Very few teams are playing consistently week to eeek this year...look at the VOLS - one team beats South Carolina on the road and then Missouri at home But then looks horrible in a blow out loss to Kentucky.

After watching Auburn what I thought was a toss up is now looking like a loss. Florida, TAMU look like losses based on what I’ve seen from the 2020 Vols. Arkansas which is more improved after 6 months than we are in the third year of a rebuild. Arkansas was horrid the last two years. Horrible.

If we go 3-7 we have to move on from Pruitt. Will we make the move that’s needed or will we allow him to drag us BB (below butch)?

Football doesn't work that way exactly. How a team plays on game day is not something you can quantify and apply it week in and week out, except for Alabama maybe.

I disagree with no. 2. If Bailey or Maurer get in a game and play well, JG will not start the next game.

If JG starts against arky we just gotta pray like hell he does something to get out of the game as quick as possible and godspeed to Maurer or Bailey to hold onto that thing tight!

We know if they make ONE mistake they're back to the bench!

They'd rather let JG shoot himself in the Plaxico Burress a few more times!

Let me prep you for what’s going to happen OP.

1) We aren’t firing Pruitt this year under any circumstance

2) Pruitt isn’t benching JG this year under any circumstance[/

I tend to believe 3-7 and he’s done and rightfully so, if he can’t compete with UK in year three then we know what we have. There’s not one recruit that’s developed under this staff, not one player who’s better than when he arrived on campus.

He could win out or he could lose every game except Vandy. IF he loses all 5 games left, he will be fired.

Tell me again, where does the $12 million come from?

Its not as much that. You dont have to pay it all up front.

It has more to do with Fulmer not firing him after 3 years and a loss of several million in revenue due to covid. And that doesn't stop with just football it extends across most sports in the ath dept.

And there's no guarantee that the financials are back to normal next year.

Short of a scandal hes not going anywhere.

Auburn beating a bad LSU team made you change your mind that much huh? I don't understand some people's logic. Auburn should of loss to Arkansas and Ole Miss.

The reality is anyone can beat anyone in the SEC outside Alabama (no one is beating them) and Vandy. (They ain't beating anyone).

The only way that's going to happen is if Fulmer goes first. He hired him and he's not going to fire him anytime soon.

I think they will remain loyal. I also believe 2021 will change our perception under Pruitt.

I sure hope you are right, because we can't afford to fire him for 2 or 3 more years. And I am not in favor of firing him, however, if I don't see improvement next year I will think differently.

One recruiting has us at no. 4. Another one has us at number 10. No two in the SEC., and no. 6. So, I don’t know right now how the rankings will fall.

A lot of that is because we have more commitments right now, that will change when other schools get more commitments. We need to be at least 3 or 4 in the sec to have any chance of being competitive.

If we do make a change I hope it is after we have replaced the AD. Besides it is cheaper to replace the AD than a head coach.

In my opinion Fulmer was looking to extend himself in his role as athletic director by protecting Pruitt from termination, making it a $12 million check to write to get away from Fulmer's mess, in a year where it is obvious Pruitt is struggling with talent development and being competitive with the top tier of the SEC,

The fan uproar over a BS bowl assignment last year got Fulmer off his duff to aggressively lobby the conference for a better gig during bowl season, but the only thing sadder than Pruitt being in over his head is Fulmer in over his head in a position at a time when money is very tight, the costs have not been contained, the big revenue maker isn't performing at year 3 expectations, Barnes and men's hoops now report directly to Randy Boyd after Fulmer assumed basketball was just indoor football and fully surpassed his football first mentality,

Sharp minds and longtime fans quickly understand that the mediocrity within this football program starts at the top and the commitment to excellence in the ultracompetitive contemporary SEC doesn't reside with Fulmer, he just doesn't get it, as after his termination in 2008 there was nowhere to go, even Saban wouldn't put him on as a rehab project, major programs didn't need his outdated and obsolete capability, paybacks are hello, but with Fulmer it's always the fans that end up paying and severely dissappointed, as long as he is at the helm, football is going nowhere fast, aight?
