Not honoring Pruitt's contract

[1200DPI]

Doug Mathews is concerned that UT may not honor Pruitt's contract. He believes coaches may say "no thanks" when UT comes calling. They won't be able to trust UT.

Don’t commit 50+ violations and it won’t be an issue. And yes, I know every school cheats. But look at comments from other coaches regarding Pruitt. They were so blatant that no one was surprised by this.

 

[Voljerm98]

Pruitt didn't honor his.

 

[BlinghamptonVol]

Hopefully we don’t want any coaches that are planning on getting caught cheating.

 

[VFL-82-JP]

Pruitt didn't honor his.

Amen.

Doug is missing that VERY BIG point.

Perhaps the coach and his staff should not violate the terms of thier employment and NCAA rules.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

UT is honoring Pruitt's contract. There's a section that says reasons Pruitt can be fired for cause and he (likely) violates at least 2 or 3 of those provisions. UT is following the contract to a "T" and firing Pruitt for cause.

Looks like they are honoring the contract of his buddy Phil, who clearly doesn’t deserve it.

Matthews probably still thinks that Pruitt stays as the head coach. He’s irrelevant.

UT doesn't have to pay Cornbread's buyout since him and his staff violated NCAA rules when it comes to recruiting a hell of a lot of times.

He's Phul Fillmer's puppet and mouthpiece

 

[Kinglberry]

He's concerned they won't honor it? Haven't they explicitly said they aren't paying him. No buyout. Fired for cause. What the hell is he smoking up just now find all this out? They aren't going to pay him, unless a settlement. If items coaches are concerned. Go somewhere else. Obviously CJH isn't concerned. Nor must Tee and a few others who are upset they didn't get an interview or the job.

 

[OldandStillaVol]

LOL. Does he honestly think that UT fired Pruitt without their lawyers’ opinion?

 

[Ratvol]

If you cheat and get caught there are penalties. Only a cheater wouldn’t want to be a part of that.

Go VOLS

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

And with this...Doug Matthews has jumped the shark.

Again.

I guess this is some lame attempt to make firing Pruitt and shoving Fulmer out was a mistake.

Loyal to Fulmer over the program until the bitter end.

 

[BenGrimm]

FL fired Their last coach for cause. They had no trouble hiring Mullen.

I like Mathews but he is kinda out of touch.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

Whether it is written in there or not losing at home to Kentucky by 4 touchdowns is a breach of any Tennessee coach's contract.

 

[DaddyChad]

Problem with Tennessee job is it’s one of the hardest places to win in the country, administration is incompetent, and boosters are meddling. A good AD can help a lot but the stink isn’t going to wear off overnight.

Mathews is a Fulmer mouthpiece and a vandy goob. Fulmer has enriched himself greatly at the expense of UT. He's been self serving and negligent. Frankly, I think UT has been extremely kind and generous with how they've handled Fulmer's performance as the AD which has been nothing short of disastrous. Hopefully, we've seen the last of Fulmer. Sadly, I see no end to the repetitive bore that is Doug Mathews.

 

[Ratvol]

The looming NCAA sanctions against us pretty much limited our coaching search. I believe we hired the best we could under these circumstances.

Go VOLS

 

[bigfredtn]

Time for Doug to make something else up.

 

[Sara Clark]

Pruitt didn't honor his.

It doesn't matter to another coach coming in here. The appearance is that the school "used" it to get out of his contract for cause, therefore not paying him an additional dollar. He did what every other school is doing. Appearance is everything!

 

[give_him 6]

I am sure UT will end up paying Pruitt something. They've been printing money over there since November.

 

[Dustin4Vols]

Go VOLS

So you don’t think nick saban, dabo, Kirby, etc.. cheat? You are foolish if you think so. Competition is all about doing everything you can to gain a competitive edge.

Why is it Mathews concern?
Pruitt had a contract which he breeched the terms of so no he shouldn’t get any money. Neither should Fulmer who deliberately tried to hide the violations.

Furthermore, let’s see how committed Tennessee is to winning and if White will do what he says if his pick for HC goes south.
