Is Pruitt a Dead Man Walking?

[aRmo]

Pruitt is no where near being on hot seat or firing.

This is odd year and we didn’t get much prep for the season JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

Regardless, THE BAILEY ERA HAS STARTED BABY

The bailey ERA will end once Salter gets on campus. Pruitt and Chaney never wanted Bailey. Keep that in mind.

 

[lilesrt]

He's done. We're invested for a few more years but he will be gone after year 4 or 5, depending on how stubborn Fulmer wants to be.

Does that mean we’re done?

 

[Volz4lif3]

Tennessee continues to shat the bed, while we extend mediocre coaches for millions of dollars. Tennessee football had been dead for years 10 years or more, face it folks Tennessee will never get back to an elite level..

 

[99gator]

You should be happy.

It’s just another easier win against Tennessee

We've got our own problems right now.

The question is at both places, how much is short term vs. how much is long term.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

We're stuck with him a while.

 

[VolforFootball]

No. Not yet. He’ll get an opportunity to field a team that’s 4-5 of his own recruiting classes.

 

[EZE]

This season is about to fly off the rails. We just finished the easier part of the schedule and we do not have a viable option at the most important position on the field.

So, this is going to be a 2-8 to 4-6 campaign for yet another losing season. Pruitt will get next year no matter what, but his seat will be very hot. Another losing season and he won’t survive IMO. UT will have no choice but to fire him.

Done Fulmer and Pruitt both

This until this program kicks fulmer to the curb they'll be nothing.

Keep thinking that. Pruitt signed basically a 5 star QB in his 3rd class even though he deep down doesn't want the 5 star QB?

Makes total sense.

 

[Jwbvol]

Pruitt isn't going anywhere. Not after an extension.

Not with COVID killing budgets.

Another perfect storm for Tennessee. Truly cellar dwellars of the East.

Fulmer has to go when Pruitt does and hopefully soon.

They wanted Haynes King. They kept Bailey in the class as a BODY incase they missed on king, which they did.

 

[sjt18]

No. Pruitt just got an extension. He owns the QB situation. He owns the D and the baffling inability to stop anyone from completing passes in the middle. But he's safe for now.

He can lay blame off on Chaney or other assistants but UT will not fire him. They can't afford to pay him.

I'd say athletic departments are hemorrhaging money in covid. Nobody is going anywhere.

He bought both themselves time. Its why he extended him

 

[MurphyVol]

Well sleepwalk through another two seasons with Pruitt unfortunately.

Bailey was committed long before Haynes King was on their radar. Additionally, I say this again.... The idea that Pruitt signed a 5 star QB while deep down he didn't really want the guy in his 3rd year is downright laughable and foolish. It wasn't like his first class where he could take any 4/5 star player that he could get his hands on. To say Bailey wasn't wanted is just dumb. You even just admitted in your moronic logic.

 

[sechamp2012]

How we beat mizzou and Carolina is a damn mystery to me.

Yep Carolina besting Auburn

They have 2 seasons left but Pruitt isn’t going to get it done and they have to go.

Ours has been going on for at least 12 years. How about yours?

 

[VolInDayton]

No Pruitt is not a dead man walking. Any coach on the offensive side of the ball might be.

 

[G8rh8r]

Pruitt does not have what it takes to win in this conference. He’s a good guy, a decent recruiter, but ultimately he is not able to put a decent team on the field. We could blame COVID for a cruddy year, but the basic mistakes we are seeing over and over again, the lack of discipline, poor game plan/play calling, and inability to develop players is all coaching.

 

[Credo]

Fire him faster than you can run a comb thru his hair

Pruitt hired them and stuck by them. This is on the Gump

 

[orangefloyd]

Pruitt is Fulmers clone. He isn’t going anywhere. Don’t want Fulmer to hire another coach anyway. He sucks at it.
