Will you stop this man? goodness he’s good and will be back. I’ve never seen such stupidity on a message board in my life. Was the season a wash? Yes. We’re there unforeseen or uncontrollable circumstances? Yes. Can it be fixed? IMO Yes with Spr and Fall practice absolutely.
1. Qbs Salter/ Bailey are both better and will get plenty of teaching time with Chaney.
2. OL coach will be an upgrade
3. LB coaching will improve
4. DL coaching will improve
5. Defense will be better with the addition of Kevin Steele

Well said.
1. Add Hooker to that. We just lost JG and added Salter, Hooker and a second year Bailey. Most importantly, JG won't be getting any more of the others reps.
2. Almost any OL coach should be better.
3. LB coaching from Steele, if that is the case, will be an enormous upgrade.
4. We didn't have a DL coach, so you are right. A good coach and all of the returning DL, which is almost all of them, should return to their 2019 form.
5. Definitely.

Your statement indicated to me that "the team" (UT) would perform better under them than for Pruitt. There is no factual basis for that. NOTHING Liberty did has any bearing on UT. Just agenda driven speculation. You are entitled to your own speculation

Hugh Freeze has Liberty ranked inside the top 25 with a bunch of walkons and 2 stars, and Pruitt can't get UT into the top 75 with top 15 recruiting classes.

It's relatively safe to say that Freeze would do more with the recruited talent on UT's roster than Pruitt has done in the past three seasons.

6-6 probably gets him 2022. 7-5 absolutely would.

Disagree. Outside of serious violations I’ve been for Pruitt staying. But all that rolls up to an assumption that Covid turned us upside down more than other teams. I’d say a min of 8 wins to keep his job past 2021. 8-9 wins contributes to 2020 being an outlier season. 7 wins or less says we got better than 2020, but no better than year 2

I suggest. those who believe Pruitt is safe, to and watch the sports source. It’s on YouTube. If he’s safe why are they all saying what they’re saying?

Per my information all the things line up correctly we will be good and much better coached. I differ from most and deaf about the 2020 season. But I do know real factors of the bad logistics, coaching, and COVID were too much to overcome. I do blame CJP for things under his control like keeping Friend and Weinke, also moving Nieds to coach LBs, the handling of the Brumbaugh situation.

Stupidity?,, Stop talking about Pruitt like he's retarded and we all have to make special accommodations for him,,
He is a professional coach and should be held to the high standards of someone making 4 million plus per year!!
This isn't a charity and Jeremy isn't one of Jerry's kids!!
You are what your record says you are and Jeremy Pruitt so is a loser in two of his three years.
He should man up and be held accountable for his record and other foolish actions such as hiring coaches without interviewing them ! Then firing them just four games into the season!
By the way, has he fired Kevin Steele yet and put UT on the hook for his buyout? I don't trust any new coaching hires as Jeremy has proven he will ignore their talents then micromanage, overrule them and make the calls himself anyways..

Exactly. People need to stop guarding their ignorance on this matter and accept reality. HE IS NOT COACHING HERE IN 2021!

I think @de1conley works at the Thornton Athletics Student Life Center (someone will correct me if I'm not remembering that right). He is one of the few legitimate insiders here. His info is usually solid.

I’m not trying to diminish anyone’s job but that’s like sayin a specialist in the army knows where the next six deployments are going to happen and for how long.

That is not an apt analogy. There are only about 100-120 people among the Administrative Athletics Staff at the University of Tennessee... and there aren't many secrets kept. It's not like there is classified information of a national security interest to protect over there. And like I said, his track record is pretty good.

You still aren't making any sense, "yugo parts"? Have you even looked at our recruiting rankings in the last 4 years?
