Why I'm Done Defending Pruitt

[TNHopeful505]

The way that Pruitt handled the media last night was atrocious. You just lost, and handled your QBs in the most baffling manner. And when the media, whose job it is to find out answers and report, ask you questions, you get offended and answer condescendingly and arrogantly.

If you cannot humble yourself enough to treat people who are doing their job with respect, then you cannot be the Head Coach at a high profile school like Tennessee.

Pruitt has proven in many ways that he is in over his head. But now, it is obvious that his disdain and arrogance and pride is going to sink him here.

I absolutely hate the fact that he has a buyout and that we are going to have to pay to get rid of his horrible attitude and incompetence.

Check my post history, I wanted him to be successful here. But it is obvious to me that he isnt even willing to look inside himself at his own mistakes. And therefore, he is not going to turn this program around.

Like when he began his answer to one question by saying “I don’t know how much you know about football”...such a condescending and unnecessary remark to make.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Agree with you. I have been trying to make myself believe its the circumstances but can't use that excuse anymore. He probably has one more chance to fire assistants to save his butt this season, then he is on his on after that.

He’s trying to act like Saban in his interview. He’s a clown idiot that is no HC. It’s cool if Nick puts the press in their place not Pruitt.

You can question and lecture the media when you win and are in the hunt for the NC every year. We struggle to be the best team in Tennessee.

His saving grace is that we just don't have the money to fire him.

He wont have to fire them. They'll leave. Itll be like when Wilcox left Dooley bc he saw what was coming.

No matter what UT'S football future holds, I hope his departure comes sooner than later.

If he is at the helm next year, I won't pay $65 a month for YouTube tv to watch. I dont watch things when I already know the ending. I give too much of life to football to watch us be coached by a guy who thinks he is something when he is not.

The only Pruitt defenders left are the ones that don’t care about winning.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

He crossed the bridge into Butch Jones a-hole territory with that display last night.

 

[BeardedVol]

His saving grace is that we just don't have the money to fire him Fulmer unnecessarily extended his contract.

FYP

Wilcox left because we wouldn’t offer him money to make him say no to other jobs offering him. Had he stayed in Dooley’s 3rd year, we likely win 9-10 games minimum. The downfall of Dooley was letting Wilcox leave.

 

[TNHopeful505]

I'm not sure even Butch was that rude and forward. Butch got frustrated and irritated, but nothing like what Pruitt said to Toppmeyer and how he treated them last night.

agree....I was even offended by the way he treated them.....I hope every one of them barbeque his sorry condescending a** every time they get a chance

Two days ago I considered making a thread defending Pruitt saying that we might be screwed by the transfer rule and all of the players might leave with him.

Today? Dont care. Clean house. They can all transfer. Start from scratch. If they dont wanna win, fine. But I'm tired of not winning.

I sometimes wonder how much Beldar knows about football....

If the NCAA approves a 1-time transfer rule, I don't think it will matter much in the end.

I dont question that he knows defense. But game management, offense, how to run a program? No way. Over his head.

You're right. Get a competent coach, and itll help you more than it hurts you.

Peter Principle on full display.

Beldar has reached his level of incompetence.

Yep. Guys could sign early in December, and jump ship at the end of spring. That's with the assumption that there will be some kind of transfer window that a player has to transfer by a certain date to play in the same season.

Could also work in a new coaches favor, as a signee or prospective signee might be more likely to stay committed and try out the new coach possibly, if there is an avenue to leave if they don't see themselves playing for that coach.

can you give me his abbreviated response to the question? I didn’t hear it and rather not try to listen to him -lol.

I agree with you, but I will say most reports are jerks...

The bigger jerk here is not the reporter. Its Pruitt in full jerk mode.
