Daniel Hood on Pruitt compared to Butch

[chargervol]

Sure you do, its the answer to that that you'll never understand.

Cookies imo.
Less than 3% of coaches are elite.
Less than 15% are even REALLY good.

So the they take a stand where they have an 85% chance of being right. (their only safe option as you so accurately nailed it). Only to return when their really safe bet pays off and boast as if it was an accomplishment.

So I wish someone would give them that damn cookie they so desperately desire and let those who want to be fanatical and excited, do their thing.

Not sure when that reg came about, but, I had a good friend that joined up as opposed to going to trial (circa 1974). While I served I met several soldiers who joined under the same circumstances. Maybe that's a new reg.

Yes things have changed alot since the 70s.

Here are the recruiting regulations for 3 of the 5 branches, to show you that you are incorrect in your first statement.

Army: The Army's Recruiting Regulation, 601-210, paragraph 4-8b: states that* any "applicant who, as a condition for any civil conviction or adverse disposition or any other reason through a civil or criminal court, is ordered or subjected to a sentence that implies or imposes enlistment into the Armed Forces of the United States is not eligible for enlistment."Air Force: The Air Force Recruiting Regulation, AETCI 36-2002, table 1-1, lines 7 and 8, makes an applicant ineligible for enlistment if they are "released from restraint, or civil suit, or charges on the condition of entering military service, if the restraint, civil suit, or criminal charges would be reinstated if the applicant does not enter military service."Marines: The Marine Corps Recruiting Regulation, MCO P1100.72B, Chapter 3, Section 2, Part H, Paragraph 12 states: "Applicants may not enlist as an alternative to criminal prosecution, indictment, incarceration, parole, probation, or another punitive sentence. They are ineligible for enlistment until the original assigned sentence would have been completed."

Secondly the supreme court has ruled several times that juvy records must be revealed for military applicants. While felony conviction can be waived, participating in a forcable rape is not one of those for most branches.

When those convicts are allowed in the military they also require a waiver and is genrally frowned upon. Whereas in sports, Hollywood and music they are generally defended and made irrelevent because of the persons talent.

Also interesting is the narrative of our military forming on this board. First he have a suicidal fan with mental illness and the first assumption is that he is a vet. And now we have recruting officed "flooded" with reject criminals.
I was a Marine Corps recrutier for 3 years. The overwhelming majority of my applicants needed very minor waivers, such as mj use. I had 2 felony waiver (both juveniles at the time) one assualt (fight as school) and one felony theft ( dollar amount was the only factor making it a felony. So of the approx 115 people i put in the marines 2 required those waiver, couple other waivers but those were medical.

So other people shouldn’t get a second chance just the 2 felons in 3 years that you personally deemed worthy

I didnt deem them worthy, the enlistment standards of the military did. Again rape not amoung them.

Are you suggesting that playing football at Tennessee would have been the only 2nd chance hood ever got?

It seems like felonious violent thieves wouldnt be ideal candidates to represent our country internationally. They should be held to a higher standard than an amateur football player. Do you think your two recruits deserve to have their juvenile mistakes mentioned every time their name is?

Nothing hood says is credible. He was still pumping butch in Haney’s article

They did choose to put themselves in a place of fame. He did.

And they werent ideal candidates, they needed a waiver. One was theft and one was a school yard fight. Tough to compare those to tying a young girl up so she could be raped.

So a 20 + year veteran police officer on more of a disgrace than somene that did what he did? Interesting comment, tell me more?

There's no point, after reading more of your posts I can see you are the type to pass judgment and feel as if you are warranted to pass said judgment.

Everyone is warranted to pass judgement. This is a message board its what you do here. Noone says we all have to agree.

I can't really believe any Vol fan that's been paying attention over the past decade would buy into any fluff about Pruitt. He may be the saving grace and do amazing things here. I'm not believing it until I see it in happening in real games. There is absolutely nothing objective enough for me to make a judgement until then. I'm just not going to eat up BS like I've done before.

Nobody can say we have a "real"ball coach now because the guy we hired has never been a ball coach yet. Let him do what he does and we can begin to pass judgement on him when we see the results on the field.

Your last statement remains to be seen

True. But there are more reasons for optimism on that topic than there has been at any point since Kiffin departed.

Also, I’m not sure that everyone else in the SEC has had coaches who were solid developers of talent and that know football over the past decade + of our misery. I just think Butch was so bad that even garbage coaches could beat him consistently unless the talent margin was just grossly stacked in his favor (and even then, he’d make it close). Dobbs bailed us out so many times ...
