Doug Matthews Blunt Take On Vols Loss

[unfrozencvmanvol]

So how did he do something that hasnt been done at TN since 1999?

He also did something that had never been done here, SIX 25+ point losses.

Problem is now your not going to get a quality coach to come even if you do make a change.

Unless it's CPF himself.

NO WAY in Hades we win, much less by two scores. I hate negavols but our team is terrible. There is no sugar coating it. We'll win 4 games this year, maybe.

If we lose to Ga St and BYU, what 4 teams do you think we can actually beat?

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

Unless it's CPF himself.

Don't believe that is in the plan, I believe he is where he wants to be.

No one knows Fulmer’s and Pruitt’s relationship but ... Fulmer and Pruitt.

IF the goal was to do a two step, he would have hired Les Miles.

Pruitt isn’t stupid. He probably knew exactly the state of the team when he hired and it’s a 4 year rebuild. UT needs someone who can refit and entire team.

Paul Johnson from Georgia Tech is available and was in the Top 10 rushing every year. But could he kick kids off the team? No. Too nice.

It’s Pruitt for 4 years. No other option.

At leat 3 and probably 4, embrace it, or NOT

We'll see, wouldn't surprise me at all.

Be reminded, Fulmer hired Pruitt.

Be reminded. It buys you a second chance.

Phil Fulmer will probably be fired shortly after Jeremy Pruitt is fired

But there is more misery to be had before any of this happens, right?

OK....who do you hire?

Whoever replaces Phil Fulmer as Tennessee AD will be someone who Jimmy Haslam will approve of.

Fulmer already got his second chance. 2006-2008 was his second chance. This is his 3rd chance.

Be reminded, Fulmer hired Pruitt.

And Majors hired Fulmer.

Ainge is nothing more than a program water carrier.

 

[General_Neyland]

Nope, not in the least. They are all UT players and Pruitt is their coach. If he can’t coach ‘em it’s on him.

I agree with you to an extent....that said you cant coach what isn't there to begin with.....

Recycled excuses, we're #1 at that.

Unless he tawkin' X's & O's, i'm all....

 

[OrangeTsar]

Pruitt pissed the team off late last year and its started out the same this season. As much as I wanted Pruitt to be successful, I'm not sure he knows how to be a head coach.

I am sorry...but I am having trouble with the concept that coaches should be concerned about "pissing off" players. Are we hiring coaches to make friends with the players or to make them the best football players that they can be? Has the snowflake culture even taken over college sports now? A coach who doesn't hurt feelings regularly isn't much of a coach if you ask me.

Up in Heaven General Neyland, Bear Bryant, and Knute Rockne are surely rolling their eyes right about now.

I predict he’ll be drafted as a defensive back, not as a QB.

I think it's possible that he winds up playing In the Canadian Football League

Lol, I am no fan of Pruitt. But good lord, Paul Johnson? He runs an antiquated offense, that makes recruiting impossible. Check out his recruiting classes when he was at tech. And the bad thing is he could prolly win 8-9 games once every 3-4 years. Just enough to keep his job like he did at tech. Just keep Pruitt if Johnson is your solution.
