I did see this happen during the game. Fulmer needs to address this issue w Pruitt. You just can't do this in today's day and age. Add this to the prior facemask grab, and there seems to be an anger issue that's gotta be nipped in the bud.
This has nothing to do with coaches or players being ’soft’ or some hack’s media bias. It’s just something you can’t do in 2019. The Woody Hayes era is long gone. Fisher just took some heat over a recent facemask grab.
I suspect Fulmer will have a meeting with Pruitt very soon. UT doesn’t need negative press while the program is rising. Pruitt got a soft pass on the first incident. Now, the media smells blood in the water. It’s best to squash this now so it never happens again.
I suspect that if you were to go back and watch games where Fulmer was coach he did much the same or worse. Most people with a little sense have no problem with this.
Call me crazy, but like...just don’t grab people and invade their personal space? What other profession is that okay? None.
Barnes gets on his guys all the time without touching them or getting into them physically. I don’t think Pruitt deserves to be punished but I think maybe it would be productive for him to be told to take 10% off.
So ? , it is all about personal style. Successful coaches have used tough coaching all the time which has included some physical contact at times. Let the players file complaints if they feel harmed. The rest of us should stay out of it.Call me crazy, but like...just don’t grab people and invade their personal space? What other profession is that okay? None.

Hayes will have to give his seat up at the main table when Pruitt makes it to football heaven.When Pruitt is shown the door at least his firing will be with cause.
You people don't seem to get it. This will escalate because people with anger issues tend to go to the next level esp when like minded knuckle draggers condone it.
Someone tried to compare Pruitt to Hayes concerning rd two of cjp hands on coaching. Pruitt can't hold Hayes jock strap as far as coaching and Hayes was fired because he went next level with his anger.
