Report: Could Jeremy Pruitt be fired at UGA today?

Here is some of the context from the fallout, isn’t something new, much ado about nothing in my opinion. Everyone already knows his rep is he doesn’t get along with others, that isn’t newsbreaking. BUT, he wasn’t the guy, he was the subordinate. Most people who become boss change their view and their attitude. I think just something to get clicks imo. Nothing that happened at Ga is going to matter what he does at Tn, I’d say Pruitt has changed, if he hasn’t, we all will be witnesses...

I’d quibble that portion of your post that it is “known that he doesn’t get along well with others”. If you take his whole portfolio instead of just the UGA experience. There are the dating coeds rumors at FSU but I’d hardly characterize that with DIFFICULT. He had a beef with ONE COACH...who happened to be his boss. No like difficulties with the others he worked for...dating back to high school. In fact, he quickly formed his staff and they happened to have both FSU and UGA on resume. Seems like except for Richt, he worked VERY well with others.

So you think the talent @ Tennessee as as good as Bama, UGa, UFL, LSU, and TA&M? Compare OLines, Dlines, LBs and CBs. Name me any of those five teams which do not have better talent @ those positions. Plus, anyone who knows anything about football at any level kows that you do not win football games if your Olines and Dlines are not superior to your competition. After 2-3 years of Pruitt's recruiting, I expect our talent will be more compartmental to the current leaders in the SEC.

I think there is some reality here. YES we have talent. We've all seen the hype video. Callaway and Jennings are ballers, Chandler can run like greased lightning. Trey Smith - hope he's OK and can play.. and there is more.

Problem is, UGA, AUB, ALA are loaded, and not rebuilding. I predict wins against UF (Neyland advantage, and South Carolina. Also Kentucky and Vandy. I'd be happy with that. We'll know a lot after UWV.

Let's kick this thing off. Tired of waiting!!

These two guys were Siamese Twins, surgically separated from the "69" position.

That's why they always walk around with their thumbs up their butt or in their mouths.

We aren't in the same hemisphere as Georgia right now, but I think that Pollack & Murray are fully aware that Tennessee is more than capable of getting to Georgia's level. They see that Pruitt has already reeled in some of the nation's best recruits over the SEC's elite despite coming off a 4-8 season. Because of that, they are using their platform to try to create doubt as to whether Pruitt is the guy to get Tennessee back.

This isnt to say that there weren't some hostile exchanges between Richt and Pruitt because there were. Pollack and Murray both played for Richt and are coming to his defense, but that's definitely not the only reason for them throwing shade at Pruitt. I think it was clear that Finebaum and even Greg McElroy came to Pruitt's defense today when Pollack started trashing him.

Pollack also has an unwillingness or inability to differentiate between types of rebuilding jobs, which McElroy was trying to educate him on. He insinuated that Tennessee should more or less be a big time program again by year 2 (probably because that's what Georgia did last year), and if not then Pruitt isn't the guy.

This is not a Kirby at Georgia, Urban at Ohio St, or Saban at Alabama rebuilding job. This rebuilding job is more similar to what Dabo inherited at Clemson, except we are worse than Clemson was when Dabo took over.

If there are not obvious strides ahead by year 2 and especially year 3, then Pruitt probably isn't the guy. But for Pollack to suggest that Tennessee should be "back" after only 1 rebuilding year is an ignorant statement, or a statement he is making out of emotion.

I also thought it was interesting that McElroy said he thought Murray's comments about Pruitt were likely personal, and I agree. I'm assuming Murray is a huge fan of Richt, heard the stuff about Pruitt (they weren't there at the same time), and he made an emotional statement about Pruitt's abilities based on those feelings.

Agreed... Finebaum, and Marcus Spears both made similar if not verbatim remarks earlier in the day. As UT fans we can either take offense to remarks made out of pettiness by the georgia alums or you can take the high road and ignore it as noise.

Running scared from what? We have been a cellar dwellar for 10 years. Pruitt has a high ceiling and is a defensive mastermind but is completely unknown as a head coach.

I don't get the running scared comment either. Pruitt may end up being a good HC but at this point no one knows how he will do.

Pollack and Murray are trying to help UGA. They are trying to use media days as a platform to push that narrative.

This has everything to do with the #1 OL committed to UT, they are trying to get Pruitt out of Georgia, and to bring this up at the SEC Media is further proof. They waited until now to make these statements? Paul saw saw right through that little tactic..........what a couple of douches. IF this was true, it would have come out way before now.

Fake news, CJP must have UGA fans really worried, I am betting CJP's defensive stats are better that Kirby's and they see the power of the SEC switching to UT......its good to be a Tennessee Vol! :rock::rock::rock:

Cornbread! Go Vols!

I choose a third option and view it as the best form of compliment. They always tell you whom they fear.

2nd and 26. Only 1 thing to do. DONT GET BEAT DEEP. That's choking.

The Hail Mary game against UT was 3 mins of atrocious coaching (both sides). Noone was in front of JJ. Throwing out of endzone when you couldnt guard Barnett. The 2 penalties last 10 secs.

Against Vandy, you didnt give ball to Chubb or Michel on 4th and inches. Masons first SEC road win.

Losing 13 pt 4th quarter lead to a GT team that cant pass.

There's losses and then theres those 4. Butch choked away way too many as well.

UGA was just flat bad in 2016 and since they weren’t expected to win I don’t really see it as choking. Imo choking is when you’re favored to win and let the atmosphere or situation make you lose your composure. I doubt anyone would disagree with the fact that UGA, for once, exceeded expectations in 2017. Either way, it’s all subjective and if what they did constitutes choking to you, then in your mind they choked. I’m just ready to talk about current football instead of past football. The season can’t get here fast enough.

To say Georgia choked last year because they lost the title game in OT is just silly. That isn't a choke.

Georgia isn't so much a choker as they are an underachiever. They badly underachieved in seasons like 2008, 2009, 2010, 2013, and 2015. The 2012 South Carolina game stands out as a situation where they inexplicably got destroyed. It's why Richt is no longer there.

Murray comes into one of the important recruiting areas for Pruitt and throws him under the bus. It's clear what Murray and Pollack's agenda is - hurt Vols recruiting and help UGA. This negative recruiting nonsense is not new. This will only ensure that Pruitt targets the top recruits in Georgia. It's sad that these media hacks feel they have the right to further their own agenda.

God that game was rough for me to watch. Also weird to get completely dominated by USCe then give Bama a hell of a fight in the SEC Championship. Seems like every 5 years or so UGA would have a good year. 2002 close, but the UF loss killed us. 2007 trip up early to USCe and of course your Vols. 2012 which we just discussed and 2017 which just happened. Kind of a weird coincidence, hope I don't have to wait for 2022 for our next good year:lolabove:

And Finebaum made damn sure to slap them with a dose of reality right there on the panel. I was proud of that guy for once.
