Sapp issues statement

[VolEngineer]

"Miscommunication" for me is the key word in his statement. Sounds like a miscommunication from someone to Pruitt. Time will tell, if it was a "miscommunication," I think Pruitt will own it and let it be known.

On the flip side, if it's a lie by Quarte, Pruitt will let that be known as well. Curious to see how this plays out!

Wonder it happened away from Pruitt and a coach or assistant told Pruitt something and the story got mixed up somewhere in the mess that was going on.

Pruitt was probably dressing the kid down pretty good and another coach pulled him away. I doubt Pruitt was going to get physical with the kid.

There was always a chance that Pruitt’s style would not be well recieved by this generation of kids. We are seeing some of that right now imo.

 

[VolInDayton]

It's hard to believe no one saw a incident on the sideline where someone had to be restrained. We would have heard this by now. I believe Pruitt.

Seems to work fine for Saban and Smart.

So now we can add off field drama to the mix. The hits just keep on coming.

Let’s fire that Alabama lying trash now!

We could’ve lost like this with Tee Martin

No press is bad press right? Or wait..is it bad press is better than no press? Hmm can't remember how that goes...

Tennessee coach sends player to locker room for refusing to enter game

 

[USMC-TNVOL]

Not to say Quarte is lying without all the facts, but how was that not caught by the cameras and how did no one in the crowd see anything? If he got into a confrontation with a coach or another player then i would think someone would have seen it. Im thinking that it is probably a combination of the two stories and that Quarte might have gotten into an altercation and was asked to go in just to separate the two, and he decided not to. Either by Pruitts or his own choice he went to the locker room. I would think if Pruitt had to be restrained the cameras would have caught it.

I was going to say that. I was row 1 at about the 30 yard line. I don't remember seeing anything or hearing anybody talk about it.

 

[Rooster1]

I’m with Pruitt. Butch’s players Stink

You still guaranteeing 9 wins?

 

[goooooovols]

All I can think right now is... careful what you wish for!

The Bama kids are “this generation” of kids too. They didn’t seem to mind

They showed Pruitt and johnson? at the game a few weeks ago when he yelled at him, and they showed pruitt alot last night too. I would think something would have been caught.

Hindsight is 20/20. Both programs were questioning their coaches decisins and techniques that first season. You should have heard all the ledge jumpers around here when bama lost to La Tech.

 

[peerless98]

we may never know the truth on this, but either way it doesn't look good

Surely someone would have seen a confrontation and the other individual being restrained.

Hit the bricks kid. All in or all out. Issue some statements to your momma

They pay their players enough to put up with it. Since we seem to cheap out on just about everything probably not the case here.

And there is your answer, this generation as a whole sucks at life. They can’t handle failure because they are given chance after chance in school while being constantly patted on the back. When life doesn’t work that way in the real world they pout or meltdown

There is no other program like Alabama in the country and there is no other Saban. It isn’t comparable

Pruitt coached there. Pretty sure he’s treating our players like he treated Bama players

agree ...

 

[McDad]

This is bad all around. Dirty laundry aired out in public after a miscommunication means trouble inside.

Oh no

 

[FranklinVFL]

Our football program is a cluster f&#* and is not getting any better.

That is all.

Crap.

He didn’t say Pruitt. He said someone had to be restrained. That could be any coach, player or support staff. Stick to the facts.
