Except for the fact that they didn't win it last year.

First, I’m not talking about last year. Clemson, last year, was a better team. They had a boatload of kids out last year too but not like this year. Moses was a top 10 pick.

One has to wonder....... will Little Nickey stay at Alabama longer than Pruitt stays in Knoxville? At some point soon players and coaches will begin to consider how long Little Nickey has left. IMHO it will not be long, as I make it a point to mention to every Bammer that I encounter" Lost three games in 2019, the Tide is going out"

So, Saban wants to hire him although this was his first ever season as a DC? At start of season, it looked as if Pruitt may have made a disastrous hire. The defense was completely lost. Players out of position and looking like they had no clue. Ansley, at that time, appeared to be the same way.

But, as the season went on things changed. The defense improved remarkably. Warrior was totally transformed. Everyone appeared to know their role and play it well. Have to credit Ansley with this for sure.

Pruitt hiring Ansley to such a huge rank without ever having been there was risky. But, it certainly appears that Pruitt knew what he was doing. Just more proof that we as fans don't know anything. Lol.

Tennessee needs continuity and some longevity. Which is nearly impossible in today's age of coaches jumping ship after a season or 2 all over the country. When Vols were at their best, they had these things. Coaches stayed together (for the most part).

I'm hoping Ansley is more old school in this thinking. Give him a raise, he's certainly earned it. He has a chance to stay at UT and build what he started from the ground up.

It's clear that Pruitt has visions of the future for the Vols. He and two coordinators are essential. CDA worked directly under CJP while at Bama and they have a good relationship apparently. CDA is familiar with what Pruitt wants to do defensively. As UT keeps climbing the statistical ladder to be one of the top defenses in the nation, which I feel they will, it will make no difference where CDA coaches at in terms of becoming a head coach eventually. Looking back at the start of the '19 season and the very quick turnaround on the defensive side of this team should lead one to believe that simply not enough time availed itself to right the ship.
I think our current AD has the knowledge to know the importance of continuity as it pertains to our top 3 coaches, head coach plus an OC and DC. I also feel this particular point was taken into consideration prior to the hires which both occurred prior to the start of the '19 season. I think OP's presentation of this tweet is a troll job to start with but any team wishing to hire one of these 3 will pay heavily,imo. Also once Pruitt's vision becomes apparent to the rest of the nation both Chaney and Ansley will be in much better position to negotiate future jobs and pay. I see our top 3 coaches sticking together for at least 3 more years and Fulmer adding sizeable incentives to all 3 in the interim.

no, don't want him to go but if he does Coach/AD Fulmer will help Coach Pruitt out in the search...we'll be all right since Coach Pruitt is the DC anyway...:D

GO BIG ORANGE!

You mean like this guy who just got relieved of his duties?

How about the 3 guys before him who all took better jobs? Or the countless other OC's under Saban that have gone on the HC positions. A coordinator position under Saban is probably the fastest way to get a HC job right now.

For the spirit of this discussion, you’re well aware. Is Terry Fair’s ALMA MATER University of Phoenix? Go ahead, say it...we already know. 😎

I mean Russell Wilson considers himself to be a Badger and part of the Wolf Pack so.... clearly it's possible for someone to have allegiances to multiple schools.
