I’ve had insider info before, but not in a long time. I’d like a “cool story bro with whip”I spoke with a friend who currently works at the University and is connected well with those in athletics. Apparently the feeling is that they would have liked to stay with Pruitt for 5-6 years but now we are too far gone with Pruitt, but need a reasonable exit strategy that works for all parties. More than likely he will be here next year but there also has been a name being discussed the past couple days for replacement...Jamey Chadwell, who also coincidentally is originally from East Tennessee. Now I do not know how far along this is, or even if it is only speculation at this point.
Now I don't claim to be an insider, nor do I regularly get info, but this friend has given me accurate info in the past. Really I am just as tired of not hearing anything as everyone else is, so I figured I would post the littlest bit that I heard. I am sure I will catch crap from the board as VolNation typically does to people, but that's all i got.
FFS there's no way you could insinuate that....This crap show has over the past 10 years has proven that contingency plans are a 3 week after thought of the Ath Dept, prez and Board.You misinterpreted the post. If Pruitt is fired there is talk of Chadwell being the replacement. If Pruitt is brought back for next year which is more than likely the case then obviously no hire will take place. Not insinuating Tennessee is planning a year in advance. Contingency plans are necessary when no one for sure knows how this investigation will play out. Investigation does not implicate Pruitt then he will be back, if it goes wrong then we are all screwed and no good coach wants to come here and work through sanctions. Chadwell is in discussion for doing that even through any sanctions.
Agreed. If you, I and oh about 20% of this board fully understand this ....well...you know the obvious question that follows!This is true. What people need to understand is that the sole goal of sports media people is to get clicks or listeners. For the local ones this time of year is the dead zone. By stiring the pot the get more clicks and listeners. Finebaum has made a career out of stoking disgruntaled fan bases and taking pot shots at coaches.
I can vouch for that because I went to the same HS as Fulmer.I have a source who has a source whose source's source's sister said "Chadwell" in a meeting with Fulmer's great-aunt's hair dresser. Apparently he lived here once and that means.....well it means nothing, but he did live here once!

LOL...Caught that too. Would be like telling everyone I caught my wife with another man and we are divorcing but we are staying together for another year just for $hits and giggles.Lol so if we are too far gone on Pruitt why let him have another year. Tell your source he's FOS

You may be right about Pruitt. But that won't stop anything on here. The calls for different coaches will just get louder if he's back. This ends with Pruitt turning things around next year or a new coach.Did you miss that Pruitt was allowed to hire a coach? Hiring freeze (Freeze) is over. Another year of Pruitt.
