There is no reason to Keep Pruitt.

[DULL_BOY]

Knowing that the powers that be won’t go deep in the pockets if they fire Pruitt....this would be the best hire with our situation right now.....Steve Sarkisian. He’s been in the NFL...coached for Pete Carroll and coached 2 Heisman Winners Palmer and Lienart. He has HC experience with Washington and USC but had those alcohol demons during that span. His college offensive squads have always been solid. Look at what he has done with Tua Tagovailoa and Mac Jones.

It doesn't really matter now. Tennessee football has fallen so far that they are unlikely to ever regain elite status in the SEC, much less on the national level. There is simply not enough high-quality football talent in the state of Tennessee to make the program competitive and when you are on TV week after week after week after week after week getting blown out by 20+ points, it is impossible to convince star athletes from other states that Tennessee is where they want to play.

Last weekend, Meyer expressed a lot of admiration towards the Tennessee football program, and it made many speculate whether he might be interested in returning to the SEC at some point.

“They were heads and tails above the other teams in the SEC East,” he said, recounting what the Volunteers were like when he first joined the SEC.

“They were the best team in the SEC East; Phil Fulmer was the coach. They had NFL Draft picks all over their team. They recruited at a high, high level.

“You go in the stadium, and I remember my family told me one time, that’s the hardest stadium to play [in]. And you saw just a steady deterioration.”

Meyer also seemed confident that it wouldn’t be particularly hard to recruit at Tennessee.

“And I heard that Tennessee’s not a great state for recruiting; I don’t know if I believe that,” he noted.

“Nashville’s great high school football. Memphis is great high school football,” he continued.


“So I’m not sure what’s going on. It’s been that way for a few years now. So I’m just shocked.
“Because I think Tennessee, you see their facilities, you see the investment in the program and I’m not sure what’s going on.”

He then called the Volunteers one of the best coaching jobs in America.
“You’re talking about one of the top 10 jobs in America, a tradition-rich program,” Meyer said.

I just wanted to say to all those WANTING TO KEEP PRUITT. He is a defensive coach and our defense has not played well at all this season. The Gators are picking us apart with slants and in routes. Our linebackers dont have pass coverage speed. Banks and croutch are running backs. I wanted Pruitt to succeed but I just dont see it at all. JP needs to go, and Freeze needs to be hired now. #FreezeWARNINGtonite!!!

Honestly, he’s the head ball coach. Our coach for that matter. As much as I hate losing, I’m going to support him 100% . Face it , unless something tragic happens or dramatically happens. He’s going to be her for 2 more years. As a long time fan, being mad , stressed hasn’t solved anything. Ride or die if not go kick rocks. There is plenty of other teams to cheer on. Make your peace and take your pick. I literally just spent money on new Tennessee gear so I’m not going anywhere. Maybe once for a freaking weekend we can talk more about kicking some Gator tail , support this team and maybe just maybe it’ll also help fill energy in our boys and help in recruiting. Why would any top recruit want to go to a place that constantly sees negative tweets from fans like these. These kids are on Twitter more than their in their books. Alright , I’m done blast away don’t care. GBO

Anyone who thinks he gets two more years is on some very serious drugs. I will bet you any amount of money you want to bet that he doesn't.

I say we keep Pruitt and let him coach something, just make him work. Then we hire Urban as the head coach 2. Let Urban get rid of a few of the staff and
keep the ones that might be ok. Perhaps Pruitt can help coach the defense? Not sure! Make it so bad for him just quits. Let him keep Urby's car clean as a second task.

I feel ya, but it’s the Tennessee thing to do so that’s why. Phil has already said that we fans need to be calm and be patient, like we haven’t the last 12 years but again they want us to be patient. If he would be fired next year would only be because 2021 was worse than 2020, and it’s already terrible. If I’m wrong then good , would love to have a better coaching staff. A winning coaching staff

Whenever they hire another coach, I just hope it is not someone from Nick Saban's staff.

If he doesn't win at least eight games next year he's gone, and should be. He should be gone right now so we don't lose out on Freeze, who is actually a coach.
