Pruitt Speaks to SARK and CANADA

I'm 95% sure that Pruitt does not have anyone from off the current staff that he is comfortable enough with to hire.

Where is is that you believe Pruitt developed these 'mad hiring skills'? Did Saban reach them to him at Alabama? Richt? Jimbo?

Notice how fast he had his staff hired last year. Part of what got him the job. I think he revisited on why he selected Helton and wants to get it right this time...fast be damned!

Yep, having faith that Tennessee is handling a coaching hire correctly is about like having faith in a mobster that tell you to get in the trunk, but dont worry he isnt going to kill you.

Common denominator is the choice you have in the matter.

You are delusional. Kiffin hasn't proved anything. Did you see what FAU did after Briles left? They went from 11-3 to 5-7. Kiffin's O wasn't that great at USC either. Lots of OCs will look ELITE at Bama when they are calling plays for a stacked team with 10 stud 4-5 star OLs!!!

I just know that CJP and those who actually are involved in the process know a whole hell of a lot more than I DO!!!

CJP has proven he can coach DEFENSE at the highest level.
He led us to beat 2 ranked teams this year with absolutely crap for talent...one of them a SEC West opponent on the ROAD which hasn't happened here in at least 5 years...and before you say it---MIZZOU and VANDY had WAY better talent than we did....

And HE appears to be killing it on the recruiting trail this year after a 5-7 season....

I'm not trying to be a smartazz or anything---but you're asking the WRONG QUESTION....

Just what makes 95% of the &*^%$(*& on this board think that they know more than CJP does about hiring an OC???

That's the question that needs to be asked.

Just because a message board exists doesn't mean that folks should open their mouths and expose just how ignorant they really are!
And I seem to be one of the very few who will be honest enough to confess that I don't have a clue how it works to hire an OC....

Hiring a local janitor or a high school kid to work at McDonalds doesn't qualify one to know how the process works in the SEC...

Fulmer and his inflated ego would stand in the way of that move. I think many UT fans would love it. I agree he's one of the best

Diaz fired the entire Miami offensive staff then said he would have his complete new staff in place by January 10, 2019. Diaz evidently uses a different hiring procedure than Pruitt.

So, how does being a good defensive coordinator, translate to automatically being effective at interviewing and evaluating potential employees?

Or are you of the mindset that once hired as the head coach at UT, these personnel management skills just manifested themselves in Pruitt like the holy spirit?

Then "top-notch coordinator" should go get a head coach job because that's what head coaches do.

Correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't he a coordinator for the past several years before being named interim head coach at Maryland? Didn't they hire someone else besides him? Top notch coordinators get coordinator jobs because that's what they do.

The poster is right. CJP is a million times more qualified to make a hire than anyone on this board. He also has an AD that should help him make a great hire. If he knows football and X's and O's as good as most think, which I think he does as well. You don't have to be a CEO for Amazon to know what you are looking for in a great OC. You just challenge him in a mind game of X's and O's to see how quickly he can make changes on the fly and how far he thinks ahead of the D scheme similar to a chess player looking several moves ahead across the whole board.

he didn't get an offer. I'm sure if Canada didn't want to put up with hi-jinks, he would not waste time interviewing.

It doesn't hurt to listen number one, and number 2 it does help his brand to be sought after or wanted. Hey look team X, team Y wants me really bad. If he wanted the job he would have taken it. 6 weeks into the search, pruitt is starting to look desperate the longer he goes without hiring someone.

Remember Mike gundy? He was really interested until he got a raise. It's almost like he used us to get more money, is it possible that's what Canada did? SMH

People act like coaches are falling all over themselves to come coach here. To say Oh he didn't take the job because we didn't offer it. Really? Just like it's easier to lie to someone then to convince them they have been lie to. It's easier to say we didn't offer to think someone turned UT down.

@MikeVol44 admitted that he had no concept of how an OC hiring process is conducted in the SEC. Given his admitted level of ignorance concerning the very nature of the topic, how is he even remotely qualified to state whether or not Pruitt is or isn't effective or capable of properly executing such a process?
