Pruitt Fired for Cause. No buyout. Fulmer retiring.

[SpaceCoastVol]

I was hoping it would hold until Urban Meyer failed at Jax then we coulda got him.

 

[ETV]

Maybe we can cover Neyland and fill it for hoops

Black curtains for the upper deck.

 

[MyVolsDropped]

I'm so happy!!!

And a big LOLOLOLOLLLLLLLLLL to all the people who had the decency to start threads that they "knew" he would be our coach for 2021.

Finally some light in this dark tunnel.

GO VOLS!!!

 

[lexkyvol]

well.....all the pruitt and fulmer haters got what they wanted. better hope we get better and they can move super quickly because this is a real live mess right now

 

[Border Vol]

Losing Neids hurts on the recruiting front but if he's been cheating then it was just a matter of time

Tee sucks anyway no big loss.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

Told you guys in December. We will probably end up paying a couple million after Pruitt contests this decision but regardless we are off the hook on the entire contract.

And here is, out of hibernation to provide us with “insights”. Go back to your hole—or golf course—we don’t need your crap.

In wad hoping it woyld hold until Urban Meyer failed at Jax them we coulda got him.

Sarcasm or drinking early?

 

[SmokeyDog1973]

Hallelujah!!!!!

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

Oh good. Now we’ll fart around for weeks hiring an AD then weeks more to find a coach.
So Steele will be interim HC while this clusterf**k plays our.

 

[lukeneyland]

LMAO! We are probably about to be put on probation. We are not going to hire a coach who was responsible of getting his previous school on probation.

We should I’d take probation rather than getting beat every damned week

 

[ButchPlz]

Frankly anyone happy about this shaking out this way should be worried. If they fired Pruitt WITH CAUSE we are likely boned with violations.

 

[GoVols64]

I wonder if they negotiated some compensation for his trip to Cali and to retain players..... very crazy times and, well, just wow....

 

[Sin City Vol]

I was hoping it would hold until Urban Meyer failed at Jax then we coulda got him.

He'll replace Saban at Alabama when he retires in 3 years and UM has failed with the Jags.

While I thought it was time for Pruitt to leave, I didn't think they would pull the trigger this year. I guess the question I have: If he had a winning season, would TN have made an issue of infractions or turned their heads. If the answer is, they would have turned their heads....I take issue with that. But at the end of the day, it's a business.....

 

[GOVOLS 1]

Eat **** IAN

HELL NO!!!

 

[orangerush]

Can’t even cheat and win, pathetic.

We would be effed if he were the head football coach this coming season.

Jeremy Pruitt fired: Tennessee football begins another coaching search (knoxnews.com)

The must have found some really bad stuff in the investigation. I hope we don't get hammered.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Be careful what you wish for.....you might just get it....JP is history....who is the future?

I was not shocked that Pruitt is being let go WITH BUYOUT MITIGATED, but with the timing and Fulmer also stepping down, unless they have an AD on a string who has a double secret big time coach on the hook, I FEAR they have been putting together the dreaded emergency interim plan. Don't know if that is why they brought in alumni Steele for sure, but he is probably in plan B.1. The timing of the whole investigation was just worst case and this confirms why no announcements from AD on Pruitt. I would find it hard to believe many of the coaches that have been on the board are in play. Maybe with the big buyout gone they won't need the money guys to chip in. There is a big chance the only executable plans will be less than thrilling to a large majority of our fanbase. That is the reason I have been saying CPF was trying get to the next cycle. He did not want to have to pick from a bad field like last time, so he will defer to the next guy. Maybe we get lucky. Due some.

 

[SalVolinus]

Wow. Hope the "for cause" doesn't come back to bite us in the future. CFB is a dirty business

Can they strip us of memories?

He will win a Super Bowl in Jax

 

[golfballs]

I thought you had all the answers

I do. This is me testing you

 

[oheron16]

Amazing but not too shocking news! there will be some celebrating . . . .

 

[Jaws]

I'd take back Kiffin in a heartbeat, or get Malzan, Freeze is too risky

All three would be good gets in my opinion.

 

[ButchPlz]

We would be effed if he were the head football coach this coming season.

No doubt. But that's another discussion, and I would have preferred him fired for sucking at being a coach.

Instead, we have coaches fired for cause due to infractions, and an AD that has "retired" with years left on his contract. That doesn't make you worried in the slightest? That sounds like some bad sh*t to me.
