Lets face it, if Bama goes after Pruitt, it’s means a few things:

-Dabo said no
-Kirby said no
-Bama going after Pruitt means Tennessee has had success we haven’t had in over decade. If Bama is chasing Pruitt, they would be settling with him although he would be the home grown coach, they could steal a coach from a rival, and Tennessee is winning.

If Pruitt turned down Bama, I’m stoked because he will have chosen to stay apart of a winning program.


However, that situation and Tee’s have zero comparison

So you wouldn't be disappointed in his character that he spurned his Alma mater?

This is a huge hire! Tee Martin could easily be a OC but now we get him and he can work with QBs or WRs and bring in elite talent. Tee could easily move over to OC when Chaney retires. Weinke could leave I guess he hasn’t brought in any recruits that I know of.

So which is it? He could easily be OC now or he is the OC down the road? Because there is zero proof that shows he could be a great playcaller in the SEC based on last year and with what the roster looks like.

Well he's on the team now so you sensitive Nancies can drop the grudge. I want to win. It's going to help a little. Deal with it. Welcome home, Tee. Now let's roll

My friend called me and woke me up this morning, about Tee coming home, and an interesting story going down.
Sometime Monday Fulmer and Pruitt had a meeting in the AD office. According to the story, Fulmer says, how about Tee coming to Knoxville? Pruitt tells Fulmer that he didn’t know if he would come or not, because of all of the backlash, but I’ve always wanted him here in my staff. Fulmer had told Pruitt that pffftt, I can get Tee to do whatever I ask him to do, and it isn’t going to be a problem getting him here. He goes on and says that, all of the guys I recruited looks at me like a father figure, and they are my sons that I took under my wing. So Pruitt says call him and see. Fulmer calls him and ask, and according to sources, their wasn’t any backlash from Tee to come home. It was absolutely, I’ll be there. Fulmer told him that the contract situation would be worked out, and you have no worries. Fulmer told him welcome home and let’s get to work, and Tee accepted and said yes sir, on my way.
That is the story that developed Monday of what I was told this morning.

Now, all of this negativity out here is absolutely uncalled for. Tee is still a VFL, and certainly deserves some kind of welcoming back to Knoxville. Whatever it was in the past is buried under the hatchet.
Let’s open our hearts and arms with some ❤️
WELCOME HOME TEE!

When has character ever been talked about regarding my posts? I have never said once the C word.

Also you ignored my point. Bama chasing Pruitt means Pruitt is winning.

Tennessee hiring Tee this offseason is solely on Tee’s other job offers not beating Tennessee’s in attractiveness and likely a little to be closer to his kid right across the border.

Those situations are zero alike.

I don’t have a problem with the hire if it’s a WR coaching spot.

But I also don’t have be full blown hypocrite like the people I’ve seen this AM praising the hire when they viciously attacked the guy last year when it was rumored Fulmer would talk shop with him about the HC job and even an OC job. Amazing how quickly the tune has changed on some folks. Especially considering they are cheering we hired him after being fired as opposed to hiring him coming off the Darnold years.

Atleast be consistent.

That’s fair. But showing up is USC gear and trashing Hurd for signing with Tennessee on National TV is pretty weak and petty. Both of those are more public than whatever the offer was by Butch

He didn't trash Hurd on national tv. He was caught on a hot mic. You are twisting what happened to fit your agenda.

He talked sh!t about our recruit because USC lost out on them. The fact you can try to justify it just shows what a hypocritical agenda you have. It truly is amazing.

I guess you are one of those people who don’t think trees that fall didn’t really fall in a forest if no one was around to see it.

The recruit situation to me is not about it being our recruit. It's about trashing any high school athlete over being butt hurt. It was an unfortunate situation that lacked maturity but hopefully he has learned from that.

It will have to be an early retirement for Chaney if Tee is still around to replace him.
