Fire Pruitt [merged]

[VolNavy01]

Who else would take the job right now? It’d be yet another buy out.

 

[GetYouSomeofThat]

Hell

fulmer will ride in on a white horse to save us. That was his plan all the time in hiring a goober like our current coach. This is just , well I can’t think of a word to describe our football program. We are still paying butch jones, he can’t do much worse.

Hell, rehire Jones. Is it possible to do worse than what we just saw?

PS fahrfulmer

I also accidentally voted no, because the thread subject and the poll question are phrased directly opposite of each other.

I can't blame anyone for wanting to. But this is more than a Jeremy Pruitt problem. We just get worse. The fans pour so much into it, we sign guys that look so promising, we get a staff that has won, knows what it is to be winners. It always gets worse.

 

[TNinSC]

I mean, duh

That's probably what the ego maniac has been setting up the whole time

 

[Shaun1985]

He hasn’t even had full OC experience.

I expect it to happen because it's the most Tennessee thing that could happen.

 

[Arclight]

Calm down.

 

[GetYouSomeofThat]

Nope.
There we went.

 

[DWright39]

Lane Kiffin would crawl on broken glass to come back here

 

[VolEater]

Yea you definitely want coaches that couldn't win at other programs, like Muschamp.
UF...Fired
USjr...Gonna be fired soon
Gus ain't going to UT

1 game does not make or break a coach. We were not playing for a title, just a bowl game so this doesn't change that. A mid day against a crappy team and the guys didn't show up. The staff gets a week to fix it before BYU. If they dont get off the bus for that one then something has to give.

 

[G8rh8r]

I don’t think we can afford another buyout. I like CJP but he is in over his head. Great coordinator but he’s not up to this.

That said, I think he gets one more chance next week and if it’s another sh!tshow, he has to go. Appoint Big Jim as interim and limp through the season

 

[landscapingvol]

People voted yes?

What have you seen to vote no?

 

[Hunter10139]

I too accidentally voted no

I voted no on firing because I want to see how he and the team responds next week, if they come out flat and get blown out again, you fire him on the spot, promote Martin for the rest of the year and start making phone calls.

If he trots JG back out there as QB, Pruitt should be fired after the first offensive series.

I cant believe JG started this season. And after three terrible season's why does it seem there's no plan B in place. It seems like the coaching staff thought JG would magically improve despite multiple loses to Vandy.

 

[KeyVol14]

Give me Mike leach

I am curious...do you guys think fire him or just that he is such a new coach he needs more time.

Now

 

[GetYouSomeofThat]

Well crap

OP you screwed the pooch

Start another thread and do the d#$n question right.

I voted also

 

[BJWeeks]

Anytime you lose to a high school team then you should be on the HOT SEAT

 

[jblank]

People voted yes?

Why does that surprise you? He sucks as a coach. On talent alone we should win this game by 30 and he can’t coach up a defense enough to keep Georgia State under 35 points? He cannot motivate, isn’t developing players, and can’t prepare the team.

Dump him.

 

[golfballs]

If we fire Pruitt we have to also fire Phil

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

If Tennessee has a losing season this season I think Phil Fulmer should fire him and hire Hugh Freeze away from Liberty

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Should’ve never been hired...

 

[swampfoxfan]

Butch is still on the payroll. Bet he's smiling smugly tonight.

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

Got no choice. You're in this spot because you have three bad hires in a row. You finally get a coach that can get players to pick Tennessee over legit offers from Alabama and UGA along with hiring coaches with a strong track record. You have to give him time and take some lumps. Today was horrible and unexplainable. That's three games in a row with the team looking like they don't care. Something is definitely wrong, but you're not going to be able to fire your way to success this time. No proven good coach would answer the call to take on that kind of pressure anyways.
