Can you guys get a clue

[USF grad in TN]

Telling everyone to get a clue when you have your facts wrong. Awesome

I would have liked a thread title that provided more of a clue regarding the topic to be discussed.

If you really want to be honest, none of those coaches were offered by Fulmer, they turned down the opportunity to interview. Tennessee has all the physical attributes for any coach. However, I think what some of you are forgetting, that the very right some exercised in not wanting the OSU coach.......by the way a DC. These other coaches have the same right to say, Hey! we don't like how much these UT fans get involved with the day to day activities of hiring and firing of staff.

So, the very thing that some praised the UT Fan for, some are horrified by what they saw and heard. When you start to polarize yourself, the "rank and file" are not going to support you. Most schools believe the fan should sit back like a bunch of mushrooms and whatever they decide, we should accept. So, many of these coaches were actually afraid to come in and have to deal with fans like us.........sorry, but its the truth.

CJP is someone who is confident in himself and saw a passionate fan base, and he wanted to be apart of this soooo bad, he agreed to a 6 year deal. He is our guy, and we should get behind him and support and watch what someone who actually has a winning history behind him do his job. The FANS have done their's, now stop debating the issue, the contract is signed......Coach Pruitt will come in and turn this team around, but we have to give him a fair amount of time to get better players in.

There is a double edge sword here for the fans and it will cut both ways. Don't sit back and pat yourselves on the back by speaking your mind and then turn around and wonder why HCs are not interested.........we built this reputation, live with it.

Go Vols!

You included it, in a way, but I think that by scaring off some possible candidates, we actually did ourselves a favor. I much prefer Pruitt, with his self-confidence, to anyone without it.

He also had no other offers. If anyone wanted to coach with no prospects, and along comes Tennessee with 4 million a year, what else is he going to do? I'd saddle up myself for half of that.

News flash p5 coaches don't change coaching jobs very often. Mullen and Taggert were the only two this year and ppl complained about that possibility. Other than that Kelly and Frost were the only other "homerun" hires and once again ppl complained about them (also neither one was ever considering TN). So we had to decide what coach had the most potential just like everybody else and I think we did that.

Aight!
