How did he jerk us around? I'm glad he didn't come to Tennessee but not because "he jerked us around".
That was just my shorthand way of saying this: "He dang well knew the uproar over his candidacy and did nothing but fan that flames, even going so far as hinting at it in national broadcasts." Also "He's supposed to be a huge fan of UT, but somehow we're supposed to believe that he was not aware of the uproar or conversely wasn't enjoying it to the hilt?" He could have saved the fans of the university he supposedly loved by squashing the rumors rather than playing footsie.
Now that he's 1-3 in his NFL return with his only victory being a OT win over the mighty Browns anyone still think he was the fix all to our problems??? Not saying he wouldn't have been a great hire but I think everyone thought he'd just return and the Raiders would dominate. I think I read before the win this weekend he had lost his last 8 or 9 games in the NFL.
I would trade Pruitt for Gruden right now. We need elite recruits and we need fan excitement. Gruden brings both.
To be honest I don't think most fans thought this was going to happen. I'm sure some with Orange colored pupils may have. Those same fans probably thought Pruitt would win the SEC this year.
I think it became a fun thing to dream about, poke fun of , create memes of etc.
PS : I've heard Jon has purchased additional land in Sevier County just off Deep Springs Road.
