Pruitt was awesome in the press conference

[StoneColdStunner]

Players meeting was about 20 minutes long. I was told he was very intense and seems like a tough coach. They loved it. TIFWIW

Glad we’re through with Lyle and his northern ways.

I just shat a brick

Stunner, thanks man, you have been the man during all this

You know this team is hungry to win...I hope coach Pruitt works their azzes off so they can be real champions. :rock:

 

[508mikey]

Definitely a Champion of Life.

was hoping never to see that garbage on here again

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Ton of them in Northern Alabama

I got no prejudices against them. I married one and we live near David Lipscomb. Luckily, she's not "observant".

 

[k-town_king]

Glad we’re through with Lyle and his northern ways.

The northern stuff is stupid and has nothing to do with anything.

Glad to have a real guy as a coach instead of a phony azz nerd like Botch though.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

The chip and chili guy? Is he the booster overthrowing the Haslams?

I do like a Petro's but I've always thought that it the weirdest thing to serve to drunk football fans with limited toilet access.

 

[illinoisvolfan1]

Well, his dad should get over it. His son has just been given one hell of an opportunity.

I already like this guy a lot.

 

[fifties fan]

3/4, 4/3, spread, single wing - Coach to the strength of the players you have, not to some preset system. Seems obvious, but the guys he's replacing wouldn't do it.

 

[hexnut]

He is the real deal. Its been so long. I cant wait for the season to start.

 

[Godfatha]

I'm not a sunshine pumper by any means but this guy will be a winner. Im excited about the prospective staff. We haven't had a great staff since Kiffins year

 

[TheEndlessEnigma]

Be back later. Have to replace the walls I ran through.

 

[TNHopeful505]

1. Dude knows how to work. Not a talker, he's a doer.

2. Probably won't have a huge early signing day, and that's fine. "Focus on the ones we get, not on the ones we don't."

3. WE ARE FINALLY GOING TO RUN THE FREAKING BALL! No more of this stupid Zone Read crap. Gonna build some lines, dominate our opponent, and run the ball down their freaking throat.

4. If the reports about hiring Helton are true, then we're going to have a great passing game too. Helton can take a lot of credit for Darnold at USC. Big explosive plays, I like it.

5. I like what he said about being adaptable. That stuff happens, but people expect wins.

6. I don't think the guy cares about anything but winning. He didn't grow up a Vol fan, and we're gonna have to teach him our ways, but....the guy wants to win. And you gotta KNOW he is looking forward to that Alabama game next year.


I definitely was hoping we would go with a proven head coach. BUT....this guy is out to prove himself, and if we had to get a winner, this guy knows what it takes to win.

I'm onboard. Welcome Coach Pruitt, and GBO!

COACH, not a press conference salesman. Let's roll (no bama pun intended), lol.

Ight. Ight.

Yes sir! :hi:

That may have been my favorite part of his presser.

 

[CountVolcula]

I'm actually very positive about him

Just be real and tell it like it is

I just shat a brick

Brick by Brick

 

[vols1707]

Talk was good...

The staff he is putting together is backing up his talk!!!!

Time to work! Go coach Pruitt get it done!

 

[Freak]

He definitely didn't seem too concerned about early signing day. That said, he also said he was going to take his time hiring staff and it sounds like he's almost has the staff filled. If the names being reported all end up here, he's put together a top-tier staff in a very short period of time.

 

[rocytop2624]

His staff Will make more than him and I think he was smart and chose that because he being a first time coach . best staff we have had in a long time if all I hear is true.

 

[Exiled]

I was hesitant to buy in before the presser, but I gotta say, I'm all in now. That is how a Football Coach is supposed to sound. Not polished, not cliche ridden,but honest, excited and the more he talked the more fired up he got. And, he's putting together a hell of a staff!
