Does Pruitt even have a clue?

if you were the OC of Houston [Bowl bound] or Ok State [Bowl bound] would you risk coming to Tennessee right now? We have not been good for 10 years and though I believe Pruitt will turn it around, he has no track record as a head coach. A gamble for a proven OC in a program that is rocking right now to leave and come here.

Not arguing BUT when we say that we haven't been good in ten years, I consider 2 seasons of 9 - 4 as good.
To me, We had 2 good seasons. One average season, 2009 at 6 - 7
And 7 bad seasons at 5 - 7 or 4 - 8.
Am I wrong?

Why interview Freeze or Briles if they don’t fit your offensive philosophy? Makes zero sense. If they don’t fit why even entertain 2 guys that have a suspect background? My thinking is he’s an idiot. He tried to hire these guy hoping they’d conform to him and get them super cheap bc of there shady past. It’s one thing to strike out on one, but to strike out on 2? It’s they either said FU I’m not coming to work for you and have to change my style and for very little money, or Someone like Phil is preventing it. Both Pruit and Phil are literally learning on the job. Which shouldn’t be happening here at TN.

We really don't know what is going on in the coaching search. Everything you hear is hearsay. I cannot come to the conclusion we are botching the coaching search. This stuff probably goes on at every college during coaching searches including the Alabama's, FSU's and others.

I think Pruitt is exactly what he is. An inexperienced head coach that has made a lot of mistakes. Some here can’t grasp that.

Lol. I believe everyone here knows that. But the questions being asked by the OP clearly has an agenda behind them. The fact that you like the post says you support the agenda. So own it.

There are lots here who would give him a full release if Pruitt asked them too. Mostly the same people who thought Gruden was coming.

Other then watching film, Isn’t that kind of why you do interviews so you get to know who the person is and listen to there philosophy on offense?

Seems like your problem started when you tried to think. Sometimes it's better to let others do that.

It really doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to interview a bunch of spread guys when you wanna run a pro style offense. Might be why this is taking so long.
