Pruitt keeps his job if...

[willinhf]

Next year baby, next year....

Yep. It is the UT way.

The Tennessee Dumpster Fire. Knoxville Tennessee is home to the world’s longest running dumpster fire.

Tennessee gets out in front of nothing.

That’s fine by me.
Boyd should do it and let Fulmer publicly give his blessing

Fulmer should leave with his boy Pruitt.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

I think we should hire VFL Charles Davis as AD

The only thing UT would get in front of is a train.

The university is relying on reserve funds just to survive the $65 million budget shortfall due to the pandemic. Pruitt isn’t getting fired this year.

That would be an excellent hire.

This admin has been on the clock since Fulmer quit. They continually wet the bed contract after contract. My faith in them hiring a competent HC is at 10%.

Good thing the university wouldn't be handling the buyouts then

That high huh?.....

He has publicly said he’s interested even with a pay cut. He LOVES UT.

 

[DaddyChad]

The first salvo comes from Columbia.

Boyd needs to go to our big money people and ask if they will pay the buyouts for a big name.
If they say yes, he gives Fulmer a list and says that Phil can contact their agents or he will.

It’s a hard sell right now. Even big money has been hurt this year. I doubt Fulmer gets to make another hire honestly but I’ve been surprised in the past.

How is it possible our fanbase can retain these high expectations for decisive action, home-run hires, and a commitment to winning???

There has literally been no evidence at all (except JM...who was only considered because of his UT roots) this University is willing to hire a proven coach. We don't even hire innovators.

Yall who remain hopeful need to wake up and face reality.

They did go out and hire Kiffin. That was a pretty out of the box hire for UT. It’s been pretty dismal since....sigh.

you just gave me a sad
Though you are probably correct.

Can you say he was "proven" as a HC?

He’s failed upwards more than any other coach IMO. I was just saying it was an out of the norm hire especially for UT.

 

[onevol74]

We are Vandy with facilities.

I agree. It was uncharacteristic. I don't think he was a proven HC at the time UT hired him. And unfortunately, because of his sudden departure the decision makers are probably using LK as proof UT should never think out of the box again.

 

[ETV]

There’s no clock this year. We don’t have the money or desire right now to hire a proven winner.

How did SC afford to release WM, with a higher buyout than Pruitt?

Has UT fallen to the point of looking up to Vandy, KY and SC?

Sadly you’re likely correct.

You think South Carolina doesn’t have budget issues?

 

[McDad]

Sadly you’re likely correct.

I wish I wasn't in this case.

They’ll have to be sick and tired of being sick and tired. Once apathy hits this fan base it’s truly over. Hopefully they make a move soon.

 

[madbamahater]

Fulmer was beneficial in Randy Boyd getting his gig. We're pretty much trapped
