Player or coaching problem

For the most part (football) Tennessee has gotten coaches on the cheap, they hope they can get lucky with one, and it all works out.

However their “cheap” turns into expensive when they fire them, and have to pay a buy out......then leaving Tennessee to hire another coach and another full staff.

You can buy 4 pairs of Payless shoes......or simply buy one good pair.......from the get go.

Pruitt is a Payless brand of shoe......and it’s certainly showing.

Just asking. Would live Meyer here because he’s a winner. Period. But besides Mason is there any other coach in the SEC that you wouldn’t prefer over Pruitt? Every other team has improved week to week. Maybe not Miss State or LSU, but everyone looks more competent than UT.

Trask has thrown for 6 TD in the first friggin half against Arkansas and JG has thrown for 6 all year!!! Man oh man we suck so bad compared to Florida. Dan Mullen knows how to put points on the board, Pruitt is a defensive coordinator playing head coach.

Practicing to be a Head Coach.
We have became a testing zone for HC, Thing is Dooley , Butch & Pruitt have failed the test. Kiffin bailed to quick to know.
Think Pruitt is the best evalulator & recruiter. Think Pruitt puts his 2 cents in to many places and doesn't know when to hold or fold. We heard rumors of that with he & Richt. Think Saban was to strong of personality for Pruitt to even attempt to go there at Bama. This hurt Richt/UGA and has turmoiled here. We are getting players that should allow us to be 5 thru 8 in power ranking of 14 teams. If coached up a chance to compete for division but every team is chalking up W when they see out name come up. Even Vandy scored 30+ vs UK. Now Vandy looks at UT and say that's our Bowl game.

A coaching problem. No accountability for game performance or effort. Poor game planning and utilization of talent. Complete lack of leadership from the HC. I think JP thinks being an A.hole is leadership. My two cents.

I don't know the answer, but, anecdotally, I have always wondered about many of our highly ranked recruits who aren't pursued by Alabama, Georgia, etc.. What do they see that turns them off to a guy we pick up?

It was my understanding that we did contact Mullen and that he waited on and took the Florida job.

I think this is true and is probably the sole indication that some of the people who used to be in the UTAD and some of the boosters who used to be more involved actually had a clue what they were doing. I would have been underwhelmed at the time, but hindsight shows that he was probably the best hire we could have made. Unfortunately, a lot of jobs opened up. We are in a unique situation this year. Very few people will replace a head coach at the end of this season, which means virtually no competition if you can identify a target. Wait until 2021, and we'll be right back where we were in 2017 having to compete with lots of other programs with plenty of money, better developed rosters, and more fertile recruiting grounds where it's easier to flip a roster and win quickly. The iron is hot now and it's a buyer's market. Outside the obvious names of Meyer, Venables, and Freeze, I don't know who would be on the radar. Art Briles should be contacted but probably won't.

There is no senior leadership like Juan and Marquez
there’s your answer. This team has no leadership and no chemistry.

UT has both a talent problem as well as as a coaching development problem and this puts the Vowels in last place, unfortunately

Pruitt can't even manage his roster of assistant coaches based on all the early turnover and the Brumbaugh mess.

Not surprising he would have trouble managing a roster of 85 players.

Urban Meyer was asked what was wrong with the Michigan team that lost 49-11 last night. "On a TV set thousands of miles away from Ann Arbor, former Ohio State coach and current Fox college football analyst Urban Meyer advised that a coach of a struggling team should assume its problems are caused by one of three phenomena: Trust issues among players, selfishness that undermines a collective effort or a dysfunctional environment that spawns entitlement instead of hard work."
