Jim Chaney interim

[brasskicker251]

Let's say Tennessee's season goes something similar to the way it's first game went. What's the earliest Pruitt would be let go(maybe if we go 1-6/1-7)? Secondly, what would the interim (Chaney or Tee) have to do to keep the job for next season? And finally, if Chaney becomes head coach, he has to bring in Sam Pittman right?

Pittman probably could have come when Chaney did but likes his gig at UGA.

I think we should let it play just a little longer before writing the severance checks.

Pruitt is not getting fired during or after his second season without something off the field.

How many people are gonna ask this dumb question

 

[Dudleys87]

It’s better if we just take our lumps with Pruitt then to start another process over again

 

[Alto1]

No happening.

True but Pruitt needs to let his coaches coach

I agree but this is hypothetical. If chaney is headcoach could he convince Pittman to come. They've been together everywhere else

This you reading Fulmer’s mind?

I agree with your premise, but if he loses to UTC, he has to be gone, right?

 

[GAVol]

Indeed

Pruitt could drop a 0-12 and he will still be the coach for one more year...unless some serious, and I mean SERIOUS, cash money folks show up.
Chances he drops a goose egg are as likely as he goes 11-1.

Just face it folks, like him or not and regardless of record, Pruitt is here one more year.
If he does happen to get a 6-6, possibly 7-6 with a bowl win, that seals the deal for two years.

If you had the best job you’ve ever had, would you take a lesser job knowing the new job would only last 3-5 years? Just because your friend would be your boss?

Right. Even I don't see that happening tho

Ansley was never gonna be the guy anyway. It’s always gonna be whatever Pruitt wants

 

[Pineyvol]

Perfect!!

Ooh good point haha. I think Chaney could be a good coach if he was given time and got somebody to control the defense. Maybe Kevin steele? But regardless, Pittman could probably get the o line job at Alabama if he wanted

Right. Pruitt and Ansley can't decide how to run the defense so we give up 38 points to Georgia....State

Pruit has a minimum of 2 more years and possibly 3 or 4

If you're going to ask a stupid hypothetical question, why one so boring? A career OC getting a second stint as an interim? A good OL coach coming back to help? Really?

Go big. Something like: "How big of a raise does Pruitt get if he goes 2-10 with blowout wins over Florida and Alabama?"

 

[Bucket18]

Gruden Soon

I’m all for “let’s keep firing until we get it right”

But seriously how many of these threads can their be in one week.

I think we both think that UT is going to take BYU to the shed?

 

[JoAllan]

Ok no fire, but if Tennessee loses can he at least bench himself for a week?

Bring back Pruitt/sherrer
