Well there about to be a lot of transfer once the investigation is complete and we see how many penalties Tennessee gets slapped with. It will also be hard to get a good coach to come with that hanging over our heads

 

[RhodesVol]

He has a record of NCAA violations.

I think that Chadwell's checkered NCAA past was tied to lack of any compliance office, though. From what I understand he wasn't tied to the violations.

It didn't take that long for Penn State to recover. If we get the right coach, it won't take us that long either.

The most severe penalties for Penn State in 2011, were later retracted. However, there is only so much further for Tennessee football to fall. This isn't like USC in 2010... we already suck.

There will be a big wave of transfers coming up.

 

[bpalmer28]

So, Pruitt tells Henry, " I'm on my way out! ". Henry responds, "I'm on my way back!" ??? Weirder and weirder

Kevin Steele is the best LB coach in the SEC. Henry T has his eyes on the prize - NFL Draft.

And we'll recover.

Any news on Tee?

I could be way wrong but I think Tee turned them in.

And Harrison Bailey's Dad is probably calling Pruitt for where he will be coaching next.

 

[DC_Vol]

I was wondering just that. Was that confirmed? Tee’s job still intact?

I didn’t see the PC. Thanks.

 

[sonofUT62]

Why? Both are big upgrades over recent folks who've held their jobs.

Anybody who dislikes Plowman should go back and watch Davenports rambling.

 

[Vol_guy]

Is there a link that gives the details of every coach fired today. I am curious on who we have left.

 

[bpalmer28]

There will be a big wave of transfers coming up.

Why do you keep saying that? The players are on Twitter saying they're here for it. There's also been rumors of 3 more Auburn players transferring to Tennessee with Big Kat... The only wave that's been indicated is an influx of new players.

 

[BeecherVol]

I think this is much, much worse than we all thought.

Yeah.
All those cheering for violations so UT would make a move on Pruitt may get to find out what all comes with that.

 

[bpalmer28]

Good quesiton. It was a lot to take in just listening... Brian N, Sheldon F, Director of player personnel, offensive analyst, and a few unnamed recruiting staffers... I may be missing someone would be interested in the link requested.

 

[flatiron]

What overlook are we planning to hike over?

The Jump Off seems fitting

 

[OrangeTsar]

Tennessee will have next to no talent on this football team after the next wave of transfers that will come and i can't see winning more than three games as being possible.

A lot of people would have said the same about Arkansas this last season.

 

[Vol_guy]

Thank you

 

[MyVolsDropped]

We're in position to win 7 games and build from there.

I'll have what you're having.

Shoot. Give everyone around here some.

 

[OrangeTsar]

I almost threw up in my mouth listening to Randi Boyd build Phillip Fulmer up and tell him how much respect he has for him. Fulmer’s the one that hired the total idiot with zero coaching experience that got us in this mess to begin with. How on gods green earth Phillip fulmer sat in an interview with Jeremy Pruitt and listened to him communicate while thinking yes...this is the guy I want running our football department is as bizarre as anything. You got a quest and fulmer’s intelligence himself for making that decision. Good riddance. To them both

Agree with the praise or not, it is just good manners and class to say nice things about someone on their way out. We got the change that was probably necessary. There is no reason to twist the knife when the deed is done. It does no one any good to tear Fulmer or Pruitt down any further.

 

[VolNExile]

Plowman named the titles, but not the names. And @GAVol takes good notes:

Niedermeyer and Felton gone. 4 members of recruiting staff. Director and Asst director of personnel and Pruit all dismissed.

Total of 9, not 10.

Edit to add: and compliance/quality control? Don’t know if that’s the same as Personnel tho.

I can see that still just so weird to make those comments. So fake!!!

 

[Vols1891]

Wtf is Fulmer wearing? A black suit coat on top of a pullover? When you have a million dollar salary, how do you dress like this? View attachment 340331

It’s a suit jacket, on top of a pullover, on top of a white collared shirt.

It is just the way the game is played

 

[cd12]

Ok guys the purpose of this presser is to protect the legacy of Fulmer at all costs... let’s do this!

 

[PNW Huskie]

How in the heck are these three stooges the ones addressing the press? They sound like very poor representatives for the University. Foolmer? What's he been watching? He should have been sent packing in disgrace. The governor needs to step in boot the entire bunch. Oh...My...God...pure $hit show. After watching this clown show no wonder the football program is in the shape it's in.
