And it will be like Pruitt never left.Marvin West has summed up the problems with the UT athletic department that has developed over the past several years. Now it is time for the UT leadership including Coach Fulmer to get the investigation finished and take immediate action to correct the situation even if it results in removing Coach Pruitt with cause and move on. If this investigation takes more time than the next two weeks and Pruitt is removed with cause, there is a strong possibility that either Fulmer temporarily assumes the coach position until a new coach is found. I honestly believe that Pruitt will be removed as coach with cause.
That last little bit at the end of the article makes me chuckle a bit; to think that a few years back, quite a few people were concerned that Alabama would lure Pruitt back...these days, it would be quite a blessing if he left of his own accord (whether the destination is Tuscaloosa or a cushy mid-management job at Hargraves Potted Meats).
As a graduate of UTK, I can tell you that Marvin West's article explains why I have been disappointed 365 days/year in the Board of Trustees and university leadership over a long period. Whether it was state politics and/or the money bosses, they failed and provided a university leadership family that was by and large inept, indecisive, even embarassingly inibriated at times, and not just in athletics. Putting Pruitt, who I think is basically a good person/father/man (but unfortunately from bama and not proven to take this job), as the voice that is so often heard is not a good look for the athletic dept or English dept.
If he gets another season, so be it, but it's ashame he/his family, the leadership and the fans will all be so uncomfortable through it all.
I resist this notion that Pruitt is a "good father"..."nice guy"...or even "good guy." There is zero proof that he is any of those. Based on what I've seen there is no evidence he is anything but a grade A jerk. "Good father?" Maybe. We don't know. He comes off as a pompous ass and jerk to me. Just cuz a guy has a family w kids doesn't make him a good guy.
Hopefully no one will ever have to make the same judgement about us uh?I resist this notion that Pruitt is a "good father"..."nice guy"...or even "good guy."
