The most underwhelming hire of 2017

[zydane47]

He's worked with Saban 4 non consecutive years. Coincidentally, no natiobal championship in those 4 years.

You do realize he won one as DC at FSU right?

Out of ALL the coaches in the world... we had to hire a Bammer.

I'm out. UT is too stupid to deserve my loyalties OR my money.

 

[OakRidgeVol]

Some of you are ridiculous. You were never getting Gruden. Get over it.

For some people here, the biggest negative with every coach mentioned is that they simply aren’t Jon Gruden. It’s all about the brag. Some wanted to go work next day with their chest puffed out talking about JON GRUDEN AT TENNESSEE! I’m not sure anyone will puff their chest about Pruitt, but when he’s winning those people will get on board.

I see other schools getting proven winner with national championship winning coach, Dan Mullen, undefeated UCF coach, etc. And we're getting another Saban's puppet? Anybody can look good under Saban's supervision and stacked 5* two deep. FML, RIP Tennessee football 1891-2017

Kirby Smart and Georgia would disagree with you.

 

[andywilson001]

Very underwhelming... but better than Schiano I guess. At least he’s not a pedophile. That’s always something you want in a coach.

 

[Roustabout]

Good lord, OP, get over it.

Support the new coach.

How is the last team that "got a Saban puppet" doing?

Asking for a friend.

Awful. Lost game to oldest conference rival. Won weakest division in football. 3rd best in the group of teams they matched up against. Got stuck with fired predecessor's Offensive Coordinator.

Still use a fullback.

 

[LHCVOLS]

Solid hire, think he's gonna be a good 'un. I like that he's from the South, can coach, develop players and can recruit.

Go to bed pearl clutcher, it will be ok.

 

[djohnnyg]

Lets see. Was Kirby Smart a "proven head coach"? Where is he now? Oh yeah....that's right...the BCS playoffs. Hmmm. 3 of the 4 coaches in the BCS are guys who were not "proven" head coaches..in fact they weren't head coaches at all...EVER.

Good, go make another fan base dumber so we can make fun of them more.

Do you typically cry this much? Jesus you people are ridiculous. It's time to face facts: NO. ONE. WANTS. TO. COME. TO. TENNESSEE. RIGHT. NOW. get over it and move on

 

[Volfan615]

We just backed into a home run hire. So go away.

 

[BACKDOC]

He won a Natty at FSU, and that wasn't riding Saban's coat tail. Not to mention UGA's D really improved under him too.

So if 'awful' is vaporizing us 41-0 ...winning the SEC and now playing in the BCS playoffs then you guys are nuts..period.

 

[volintears]

Kirby Smart took over a I believe a 10 win a year program
Thats ton different than what we have here
Sorry that's a horrible comparison

 

[TNinSC]

We did better than Mississippi st, Arizona state, and i honestly believe florida state

Another budget hire. If UT does not care then neither do I. After 35 years I'm officially checking out

Ask your friend if he/she knows the difference between Tennessee and Georgia. Especially in the last 10 years.
