Hard not to blame him. Pruitt left Tennessee a mess and Chandler, who already played an undervalued position to the NFL, had an opportunity to play at a high powered offense for Mack Brown. Sam Howell was projected to be heisman candidate and 1st round pick at the time.
Granted, he likely would have ended up doing well under Huepel, but there was so much uncertainty at the time and who knew what the consequences would be for Tennessee.
I wish him well. If he wants to rep Tennessee and consuders himself a Vol, I forgive him.
