What about this?
We put out the call on social media for current UT students over 250 pounds to report to the football offices.
The first five guys that are able to push the front door đŸšȘ open are our new starting offensive line.
(* second team - those that can walk and chew gum).

Lol. I get that you’re joking.... but just in case anyone gets serious in here.... no.

Kennedy Wanya and Darnell will upgrade 60% of our line. Ryan Johnson probably slides out of center and still starts. We’ll be a couple of wins better.

Question. If you are a previous Coach that built a Dynasty, played at that School, and became the AD. Would you idlely sit back and watch or would you get your hands dirty, while staying within NCAA regulations.

Answer. Yes........Pretty much No Brainer....

Not sure how much Neyland ever got involved in coaching after he left here, but he's the only person I can recall who fits this description who worked here.

Isn't this just recycled news? I'm pretty the observation of Fulmer on the sidelines was from UTEP practice week. And Pruitt was asked in a presser of he would turn to Fulmer for o line advice. His response was something along the lines of he would be a fool not to. I think our reporter here is just injecting an old story in his current one to do a little bit of gaslighting.

Coach Pruitt on Vol Calls last night talking about his relationship with Coach Fulmer:

GREG FROM MURFREESBORO
Question/comment: "Coach, how is it to have a national championship-winning coach out on your playing field while you’re practicing all the time? How much do you converse with him? Do you ask him for advice? I know he’s not going to tell you what to do, he’s going to wait to ask you what to do."
Pruitt: "You know, me and Coach Fulmer have a really good relationship. We kind of grew up in the same kind of background. We both want the same thing. We want the Tennessee football program to be the best program in the country. We have a plan and we’re working together. It takes everybody involved. Being the head football coach, it’s very important to have the support of your administration. We definitely have that. So I think Coach Fulmer knows as good as anybody, when things were going really well at Tennessee, what was the reason. And when things have not gone the way we want it to, he probably knows the answer there. If you’re asking me if I’m going to be the head football coach at Tennessee, who would I want to be the athletic director? I would have picked Coach Fulmer."
Kesling: "It’s of interesting, when Coach Fulmer took over, Coach Dickey was the AD. So Coach Fulmer could go down the hall and get a lot of advice from Coach Dickey on how to do some things, and you have that luxury with Coach Fulmer."
Pruitt: "Yeah, and we do. Again, we have a great relationship. He stops by and sees me all the time. And if I have a question, I ask it. For instance, last night he just popped in the defensive staff room. And we’re just sitting there talking, actually we were watching a little tape. He probably stood there for two minutes and he was about to leave. I said, ‘Hey coach, I want to ask you a question. If we played this front or this front, what gave you the hardest time to block?’ There are lots of athletic directors that can’t answer that kind of question."

Fulmer, Pruitt, Helton, and Friend should go to every classroom and dorm on campus.
Find the biggest guys they can and ask if they like football.
Then, put some pads on them and see if they can still walk upright.
The first five that can should start on the offensive line on Saturday.

You just described Richmond on game day. Put on pads and walk upright.

As a fan I love that CPF is trying to improve on our glaring weakness. I am not knowledgable on NCAA rules regarding him doing so. I think that he wants to see the team play up to our previous supremacy. He is all in and clearly supporting his team however he can. That means that he will do whatever he can in every way that he can IMO. Are his efforts best applied somewhere else? Probably. But he can do that during the off-season, and a good football team is what we need to renovate the stadium. CPF is the real deal, and I am bought in to his philosophy toward the team and the program. He set the standard during the 90's and I think he can get us back there if we let him. GBO!!

Are you calling Pruitt a boy? While we are reading the praises of CPF, please keep in mind the guy hasn’t coached football in 10 years. Has he forgotten how to coach? Probably not, but I don’t want the guy interfering with the current coaches either. If he doesn’t like the staff then he should replace them. His involvement has the potential to undermine the current staff and create divisions between players, between coaches, and between the interaction of players and coaches.

I don't see him supporting the team and the coaching staff as undermining anything, and I bet the players and coaches dont see it that way either. They all want to win and I am sure that they will take the added expertise and commitment from whoever will lend a hand. This is like saying that CJP undermines his players by saying he will recruit 25 guys to never get embarassed again. It is just what you so when you want excellence. You use every available resource at your disposal and maximise everyone's potential from players to coaches. I think he is right where he should be.

It was rumored that bob woodruff tried to give coach Dickey “suggestions”, and that was one reason he left for Florida. Bill battle was supposedly gifted with ideas from woodruff. Didn’t work out for him. Woodruff wouldn’t hire majors after Dickey left because he knew majors wouldn’t put up with his meddling. That was the rumors and gossip at the time. That was before this web site Existed so we will never know for sure.
