The fact that Friend is the second-highest-paid OL coach is otherworldly incompetence on Pruitt's part. That is just sickening.

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.

Graham delivers on blocking? Lol. He's not on the field and Gray sure as heck isn't picking up blitzes.

I believe this. There’s a reason you see Pruitt with a play sheet on offense. That’s not a good sign.

We could bring in a new coach with a better vision and style and immediately pick up 2-3 more wins. Or we can keep him, try to mix a lot of new coaches next year and win 2 SEC games again. Pruitt is making a lot of “first time head coach mistakes.” But the players aren’t getting developed, and we could take a massive hit if the NCAA enacts that one time transfer rule.

Hire a real lb coach. Chaney should replace Weinke, Nieds back to TE, make Osovet something like Co-OC or passing coordinator.

Chaney not coaching QBs is outright malpractice by Pruitt.

Most of all, keep Pruitt away from the offense. He should treat it exactly like Spurrier did defense.

Pruitt has a thin Rolodex. He’s been relatively few places which means he knows relatively few coaches. And he doesn’t trust any of them to do their jobs.

I’d pay to see those guys in a “loser leaves College Football” cage match.

I would be surprised to see Muschamp coaching in Knoxville. I do not see how this will not be a cluster this time next year. I think they will add the 4 OOC patsies and win a SEC game or two and tell the fan base, Look we are back. Sorry, ain’t buying it.

Worst case scenario. Pruitt gets fired about 8 games into next season, Muschump the interim finishes 3-1....

You can figure out the rest.

Dumpster fire doesn’t even aptly describe this mess. If anybody thinks that changing the staff under this clown will make any positive difference, they are delusional, stupid, or both.

And it doesn’t sound like he’s exactly gotten along with folks at those few stops.

This is a snowball rolling downhill.

Pruitt should have learned to not hire friends by now. Muschamp is a great DC but he will want what Pruitt can’t give... autonomy to run the damn defense.

Pruitt hired his buds with these exceptions. Friend worked with Helton (at UAB) and Fair (at Col St) and Ansley worked with Brumbaugh (at Kent). He hadn’t worked with Chaney or Tee.

Mischance may hate Tennessee, but like most coaches, likes Benjamin Franklin. 😉
But with that said, not sure two egos that size specializing on the same side of the ball would mesh

I agree but you would think that Pruitt and ego would not have enough time for offense but apparently he can't stay out of Chaney's way.
