Football Program Under Investigation [merged]

If this is true then it could be TN's way out of Pruitt's buyout for cause. That makes firing him that much easier and likely.

Fire them all for cause.

For the 10th time. Pruitts name wasn’t even mentioned in the article. We are stuck with him for another year

0% chance. That would be unprecedented stupidity.

For real; to save millions you risk opening yourself up to lawsuits that would cost you even more?

Actually now that I thought it out, this place might be that stupid.

That’s like getting caught cheating on a test you got an F on

Maybe my favorite volnation quote of all time.

JG the whistleblower

Well someone certainly blew the whistle....

 

[volKano]

When did he finally get benched and when did the investigation start?

Honestly, you should be ashamed of yourself for accusing someone without any knowledge of the situation.

Funny how the investigation started like the week he got benched for good lol

I’m so ashamed

Alright, @DeerPark12, spill it. What do you know? Is this anything to be concerned about?

P.S. what a time to break something...right at kickoff of our game. Sheesh.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Here's your fire with cause boys. Plan is working to perfection.

We cannot and will not get that lucky.

 

[MurphyVol]

On the bright side....maybe we have cause now?

AD may have leaked it haha

Unless they fire the staff and hire a new one and then announce a month later... nothing found. Kinda smart

 

[jcvols24]

This could be a made up story by the higher ups to show reason to fire Pruitt and save millions. Just my opinion

I was thinking this as well. All programs cheat and this was started within our compliance department? Smells like a power move that coincidentally lessens support for Freeze.

Him not being mentioned in the article doesn't mean the investigation can't find him at some fault. It's not as simple as "he's not in the article".

Why? He’s just some random guy sitting at home on his couch

 

[volfanhill]

Why aren't reputable sites reporting this? Espn? Probably because it's a minor thing and it's not a big deal?[/Just In: Tennessee Football Under Investigation from Compliance and NCAA

How do you feel about Sports Illustrated ?

These investigations take forever. This has nothing to do with firing him. We probably won’t have a decision until late next year.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

Won’t touch Pruitt directly. Will be an assistant coach and unnamed booster. Pruitt will be reprimanded, assistant fired and lose 2 recruits (that weren’t coming anyways). JMO

Maybe an unnamed poster who regularly posts on a free message board implying that he is a bag man?

 

[SmokeyDog1973]

Freeze soon!!!!!!!

 

[MyVolsDropped]

I would love to see the police escort ol Gump out of the stadium live on TV and send him back to Bama.

Well bye nieds

Doesn't matter if his name was mentioned. The key is was he aware. If so, it could be "lack of institutional control." They have only mentioned who they have talked to so far. Of course JP is gonna say he didnt know. It wouldnt surprise me if this was on purpose honestly.

 

[TNHopeful505]

Well bye nieds

I mean....if I'm honest, there was always a part of me that wondered how he recruited so well when before he came to Tennessee nobody had even heard of him before.

I don't particularly care who the whistleblower was. Regardless, Pruitt sucks as a head coach, and apparently he didn't pay attention when Jimbo and Saban were teaching the fine art of cheating in the recruiting game.

tennessee's been under probation for the past 15 years
