Chris Low Says It Will Be “Difficult” For Pruitt To Stay As HC

[JoAllan]

It’s Happening

 

[bigorangepoppa]

The fact you didn’t know who Pruitt was before he got here pretty much shows what you know about CFB...so why should anyone listen your opinion?

I have been following Tennessee since probably before you were even a thought in someone's mind. I don't know all the assistant coaches in college football, and reasonably sure you don't know them all either. I don't understand why you need to make the comment you made. Yes, you are probably right about one thing; I don't know the intricacies of college football, so don't be a jerk, okay? I dare say there are probably many on here in my same position.

With all this information about Pruitt being gone and a transfer QB commits??

Has no correlation with anything other than the player committing to a school. Pruitt is done it’s pretty clear at this point

Let’s just hire George Quarles and be done with it.

Yet again more falsehoods from this guy. You talk in language and tones like you're rich. You post things about fancy golf courses all the time. And you claim to be a MIT grad. Face it man, you're a troll. Go create a new account with a new name, you're credibility is in the dumps.

 

[Narco_vol]

Will you change your tune if I post a picture of my degree? I do get to play at fancy golf courses and I am not a troll.

Here is my “MIT degree”...see how easy that was @MIT_Beaver

Edit: I’m don’t have a degree from MIT btw

I feel like you do. My top 3 are Herman, Feeeze, or Mahlzan. We need a stabilizing force within the program right now. Someone who can at the least make us competitive.

Should be the decision makers no.1 criteria when looking. From that pool then we pick the guy with the most potential.

I just don't see Freeze happening. Seems only way Pruitt leaves now is for cause, how can we bring Freeze in then?

Gus.. I dunno man. I like the stability part for sure. If he wants to update his offense and bring Kevin Steele with him it could work. I read an article once and Gus told the author he doesn't go to coaching clinics or try to adapt and evolve his offense. That's concerning to me.

I don't think it would matter. It would take him at least a couple of years to get his footing here and by then it would be time to fire him, based on Tennessee standards. Young, up and coming coaches are realizing this. Why do people think we couldn't give the job away 3 years ago? Auburn has the same deep pockets booster problem. They went to their 7th choice, if my math was correct. No great coach wants to go somewhere that he's not the top dog. They don't want to kowtow to a billionaire's whims.

No, if a coach is continually getting their doors blown off while simultaneously making awful administrative and personnel decisions while showing zero progress on any level they will be shown the door.

I absolutely agree with you that a coach needs time to build his program and that will require some patience. I dont think anyone is demanding titles within 3yrs. I also don't think it is unreasonable to expect signs of progress. Maybe Bama blows your doors off year 1 by 35 but year 3 you can at least have a legitimately competitive game going into the 2nd while you beat team like UK and Arkansas?

We just had a local superintendent fired because he had a fake degree. So no, sir, a picture of your “degree” won’t change my tune.

And now I’m convinced you’re under 25 and have no idea what you’re doing. This attempt to defend yourself is comical and sounds like something someone who hasn’t experienced the world would suggest.

What do you project his record against those three over the first three years?

Who can do that.. at least with Herman we know he has recruited, developed, and coached teams that can at least walk on the field and be truly competitive against teams like that. We all want to win those games, but we haven't even been competitive. That's a solid start, imo.

Imo with our roster he wouldn't beat them in his first year. 2nd year he might beat florida maybe Georgia and 3rd year he would be able to taken on ga and Florida. Alabama is just so far ahead I can't envision us beating them in the near future unless Saban retires. Its a sad truth but watching them I see very few mistakes. They're very well coached. Imo it would take atleast 5 years to be where they are. That's with any coach. But tbh thats just my opinion. I just don't see enough talent on our roster at this point to compete with the big 3. But herman would be a big improvement but that also depends on his staff.
So first 3 years I could see 2-7 or 4-5 against them. But I could see him beating the lower tier SEC teams. The big three are in another league atm.

Losing to arkansas was the straw that broke the camels back imo. To lose to a team that has very very little success in recent years with a 1st year head coach was very troubling. Losing to Kentucky the way we did was also a very bad sign.

Create stability, consistently beat the lower teams, and field a competitive team against the big 3. That's a W for TN.

There is a big difference between losing by 28pts to UGA or UF with the game never close and a coach that has the team within 10pts in the 4th with opportunities to make it a 3pt game or less. Get there, that is progress, and we can build off it.

He went 7-3 this year and got fired. Pruitt lost 5 last year, including the most embarrassing loss of the modern era, and got a raise. The pressure there is greater than here from the people who matter.

Who reached out to him on the staff and approved Hooker coming aboard?

Who Cares!?!?
I am not impressed with anyone who is so impressed with their own self.

I am not even holding Gruden over your head either ...just pretty sure I can speak for VolNation that no one really cares about how much money you have, or your big fancy education, or anything else.

On here, we're just fans.

Phil needs pull a shocker and interview PM for the coming Tennessee head football coach vacancy.

Peyton can do about anything he wants. Money isn’t an issue for him. He can do so many things with similar or greater money and less stress than coaching. I honestly would see him doing something like GM of a team or something.

 

[BeecherVol]

Do you think if Herman came to TN as head coach, he could hire some assistants who have ties to recruiting in the SEC?

Getting top 5 classes recruiting against the SEC isn't as easy as recruiting in Texas.
But I think he would recruit pretty well.

His problem would be similar to the one Jones had in year 4.
Jones had the best roster outside of Bama and blew a 10 win, east championship season by losing to 2 inferior rosters. Thats the biggest reason why Texas fired Herman.

Of course it would be more difficult passing UGA, UF, LSU, A&M and maybe even AU in talent just to get behind Bama now.

I’ve posted that for for a couple of years. I could see him in a situation like Elway or go into an ownership path like Michael Jordan.
