Fire Pruitt [merged]

[Smokey1990]

I'm gonna vote no for now, but if we don't respond and beat BYU, then I'll be on the fire Pruitt bandwagon. For now, just fire all the coaches on the defensive side of things. That was the worst defensive performance I've ever seen from this team. Also bench JG.

 

[ibvolman]

Lose to BYU, and he should be fired. Put Tee and Dick as interim coaches until we can hire a proven coach. Of course that means the Universtity has to be willing to finally pay the money it would require, but the direction we are headed, there won't be many fans buying tickets if it continues.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

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

If JG starts next week and BYU wins, Pruitt should not be leading the Vols against UTC.

Fulmer pulls a Barry Alvarez and fires the coach and takes over as HC the rest of the way.

 

[Cartervol]

Looks to be in over his head at this point..They regressed from a year ago if that is even possible.

Worst loss in program history...he better feel like he is on the hot seat.

It seems we always forget about the good things a coach has done with something bad happens. I’m sick to my stomach with this loss, but Pruitt is bringing in a ton of talent (already has) of SEC caliber players. Idk what the hell happened today, that was a sh$$ show and I don’t know how to explain it. Pruitt beat Auburn and a top 10 Ky team last year, as well as a number 12 recruiting class with a pretty good incoming class as well. Everyone has there off day. I don’t see how people can let their emotions get ahead of them and turn on him so quick.

I don't see how Coach Pruitt and his Coaching Staff recovers from something like this except to win 9-10 games this season

Friend has to go. Find somebody who is not coaching to come in and work with the OL. They couldn't do any worse.

 

[philly1972]

We will never be competitive with JG as QB. We need someone who can make plays, not stand in one position for 5 seconds. He is slow at every he does, not pocket awareness. Need to make a change. What in the heck do we have to loose?

 

[JoAllan]

No excuses, horrible job today.

Should he be fired? No.

A lot of other factors are at play here and it's only the start of y3.

New everything it seems like for us, GAst while not good was a team schematically that paired well against us.

Should be fired......no
But do I want him to be fired.......yes (right now I do).

 

[landscapingvol]

Are you SERIOUSLY saying that we should have kept John Currie? REALLY??????

Could he do any worse??

I'm collecting Vol Cards after the game.

You’ll find mine in the trash can.

It doesn't pay to stock your coaching staff with your buddies

Check the trash cans, you'll find plenty.

Two different question on the poll.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

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.

And we had Mike Leach on the hook. Unreal.

 

[Giveem6]

Change the title of the poll OP to the title of your question. Everyone that voted no like me was responding to your question not the poll question.

 

[VonVol2]

Our coach is an absolute joke. He gave this team zero confidence today. I thought it couldn't get worse than Butch. It has. He is completely inept. I wish all Vol fans would stop buying gear and going to the games. That's the only thing that will change it.

BEST POST in the last 6 months on this board. Excellent!

That’s what it will take. Not an up & coming assistant who has never been a HC but a WINNER at the highest level might possibly be able to come in & resurrect TN football from the dead. Pruitt IS NOT the answer!!!

 

[FLVOL_79]

He has done nothing to show any improvement. It's the same old same old hot garbage.

 

[scottvols69]

How people can apologize this away and still support this idiot.. it's like battered wife syndrome.

Ut gets no more of my money or time until they care as much about this team as the fans.

Its cooling off the fishing should be good next weekend...

He don’t care. He’ll take about $16mil back to Sand Mountain Alabama and be a DC at Alabama again.

 

[Billy Ratliff]

Anyone who thinks Pruitt isn’t safer than Fort Knox thru year 3 at minimum doesn’t know Coach Fulmer or is short on brain cells.

Can you give us a list of acceptable candidates? TIA.

 

[Butch s]

Seriously he should be released tonight. You just can’t stay after this embarrassing horrible display, and I have backed CPF all along but this is on him also. Should have never hired an Alabama fan and coach to be head coach at the university of Tennessee. Who do you think Pruitt’s favorite college football team is
