Why Phillip Fulmer got banned from UT Vols football practice for coaching linemen

That’s my coach

 

[shoney]

White board, Helton and Richmond all had sideline skirmishes with Pruitt. Make of it what you will.

Helton was not coming back this year no matter what IMO. Pruitt sized him up and did'nt like what he saw, time for both to move on.

 

[therickbol]

I remember that podcast and remember thinking that people were blowing what they said out of proportion. If I'm not mistaken, they used the word "wonder" when having that discussion, as in they "wondered" if some other coaches weren't reaching out to Helton and getting bad feedback. It seemed very speculative when I heard it.

Next day, the narrative on VQ from posters was that Pruitt was unreasonably mean to coaches and wouldn't be able to hire a reputable OC. It blew up from there.

Exxxxxxactly.....simple

FWIW Ainge said this morning Tee was on the road recruiting and Kelly had taken off the road. I think we have a better problem than Bama right now by having too many coaches. Nice change!

Basketball is more subjective. Mostly on strategy. I played through college and coached for a while. There are a lot of takes Bruin has that are more in line with how I see basketball as a whole. That’s all.

Haha I was making a joke about the 3 week discussion on whether we had a true 5 last year.

JMO but I'd be excited about him as well if I was Bama. He clearly is a heck of a recruiter and I'd argue he's a good coach that simply the magnitude of this job overwhelmed him. Obviously he woudnt succeed as a head coach there but IF Saban is slipping I'd prefer Jones leave as well because I see him as being a good position coach for him

I agree with this take to an extent

 

[shoney]

Man it's snowing like crazy here in Grainger County, biggest flakes i've ever seen.

 

[wrangler]

Well Weinke appears to be under @Atlanta VOL cloak of protection...so Fair?

And I thought I had enough blue pixels to get me through the week. . .

Obviously need to stock up.

 

[ryvol]

I probably agree here. But even though he was good with special teams that could've been just because they used half their practice time on special teams, which is unusual, and not just 1 or 2 periods.

I thought I had read somewhere that he had spent a lot of extra time on special teams. I think he did well with special teams, but if you can't do it without taking a lot of time away from other periods, maybe you're not that good at teaching it. I don't see Saban giving up a lot of practice time from defense or offense to work more on special teams.

I have it on good authority the NCAA is sniffing around and ready to bring the banhammer forth for destruction.

Fulmer is gonna get the NCAA to knock Bama to the ground again isn't he

 

[govols24]

Mark Emmert and Nick Saban are good friends. I don’t see any action being taken as long as Emmert is running the NCAA.

But I thought Pruitt was a tyrant who nobody wanted to work for?

You know Pruitt is making Tennessee a desirable destination again when safety coaches are turning down Power 5 D-Coordinator positions to stay on staff.

 

[Nashvegas31]

Just like a week ago we were thinking nobody wants to come here and now we are wondering who we can talk into leaving lol

Yeah that's what I was getting at.

Just think, Maryland is so bad that even Butch did not want to go there.
