I like this Pruitt guy

This is the major downside of not hiring a premier, sitting head coach. We absorb the beginner mistakes. Let’s hope they don’t happen too often.

Yeah that is part of it but when you hire a good coordinator as a first time head coach you know it's going to happen and I'm ok with that. You definitely don't want it to continue, like when they've been a head coach for years and still constantly make those mistakes we've been a part of that as well.

Outside chance - VERY outside - that we would have BEAT those mountaineers, had NO mistakes been made. At least he owns his.

Do we have any choice?

You have a choice.

I’m pulling for Pruitt more than I ever did for Butch, Dooley, or Kiffin. That’s for sure. I’ve always wanted the Vols to succeed but I now want this MAN to succeed, if that makes sense. He will right the ship.

Agreed. He talks good like me.

After watching the game, I can actually say that MOST of the time during the game the right defense was called but the players just didn't execute! In other words the better players won their 1 to 1 matchup. Also, the screen play JG overthrew ball which would most likely been close to a touchdown and then JG overthrew the ball in the endzone........and then Abernathy's missed tackle which was a TD..............

I tend to think that Pruitt is getting a lot of counsel from Fulmer on how to handle the off the field. media, and donor/administration ins and outs of being a HC.

Love that hes real and honest. To me, this isnt just someone admitting he could do better but admitting he doesnt know all the answers because hes learning on the job. His comments about the offense shows hes willing to do whatever is needed. Hes pretty much the total opposite of the last 3 coaches and thats refreshing, at the least.

Well don't forget..... He is married.

As long as he doesn't teach him how to go to Shoney's with a lawyer.

The owners of the Vols like Jack Burton and I. That's who.
