Pruitt:"I will go to dadgum China for him if he's a player"

Most of the quotes were him answering a question from another coach and media decided to report it. Not totally sure what your point is? You want a ban on him from speaking until September?

I dont think its the qoutes, but rather the gushing over them on message boards. Gush all you want but be prepared for varying opinions.

I hope he doesn’t get too exhausted. This job will age you ten years after just one season.

Don't know too many real Vol fans who have been happy with the team for quite some time. Maybe you're the exception. If so, then more power to you.

As for finding a new team...anyone who knows me would laugh themselves silly at that suggestion.

I'm not unhappy with THIS team. I was unhappy with the last one. This is a different team with different coaches. They have given me no reason to dislike them.

CJP is young and hungry, and he will do whatever it takes to win recruiting battles with Alabama, Georgia and Florida.

That's nice and all, but he lost the recruiting battle this year by a huge margin. Even had recruits making fun of the crap job he was doing by throwing rock hard pizza against the wall on social media.

That's as bad as trying to feed you players your wife's nasty chip dip.

That's cool for both you and VFB.

How does anyone opinion impact anothers?
.



1. I didn't say anything about anyone's opinion impacting others?.

Just dont get why folks cry so much about other peoples opinion.

I dont think its the qoutes, but rather the gushing over them on message boards. Gush all you want but be prepared for varying opinions.

You literally stated that you have a problem with people's "gushing" opinions while accusing others of being guilty of having a problem with varying opinions!!!

My gawd I hope your waders are tall enough for your own bs.

I hope you're right, but Pruitt has proven ZERO as a head coach to this point. ZERO. I will get excited when I see real results and not before. How many times do we have to go through this and we still get excited over hype and promises? Not me.

Having endured so many disappointing seasons, gonna go with cautious optimism. Underestimating team 122 could be a mistake that works in our favor.

I don't want to single anyone out, because everyone has a right to their opinion. But if you go back to the beginning of this thread, you will see comments that make it sound as if this is somehow different than what we've seen before. You'll see people praising Pruitt and the coaching staff for making improvements. You see a lot of that here these days.

I'm just saying that I will not buy into meaningless hype and feel good stories that don't really mean anything. I will wait to see the product on the field. And that will tell me whether or not there is any reason for optimism.

That's all.

I understand what you're saying and I hope you're right. I know that no matter what, I will be excited and hopeful the week of the first game.

Right now, all of the optimism I see seems to be based on things that are just a little too familiar.

And I told you that was cool.
I'm responding to vfb saying it's me who has a problem with other people's opinions. After admitting he's only here because he can't tolerate other people's gushing opinions.


But to your point, there is no football right now. All we're going to get is coach speak. If some get excited about it and some don't, both is fine with me. My original comment to you was that I believe Pruitt can develop the recruits better than Butch. Recruits was the original topic.

Unless you think Tennessee is going 14-0 next year! Then you’re fully welcome to post!

It was sarcasm VFB and VFNB.

Hexnuts post seemed to say what I posted.

Anyway, this whole conversation is halrious, Lotta hypocrisy.

Even if I accept the way you have completely misinterpreted and construed this discussion into something not even remotely within the actual discussion, I still envy your life if that's the biggest pile of BS you've ever read. You're quite lucky.

I dont have a problem, gush all you want. Just dont cry about opinions that dont align with your. Im not the guy that is telling someone they are confused, miserable, need to find another team etc. Weird how you left that out of your little outline here.

Oh somebody's definitely crying.

I said I think Pruitt can develop talent better than Jones and that's gushing to you.

Oh, and it's not weird that I left those things out. I showed the interaction between you and I. And it wasn't me who said those things to you. But I'm starting to think the guy has a point about you being confused.

I'm kidding, I don't think you're confused, I think you're straight up full of s***.

Yeah bill, I misconstrued the conversation by using our actual quotes. Tricky people always doing stuff like that.

No, you literally didn't comprehend the quotes. All that was said was don't get upset over varying opinions.

I believe the title of this thread. Pruitt seems like a good hire; however, it also seems like a good time to be optimistic, realistic, and objective.

Does our current roster effectively consist of this one (lots of TN and geographically close hometowns on this roster)...

2018 University of Tennessee Football Roster

plus the commits on the home page?

Tennessee Vols Football, Vols Basketball, and Lady Vols

Regardless, what are top priorities remaining position wise (from China or elsewhere)? Don't mean to sidetrack the thread.

1. I didn't say anything about anyone's opinion impacting others? In short, as usual, I have no idea what the hell you're talking about.

2. I was discussing our potential to do well. It's literally like English confuses you.

May be time to get out of Bama for a while.


Here is the qoute of you saying it. You going to keep acting like you didnt. Lol, hilarious stuff.
