Do you really think so? I disagree, I think each team has used different protocols within there own programs. I think our team who is certainly leaning on young players have been significantly hurt by the delayed, interrupted and substandard start to the year... we’ve had two solid weeks of practice. I think we will see improvementCOVID is not an excuse since every team was dealing with the relatively same circumstances
Many people have said that Dooley was one of the most intelligent Coaches they ever met. Have yet to hear that particular description ever applied to PruittI think Dooley was better than this mess at this point, Dooley and Cheney put up some points and yards with Bray and co, defense was a nightmare though
we have coaches who have been successful everywhere...
1. 2020 is abnormal. Can’t judge by normal standards
2. $$ Tenn is almost thru paying Butch
CJPs buyout would be even bigger for 5 more years!
3. $$ Tenn is in an almost 40 million $ shortfall due to Chinese Virus, there are no funds.
4. There is no magic Booster or Boosters to come up with the $$
5. $$ to hire big time big name proven would take Big Time $$. See reasons 2-3-4
6. Last attempt at hiring made Tenn the laughing stock of America before Fulmer got there, It’s only been 3 years.. Media and Coaches / Agents not gonna be warm to another search..
7. Swallow your Pride. Tenn is not a top 20 job right now. Truth
8. It’s going to take 2 more solid too 10 recruiting classes to fix this team, change Coaches and you will start from scratch as 40% or better if roster will transfer if.. this is the one and done winter coming up.
But they have $12 million to continue drilling a dry hole? Continued losing isn’t going to result in “2 more solid recruiting classes”. Then what do you have? A bad losing head coach who can’t recruit. Hmmmmmm

Pruitt was obviously doing some things right at the end of last year.. we saw glimpses of good growth and coaching, I think Pruitt get another year at least to right the ship... there is a built in legit excuse with covid as well, players have looked out of shape.
The argument made here on VN the last few weeks is that no HC’s would be fired because how Covid effected College’s financials. Muschamp’s firing has contradicted those opinions to some degree so it is not an given anymore. Unless you are in the loop with the UT power structure you do not know for certain UT firing Pruitt is an impossibility. I was making the same argument you are making two weeks ago. I cannot make that argument today.South Carolina firing Muschamp means zilch about our coaching situation and Pruitt’s hot seat. Just because they fired Muschamp with big buyout, that doesn’t mean we will. We have done nothing better than pay big buyouts the last decade. USC has not. It’s easy for them to get donors as a whole to fire Muschamp. That is not the case at Tennessee and will never be the case. To compare the situations because “well look how similar Muschamp’s buyout is to Pruitt’s” is not a smart argument to make.
Pruitt won’t be fired in Covid year
Covid had nothing to do with Pruitt not attempting that FG recently and the pitiful excuses he had for not going for it. He is not HC material.Do you really think so?
