12 Million Dollars

[roberthunter]

Is roughly what Pruitt's buyout will cost if he is fired after this season.

4.8 million of that is due to the extension he was given before this season.

He had 4 seasons left on his contract when he was extended. It was extended by 2 years to leave him with 6 seasons (including this one).

It's just kind of mind boggling to me that he was extended during this pandemic.

Find a reason. Hell, invent one if you can't. No man that dumb hasn't slipped up somewhere.

That's exactly why he isn't going anywhere. The athletic department is trying to save 1.6 million by having coaches take a pay cut. There is no way they are affording any buyout without the Haslams stroking a check which means they get to choose

Next coach - it should be mandated that any extensions/raises come only after SEC title

Pretty sure firing the DL coach without the ADs blessing is a fireable offense

 

[BJWeeks]

Pruitt would have to resign

We need a hooker, some cocaine, some cornbread, and a high powered lens.

The rest will work itself out.

Ummm..... Excuse me sir, this would only make sense. You know you can not talk rational or make sense in this program.

Exhibit A. Make it so. Fulmer should go as well but I'd take anything right now.

Small price to pay imo to try and save this program

 

[VOLALUM]

But the Haslams run the show and they have money...............OH WAIT, Pruitt is their puppet!!

 

[VolArmy74]

Name his mask fines as cause and negotiate from there.

Yep we gotta do everything a**backwards

More like a muppet....Bert from Sesame Street. JG is Ernie.

Recruiting is always the excuse used for extensions, but our recruiting class was already almost full when he was extended. And it certainly didn't seem to help recruiting afterwards.

Keeping it at 4 years is fine if it is deserved. But keeping it at 6 years is absurd. Especially given everything else going on.

It should cost Fulmer his job.

Especially when consider this: NO ONE WAS SEEKING TO COME HIRE THIS RUBE AWAY FROM US.

Well that may explain the lack of effort the coaches exhibit currently.

You're overpaying based on the real world value

 

[Grudenator]

12 million dollars.... is probably what Tennessee made tonight hedging Arky -10

 

[UTwild82]

Haslam will not give a nickel towards this buyout after we thwarted the Schiano hire. We are stuck.

 

[roberthunter]

There's also no mitigation clause, meaning even if he gets another job we're on the hook for the full 12 mil.
