Dude would still leave for Bama in an instant if the AD called after Saban retired

I don’t think that’s a given, I don’t honk it would depend on the timing. He strikes me as a different kind of cat. I think sweat equity means something to him.

No. CJP recognizes the opportunity he has at Tennessee, will bring us back, and his success and tenure here will rival CPF's.

Does it really matter right now? And you nor anyone else "knows", he probably don't even know right now.

I still think its too early to claim Pruitt is " The Coach" or "All Vol" or any of that kind of stuff, but I know its too early to be discussing him leaving to go to Alabama when Nick retires.

I’m a Pruitt man . We didn’t win as far as the score but we took the number 1 team and made them earn this win.. there wasn’t going to be a 45 or 55 point game not today son.

Tua was hurt and left the game. If not for that 'Bama would have added 2 more touchdowns.

Listening to post game show, liked what he had to say about when we got close to the goal line the flags started flying, why did they not come out in the middle of the field? I like him

I think he said something to the effect they always get the calls. Loved it.

It’s true. Refs were protecting the SEC playoff appearance now that Georgia lost a game. Ohio State, Oklahoma, Clemson are pretty much in. Penn State is a wildcard too

Also said we have 63 healthy players right now and 73 total next year we will have 86 and he looks forward to playing Bama with a full roster. I like it, he is pissed

Can someone point me in the direction of that post game show or post a link? I'd like to listen to it. Thanks

Could you imagine the scene if that game has been played at Neyland last night? We had a fiery coach and competitive team in the field getting hosed by the SEC. There might have been a riot.

Juan Jennings scores on the wildcat and the refs took that TD. We stop them 3 and out and they throw a personal foul on Taylor for getting up which led them to a TD for them. We fumble on 4th down at half yd line and they return it for a TD. Those total a 28 Pt Swing all in there favor! We are not that far away! Pruitt and staff are getting us there!

Seems like that was the best game plan we have had all season. Some notable players or player seemed to have trouble carrying it out but I think we were about as ready as we are capable of being at this point.

I have been, and still am, hesitant on believing in Pruitt as the coach. Not sure he will be the answer or not, but slowly beginning to buy in. I see the improvement, especially on defense, and the toughness he wants the team to play with. I also see his players and a few of Butch’s recruits starting to show that mentality.

That being said, there was a moment tonight... maybe the halftime “complaint” about play calling... maybe the way he reacted to Jordan’s run... not sure when... but I almost physically saw Pruitt’s blood change from Alabama red to Tennessee orange during the game.

I feel better about the Vols after last night's game. That includes coaches as nf players. Great effort all around.

We need to be vocal and let the administration know we are happy with our staff and keep about everyone because this team will rock with a QB and experience. I love Pruitt

Let's remove our lips from his ass until we see what he does the rest of the year. I do see some positives. I'm not ready to Crown Him King and savior yet though. What happens if he loses to Vanderbilt? What if he loses three of the next four? Tennessee fans are the worse for going into full worship mode way to soon.

If a good old fashion A** Whoooping from BAMA is all that was needed to turn Pruitt into a winning coach, hell, we should have played BAMA the first game of the season! GS wouldn't have stood a chance after we got beat by BAMA, it's this scheduling thing, TSIO, is what killed us. Now, so far as the unis go, I blame Pruitt for the poor choice, as so many have pointed out, the right color/color combo etc. make the winning difference!

What coach in the US wouldn't? And he kinda has ties there. That being said I don't have him pegged as the type to want another's shadow or buy in for easymode. I think the longer he stays the less likely that is. Today it's probably true end of next season less likely
