Football Scoop reporting Helton is out

[LosingFaithVol]

So you are comparing Pruitt to Butch and Dooley? Do you not know the difference between all 3?

They each have a unique way of losing?

 

[AaronUT]

Big question is, if this is true, then where does Pruitt go? What OC is going to want to take the job knowing he doesnt even have 1 season?

Dooley

 

[Orangeredblooded]

My theory is Fulmer has all this planned where Pruitt will become so sick of this he just resigns mid season and Fulmer steps in and nevers steps out.

Did you come up with this theory by yourself?

 

[onevol74]

I think also the D coordinator that was pretty good under Dooley. Went to Washington I think.

Can’t recall his name this second.

Wilcox is now the head coach at Cal.

 

[Volnbeers]

helton brought us chryst and london....fire him and bring in an OC that can recruit real football players.

IMO of course

 

[rocketskates]

Guess I was wrong...in any case I don’t see how you can Helton based off of one season and a piss poor offensive line. I guess we will see what happens...

 

[GAVol]

What about the O.C. at Missouri? They hung 50 on us.

You win the thread.

They each have a unique way of losing?

Was Butch and Dooley head coaches before coming to TN? Was Pruitt?

 

[AaronUT]

Fulmer is at the helm with CJP. They will be diligent and calculated; may even wait till after ESD. Can't be letting the inmates (us) run the prison.

 

[volgrad500]

If he fires his OC after one year, it's gonna underscore the grumblings that he coaches like someone playing Playstation.

 

[VolArmy74]

I'm all for anyone from the Leach tree. Those guys light it up as OC and usually become pretty good head coaches.

 

[maotai]

Okay it looks like I accidentally stepped into a thread that has way too many posters camped up and making stupid arguments just because. I will be more careful next time and will see myself out.

 

[1972 Grad]

Was Butch and Dooley head coaches before coming to TN? Was Pruitt?

yep

 

[shotgun83]

I don't get the love for Freeze. His time at Ole Miss was smoke and mirrors- if you are cheating at the level he was, you can't really look at the results and learn anything from it. Plus, didn't he have a losing record to Memphis? I just don't get Freeze.

I agree. I question his judgment for joining the Arizona Hotshots

 

[Orangeredblooded]

We should hire by lottery ticket. Winning numbers gets the job and then the buyout.

Why not by drawing straws, don’t have to get a computer involved.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

You can’t get over a $1M a year and have the 111th ranked offense in the country. Just can’t

What sbou th the players, they have to execute....

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Dooley and Butch were.

Exactly. You cannot compare Pruitt, Dooley and Butch.

 

[shotgun83]

yep

Dooley also double dipped as AD

 

[GAVol]

I'm all for anyone from the Leach tree. Those guys light it up as OC and usually become pretty good head coaches.

That style of play certainly worked great for Hal Mumme.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

The only way Helton leaving looks good is if it’s mutual.

With less than a year on the job, nothing makes this look good.

 

[TennJoe06]

What’s a Tennessee off season without a coaching search.

 

[GAVol]

If he fires his OC after one year, it's gonna underscore the grumblings that he coaches like someone playing Playstation.

We generally evaluate like we're playing PlayStation, so we're a match made in heaven.

 

[JazzMaster001]

If Helton gone and Pruitt hires Friend as OC, Pruitt’s going to catch hell real fast.

Got a feeling this may be what happens

 

[VolArmy74]

That style of play certainly worked great for Hal Mumme.

Mumme/Leach's offense wasn't an issue at all when he had Leach at Kentucky. One of those Leach guys was at Missouri last year and put 140 points on Florida, Tennessee and Candy in 3 consecutive weeks.

 

[Jack Burton]

If Helton gone and Pruitt hires Friend as OC, Pruitt’s going to catch hell real fast.

It will be officially over then. Shut down the program.
