100% he is not canned no matter what. Fulmer believes more time is the answer. I am sure he still thinks if he had time to right the ship we would not be where we are.
Pruitt will be here next year. Probably with JG by his side
The more coaches that are fired during this COVID season, the thinner that argument for keeping the Thumb seems.99.999% sure Pruitt will not get fired in 2020.
I was surprised when Vandy fired Mason. I know they have been bad but when you put zero money into the football program how do you expect to get good recruits?
Financially UT absolutely cannot fire any coach at the moment. UT is still paying Butch Jones and the buy out for Coach Pruitt is $13 million...the whole UT Athletic program is almost $40 million dollars in the hole from lack of ticket sales and related income. Additionally the UT Athletic Department is short of funds to do anything at the moment. I am optimistic enough to believe that Pruitt can restore the program if we will give him a couple more years. Look at how long it took Clemson to restore their program.

As bad as the money situation is, I don't think Pruitt survives going 2-8 and finishing the year losing to this Vandy team. I'd say 15% chance he'd be back.
