when he was at Georgia or Alabama, taking them down with us. We would be able to then establish a pattern that he's always cheated and if we found something that would make him virtually unhirable in the college ranks. But that assumes that he doesn't want to go back to the college ranks and that he's satisfied with being in the NFL right now.

Bring it on. If they open up the gate we could delve into his background at Bama, UGA and FL State. The Gumps would put a hit out on him.

UT should counter sue if Pruitt's attorney files the initial lawsuit.

$250000 to pay for the throwing incident

Sure he says that he wants his big payday.

Jeremy Pruitt plans fiery lawsuit if Tennessee doesn't settle with him

Ever seen an ambulance chaser that didn’t say that?

 

[A2K]

lol.....sounds like hes gonna B A tuff lil snowflake to handle

 

[kiddiedoc]

Y'all still think I'm crazy for suspecting the bozo was a Bammer plant?

 

[allvol123]

Have you seen the Baylor Athletic Department burned down or Penn State?

Give me a break and tell that guy to stfu.

 

[VolForLife83]

I say make Fulmer pay him. I'm sure he had some doing, in whatever Pruitt knows, if anything.

“the potential to “cripple UT’s athletic programs for years.”

Ah hell you don’t say….. seems like mission accomplished on that one big guy….

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

I think this might be why Jeremy Pruitt is looking for some money

The New York Giants are on pace to smash the NFL record for opponent's completion percentage. Opponents are completing 74% of passes against the New York Giants.

And if Pruitt was not already radioactive, he certainly will be after this stunt. No way anyone hires that classless dishonest disloyal clown.

Phil is getting 37,500 a month for two more years for this great big mess he dropped into our lap. It makes me angry he wasn't fired like any other AD would be for such a failure.

This is what happens when you hire anyone from Alabama, this should be a lesson for Tennessee, if you are from Alabama do not apply!

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

In 2020 - the passer rating allowed by the NYG was 93.2. This year, it is 109.4.

By all metrics, the Giants pass rankings have gone from middle of the pack to bottom 5 in the league (and worst in NFL history by completion percentage)

I thought this guy was a "defensive genius". And Pruitt has a top end corner in Bradberry too. Funny how bad this guy looks when he can't out-talent the competition.

 

[StarRaider]

Just give Pruitt ice bear tickets for life.

give him some bubblegum and Bennigan's coupons.

Guess all that is left is for Donde and Plowman to step down and resign.

 

[DiderotsGhost]

To put this in perspective, Mike Leach spent 3 years in the doghouse after he filed a lawsuit against Texas Tech, and Leach was one of the best coaches in the country and had a completely valid claim (indeed, he was 100% wronged by Texas Tech).

If Pruitt starts to "tell all", no one is going to ever hire him again.

Well, we cleaned house and fired everyone so where will the smoke be??

basketball. that is what they are pointing at..
