The worst part now is wondering who the next coach will be AND what happens with the NCAA

Wouldn’t be surprised if they just leave Steele as the interim for the season. Then conduct a proper search later this year.

I’m worried about that actually Some good potential coaches that might be available this year I would hate to wait
ncaa penalties tho could be bad we’ll see

Report is they are firing him with cause. That’s big

 

[wmcovol]

OK.....just get him outta Knoxville. The guy isnt a head coach.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Pruitt is literally going to make more money getting fired and receiving a demotion than he would have by remaining head coach at a hallowed SEC program.

Jeremy Pruitt fired: Tennessee football begins another coaching search

 

[ftsandersvol]

I think by now it is safe to say Pruitt will be the head coach next year. It is now too close to NSD and spring practice to make a change. In true TN administration style, they have waited too long to make a move.

As I am the human contrarian indicator, all is beginning to be right with the world. I could single-handily take down Google, Apple, Amazon, etc. just by purchasing some of their stock.

Speaking of Google, I guess I need to keep it up and running for a few days now. Unfortunately, I'm probably going to need it.

I can see JP headed to the NFL if this proves true.

I wonder if saving the buyout money will offset the financial ramifications of whatever NCAA wrath might be coming UT's way.

If that's what happens, I'm ok with it for now. The major hurdle has been accomplished.

He’ll be back to Bama or his career is over

If he is facing sanctions from the NCAA that will limit his ability to recruit for any length of time, Saban won't touch him.

Fulmer didn't completely kill the program in the early 2000s so he came back to finish us off. Admire the commitment.

This is the damn truth

I'll be damned Phil Fulmer actually pulled the trigger!

Fulmer didn’t pull the trigger. Someone else did.

Fired for cause. Praise the football gods

Things to think about when it comes to the importance of stability...

From 1977 to 2008, Tennessee's football program had only 2 complete head coaching tenures (Johnny Majors and Phillip Fulmer). That was 32 seasons.

From 2009 to 2020, Tennessee's football program has had 4 complete head coaching tenures (Lane Kiffin, Derek Dooley, Butch Jones and Jeremy Pruitt). That was just 12 seasons.

and ....

From 1963 to 2002, Tennessee's athletics department had only 2 Athletic Directors (Bob Woodruff and Doug Dickey). That encompassed 39 football seasons.

From 2002 to 2020, Tennessee's athletics department will have had 4 Athletic Directors (Mike Hamilton, Dave Hart, John Currie and Phillip Fulmer). That only encompassed 19 football seasons.
