Well some of that could be believable until you got to the Barnes supports Fulmer part. That is - well - that is definitely false. Barnes cannot stand Fulmer. They don't speak unless it's absolutely necessary.

There's some boosters that still can pull the strings and get Coach Gomer out of here if they want. It's not been decided yet so anyone who says that he's back beyond a shadow of a doubt is 100% inaccurate. He might be, but that decision DEFINITELY has not been made yet.

Be still my heart! Here's to hoping your info is for real, and that they decide to give Gomer the boot.

If the stuff about Pruitt interfering with the offensive playcalls is true, he should be gone immediately. Wait, he should be gone immediately for playing JG game after game...or for getting blown out by KY and Arky...or for having more blowout losses at this point in his tenure than any previous coach...

Please, please, please, power boosters, do the right thing and get that jacka#s out of here and go get us Hugh Freeze. We'll be in the playoffs within three years and you will go down in history for saving UT football.

I’m no insider, but... One of the great BS intros of the forum.

I can share with medium high certainty from a friend who is very inside:

Ansley has done preliminary interviews with pro teams.
Muschamp has interviewed with Pruitt and Fultummy to be DC. May happen. May not.
Chaney does not agree with development trajectory of line or QB. He does not like the amount of cross-training of line, nor their lack of weekly contact or physical regimen. Last year, he intervened and took them over for almost a month. This year he did not. Chaney has spent time with every QB over the last three weeks. He prefers Shrout, but has not liked Weinke’s coaching, or his way of coaching details. Chaney created a simplified playbook and check down scheme, and both Shrout and Bailey did well. Shrout did better. Pruitt is not a fan of Shrout. Something will break here. Also, Chaney has enormous respect for Osovet, but believes he’s being misused. Osovet may go. He’s well liked but a weird fit.
Tee and Pruitt butt heads on WR priorities. Tee is a bit checked out. Tee believes in route specificity, details, and aggressive blocking. He wants receivers to play aggressively like Jennings, and fight CB’s and block. Oddly Pruitt wants speed and height, but fought against overt physicality and high traffic style of last year’s WR’s. Chaney loves passing to the middle, TE drags, and aggressive play against DB’s ala Da’Rick or Juan. Pruitt wants to focus on speed and height, and low risk screens and long routes. Not a fan of back shoulder throws, crossing routes, slants or, TE drags. Hesitant to use slot, and wides over the middle. Many O calls are overridden by Pruitt. Bubble screen with multiple blockers has been called many times by Chaney, overridden by Pruitt, until last night. Chaney is highly adaptable to a variety of head coaching personalities, but is fatigued by Pruitt’s interference in micro-details. If he doesn’t get more control and some staff changes, he might go.

On D, Linebacker body development and technique development has taken a huge step back. Henry T is now too light to hold area, and too slow to cover. Outside LB’s are always caught between run and pass coverage, and are responsible for most blown middle assignments. DB’s are loyal to Ansley, but get mixed signals from him and Pruitt.

Back on O, RB is a happy group. Chaney believes it’s our only fundamental strength. Graham delivers on blocking, ball security, pass patterns and running style. Best position coach on the team. He and Tee are close. They will probably coach together in the future. TE is improving as a group.

Look for Nieds to move, Osovet to move or leave, Ansley to leave, Tee to leave or change role, Graham is looking, Weinke and Friend to leave. Muschamp coming is higher than 50/50, but not by much. Rocker may also return. That’s pure speculation from my friend, but Muschamp believes he’s the best DL coach in D1, and Rocker did not leave here on bad terms.

There is substantial dissatisfaction with Fulmer among a strong group of boosters, and an equally supportive patient group of boosters supporting him. He has everyone in the AD on his side, down to every secretary. He’s supported by Barnes, and key people in state government. Fulmer has support of chancellor and board. While there is some real contempt for Pruitt, it’s highly unlikely that consensus could be formed on firing him. Position coaching changes will happen before holiday break. If there’s a Vanderbilt game, and loss that might be the only straw that could break the camel this year. Otherwise this is the chess board as seen from a friend who sees the show up close.

We will need this insiders name, we need to check his/her stats, until such a time, we shall file this in the “this is just so much BS to try and get clicks“ file

I can’t tell you odds, but the talks have happened. Pruitt and Muschamp have the closest friendship of any two SEC coaches. Sexton is making a strong push for the move to UT. If he doesn’t DC for us, he will somewhere in the SEC. The numbers are too easy. SC pays for a 1mm DC. What’s not to like?

Sexton is also pushing Freeze. Basically the guy is hedging his bets.

Bringing knowledge and being a head coach of a university are two different aspects all together. Manning is as stubborn as they come so I could see that kind of personality clashing just like Pruitts does. I think Manning would possibly make a stellar position coach though.

Or Sexton is just using the idea of Freeze coming to UT to get him more money from another school.

Freeze wants UT. I won’t be surprised if he can’t force it this year if he doesn’t collect his 3 mil from liberty to come next year. It would take a legitimate university like LSU, or Auburn (good friends with Gus) so seems unlikely he would take it but maybe to pull him elsewhere. If being back in the SEC is all that mattered he would have taken USC Jr up on the offer.

Not necessarily. Freeze said he had no interest in USC and USC also showed zero interest in Freeze. Hard for freeze to take USC if neither side didn’t want to talk to each other.

Freeze will wait for Tennessee to open up before going back to SEC.

Yeah, color me not convinced that Freeze is actually gunning for the currently-not-open Tennessee HC job, just because Bruce Feldman said when he was growing up that he wanted to coach at Tennessee.

You have to look at it on a case by case basis. Plenty of successful players have had successful coaching careers.

Doesn’t mean Manning could not provide great input for our Qb’s in an advisory role. I’m not talking about an offensive assistant. Manning wouldn’t do that. If he gets back into Football it would be in an owner/Administration role like Elway.
