Fire Pruitt

[GVol1966]

South Carolina has 30 to 40 million in reserve which is why they fired Muschamp.
Tennessee has 10.8 in reserve so they cannot afford to fire Pruitt.

This information was provided by Jimmy Hyams on his pregame show today when asked by callers why Pruitt could not be fired after this season.

Boosters with billions, boosters with billions, boosters with billions.
Keep repeating.
Every team has them. If they want it it happens.
Stop rehashing this UT money crap.

Meanwhile, Chip's team lost by only 3 to Oregon tonight. Must be nice to have a competent head coach. One that we probably could have had here. Sadly, Fulmer doesn't want a head coach that knows how to win or at least be able to put a competitive football team on the field.

Pruitt wants that buyout money

Can they not fire him over incompetence and failure to train the players per his contract as head coach? Seems like if he can hold up his end of the deal, we should be able to terminate with out owing him a penny.

I'll match the $1K

I'll match your match. With so many clamoring over the buyout, been wondering if something like this could take hold. We can raise the money our damn selves. My elderly mother said she'll pitch in, too. She doesn't want to die with the VOLS sucking this badly.

I'll match the $1K

Wohoo! And I probably missed some too. I know someone on here can set up an account. If we only raised 5 mil, that would be enough to get big money guys chipping in. I'm good for a few hundred. I had some unfortunate things happen to me this year or I could do better.

Mike Leach's team lost to Georgia by 7 points tonight. Pruitt has been here for 3 years and we've lost to Georgia by 20 plus points each year he has been here.

Starting a freshman who threw for about 340 yards and it was at Georgia where MSU hasn't won since 1956.

Wish I could give you and your Ma 10 more likes.

I'm in for a $100 if I thought we could really get something going.

I legit would throw in a $100 as well.

 

[JoAllan]

I just want to see what the rock has to say about it.

That's the thing with Leach. His team might not have the best record this year but they will make improvements. And if there is bad play on the football field he'll make whatever adjustments needed in order to give his team the best chance to win. Imagine what he could have accomplished already by year 3 with the resources here.

Not a subscriber to the KNS, but based on the headline...Adams seems to have a column that says the only reason to not fire him would be money.

SC could afford to fire Muschump though

 

[DonDiego]

Here's an option: Hire Jim Chaney as HC. He's undefeated as a HC, better than what any other HC candidate can say. Won't have to also pay his buyout.

Yeah, but his massive azz is oft deafeaten as an OC...to quote the Bard

You're on the right track...keep on not subscribing

So everybody, I've made the suggestion. I'm not sure of the mechanics. I wasn't kidding. There are some very smart attorneys on this site (see Trading Places with Eddie Murphy --lol). Maybe we could get one of them to handle the money as a fiduciary. Freek has one of my email addresses. I'll work with anyone interested.

 

[BLUTickbusdriver]

How do you run for that many yards and lose?

Terrible red zone play, specifically, from
The QBs position!

 

[Ledzepvol]

I watched the game tonight, but I'm growing more apathetic. I was more excited that today it was warm enough to wash, polish, wax and seal my new truck. I hope we find a way to pull a win out over Vandy, but I have my doubts, reckon will see.. I personally don't believe Pruitt can get it done here. We have no chance of ever beating Bama, Florida or UGA with Pruitt as the head coach. I bleed orange, and just hate to see what has become of Tennessee football, as we are constantly stuck in mediocrity. Eventually, Pruitt will be let go and another coaching search and hire will take place, but the Tennessee football program I knew is unlikely to return, but I'll always be a Vols fan.. GBO!

 

[UTwild82]

Can we hire Steve Smucker?

You know......cause with a name like Smucker’s he has to be good.

The call Northwestern Pat's Cats. We could be Smucker's.....

 

[Volsonyourface]

I'll match the $1K

We got 5 or 6 so far who else?

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

What is frustrating about this loss tonight is we were not out talented athletically vs. Auburn like we were against Alabama and Georgia. Same applies for Kentucky and Arkansas. Three losses because of inept coaching in preparation, player development and in game coaching decisions.

 

[casual-observer]

Something doesn’t add up here.

I will do the math for you...

100-yard pick 6 (+7 TEN, -7AUB)
Missed FG (+3 TEN)
Missed FG (+3 TEN)

Add it all up and you get:

Tennessee 30 Auburn 23

 

[Duckyvol59]

I've never heard anyone mention that early signing day is 6 days after the season is over. Its either now or never to fire him. With Phil it will be never

 

[Aerie Vol]

I'm seriously in for the $100.

 

[EZE]

Something doesn’t add up here.

Tenn with two missed FGs and a pick-6. Adjust for that and it’s 23-23.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Tenn with two missed FGs and a pick-6. Adjust for that and it’s 23-23.

14 possible point swing on the Int. Tn wins by 7.

 

[volmanNC]

Forget the field goals;

Just the Pick 6 is enough;

Auburn -7 Tenn +7

Tenn 24
Auburn 23
