Are Fair and Rumph on their way out?

[Behr]

Basilio is not a good source of information. He puts speculation like this out there just to stir things up.

*Not always

 

[OakdaleVol]

Rumph would not be a huge loss. Fair is a VFL and seems to be developing himself and his players.

When I was at practice Pruitt was not happy with fair because he was not holding players accountable for doing technique and drills perfect every time. Fair looked like a grad assistant.

Former Vol or not, you've got a job to do and your boss has expectations. Meet them and you're solid. Fail to produce and he'll find someone else who will. Huge class coming up. Need to fill this slot and perhaps Rumph with 2 more elite recruiters.

Just reported on WFNZ that Fair is out

 

[DiderotsGhost]

Hate it, because Fair is a VFL, but I suspected it might happen. Didn't fit Pruitt's style of coaching and he wasn't a strong recruiter.

Still interested in seeing what's going on with David Johnson. He's still on staff so far as I can tell, so does that mean he's an RB coach now? Or do we have both Tee and DJ at WRs?

Pruitt just seems like he is a Coach that is going to hold everyone to a standard of excellence everyday like Saban. The only way to catch Georgia and Bama, until you can match recruiting, is to outwork them. That's from top to bottom. Those that don't pull their weight have to go.

 

[CAVPUT]

I just get this feeling that both DJ and Rumph will be elsewhere next year and somehow, someway we get Jay on this staff.

Yep he's the antithesis of Butch Jones when it comes to his assistants.

Yup

Tennessee coaching staff undergoing another change

 

[derekewhitlock]

Basilio (yes, I know) saying that CJP not happy with their lackluster recruiting and that he is looking to replace them.
Anybody else heard this?

 

[CountVolcula]

I'll never understand the mindset that some Vol fans have that automatically makes ex-vol football players the cream of the crop when it comes to coaching hires

 

[VOLfrombama]

Im here for the crow. I prefer mine fried with a side of cole slaw please

 

[Vfl2407]

Rumor has it, again yes I know, that on Wednesday CJP made this statement to his staff and then walked out of the room:
“From here on out, we WILL have Top 5 classes, if you can’t help make that happen, go somewhere else”.

 

[Zues1]

Yeah that ole Basilio guy doesn't know jack squat, oh wait!

Spot on.

I like this attitude.

 

[CINCYVOL]

I think it’s more of a hope.

Basilio isn't a blind squirrel. He doesn't have 20/20 vision either, but he isn't blind.

Oh Lord, please let this be true.

 

[willinhf]

Well...he is at least 50% correct.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

Well, I'll take my crow with garlic salt and pepper. John Brice just tweeted that Fair is out and has cleaned out his office.

No offense to you Volnut, but it's time to stop with the "Basilio doesn't know anything, he has no sources" narrative. That's NOT true at all! Tony knows what goes on within that program. He definitely has reliable sources.

 

[Mookie]

You answered your own question with your source.

Nice. Basilio has been right on everything now for about 2 years. And it is currently being reported Fair is out. Do you even listen?

Then turn on them like a pack of rabid rats at the slightest signs a real or perceived failure.

It appears you are correct:
