Pruitt "obviously" in trouble

i don’t know anything so I guess you can call me NostraDumbass.

GO VOLS

Brother?

Tennessee is easily a Top 10 job with the reliable resources to win.

The problem is, the administration won’t spend the money to get a proven winner.

The reason you just stated is what makes it NOT a top 10 job anymore...

 

[wrangler]

And my response is that extension decision means nothing if we fire Pruitt for cause.

Not arguing against your point, it's just got nothing to do with my post that you responded to. The decision was made by Fulmer, and reflects on his judgment.

 

[vmivol00]

It still means Fulmer has poor judgement and can’t possibly match wits with Sexton.

Tennessee is a Top 10 job.

No. Probably in the 12-15 range

 

[cgrish]

Then why do we have CJP? Why did we have the most embarrassing coaching search in modern college football history previously? And...... most of all...... why are we currently ranked about #90?

I get the "rah rah" idea but seriously...... why are we here AGAIN if this is a top 10 job?

Because we have not been willing to act in a timely manner. We could have had Mullens, but we were too slow to act. And we don't know what money was offered for others. Anytime you are after a successful coach who is currently coaching you should know the other school will offer a raise and be prepared for it, if not, never any need to go after an active successful coach in the p5. You have to give them a considerable raise for them to leave their current school.

Yeah.
6 or 7 in the conference

 

[peerless98]

He’d be faking a heat attack by year 3

We would likely be in the playoffs by then.

I wonder, when was the last time Manning was there and saw us win?

Probably not that long ago. We had a pretty good run at the end of last season and beginning of this. 8 games in a row in fact.

 

[Boston Vol]

Yeah.
6 or 7 in the conference

Bama, UF, UGA, and LSU are pretty clearly the top four jobs. Then TN, Aub, and A&M make up the next group. I honestly would put TN ahead of the other two, but there isn’t much separating them.

 

[allvol123]

As does every useful player in this league.

Tennessee is a Top 10 job.

In no particular order....

Clemson
Notre Dame
Oklahoma
Texas
USC
Ohio State
Penn State
Texas A&M
LSU
Auburn
Georgia
Florida
Alabama
Oregon

Arguments can also be made for
Florida State
Miami
Michigan
Washington

 

[Spawn]

Lack of institutional control. Fire Pruitt for cause and move on from the Sh*t show. Have someone with a brain write the next contract and have Fulmer be a fat trophy wife as AD but nothing else.

Any order
Campbell
Chadwell
Gus
Freeze

Again...Have someone do the contract stuff and just let Fulmer be a figure head only

Clemson

Eh, I’d completely disagree with Oregon. I also think people are overrating the Clemson job. Dabo has had an amazing run, but I don’t think it’s truly one of the premier jobs in the country.

Oregon because of NIKE money and the PAC-12 competition.

Clemson has always had this capability, just never done it. The other factor is the lack of competition. I mean who does Clemson have to beat every year. FSU and Miami. And if those two are down, not even them.

If I was a coach, the Clemson job is easily more attractive.

Tennessee is smack dab in the middle of that list. In no particular order, of course.

There are two parts to rating college coaching jobs. Potential, and actual benefits.

In potential, Tennessee fits right in with the best. In actual benefits (pay, control, independence, etc.), it varies from year to year and hire to hire. Volunteers can be right at the top in all of that, if our administration makes the choice to be. But the important thing is, it changes frequently.

So, what's left is potential. And we're right in that mix. Thanks for leaving us off the list, though, alligator. One would think you're not a Tennessee fan or something.

GTFO! You hurt my feelings!
Have to say you’re probably right. We’re hanging on to somewhere between 15 and 20ish....dropping fast.

I didn't read anything you said because your avatar kept pulling my eyes to the left. Damn.

Hahaha! You’re a better man for it. It was probably just drivel anyway, so you’re good!

Why not go ahead and list Auburn 3x?

A lot of these are the same job. Capability with the right person.

There's no resource difference between USC, Clemson, Oklahoma, Penn State, LSU, Auburn, Oregon, FSU, Miami, Michigan, or Tennessee. I believe Tennessee ranks higher than all of those programs in income some years.

They're all loaded and have the brand and $$$ and some have the history to do great things with the right person. I'd argue the difference is pretty coach specific - with various weights applied based on recruiting ties, regional talent, weather, relationship with AD, etc.

ND, Texas, Florida, and Alabama would probably be what I consider the 4 best jobs in the country if I threw fanhood aside and only considered objective variable$.

 

[Nationdom]

Because some delusional posters think Tennessee is the best job in college football. In reality, it’s barely top 20

It's a top 10 job

You're forgetting the other aspect of this, which is the hurdles one most overcome out of the gate.

The main thing that makes the Tennessee job unattractive compared to the others is that while I am trying to build a program, I have to deal with Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. And those other programs.....like an Oregon.....don't have to deal with that.

A new coach would rather take a path of least resistance if money and other factors are similar.
