Football Scoop reporting Helton is out

[DC_Vol]

Why? He is cleaning house. If you are not all in, you are out

Because he just hired him this past year? And made him one of the highest compensated assistants in college football?

Shouldn’t he have figured out if he was all in while they were interviewing one another?

 

[Boston_Vol]

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?

Cut it out. These are grown, men. No job in America will pay you a 7 figure salary and not expect results. There is literally no job in America that will pay when you don't produce results. Why should being an OC be any different.

If you guys REALLY think UT is going to dish out big bucks for an OC then reality hasn't kicked you in the nads enough over the past 10 years...He'll go get a name that is barely known and swear he is one of the brightest young minds in football...And the fanbase will buy into it and go crazy until he lays an egg...Same old story.

And now the poor guy will get paid to get fired. When does it end?!

I wish I could figure out how to get fired, but still get paid millions. I'd go drop kick my boss at his house right now.

 

[DC_Vol]

I'm leaning towards BS at this point

I agree. Mostly because it would be monumentally stupid unless there is some jerry springer stuff going on behind the scenes that we don’t know about.

 

[Cartervol]

How do you pay a guy that kind of money then fire him less than a year later. Ugh. I'm starting to have more and more doubt all the time.

Wonder if he has the replacement already lined up

I bet he does

 

[jpope9]

Get Hugh Freeze! He would love to have a 2nd chance in the SEC!

holy hell if that happened.....

Ok then. Give me the names. Lets hear the big time OCs that are lined up to make over a million a year as our OC. I will hang up and listen.

 

[VOLnMiami]

Tony Basilio wins again. Called it months ago.

Now let’s go get Freeze, Petrino, or Kingsbury.

Never happen

Our new OC fresh from Hoover High.

UT made Helton one of the highest paid OCs.

Helton is making $1.2 million this season. I think that qualifies as “big bucks.”

 

[Rockytoptilidie]

Zero chance, but wouldn’t Kliff be great if Tech canned him?

 

[rocketskates]

Well, he said he wanted to see the offense run the wing T so maybe he found a witch doctor to resurrect Dave Nelson’s ghost

Sometimes it does not work. If you know it is not working then more time will not make it better.
Better to make a change early than let it get worse

 

[VOLnMiami]

Oh god now we are going to be over run with former bammers now..

 

[Volzonya]

Freeze! Lol

I don’t necessarily disagree. Still would reflect poorly on Pruitt though.

 

[Ace]

Ditto- Pruitt is also not a good hire for the price we paid. You or I could have coached this team and won 4 games this year ( at a lot less cost to)

Bet you couldn’t. Bet team would not listen to a thing you had to say

Joe... my office NOW!... Smitty.

Would look worse next year. Hire slow - fire fast

Absolutely not
