SDS: Pruitt is coaching for his job this weekend

[VOL_Lyfe]

Extra Points: There’s no saving Jeremy Pruitt if Vols fall (again) to Vandy


“That loss isn’t survivable,” the source said. “Even (Tennessee AD) Phillip (Fulmer) can’t protect him at that point.”

Yeah, i get that impression too.
Dude is getting fired this weekend I think....

If your job is on the line playing an 0-8 team, you're already a dead man walking.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Blast me if you want but I’m hoping Vandy beats us, for the sake of this program’s future.

 

[VolArmy74]

No coach should ever save his job here by beating Vandy. It's ridiculous.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

so, this means we will see lots of JG because he's the best chance to win, right?

 

[zeppelin128]

He's on his way out regardless. Only question is when it happens. It ain't just that the wheels have fallen off the wagon; the wagon is already off the cliff.

If your coach is relying on a win against an 0-8 Vandy team to keep his job the AD needs that hired him needs to go.

I believe we win on Saturday.

That said, if we have hit the point where beating a team:

1. Barely able to dress 35-40 guys;
2. Who started with lower tier talent anyway;
3. Does not have a head coach;

"saves" your job, then I'm just about done with Tennessee Football for awhile.

Beating Vandy should not keep his job, any more than losing to Vandy be what it takes to fire him.
Vandy should not be the measuring stick for any football coach at UT.

Just can't do it.
I am not smart enough to predict the future and I am pulling for the Vols.
The rest will take care of itself.

Phil doesn't need to protect him this year, he's already put him under the protection of 126,000 Benjamin Franklins.

If Tennessee wins against a winless, depleted, coachless team, Jeremy Pruitt will treat it like Florida '98.

Everything you said is very true,but it's not at Neyland.

If Pruitt’s job is on the line then I would have to believe Fulmer’s is as well. You don’t provide a raise and contract extension (guaranteed money) mere months before firing someone and expect to survive.

That said, as bad as Tennessee is; I can’t imagine losing to this Vanderbilt team.

 

[Pacer92]

I think I’d prefer to start all over with some hope, than remain in this cesspool without any...

 

[Boston Vol]

Go Vandy!

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Another thing, I guess we will find out how much of a "players coach" Pruitt is this weekend? Would almost have to try to lose this weekend.

I feel like if UTAD even has to ask the question then they should already know the answer. IF beating Vandy saves the guy's job, it's a job he shouldn't have in the first place.

 

[VolInNW]

Dang it, you're correct. That's what living on the opposite coast and having your GAF meter down near zero will get you.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

He should already be fired. Beating a half strength, worst in the conference Vandy team is no accomplishment. Only way we can lose is player (Vols) mutiny and either opt out en masse or just stand there and watch Vandy limp into the endzones a few times.

If Pruitt’s job is on the line then I would have to believe Fulmer’s is as well. You don’t provide a raise and contract extension (guaranteed money) mere months before firing someone and expect to survive.

If I made a 8.4 million dollar blunder at work, I would expect to be fired.

 

[orange parmejohn]

What and absolute total complete D*** joke.

 

[DownNDirty]

If that's the litmus for being the coach at the University of Tennessee just fill in Neyland Stadium and make it a flower garden. I said in another post and he could win 86-0 and it means absolutely NOTHING. Good lord - beating one of the worst teams in CFB the way it was - and now factor in they have only 40 warm bodies and have even lost their best players off of the already bad team - what does it prove to beat them? That Tennessee could flex on a local high school team? Yippee.

I hope that we hate crime Vandy to a pulp. And that Pruitt gets his walking papers 5 seconds before the post game conference.
