Pruitt's lawyer says he has the info to burn the whole AD down

[SaintLouisVol]

He would never coach again....

He likely will never be the HC of a college team again anyway. He may not even be hirable as a DC for a college team.

 

[VolArmy74]

The dumb thing is that he lost all leverage he was pretending to have the second he sent that letter. It's like sending a letter saying "if you don't pay my client, he's going to tell the police where all the dead bodies are hid." then making that public. Once the implication is there the police are going to investigate anyway. At this point I'm sure the NCAA will look into whatever he was already ranting about.

And this is why you pay the buyout (or negotiate down) and pay the man. We have paid players for years, across multiple sports. If Pruitt really wants to spill the beans, and has others willing to talk or has receipts, it will be like dropping a nuclear bomb on the athletic program.

You think Kiffin set us back 10 years? This will set us back 30 years in multiple sports.

Hahaha. Okay...

 

[LittleVol]

Pruitt is done...
Period.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Im no lawyer, but if this went to trial, in discovery and in a deposition, cant we ask about his time at alabama and if he cheated there? I mean if you really want the smoke, burn that down too.

It would be delightful to see Pruitt get grilled in a deposition about his time at Alabama.

They can ask questions about previous employment to question his credibility in the proceedings.

This is part of why I think this is a bunch of hot air from his mouthpiece.

Pruitt wants no part of having to defend his credibility and it could open up dirt on every school he has coached at.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Based on what exactly? Pruitt being a terrible hire, doesn't make Schiano a good hire. He's got a personality that nearly as bad as Pruitt's, and his claim to fame is a 10-year run at Rutgers in the early 2000s that mirrors Stoop's run at Kentucky, with only 2 winning Big East conference records in a decade.

In his latest stint at Rutger's, he's 6-10/3-10 . If we'd hired him, he'd most likely be exiting UT after this season with a losing record.

Personally thought the Penn St issues could be completely ignored and Schiano would still be proven as a terrible hire.

He was run out of Tampa because of his personality.

He has no real record of success unless you count riding Ray Rice to a few extra wins at Rutgers.

And if he was such a golden child, why didn't Herbstreits Buckeyes keep him around?

Lawyers from both sides are posturing in public. Gamesmanship. I think Beldar gets something not because he deserves it but more because Tennessee wants to wash his stench off once and for all.

I bet some of you Shoal Creek fellas would work out just fine. You down around Iron City? Lots of good places to take out the trash down there.

I love in the suburbs of Iron City. Short canoe ride south. We have storage space for any problems you might encounter. So to speak.

Uh no it won’t , NIL Is here , nothing to see … don’t give him a dime

To whom it may concern,

I would like to apply for the open Good Ole Boy position at your Knoxville location.

Resumé and references will be available, as soon as the statute of limitations expire.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Best regards,

Mr. Shoal C. Vol[/QUOTE

I’ve been wanting to come down there and float the creek for smallmouth. I used to get down there about once a month for work back around 2005-2008. Every time I crossed the bridge at Iron City I wanted to stop and fish.

They should not give this clown one dime. if he actually knows something damaging we take our lumps and move on. We can show he was fired for cause and if he persists with the lawsuit he will never work above a assistant high school coach again (he’s gonna find it hard to find work once the jets can hiss ass).

Well Giants and they suck just as bad

What secrets???

For the record, UT threw open the doors of the athletic department to NCAA ten months ago and coordinated their investigation with the NCAA investigation. But Gump thinks he has "double-secret probation" information to "bring down" one of the athletic departments in the SEC. All this while, college sports is transitioning a new system which will enable fan bases to throw money at players.

Go ahead Gump and give all your money to your attorney you stupid #$@&&%.

 

[Remy]

The correct and only answer becomes "then burn the mofo down."

 

[jcanvolfan]

maybe we should pay Pruitt off with a McDonald’s bag full of Monopoly money.

 

[General Jack]

He’s a little late to the party. He was only hired because the athletic department was already smoldering ashes.

 

[Plano Vol]

Bring it and let it burn! Maybe the dumb a$$ will be forced to divulge something about the other programs in his resume. Maybe he could share something about Lane at bama.

 

[jtdavis]

Just to be clear, he cheats, gets caught, is fired because of it. Result he violated the terms of his contract and doesnt have the grounds to collect his buyout. So, he screams "I will tell all the NCAA violations I know." So, he is essentially saying "I will tell on myself for more cheating that I say I didnt do." What a Goober.

Come on down. Fall colors are popping right now.

Precisely what I was thinking.

 

[volman128]

What makes us look like asses is that we used the Penn State sexual abuse situation to not hire Schiano even though there really wasn't any direct links to Schiano. The media grilled Tennessee hard for that.

Who gives a damn about what the MeDiA thinks? And Pruitt being dog sh** doesn't mean Schiano would be any better.

 

[DrTNT]

Don't hold back Pruitt.

Show the world what kind of big brain you have!

You're supposed to be a DEFENSIVE MASTERMIND so let's see how well you do defending yourself in court.

Our defense was trash the whole time he was here. Never got better.

We get an offensive mastermind to come in and what do you know, our offense improved tremendously.

Pruitt ain't a mastermind at anything.

I say don't sing it. Bring it!

Defense has improved under the new coach too…

 

[stillwater5]

Maybe I misunderstood your post. Sorry

Sorry, I was caught up in thinking Pruitt is like a petulant little child that we have all come in contact with in a pickup game where he always calls a foul on you but never on himself.
