He coached 35 games, he went 16-19
He lost 13 games by 20 or more points
That’s 37%......he freakin lost 37% of all games he coached by 20 points or more.
He lost 16 games by double digits......46% of the total games he coached.
He lost as many games by double digits as games he won.......that includes 5 wins he had vs non power teams.
Doofy was garbage......but at least sometimes his teams were fun to watch.
Butch was also garbage.....but at least he “could” win with the right players.
Pruitt is the flaming garbage gift that keeps on giving........brought Tennessee to new lows......who even thought that was possible? All while paying players......and then probably getting Tennessee into trouble.
Pruitt’s own momma should smack him in the face!
How the heck did you get 77k likes? I'll ask this question again GENIUS you coached where or only arm chair. SMUCK comes to mind. Yeah his 2nd year pulled 8 wins.... OH those were given to him (Rolls eyes)couldn't have been coaching. CJP has forgotten more football than you'll ever know. Explain a simple dime package or a nickle defense? Can you? 2 coverage, deep 3, or a shallow 4? Know what you're talking about sir. When CJH doesn't exceed fans expectations how will they react. HEADHUNT! and we will be known as a university that NO ONE WANTS TO COACH, You're the problem not the cure.
So unless you are a materials engineer who knows the specific reasons certain alloys are used in various car parts... you cannot tell how well a car handles? You cannot tell that there is something wrong with the frame or suspension? It doesn't take a ton of detailed expertise to tell that CJP was not an effective HC OR that his great football knowledge rendered a LOT of terrible decisions including the insanity of continuing to play JG.How the heck did you get 77k likes?

So you think setting a low bar and patting a well paid HC on the back for losing to mediocre to bad teams is the "cure"? Not to burst your bubble but keeping Jones those two extra years has made it HARDER, not easier, to hire a coach. Great coaches expect to have high standards and expectations. Their egos can tolerate a lot more than you seem to think.... as long as the money is right.When CJH doesn't exceed fans expectations how will they react.

Is that you Cornbread?Infractions
3-7 Final Year
But then I look at the expectations after the 8 win 2019 season, and then he dealt with more covid cases than any school in the east, and have to ask... if we had a healthy team in 2020 what would the record have been? The infractions and cause was enough to fire him and I'm not an apologist by any means but say we won 7-8 games in 20 would the fans have jumped his back as they did? Apples and oranges but personally I liked CJP and as a former college player would have loved to have played for him but that's me. But the amount of hate the fans had for him amazed me. The man gave us an 8-5 season and the first 2 losses were hard to swallow that year but he righted the ship. If we would have won those two game.... 10-3. But yeah he couldn't coach say you.
I know my opinion will not be popular and I hope CJH will right the ship but it amazes me how this fan base went from lauding him to hating him. COVID19 killed his team. On another note the man didn't forget how to coach and for the arm chairs here that never played or coached CFB, why judge him the way you do.
I like CJH and hope he turns things around but I ask myself how long will this fan base give him before they turn their back on him the way they did Pruitt?
Funny, fan base LOVED him in 2019 but in 2020, hated his guts. Personally I think our fan base is our worse enemy........... FLAME AWAY!
On a side note, these kids these days are coddled and they can't take hard coaching and sulk when they are called out. Can't count the times I calmed my son down when he played CFB. When a coach coaches you hard he see's promise and demands the best from you. If you don't get coached up that means they don't care because you don't have it. Good grief, my DC didn't seem to know a name other than mine but I played every game.
